I'm always open to new stuff though - and it's only been in the last few years I've started watching films more than one a year!Leica said:Well it's just that, based on some of your posts here about stuff you like/don't like, I am not sure that we like the same things (White Stripes excluded )
Maybe I was too young and easily impressed back then, but I was stunned by the look of Poison when it came out. It might seem different to me if I watched it again now.Reno said:I thought the Genet inspired episode in Poison was beautiful, but I wasn't so keen on the other two stories.

Oh, I am going to just watch it. I prefer picking out loads of films in advance so I forget all about the blurb, and then just watching them with no preconceptionsReno said:Just watch it, Safe is a fantastic film.
I read the book first, and I think my favourite bit was in the shop when that guy comes in looking for a record for his daughterBalbi said:High Fidelity. It's fucking great.

I thought everything he did apart from High Fidelity was rubbish actually - ALWD was excruciatingly crap. I think I only liked HF cos there were bits in it that reminded me of myself - the compilation tapes etcthedailymail said:Hornby is good. My fav was "A Long Way Down," it's good to see the issue of depression being dealt with from that perspective, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Babel's a fucking brilliant film, the rural Moroccan scenes were fantastic; spot on! (Not so much the Brad Pitt wife storyline stuff... though the opium woman rocked! )Juice Terry said:Babel, mostly a bunch of arse, not even close to Amores Peres or 21 grams, the japanese bits were ok though, Paltrow was as usual taking the gold medal for most annoying person on the planet.
Sorry meant Blanchett.^^^^

Of course it isthedailymail said:For the record that is opinion.
Hey, no -- please say what you thinksojourner said:*must remember not to diss any of Leica's suggestions! *
You don't have to get defensive about it. You like his stuff, I think he's 99% shite. No soapbox requiredthedailymail said:Well Hornby hardly alleges to be literary genius, his books are light and accessible, and i like the way this one (ALWD) dealt with the issues.
For the record that is opinion.

Yeah those poor little shepherd boys shooting people for fun, should've been given a medal for taking down the rich american oppressors.tastebud said:I think it brilliantly portrayed the fact that those least deserving end up with the most & those most deserving end up with all the suffering!
Tbf, I don't think you've seen the film. Or else fell asleep half way through/missed some of it.Juice Terry said:Yeah those poor little shepherd boys shooting people for fun, should've been given a medal for taking down the rich american oppressors.
Fucking weird set of values you've got.
A lot of people hated this film and a very few adored it - I'm intrigued nowtastebud said:Tbf, I don't think you've seen the film. Or else fell asleep half way through/missed some of it.
