What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[themonkeyman]

American Pie - Band Camp, watchable and quite funny, and then Wedding Crashers which was pretty good

 

[Reno]

A screener of Terrence Malick's new film The New World. Still making my mind up about it, but for me it's not quite in the same league as his previous three films.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance - not as brutal as Oldboy, more in the emotional vein of Mr V. - and like most Chan-wook Park doesn't go where you think whilst asking some uncomfortable questions about grief/revenge/damage etc

I watched that as well yesterday morning. Got the Korean version so all the extras were in Korean unfortunately. Did you watch the colour version or the one where it morphs into black and white?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Party 7.

Strange Jpanese film.

Really strange.

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

House of Wax, fun enough forgettable teen flick. And Paris Hilton does die in it so that's always a bonus!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Saphire and steel - fell asleap though. It really was a bit rubbish wasn't it, maybe I shouldn't have bought the whole fucking box set.

You didn't?











Poor you

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Memento

Totally lost me 'cos I could hardly hear it as the subtitles didn't work. Only discovered at the end that on the menu there was an option for "hard of hearing"

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Poor you

What buy the box set or falling asleap?

I remember it being really ace and chilling and in a fit of nostalga I bought it cheap from amazon. Some of the adventures last 8 fucking episodes and that doesn't mean they have any more content either, just more standing around and talking noncence (as a 'telelpathic' voice over of course, we wouldn't want the excitement of any lips moving, we can leave that action to he-man).

Yeah, I remember it as well. Joanna Lumley and er, that blondie fellow... McCallum (?). Their eyes went bright blue or something. That's about all I can remember

I remember the last one quite vividly as it was a really dark ending where they lost and were trapped for everrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

But adventure one???? WTF how did they get more made after that drivel? It does have comedy appeal at least I suppose.

There are some great bits like when pillows on strings or umbrellas attack but essentially the script can go anywhere and anything can be a solution because we don't know who the fuck these people are and what the fuck they are doing.

exactly Luckily I can't remember half the episodes

Only just noticed this.

I've had this on the shelf since the 4th but haven't got round to watching it yet. Everyone says to watch the B&W one first so I think I will do that.

Apparently we are the lucky ones as the first DVD is now sold out and there might not be anymore fade to B&W versions made. Someone said that there was only a run of 2000 made but that can't be right surely.

Have you seen any other Park Chan Wook? I have only seen the vengence trilogy ones JSA and the one on the three extreames. So far all have been really good so maybe I should try a few more.

Disappointed that all the extras weren't subtitled though

Nope, only the trilogy ones and JSA. Haven't seen Three Extremes or anything else.

Have you seen The Quiet Family? When the families were sitting waiting their turn, something reminded me of The Quiet Family. Same kind of dark humour I suppose

Here's IMDB list of Park Chan Wook's work

I haven't seen the quiet family only Katakurike no kofuku and I heard the origonal was a bit duff so I never botherd. Korean wise I love Kim ki duks stuff, 3 iron was ace, some of his stuff disturbs me a little but is aways beautiful.

I ordered that one with my lady vengence but haven't watched it yet. 3 iron is my favorate and not dark like some of the others.

I've not met anyone who didn't like it, but plenty who initially thought it was slow and just sort of got hypnotised by it

For something totally different, why not take a Shower

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Ohh look we are on page 100.

Doesn't this call for some kind of party?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

The Koreans have been waiting for a Korean film to be on page 100

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

ERROR

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Those pesky Koreans, I speak a bit of Japanese so can get away with watching J films without subs, but somehow I'm always fooled for a second that I can understand the Korean extras too but I can't!!

Intresting language though, I think it's the only one that was actualy commitioned.

Happy new 100 fuckowean readers!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

No, any good?

I picked up a few DVDs while I was over last week but I stupidy didn't get all I wanted.

Neighbour number 13 - (miikes in it) have not watched it yet, lots of blood I expect.
Party 7 - wierd peeping film
Howl - how lovely
Guitar wolf vs the world - I'm even fucking in this one
Ghibli shorts - dissapointing
Oh mikey 4th and 5th - mentalist dummy spin off from Vermillion plesure night.

Should have got -

Otakus in Love - (miikes in it)
Survive 5
Densha Otoko
Waterboys
Game
Vital
The Hazard City (I have the UK disk but the J disk is quite rare and it was semi cheap, I'm a Miike fan so more than one disk of his films is fine with me)

PS you have ruined our minie the minx atomic suplex only page 100 you fucker.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

it was so so ... there were a few intrestin clips but i knew of most of the ones he mentioned and the section on anime was a little odd they had an interveiw with Mamoru Oshii all about ghost in the shell but they never even mentioned Masamune Shirow. and the interview with Hayao Miyazaki was so short as to to be pointless


i have the densha otoko tv series ... it's fairly good and i like the number of in jokes about various anime in it (lots of Keroro Gunso models) and all the diffrent mad people on the net but the love story part of it was a bit shit

really? and what was it based on, Japanese?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Not at all, it's not based on anything, it's just logical (unlike english) it's all those lines an circles hanging off them and shit. I think they use some chinese kanji as well though.
