Official Film Discussion and Last Movie You Watched

[MexicanMuscle]

Just saw the science of sleep and i enjoyed it.

 

[Rocky]

I started watching The Silence of the Lambs on Sunday night and watched about half of it. Im very interested in it and the story is great. Too bad it takes me like a week to finish watching a movie Im so busy.

Inexcuseable.

 

[Rocky]

If you have time, watch it again.

Yeah I intend to. There have been a few films that on first watch I wans't overwhelmed with but on 2nd watch have grown on me. Especially considering the basis of this film I could see this being one of those - that comment was my inital opinion.

Borat
Wicker Man (new remake)
Fortress
Ghosts Of Mars

LOL @ rocky. Shakes his head to almost everything but keeps Judge Dredd as a good pick which was a boxoffice flop and rated as a shit film.

lol - I knew either you or Line would pick me up on that one. Yeah, that was a bias inclusion on my part!

Just bought Full Metal Jacket. Haven't actually seen it before.

 

[EvilDumbell]

good movie

I actually felt the same way after my first screening which is why I recommended the second viewing

So I went and saw INLAND EMPIRE again and actually took a notebook with me to jot down recurring themes, lines, and other random notes to try and make sense of the thing (this is the first time I have ever done this). I must say, the film is absolutely amazing. It's so complex, moving, and interesting and feels as if it's much shorter than the three hour run time. It's replaced Children of Men on my list as the second best film from 2006.

Might have to seek this out then. lol at taking a notebook. Did you have a pair of half moon spectacles resting on the tip of your nose for you to peer over at the screen?

Ha, if you watch this film you'll understand why. There won't be a DVD release until over the summer and seeing how it's only been distributed to major US cities by Lynch himself (I have no idea how we got it) you'll likely have to wait until then. As far as comparing it to other Lynch films, I'd say that while it's not as weird a film as Eraserhead it's not nearly as accessible either. Eraserhead has, what I think, are relatively "easy" themes dealing with fertility, sexuality, escapism, and acceptance. Contrastly, INLAND EMPIRE is far more thematically complex and my notes included one page of around 35 intertwined relations between its symbols and another or random notes that outlined the story...and for the record, I print incredibly small.

 

[Rocky]

I like a nice head scratcher.

Not related:

Apparently Galacticus will be represented in the FF2 film as a gianty cloud. How disappointing.

Also the bloke who did the original vboice for Optimus Prime in the Transformers is doing his voice in the movie too!

That you will get...

(Don't worry about spoilers, you won't be able to read 90% of my handwriting)

 

[Rocky]

lol - I can't believe you uploaded your note book!

And you're right I can't read it. That's nearly as bad as my handwriting!

Eh, I'm bored. For the record, it's very hard to write in a dark movie theater with just two pages to work with...I'm currently drawing arrows on the left-hand page in order to sort things chronologically a bit because I organized most of it by theme.

 

[Rocky]

A fine system. I've just started a new trailer thread for new films> Check it out Line and add ones when you come across them!

I'll definitely check it out and add what I can find. Also, I drew some arrows to help orient things

 

[Rocky]

Yep that clears it right up!

i watched 300 this morning, besides some fight scenes and the cool visuals it wasnt really that great of a movie, in my opinion at least
