What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[Sunray]

Grrr, only if you take pendantary to a level that they build shrines to honor you.

I said don't bring music into it, Will Young's popular ffs.

*goes out*

 

[DaveCinzano]

pendantary

"pedantry"





sorry

 

[DaveCinzano]

anyway...

last night watched 'dobermann', but i had a headache and it was too loud

today watched 'traffik', still excellent, 15 years on.

 

[MightyAphrodite]

along came polly and 50 first dates.

they both sucked!

 

[Loki]

Bend it Like Beckham. Top film

who's being a pe(n)dant? it's just a fact - there is, and logically cannot be, an objective standard against which films can be absolutely judged. there can only be tradition, consensus and cultural norms/trends.

I said don't bring music into it, Will Young's popular ffs.

and so is Armageddon. same argument, why should i leave music out of it? the argument holds equally for any art form.

i look at a rothko i see nothing. some people are moved by it. i think rothko's bad art, they don't.

i look at american beauty, i see dishonesty and emptiness and lazy film making. you like it.

exactly the same. dunno why you're being so obstinate about something that's so obvious

 

[DaveCinzano]

heheh... in this spat, sunray sounds like my old english teacher, and dubversion sounds like my dad

 

[walktome]

My dad got Meet The Fockers before it came out so me and my sister watched that. It was funny.

 

[dlx1]

a bit of light harted films

Tremors 1 & 2

Tremors FAQ

 

[Loki]

David Lynch's superb Blue Velvet

 

[DaveCinzano]

watched the disappointing 'mulholland falls'. tries too hard to be 'chinatown' by way of 'l.a. confidential' and fails

unconvincing script, performances and direction, appalling sound, plot holes galore and a terrible ending. avoid.

on the plus side, nice suits

and i don't remember jennifer connelly looking like that in 'the rocketeer'

 

[Sunspots]

and i don't remember jennifer connelly looking like that in 'the rocketeer'

In that case young krs, I think you're really going to get a shock when you watch 'Requiem For A Dream'...

(Will drop it 'round at some point this week. )

Walkabout

Psychedelic coming-of-age movie played out in the withering heat of the Australian outback. Winsome Jenny Agutter and her midget brother are abandoned in the desert in school uniform, with only a radio and a tea cloth for company. Their journey together through the outback's arid landscape takes them back to an altogether more primitive mode of existence, aided by a young Aborigine on his 'Walkabout', a traditional rite of passage. Agutter plays it deadpan but is very convincing as a well-heeled English schoolgirl grimly clinging to 'civilisation' while her little brother adapts readily to their new surroundings. Stunning visuals and a lush John Barry soundtrack combine to provide both a rich cinematic exerience and a pean to pastoral simplicity.

Time for some tempura prawns

 

[Phatboy Donza]

The Motorcycle diairies and Garden State.....

Both very very good films in their own right.....we need more films like these...

 

[Juice Terry]

A Tale of Two Sisters - Atmospheric Korean chiller that was a bit too slow and long to keep me fully interested but not a bad effort.

The LadyKillers - Probably the worst Coen brothers film to date, a few decent moments but didn't add enough to the original to make it worthwhile. Tom Hanks' attempt to emulate/imitate Guinness is truly dire and unintelligible

The Last Samurai - Words fail me.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I watched Bad Santa last night - must say I was a bit disappointed. Felt like it was just being rude for the sake of it...

 

[Dubversion]

Felt like it was just being rude for the sake of it...

you say that like it's a BAD thing

 

[Elpenor]

The Hole, on my brand new just installed last night DVD drive.

Not bad.

 

[Loki]

Once again - Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby. Creepy as fuck but a great film!

 

[stdPikachu]

Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby.

Saw that for the first time on TV a few weeks ago. Incredibly tense horror without resorting to any jumpy shocks or any of the tired old clichés. Masterful stuff.

 

[Balbi]

Just watched in quick succession...

Collateral

&

Bubba Ho-Tep

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Last night I watched Curse of the Jade Scorpion, a Woody Allen film, which I really enjoyed. Got Mighty Aphrodite to watch as well... Having only previously seen one Woody Allen film (Deconstructing Harry) until recently, Iv'e watched that and Manhattan Murder Mystery and am now quite keen to get hold of some of his other films...

 

[passenger]

The Village i liked it different good ending any one else like it ?

 

[Orang Utan]

I didn't watch it cos I managed to guess the ending just from reading the reviews.

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

One hour photo, i quite like robin williams in it which suprised me, he does creepy well!

That film had the opposite effect on me.

Last Night - Peep Show. I laughed and laughed and laughed.
