[VisualFallacy]

If I'm still alive and dont get murdered on my way home from rachels I will indeed tell you! If she doesnt cancel on me that is! she's got a big job interview tomorrow so she might ring me up and moan about not having time! ra ra ra! Women!

Why don't you just be cheeky and stay the night!

[VisualFallacy]

Because shes got her interview in the morning and I have to go to work! As much as I always bum at rache's I dont want to impose, even if it does mean be being slaughtered by jigsaw! As long as its not the jaw breaking head trap thing I dont care!! That bit freaked me out SO much in the first film..and I know its in the second so dont start on how much Im going to be scared!!

Well I 'saw' it!!

Where shall I begin???? Well for starters I didnt think it was scary in the SLIGHTEST... seriously...where were the suspense and the jumps and the what not? The only time I jumped was when the black dude came up to one of the girls (cant remember which)

I wanted to stab the beefy dude in the neck from the word go!

Oh and I didnt understand WHY obi died so quickly.

I did NOT LIKE the needle scene...in fact there were way too many needles in the whole thing for my liking!! I also DID NOT LIKE the bit with the brunette woman and the wrist...eeep! It was the sound of the metal...eurgh!

I figured out most of it by about an hour in... (It was totally given away all the way through) and thought there still might be a chance I'd get away without seeing the pig head... but OH NO!! I wasnt pleased about that!

Oh and when did amanda get fit? whats that about?!

What about the guy that had to cut the key out from behind his eye?? EEWWWWWWW!!! The worst bit I think :(

The beefy guy was a cunt for pushing the that girl in the needle pit :mad: He should've done it.

[VisualFallacy]

I couldnt believe it when he pushed her in either!! Ross who was with me and Rache was all "I'd be able to do that easy peasy.... why are people scared of a needle pit?" me and rache went off on one and then remembered that he's a diabetic and injects himself every day!!

I didnt even think the eye bit was that bad... you didnt really see that much!! All the gory bits happened too quickly.

[staddsy]

I hate the eye bit, but then I have a thing about eyes and people cutting them :( Eeewwwwww.

I felt sorry for the guy that looked through the peep hole on the door too...BANG!!!! :eek:

[VisualFallacy]

I'd have hated it had you really seen much of it at all. I wondered what would have happened had he tried to use the key in the door but not looked through the peep hole?!

I did say it's not as good as SAW!

one question though who's Obi? haven't seen it since the cinema!

is that the guy with the Hoody?

dOc

[staddsy]

Obi was the guy that climbed inside the huge oven to get the antidotes.

[VisualFallacy]

Ive been talking to Jo at work about this and she reckons he was all burnt up, I thought it was just his legs! I dont understand why he died within 10 seconds!

[MaD dOctoR]

Obi was the guy that climbed inside the huge oven to get the antidotes.
cheers that's the one I thought it was!

and yes the big dude needed to be killed in the first scene! he was too annoying, and throwing Shawnee into the pit is unforgiveable, I'd have nudged him in to. the Bastard!

dOc

[staddsy]

Ive been talking to Jo at work about this and she reckons he was all burnt up, I thought it was just his legs! I dont understand why he died within 10 seconds!

I reckon it was because he got so freaked out that he was going to be burnt alive that it was probably the shock that killed him too. Imagine being trapped inside an oven when it's lit, fucking horrible :(

[jimmyjamjar]

Try not to spoil the film tooooooo much guys I haven't seen it yet!

"Silent Hill" and it was fucking AWESOME...so amazing in fact : that I'm going to see it again tonight. :D :D :D :D

[VisualFallacy]

*jealousy running through her veins*

[rewak]

Im going to see Silent Hill in about, oh, 3 hours

[vespertine]

Well, I really really enjoyed it. As a huge "Silent Hill" fan : I think that they did the game(s) justice. You'll notice so many details from the first game!!

It starts off a little wonky but once it got going : I was riveted. Wouldn't change anything, apart from the music in some places. Akira Yamaoka's work is used throughout. :D They used the perfect song for the closing credits! It was bliss - hearing it blasting in the cinema.

Now I just need to try and get the boyfriend to come and see it with me. He doesn't like the sound of it : he thinks that it sounds too scary. The last twenty minutes were minging but that was about it...

[LAnights]

i watched the queens sister on channel 4 last night as i was bored with nobody to play with but im going to see silent hill tonight, yay :D

Isn't it just?! When Rose when into the "depths of hell" it gave me chills! The film had so many little details : that brought a smile to my face.

It's just totally reinvigorated in my love for the games...not that I didn't love them in the first place!! Gonna (hopefully) see it today again, with the boyfriend - then swing past a gameshop and pick up "The Silent Hill Collection".

I already have them all but whatever. :D

[rewak]

Im going to see it again in about an hour! First film i'll have seen more than once in the cinema.

[jtram01]

Silent Hill was good, never played the games, but the ending confused me. Were they dead? Or what?

[MaD dOctoR]

I haven't seen it yet, but the ending (Which you've just ruined.....just kidding I was expecting that type of thing anyway)

In the games, at the end you are meant to make up your own mind as to whats happened (There are several different endings in each game)

but without seeing the film myself I can't really comment on it, just to say it'll be whatever you believe to be true. they were dead when they got to silent hill, or they all live happily ever after.............

i thought silent hill was rubbish, and quenny have you not yet learnt to avoid anything with will smith in it like the plague? how slow are you??!! :p

[setsuno]

Well, I eventually watched Saw II entirely (had to take a nap after the first scene, then I had no time...)

Anyway I must say I was veeeery disappointed! I much prefer the 1st one.

I don't know, bad acting or writing... don't know who to blame... don't.. want.. to... think...

[TremblingStar]

Just saw 'Spirited Away' and loved it. It's a real shame that British kids aren't really aware of it and it's more of a 'cool adult' thing. I would have loved this as a nipper, more than 'Ice Age' anyway - which I saw the other day and was rubbish.

I know there are a lor of anime fans on here, can anybody recommend me any other good Studio Ghibli film, considering that loads of them are a fiver in Fopp at the mo?

Not sure if its Studio Ghibli but there is a manga film called Perfect Blue which is quite good. Its a bit wierd and unsettling which I lurve!!!

[VisualFallacy]

1) I love spirited away! Its fabulous! But the pigs and the no face scare me. My sister is a big collecter... what others have I seen (sorry but I dunno who does what ie no idea if they're studio ghibli) Howl's moving castle... porco rosso, castle in the sky... they're all good! Theres kiki's delivery service,but that bored me a bit!

2) Setsuno.. totally in agreement about SawII!! I wasnt even a little bit scared... I only got shaken getting into my car after because it reminded me of the scary bits from the first one!

[Peter Jeffery]

I notice that this thread has almost exactly 10 times as many viewings as replies. I wonder whether that is a record for a long running thread. (What are you listening to now has about 8 times as many viewings as replies)

This is my favorite manga ever... The music is great (well, let's not mention the cheesy songs... and focus on the original score) and the atmosphere is very... dunno, maybe Hitchcock-like...

very confusing too

yeah it just looked like any movie released only in videoclubs... you know what I mean?

Yeah I know what you mean bout the cheesy music, the english dub is also really bad and loads of plotholes but I like imperfect things, kinda adds to my enjoyment in a wierd way!

I thought the same, there was no suspense... you didnt have time to bond with the police man cuz you didnt know anything about his background... or any of the characters backgrounds really...so you didnt care whether he died or not... I didnt even care if his son died! It was really poor... not scary in the slightest. I REALLY liked the first one, as a general movie it wasnt all that but it had things in it that scare the shit out of me so thats why I loved it... puppets... people creeping around wearing masks... ew! I cant believe it was such a let down! I shouldnt have hyped it up so much in my head.

[FightMe]

Silent Hill....err...wouldnt bother seeing it unless you are really desperate to get out of the house (and when i say desperate to get out of the house we are talking house burning down around you, boredom is no excuse to see this movie.)

[jimmyjamjar]

Watched Crash last night - it's all about race in America and it's a great film. Thandie Newton's stuff was amazing especially when she's in the burning car and Matt Dillon who previously had molested her, tries to rescue her.

I quite like the other crash as well (David Cronenburg's), but the part where he f*cks the gaping wound in her leg was a bit much.

I mean, you wouldn't would you? Whats wrong with her lady-pocket?

Yes well I saw the gash shagging bit and it put me RIGHT off the rest of the film... ohhh the memories... it was so wrong!

Watched Ed Wood last night. I'd seen it before, but just bought the DVD in one of those 3 for £10 deals the shops do. Love it, especially Bela, Bunny, Cresswell, Vampira and Ed's other assorted friends. And I love when Sarah Jessica parker's character says ’Do I really have a face like a horse?‘

Some of the extras are good too - there's one, appropriately enough for the GMB, called ‘The Theremin’, 'cause they used one for a lot of the cool music soundtrack in the film. Their one was a bit less phallic than Alison's though!

The Alibi - Steve Coogan and Rebecca Romijn Stamos, hmmmm odd film, but gets better, quite watchable......but not brilliant....so don't expect much! and it's quite predictable....but eh! what film isn't these days?

WAR OF THE WORLDS - Is there a scene in this film that doesn'thave Tom Cruise in? but it's O................K not amazing or anything, in parts quite boring, but I do like the new Tripods (Not as scary as I remember them being though!)

Almost Famous - I remember seeing this at the pictures, me and My mate went up to see something else, but it was delayed till the following week, so we both didn't want to leave without seeing a film, so the only one we hadn't seen was this......and I have to say we were pleasantly suprised, it's a great film, not in your face like so many other's, and Jason Lee (Mallrats, My Name Is Earl) is funny as well as the rest of the cast, plus Kate Hudson mmmmmmmmmm.....think it was on ITV3 or 4 the other night)

Going to the cinema tonight but me and my boyf cant decide between Slither and Silent Hill. Which one would go better after a curry? Hmmmmmm....

[MaD dOctoR]

Saw Silent Hill today finally, And I'm so glad I did

Well lets start off by saying that I was near to killing the people at the back of the cinema (The Chav Type of course) who just seem to go to the cinema to make other people angry......but after a swift turn and a "Shut The Fuck Up Or I'll Kill You" Look all was good......again.

:PLEASE DON'T READ: If You Haven't Seen It Yet....I'll try to not spoil it for you but just incase I say something. DON'T READ IT:

So to the Film, well all I can say is that they definately got the otherworld near to perfection, took me back to the first time I played SH on the PS1 and the first otherworld scene was great......if you played the first game you'll know what I mean! I do however feel that Alessa's speech could have been shorter (Or dare I say it, cut, as it wasn't needed....) as with the games, the film does not need to be explained in detail, it's your own feelings of what is going on, that counts! some people will get it.....others won't! And Pyramid Head was excellently brought to life on the Big Screen, I think Anna may need a new skin! that fucking Knife.....I'd love to see the size of the bread he butters with it. But I'm certain that there were things cut from the film, Plus all the way through I could see the orange cue dots (Or whatever they are called) probably a fault of the projector though!







Great Film! Go See it!

I was first shown this film in High School (by Vela Gobel in her Media class, if memory serves). Saw it again in college. But seeing it again it amazed me just how brief the 'gory' bits were. Still this is one film that would be mandatory watching on my list of things to see. Not just because it makes an almost perfect brief on the Shoah; it is an almost perfectly formed bullet of fact, archive, and memoir (the writer, Jean Cayrol, was a survivour of the camps).

...and this you must know...

Heartlands

A british movie from 2002 that my mate got out of a bargin bin. I knew nothing about this film but it was really good.

It stars the excellent Michael Sheen (last playing Kenneth Williams and Tony Blair) and is the excellent Mark Addy (Full Monty). It's about a (sheltered) northen guy who runs newsagent and goes on a road trip (on a Honda 50cc :D) to Blackpool (The Las Vegas of the North) after his darts captain runs off with his wife! It's like Full Monty/Brassed off in some ways, i.e. funny and easy going, feel good, (er... some of same actors) ...BUT it's alot darker, has better Yorkshire accents (infact 'all rate' is proabably the catchphrase of the film) and a slightly more sureal atmosphere ...and it's better!! As a South Yorkshire bloke i'd think this film is a better than those other 2.

Has anyone else seen it???

Last film I saw, and thank fook I didn't pay, was the new war of the worlds. What a pile of old shite. It just left me feeling ripped off and angry after all the hype. Why doesn't someone make a film of that and stick to what's written in the bloody book.

Haven't seen it. But when I heard about the invaders riding down to earth on lighting bolts, I had to think of 'Chubby Rain':D

Haven't seen Bowfinger, either. But I use what I can.

The last movie I saw was 'Dumplings'
A Chinese short (there is also a long version of 91 minutes) from Three Extremes. Highly reccomended. Cinematography is beautiful (Christopher Doyle shot it).
We saw the long version at Cinemasia in Amsterdam where we actually met and went out with Chinese superstar Bai Ling (also in Sky Captain!).

Yep! I've seen the long version when i was in NZ. Bai Ling's good in it (and v. attractive :)) and the film is quite well shot but it does make you feel sick and uncomfortable. The cinema was very quiet after it finished i can tell you. :eek:

All i can say is pregnent women DO NOT go and see this film. I couldn't eat Wun-Tung Soup for months.

Chinatown with Jack Nicholas and Faye Dunaway. At times Alison reminds me an awful lot of Faye Dunaway in this film.

You know what they did at Cinemasia? They had Bai serve dumplings before the movie (she and the movie were relatively unknown here). Let me tell you that more than a few people left their chairs during the movie :-) I thought that was funny! Having seen the short version myself I declined the dumplings (needless to say).

Saw again the other night - great film, but puts you off rare meat somewhat afterwards......

'Three Extremes' is excellent, though I'm yet to catch the full version of 'Dumplings'. Not sure I could :p

'Box' is my favourite though, creeps me out soooooo much. So much stillness and mood work......

Actually Dumplings is my favorite :-)
The long version has more info on the husband, a VERY different ending, and more twists along the way that are not in the original. Honestly I prefer the ending of the short. But there is more character development in the 91 minute version.
I can make an MP4 version? It should be ready tomorrow.

That was in Amsterdam yeah. (I live there). Dumplings opened the festival so they flew Bai in. I actually met her, talked to her about her movies for well over 45 minutes (she took time for all her fans even though she was jetlagged and just flew in) and then she asked us out for a few drinks. Very nice woman! Very intelligent too. No really!

I sacked off Step last night and me and rachel had a night in with dinner and a dvd.. unfortunately the dvd of (her) choice was Bride and Prejudice!

Now, as a BIG colin firth/ Jennifer Ehle fan, I was not amused in the slightest... I didnt understand why people kept singing AND there was no one fit in it (Lahki was prob the best of the bunch!) the only thing that kept me going was seeing how they connected the film to the original story. Rachel told me off for ruining it by 'summing up' pride and prejudice! I said dont worry rache, the film was ruined way before that!!

I basically never watch films but I recently thought I would be really good and force myself to watch a couple so I picked up a couple of cheap DVDs: Vera Drake and It's All Gone Pete Tong. I thought both were good.

Last film I saw at the cinema was The Fokkers which was basically a waste of a couple of hours that I could have been in the pub. One of the best films I've ever seen was Team America World Police. Saw that at the cinema and if cinema was always that good I'd be there all the time.

"We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!"

Brick - seen it twice now. Loved it, it's like a teen high school movie, but with film noir-style terminology when the teens are speaking. It's got the kid from Third Rock From The Sun (Joseph Gordon Levitt) and the kid from Witness (Lukas Haas), both all grown up now in it, and Claire from Lost (Emilie De Ravin), and it's about a guy whose ex who he's still in love with goes missing and he tries to investigate why. It's really atmospheric, quite tragic in parts, but with a couple of really funny scenes too.

I think it's just a coincidence that the character's name is similar to the actress' name, although I think it's spelt differently (Emily as opposed to Emilie). The other girl in it, Nora Zehetner, is really good too.

I would say give it a miss. I had a friend down for the weekend and we went to the cinema because of the shit weather but I wish I'd stayed outside in the rain. I thought the story was absolute drivel and the acting is the standard of a low-budget soap. With trailers and everything it drags on for the best part of three hours and it was as if the cinema was a punishment cell.

And to our non-UK friends let me just say that despite what you see in this film, there are not really that many red telephone boxes and red pillar-boxes on the streets of London. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't see that film because I instinctively pick holes in anything with a historical basis. I'd ruin it for everyone around to be honest so I'd be better off not seeing the end product. *rolls eyes*

It would be amazing to have loads of featurettes and documentaries. Especially some of the rare stuff - "Lost Memories..." and whatnot.

"X-Men 3" and I don't exactly know how I feel about it. It just seemed to go by so quickly - as if they were rushing to get from bit to bit.

For some reason the show before us was running late. So, five minutes before ours was due to start : we went in and grabbed our seats - even though the credits were still rolling. Glad we did now since we got to see the thirty-odd seconds of film at the very end.

Apparently it's seven minutes worth of credits to wait through. :|

Oh and I have become a paedophile...because I fancied the girl playing Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) who I just looked up and she's 15... so WRONG! Damn these young girls and their attractive ways...damn them to hell. she's in hard candy as well (which references Goldfrapp actually...so my friend tells me) and I really want to see that (I did before I found out she was in it!)... a nice dark film about her meeting this 30 year old from the internet... he tells her to come back to hers as he has a rare goldfrapp bootleg or something (like I said, so my friend tells me!)

Oh and Rebecca Romijn is still wonderful as well.. and you get to see her out her mystique costume... mmmh

Can you tell what kind of mood I'm in today?! hahaha! women women everywhere... not good that I'm going out and getting very...very...drunk tonight! *evil laughter*

Went to see Poseidon. Not bad, havent seen the original though so i couldnt compare the two. Didnt think it would be my thing but i ended up enjoying it in the end.

Went to see The Omen when it came out on the 6th and was really pleasantly surprised its actually quite a good remake. Being a big fan of the original I was prepared to go in there and sit through two hours of utter drivel as is the norm with this recent surge of horror rehashes. However the style of the film is very true to the 70s horror genre which i liked and the acting was spot on too. The one sullen expression the little boy who played Damien kept on his face through the entire movie did start to grate toward the end though.

[Neo-Noir]

Went to a preview of the new Pedro Almodóvar movie, Volver. Really good - a bit of a return to hsi older, more female-centred films, and it has Carmen Maura, who he hasn't worked with for years, in it. I was surprised how old she looks now though. Penélope Cruz is the lead, and I thought she was great. It's weird, I don't like her in Hollywood films, but in Spanish films I really like her. I guess it's easier to give a good performance in ytour first language.

Saw X-Men 3 the other day too - disappointing.

[VisualFallacy]

OH my god I've only just seen my drunk posts in here! hahahahahaahah! How embarrassing! I cant believe I didnt know they were there!!

Anyway I watched the sweetest thing on Wednesday because I was feeling rotten and had to laugh at something.. selma blairs attempt at acting seemed like an easy solution to my problem!

I watched X-2 again hehe,I love this movie but x-2 is my favorite.

Went to a screening of The Notorious Bettie Page, about the 50s bondage pin-up. I liked it a lot. Gretchen Mol, the lead, does a good job playing Bettie, who retained her sunny and wholesome southern attitude amongst all the fetish photography and some of the traumas she went through, and it really evokes the 50s well - parts of it are in noir-ish black and white, and others in kitschy 50s technicolour. The recreations of the shoots are really funny.

'Big Wet Asses 7'

'Madonna - I'm Going To Sell You a Product' - a faaaaaaaaaaaaaar more accurate title surely?

I keep tring to watch 40 year old virgin, but keep falling asleep - i've tried twice now so I can only come to the conclusion thats its rubbish and give up I reckon:confused:

to be honest I thought that looked crap and avoided it, but then I thought anchorman would be crap, too and it is pure liquid wonderment!

[Neo-Noir]

looking forward to seeing that - would you recommend seeing??

I thought so, yeah. Quite indie in its cast and general feel, but likeably so and stylish. Gretchen Mol, the lead actress, is good. It's quite short (only 91 minutes), and although some of it seems to be a little shorthanded (she has a marriage that lasts all of two scenes), it's very watchable.

[TremblingStar]

I'm just about to settle down to 'Igby Goes Down' with a nice cup of tea.

[rewak]

Corpse Bride. Very nice film, but i still prefer NBC

[Diamond Black]

Watched DIG the other night, a documentary following the rise and fall of the Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre. Absolutely brilliant!!! Everyone should try and see it!

I watched Eternal Sunshine on wednesday night and before that, Clue! bought that on DVD, hadn't seen it in years, so funny! love it!

I don't do many films but I want to see Hard Candy.

[DanB]

I watched "City Of God" last night,

It's amazing, a bit gory, but still a very good film, odd to think it's a true story.
Truth is usually stranger than fiction :D

[doe_eyes]

Just remembered a truly horrific French horror movie I watched with my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago. It was called High Tension and it was subtitled. Genuinely thrilling and shocking. If you like horror the way it used to be and not the over-hyped, substance-less hollywood bullshit we're fed then check this one out. Also, you will never regard blow jobs in the same light again. Trust me!

[Melantha]

Watched 'Amadeus' on telly last night. Great film.

[MaD dOctoR]

Watched Reeker last night............hmmmm.......a very long way round to tell you what really happened to them......could have been a good film.........

but wasn't! :(

started watching The Pink Panther the other day..............stopped it after about 5 minutes...................

had to watch I'm Gonna Get You Sucka! last night too, I love that film so much......now I need to get CB4 and Fear Of A Black Hat :D

Breakfast on Pluto (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411195/)
a tender and touching film, imo.

[tattmaylor]

The original Solaris (bloody hell, that's a long film!!)

Not sure. It's beautiful to look at. Some of it was really good. It has more story than the new version, but i think that is also a bad thing. It's gets a bit confusing - it's no co-incidence it was called Russia's 2001.

The Soderbergh version is a much more concise film and gets your brain working faster and the Jeremy Davies character is a brilliant addition to the original.

With The Ring, I think the Solaris is a case where a re-make is justified (and better).

Also noticed that nobody smoked once in the entire film, which was interesting.

"Lost in Translation" (again)

Such a wonderfully subtle and restrained film.

A ships-that-pass-in-another-country story, yet handled with grace, flair and a wonderful patience that sits so well again the pace of the country where they are. Heartbraking through humour, yet still warm and fuzzy.
Bill Murray is bloody excellent and Scarlett Johanssen is remarkably assured at 18. The scene where they pass going to/from the pool is the entirety of awkward human emotion in about 90 seconds.

You won't see two people have an affair (yet not have one) with such an undercurrent of pain and guilt so well handled anywhere else. There's a moment where the two are lying on the bed fully clothed talking about where they are in their lives and Murray's hand moves about an inch or so and starts stroking her foot - it's the tiniest movement yet in the scheme of the scene feels almost like an act of unfaithfulness. Astonishingly beautiful.

If you've seen it, watch it again a second time (or more) - it's way better. When the two of them kiss and the Jesus and Mary Chain cuts in......phew, I'm so close to crying every time.

Very. Good. Film.


(It's launch night on the now free FilmFour - few ads, good picture quality and no DOG. Very promising.)

This has got to be one of my all time favorite films. Quite the cerebral flick. Everything is sooo wonderfully restrained, subtle, emotive without being cheesy and just beautiful. The cinematography is absolutely gorgeous. I love Scarlett, she's brilliant in this film. I can see a lot of myself in her character and most guys I talk too say the same about the Bill Murray character.

And a great soundtrack too!

Interstella 5555

For anyone who hasn't even heard of this i really reccomend it! It's the most original thing you've ever seen, combing fine anime by leiji matsumoto with the music from the discovery album by daft punk. It's all over the place on bittorrent sites...not that i am condoning it ...but you probably wouldn't buy it anyway.

[Kiyuri]

Interstella 5555 is indeed love.

Last film I watched was Loaded Weapon 1, with a stupid grin on my face the whole time.

I watched Hedwig and the Angry Inch yesterday, how I love that film. They played a song from it at a club the other night and everyone was singing along to it all but my friends had never ever heard of it so they wanted to know what it was.
