Fozzie bear. He's a comedian, but he's tragically, comically unfunny.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Is this what passes for comedy these days? How much did this pile of bilge cost to make? How could Willem Dafoe stoop so low - and how did he get so short? What the fuck???? The film meanders all over the place and only really comes to life when they get boarded by pirates. Kind of reminds me of a Tom Robbins novel, but don't ask me which one.
i thought that was a great movie, i loved the way it meandered all over the place

I have an amazing ability to tolerate boredom.reNnIe said:
For example the last DVD i watched was "first daughter" preceeded by the soft porn classic that is the "wicker man"
(Oh and other cinematic S&M that i sat through recently included "Tomb Raider 2" and "The League of Extraodrinaily badly scripted gentlemen")
Kill me
I really liked the Life Aquatic. I think it must be a marmite film...
These last few days I've been catching up on some of the big summer releases:
War of the Worlds. Passable. 6/10
Charlie and the chocolate factory. better than the old film. 7/10
Mr and mrs Smith. A bit pants really. 5.5/10
Also watched Unbreakable again. Still awesome. 9.5/10

What's 'eek' about that? One of the best films of the decade so far
The whole thing is a tour de force in stunning visuals, great script and acting, and cracking denouement.

the one with Willis and L. Jackson?
i thought it was crap. and i thought it was universally regarded as crap

Hmm... I was told by a few people it was crap, so I never saw it at the cinema, but watched it last year and was utterly blown away.
I then did a thread on here and I would say it was about 70% in favour.

well each to their own. i thought the village was superb when i saw it in the cinema. most people disagree.
i should really see unbreakable again as i watched it as a 'recovery' film, you know the mornings where you can't physically or mentally do anything apart from sit there and watch a film.... maybe i'll like it more with a clear head

I thought the Village was reasonable. But Unbreakable is still my favourite of his (haven't seen Signs and not sure I can be bothered - dislike Mel gibson)...

I was talking about McShite Shamalamadingdong.
I agree about Mad Max 2. I also enjoyed 'Mutiny'.

I disagree. Even the Village was at least interesting.
Anyway, you thought the truman show was shit. Which proves you have no taste

anyone seen year of living dangerously with gibbo in it?
saw it the other night and it was pretty damn good. mainly because it was a moment in time, just sooooo eighties, but also because peter weir is a good director.

Yeah Peter Weir's one of these directors who's quietly been turning out great films for years, yet never quite gets mentioned as one of the 'greats' because he isn't quite groovy-funky enough. Yet his oevre includes Master and Commander (not my cup of tea but quite highly rated), Truman Show (one of my all time favourites), Dead Poets society (great film), Mosquito Coast (I really liked this too), and Gallipoli...

yeah i think alexander payne is becoming a similar type of director, independent enough in terms of the way they direct, even though they get big names, or they are big films, they retain that independent creativity which you don't get in 'studio' films, even if they are a blockbuster
jugularvein said:
Yeah, I loved both Sideways and About Schmidt, but didn't get into Citizen Ruth so much (about the abortion debate, I found it a bit unsubtle).
I know what you mean though. Directors who are in the mainstream but don't just churn out the same old stuff each time.
