[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

This looks quite interesting as well

Tetsuo one and two are shit and snake in june looks like bollocks, I can't imagine this being better but it does actualy sound pretty good doesn't it. I'm put off becuase both tetsuo films sounded good but turned out to be utter shit.

I wish I'd picked up a copy while I was in Japan, I've seen it in HMV in the UK since but I have some kind of OCD thing that makes me buy DVDs where possible from their country of origion.

Lucky you that you're able to do that!

Not seen the Tetsuo ones so can't comment

Northern Exposure...

There are many websites.

I think the main reason I do it is because they come out in their country of origin first and are ususaly (apart from japan) cheaper.

Korean, Chinese most of the east before western europe tend to have english subs and I can for the most part get by on J disks, but more and more of those have subs anyway (and the boxes always look cooler).

Dodgeball.

I'd like to find whoever recommended it to me and throw a heavy sports ball at them with a great force behind it! Bloody rubbish. Overwhelmingly. Some of the match commentaries were quite funny.

I really liked it. I wish it had ended with them losing like they pretend in the alt ending extra. That would have been the best ending of a film ever.

I really enjoyed Dodgeball but thought the alternative ending was very odd indeed, especially when on the commentary the director (I think) said it was the ending he wanted but was overruled by the studio. I always wanted to find out more – I even thought that it might be a joke at the viewer's expense – but have never seen it mentioned anywhere else.

The actual ending was truly terrible - even given a more than healthy suspension of disbelief. Odds of 50-1 in a two team match? When the outsiders have already beaten championship wining teams? And to be able to simply buy up more than 50% of a companys publicly quoted stock overnight?

Shite.

Yeah, it's true, but then Hollywood endings aren't exactly renowned for their adherance to little things like reality or common sense. I wanted Vince Vaughn and his team to succeed so was happy to suspend my disbelief to breaking point...

The alternative ending would have set up one hell of a sequel, wouldn't it?

Chungking Express, which I liked a lot. We've been watching good films at school lately. I only have one more week of class left and while I'm not going to miss the lectures or the work, I'm definitely going to miss watching lots of films I would have never seen otherwise.

Can't listen to California Dreaming without thinking of Chungking Express

Last night I watched Ghost World. Isn't Enid The Coolest Thing Ever!

 

[bonjour]

Shaun of the Dead. Just pure class.




You got red on you.

is she? ultimately, i think she's sad and alone and broken. Sitting on the outside being disdainful is fun for a while but ultimately it'll do for you

 

[Orang Utan]

That's what I thought - I lvoed her character cos she was a typical teenaged despite her affectedness. Both her and her friend felt so superior to the rest of the world, yet you know from experience how it eventually wears you down and you learn from it or becoem bitter and twisted.

yeh, she was a stroppy teen who just happened to dress up her tantrum in uber-cool cultural references

 

[Orang Utan]

Didn't we all?

Can I just take this opportunity to apologise for the typos in my previous post?

- sorry, but i've seen it a couple of times on these threads where someone reveals the end of a book or film and it's one of the most annoying things ever!

she's certainly sad, alone and disdainful yes, but she absolutely cracked me up. "oh my god, he's ordering a giant glass of milk.." it's rare that i find anyone who shares my humour though, it has to be said..

she's a typical teenager, in a kind of 'hell is other people' way, though of course most grow out of that. i could relate to her despair at the boringness of human kind though.

 

[Orang Utan]

Yeah, like, totally.

I completely identified with the sitting around and slagging everyone who comes into your line of sight - used to spend all weekend doing that outside my local KFC

 

[Orang Utan]

I don't remember her doing what she does at the end. ??

what's "slagging everyone?"

sounds weird to me.

i love her character, and agree that she's funny and sharp and aware, but i just don't think you can come away from the film still thinking she's cool

Dissing, criticising.

i think maybe you misunderstood me.

I know.

well, that's how I always took it.

I can't even remember how it ends TBH
