Got it.

Thanks.

I was at the one they did here.
They're putting a lot of effort into it. Comes off a little odd.

yeah i know what you mean. secret cinema do similar stuff but they really go all out with props and sets and using professional actors. they had camels walking around alexandra palace at a screening of lawrence of arabia. tickets for those cost a fortune though. http://www.secretcinema.org/

Fascinating documentary about how and why everyone is fucked.

Few gripes though

1. Almost everyone who's in it is basically saying "bankers are a bunch of fuck wits" and the most interesting folks (the ones who fucked us all) unsurprisingly do not give interviews so it's one side pointing out that the other side are complete cunts which is fair enough

except

2. When they finally do get to lay the blame on someone they go at it fairly heavy handedly (Louis Therroux can get away with this cos he's charming everyone else just isn't) although they do deserve it ( for being utter knobs) they're really not the ones you want to get mauled in public.

3. It has the single worst last few frames in cinematic history.


Still it's engaging, fast paced, gives the audience credit for having some intelligence and is occasionally (unintentionally- you'll know what I mean when you see it) absolutely hilarious. worth a look on DVD (for the sake of re-watching a few scenes to keep up, as some of it rips along so quick that I for one found it hard to keep up with the who's who of fucking douchebags) for certain but probably not totally worth €9. Especially since the last few frames make you vomit in your mouth.

Sorry. Picture failed.

Inside Job

That Charles Ferguson did a good doc about the Iraq war didn't he?

Inside Job

saw this last Thursday, i may be being over emotional, but i think it could be the most important film of the last 20 years. it was brilliant. put me in a bad mood for the rest of the night mind trying to get my head around it and figure out how to cope in such a world.

(basically it came down to figuring that our friends from the film do not understand the likes of love, art or nature and instead fill the void in their souls by listening to Simply Red and visiting over priced prozzies.)

No End in Sight

I'm going to rent it during the week I'll let you know how I get on.

I had unbelievably low expectations.

and it still managed to suck so very much.

But what about the message?
Believing in yourself or following your dream or whatever?

"Jack Black is overweight but that's ok because he finds solace inside himself and people like his personality or whatever"


I don't mind these things having generic storylines as long as they do something with it but it didn't even try...

I had a movie marathon yesterday and managed to watch:
The Piano Teacher - v good
Cry Baby - Seen it a milion times, still love it
Benny and Joon - lovely
Clueless - same re:cry baby

A little bit girly in the end

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Paul. Very low-key compared to their other outings, intermittently amusing and plenty of fan boy references. Having Kristen Wiig along helped it for me.

Rango. Unusual and amusing. Top notch animation and a few good laughs.

Adjustment Bureau. Played up the romantic angle more than the Dark City/brainwashing/switcheroo one, which was fine. Cinema was full of women.
If you can buy Blunt and Damon falling for each other, you'll probably like this.

I also watched the director's cut of Leon and loved it all over again.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

The Departed and The Fugitive came on the telly and I couldn't switch them off.

Damn, Alec Baldwin is good in Departed.

LOVE EXPOSURE. 4 hour love story covering such things as religion, family, Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion, three section staffs and upskirt photography. Really good.

I really enjoyed it too- funny, great music

I loved the owl playing the solo on the Mosrite

Would I be right in thinking they used the theme from Django in there more than once?

 

[therealjohnny]

The music is all 'heavily inspired' by classic westerns
