What are you watching tonight?

[2399]

If I found a PS3 with the emotion engine I'd buy a few Blu Rays.

It'd be cool I'd only have a few blu ray discs, instead of heaps like my dvds

[General Mannerheim]

Machete is fookin ACE!

watching Insidious earlier i contemplated taking up self harming.

Indeed, the year so far has been particularly poor for films.

LF sent me Green Street. Am currently about 15 mins in. Please tell me it gets better than this? I'm bemused why an apparently Australian man is leading an American around East London saying things like, 'let's av sum fun, it's football day'. Fcuking FOOTBALL DAY. What now?

Very understated there William! It's absolutely terrible, that accent oh my word. Dont you think Elijah Wood really pulls off the hoolie look well too? Not.

Watch the rest of it (if you can) then consider that they actually made a sequel... set in an American jail!

Actually, that is true - and hadn't really thought about it until reading this. Has there been anything memorable so far?

At least in English?

Oh. My. I was gripped, in car crash style. That goes high up on the list of worst films I've ever seen. It's a shit film, mawkish sentimentality for a set of shites with one ridiculous 'redeeming act' for a films worth of twattishness. It was painful to watch, they'd clearly tried with the language etc but that sort of thing never works if you do it half arsed. Either go the whole hog and stop throwing in blatant 'explanation set pieces', or leave it out all together. Felt like it was a collaboration between someone trying to explain the hooliganism shite to someone who had NO idea, and someone with no idea trying to make up the hooliganism shite. Some piss funny moments though. The slow music and brooding cigarette scene as he is about to fook off back to America and his ridiculously cruel/dippy/annoying sister says 'No-one back home will care about your rep here'. I also giggled at the slo-mo cock rock guitar over the final fight scene, as distored 'fak off you maaaaaaag' came through.

Mawkish sentimentality for 2D characters who earn absolutely no emotion set in a badly understood outdated context with a halfarsed writing framed by the weirdest 'ring composition' I have ever seen. Harvard drug dealing? The entire film, including the death of the most likeable of a thoroughly unlikeable set of shits is a life lesson for a harvard boy to stand up for himself? Jeez.

Tin pot film about a tin pot club .

How did you like the brave and clever assault on the United fans at Vicadilly Station, set to some Stone Roses background music?!

[Prufrock]

Haha took me a while to 'get' Vicadilly', I only recognised the outside of Victoria. The Stone Roses made me laugh. Quite a lot of it made me laugh actually. I've not seen many worse films, but I've seen plenty have I've laughed less at. I almost enjoyed how shit it was. Painful United accents, from, waht was it, 'the most feared firm in the laaaaaand, United'. Sorry what now. I think I've just been product placement-ed.

Submarine and possibly Source Code are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. I'm not considering the Oscar nominated films, since strictly speaking they were last year's films.

However, this may all change soon with the release of the criminally underrated Terrence Malick's new film The Tree of Life.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Watched Catfish tonight. Was good.

Oh and how the hell is Terrence Malick 'underrated'? He's widely acknowledged (Thin Red Line apart) to be one of the finest directors of his day

[jmjhb]

I agree, but I don't mean critically underrated; his work hasn't had the widespread appeal that he deserves from the quality of his films. Shame he's only done 5 really.

Looking forward to Kung Fu Panda 2, Transformers and the new Planet of the Apes offering.
In English.

I enjoyed it too, before i read all the theories - where do you stand on the fake or not fake issue?

[Lofthouse Lower]

At first I thought it was fake, then I've read on about it and decided it wasn't, but then I thought it a bit more and decided that it was fake.

Just too 'perfect' in terms of how things happened.....

You're so clever, making all those titles up.

[Lofthouse Lower]

The new Transformers looks fantastic, can't wait to see that.
