it's quite good ... the guy is a mojor lolicon though hehe
i have the OVA and it's really good but probably quite odd for most as about 50% of the jokes are to do with distinctive japanese culture (in the ova it's all to do with osaka)

New Order - "A Collection". Videos from '80 onwards. Some good, some bad, some abominable (Kathryn Bigelow and Keith Allen, go to the back of the class). Notable for two works of genius: Jonathan Demme's 'The Perfect Kiss' and Paula Greif's 'Round And Round' (US version).

Of course, but Alexander Payne's genius is eliciting sympathy in characters despite their shocking behaviour.

Well it didn't work on me. Good film and all but the only sympathy I had was for the women.Orang Utan said:

so you seek out movies featuring leading characters of unblemished personality and spotless morals?
how fucking dull.
well knowing i'm facing a couple of days in bed feeling ill, i bought these in a cheap Blockbuster deal:
La Nina Santa
A Very Long Engagement
The Yes Men
My Summer Of Love
The Dreamers
so that should be fun

Not half as dull (and mind numbingly predictable) as blindly laying into anyone who even slightly criticises a film you like.Dubversion said:

Bullet Boy - dull and predictable, though i suppose that was half the point...
illness drove Pie Face and i to the sofa yesterday and we watched:
My Summer of Love - excellent but flawed (ending is predictable and weak)
La Nina Santa - maybe we weren't in the mood, but it just seemed dull, we lasted 30 minutes.
Oldboy - finally saw this. absolutely fantastic, but often disgusting. having said that, still beautifully made..

Sin City - finally - and all I can say is it's like Jessica Alba; pretty and vacuous

So style over substance then?

Totally - it shows up how paper thin the orginal comic is as well IMHO.
Apparently 'Hard Boiled' has been optioned for production by Miller/Rodrgiuez. That'll be fun, trying to get all those bodies on screen at once...

Would you describe the portrayal of women in there as offensive? Ive not seen it but heard a discussion on Front Row and read several reviews that were highly critical of female characters in it.

Personally no I wouldn't - it's cheesy and just as all the male characters are scum most of the female characters are whores. Pretty standard noir-ish type stuff for 18 year old boys.
IMO there isn't enough depth to any of the characters to be offensive.

that's about the measure of it. once you get used to how good it looks, there's nothing there. wasted opportunity IMO
Which did you prefer out of Sin City and Batman Begins?
RenegadeDog said:
Sin City - it looked new and interesting and had a consistent mood, even though there was no substance, and most of the acting was ok (clive owen excepted).
Batman Begins nicked its entire look from other movies, had a dreadful fucking plot, didnt know what it wanted to be, had dreadful acting and a piss poor script.
