i am quite quickly getting through the first season of lost , started on monday , now 1/2 way through , going to watch volume 4 dvd tonight

and i think its quite entertaining

 

[Bob_the_lost]

I'm just watching american psycho 2 at the moment, it's not a bit like the first one. Still rather enjoyable, in a rather cheezy, half arsed comedy manner.

 

[machine cat]

I'm quite enjoying my Shamless box set. I don't know why I didn't watch it when it was on TV.

Also got Tora! Tora! Tora! sitting in my living room. Anybody seen it? I'm debating whether or not to watch it tonight.

'Donnie Darko'

I 'HATE' Donnie Darko but I really don't want to get into that right now becuase Darko lovers tend to be quite passionate about it.


What did I watch last night I hear you ask?

Densha Otoko, or 'train man' translated. True story of a geek nerd who met a woman on a train and tries to date her with the help of fellow internet chatroom users on line (the densha otoko forum was printed out as it happened and tuened into a bestselling book). Watched some of the TV series while I was in Japan which I quite liked so thought I would give the film a shot.

Anyway it was bollocks.

The only good bit was after the titles where they replayed the opening scene again but this time with the TV series 'densha' in the nerd role and the film 'densha' as a cool guy who gives him a pat on the back, handing over the batton as it were.

Still bollocks, but better than Donnie 'I'm a complicated teenager so relate to this' Darko.

Plus there is no rabbit girl.
Have you seen the film? It's shit. What I've seen of the TV series was pretty goodish now that I think about it.
Is there a cheepy chinese set anywhere? I don't think it's worth the top dollar that the Jdisks cost.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

nah not seen it and now i'm not gonna bother ... what made the show for me is some of the nice subtle (and unsuble) anime references..

no idea about HK or SongMay disks .... but it you really wanted it i could send you a dvd of the episodes so you could watch it on your computer

I'm pretty sure all my DVD players can. Are they called DIVX rips or something? My DVD players do Jpegs mp3s etc so I think that would be fine.

Just watched The Island.......

A nice sci-fi jaunt that has been Michael bayed within a inch of it's life.

It's a shame because this film should have been more about moral dilemma than irrelevant ridiculous over the top action.

I'm loving it, is the offer of the TV series on dvd still out there? I can provide the blanks.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

yep you can have a copy of what i have

but i really don't think it will run on your dvd player .... it probably needs to havd CCCP downloaded and player on your computer

I'm guessing you know more about computors than me so I will have to take your word for it.
My DVD players have taken me a bit by supprise though and played almost everything I have thown at them. My Ebichu disk was just a download but plays ok but then that was the DVix thing I was talking about before and I have no idea about anything to do with computors.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

some DVD players do play back divix


but i can remeber id this was divix or xvid and what sort of file format

by all means try it on the dvd player but if that doesn't work then use cccp

Sounds like a PM moment. However my computor is the lamest so it might not lend itself to playing DVDs without exploding.

Apocalypse Now... Why did they bother denying that the film had nothing to do with Heart of Darkness?

 

[Juice Terry]

Dogtown and Z-Boys, mid seventies skateboard heaven Jay Adams, Tony Alva, Stacy Peralta, Santa Monica pool riding, Z-Flex and Kryptonics, gets all misty eyed....climbs into loft and digs out 25 year old Z-woody....realises that knees and back don't work properly anymore ...lands on arse

Dead of Alive II.

It reminded me more of a Kitano film and was quite different to DoA.

Bits of it reminded me of Bird People in China as well.

Fucking brilliant film! I can hardly contain myself. I know what you mean about the BPIC as well, I love the sentimental childhood friends stuff.

I love the way that this is absolutely mental espesualy towards the end. If you thought this cranked up the mental from DOA 1 then wait till you see DOA 3, that's got the stupidest ending to any film I have ever seen ever ever ever.

Yokai Daisenso comes to DVD in Feb and the chinese DVD as usual will have english subs.
