Official Film Discussion and Last Movie You Watched

[Rocky]

I saw Eastern Promises the other night. It's not as great as everybody is claiming, but it's pretty good. I don't think paying $8 and seeing Viggo Mortensons dick is worth it though.

Wasn't his cock on screen long enough for you?

 

[FuManChu]

I've bought Heavy Metal on DVD, and im gonna watch it tonight.

The Wrong Man with Bruce Willis looked really good. I saw the first five minutes, but something went wrong
So im gonna hire it again.

Still one of my top five movies is Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.
Johnny Depp and the bats

 

[Rocky]

^ I watched F & LILV again recently. Gilliam is such an underated director. Shame Brothers Grimm sucked.

 

[FuManChu]

Just finished watching Heavy Metal...
It was all about sex, drugs and violence


For an 80's cartoon, some of the chicks werent bad

[Rocky]

Yeah and they bastardised that on it's inital relase too!
Fortunately with the DVD he's been able to put out the film as he originally intended.

 

[Line]

Yeah, the review I did there was for The Final Cut. Thank God for Criterion.

 

[Rocky]

Criterion always comes up trumps with DVD's - shame they're only Region 1

Good thing I have multi-region.

 

[Rocky]

Transformers 2 being slated for a tentative 26 June 2009 release with Bay and Speilberg back on board.

 

[Line]

I really, really hate Michael Bay.

 

[Rocky]

I really, really hate Michael Bay.

I'm gonna tell him that. He'll get Michael Clark Duncan to duff you up.

 

[Rocky]

Hey Line have you seen 'Confidence'?

Is it any good. I picked it up cheap the other day but haven't watched it yet.

 

[Rocky]

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are negotiatin got feature in the 4th Fast and Furious film.

You just know their careers have obviously panned out the way they wanted...

 

[Rocky]

Warner Bros have got the rights to Terminator. They are going to make 3 films first due out in 2009.

 

[Line]

^^ McG is rumored to be directing the first one.

 

[Rocky]

^I know.

 

[Line]

I watched Miller's Crossing for the first time ever last night and was very impressed, even to the point where I may feel it's better than Fargo. I may rewatch the latter tonight for comparative purposes.

Oh, and I've complied a rough Top 100 list so after some modifications I'll probably end up posting it.

Strange. I just watched Miller's Crossing on monday. I love how the Coen brothers introduce characters. I wouldn't go as far as saying its better than Fargo.

 

[Rocky]

Great movie, but no it isn't better than Fargo. Re-watch Fargo Line.
Wish the Coen's would do a good movie again.

Intolerable Cruelty

 

[Line]

I'm saying it might be better than Fargo, it wasn't a definite. I have seen Fargo several times and it does hold a place in my Top 100 but I'm really not sure what Fargo does better than Miller's Crossing. The latter took me back to a stylistic (yet bloodier) look at older noir films which is why I admire it; similarly to last year's Brick. While the emotional involvement isn't on the same level as that of Fargo that, in a way, is sort of the point.

Anyway Rocky, No Country for Old Men should be awesome.

Also, any Von Trier fans here? I'm going to be watching Manderlay today.
