Just watched East is East, I'd forgotten how funny it was and how touching too.
I'm sad and smiling at the same time.

Dazed and Confused

After the success of 'Slacker', Richard Linklater turned his hand to the 70s generation for this coming-of-age movie depicting one night's events at the end of the school year. PIsses all over the turgid offerings of John Hughes etc, not a prom dress in sight, but plenty of outrageous bullying and pot.

'Dazed' is delivered in Linklater's signature laid back style, lending the film a realistic, almost documentary feel. It provides us with a snapshot of a lost era and left me feeling warm and nostalgic for my own lost youth. This was the third time I've watched it and it gets better and better each time.

"Man, it's the same bullshit they tried to pull in my day. If it ain't that piece of paper, there's some other choice they're gonna try and make for you. You gotta do what Randall Pink Floyd wants to do man. Let me tell you this, the older you do get the more rules they're gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N." :D

You gotta laugh at that other quote where ther redheaded young woman says "The 70s obviously suck. Maybe the 80s are going to be really cool, when we are all in our 20s ..." Hahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha ... :D
 
finally got round to watching The Life Aquatic with Steve Zisou.

very entertaining, if not always entirely succesful
 
I watched "Closer" last night, and I have to say I wasn't impressed, mostly because I thought all the characters (with maybe the exception of the Natlie Portman one) were totally awful people who deserved all they got. Or was that the point :confused:
 
The Amityville Horror (the one made in 2005)

...it was alright actually....i spent a few times peeking though either mine or someone elses fingers...so it must have been a little bit scary :p....
 
Yeah, i thought it was shit and avoided it, then watched one by accident and got hooked - if is was British it would be lauded to the heavens.
 
Pie Face had never seen SW9 so we watched that. we only meant to watch the first few minutes, but a morbid fascination to watch the whole thing took us over again.. it's SUCH a missed opportunity, but ultimately shit. despite the best efforts of various urbanites ;)

then we watched a version of Ichii The Killer that was such a bad bootleg we gave in.

THEN we watched The Last Picture Show, which is still on my my top five movies ever :)
 
the major problem with SW9 (apart from the fack it was shit) was the fack a good 70% or it was film in places i can see from my froont door step and indeed did see them filming it ... sorta finally removes the last level of suspention of disbelife
 
finished off my missed episodes of Extra's (that Kate Winslett one, very good :)) & then 'accidentally' watched 6 episodes of Season 5 of the West Wing - accidentally cos I' meant to be waiting to watchit iwth mrs b, but she was away, and it'll take us ages to get round to it,so.....
 
City of Lost Souls. The sub titling was absolutely chronic. Don't never whether I've got a dud copy or what, but even the disk itself was plain.

Shower - brilliant film and lovable characters.

Shiri - good action-packed film but if you want a film about North/South Korea, JSA's much better

1. SW9 does suck. (Sorry to the co-writer who I think is on these very boards)

B. Last Picture Show is a wickid film.

iii. I watched Paul Haggis' film 'Crash' last night. Its very contrived but I couldn't help but like it as it had some really classic cinematic moments in it. One question though, the bullets that the shop keepers daughter bought, were they blanks?
