..that film fucke d me up good..it is the film you are talkin bout?

 

[The Chilli King]

Amazing...
If I had naughty children, I'd punish them by making them watch this.
The first time I saw it, my jaw dropped open about 12 minutes into it and didn't close 'till a good 20 minutes after the film ended.
It's really nasty. and funny. and sad.
But mostly nasty.

Yikey. What's the basic plot?
The last film reccommendation I took from Thumped was Ghost Dogs, which was great.
Is this the type of film that makes you hug yourself and rock after seeing it though?

Plot?!!
It makes you want to kill yourself.

do you mean gummo?

 

[BAD LUNATIC]

Its a movie by Harmony Korine, the kid who wrote 'Kids' and directed the follow up to Gummo, 'Julien Donkey Boy'. Gummo is unreal. Little inbred kids sniffing glue and listening to death metal whilst whipping cats to death. deadly.

that scene made me feel so frickin ill.

and all the cat-killing malarkey?
and the weight-lifting with the spoons?

[Latex lizzie]

..that's the one. Brave scheduling by the guys at tg4, what will the west of Ireland think..oh wait most of the west is like that. mmmmm

Ugghh, I'm feeling strangely compelled to watch this one. It sounds nasty as hell though - is there any reason you would watch it (apart from the kicks of watching a retarded girl getting raped like)? Nice cinematography?

Just on the subject of 'art' films, I saw Morvern Callar the other night - bored out of my nut. Oooh, look, she's working in the supermarket, ooh and a worm just crawled out of a carrot, the meaningfulness, the imagery of corruption. Hey! Get a fucking plot.

 

[Latex lizzie]

..well no real plot in this one either but is way more interesting to watch cause of the shit that does happen in it.and as I said the music is cool too..it's a real love it or hate it kinda film..or a huh? kinda film.( barry Norman watch out) (I don't think!)

On TG4? Hee hee. When?

 

[dudley]

i watched 28 days on sunday, then came home and watched bicentennial man


not sure which was scarier

 

[Ex-User (252)]

anyone ever see an australian movie called 'bad boy bubby'? starts off, this woman, she keeps her son locked in a basement until he's 30 or so, lied to him since he was born that if he went outside the cellar door, he'd die from the poisonous gas outside... she always leaves wearing a gas mask so it's entirely believeable like...
anyhooo, she rides him and everything, telling him he's the best son a mother could have and so on. one day he gets out and the movie is really about what he does then. it's fuckin rappa...

yeah, credit where credit's due - TNaG shows some good stuff. Great French films every Friday night. And Ros Na Run's not bad either.

As for Morvern Callar Pantone, I really thought it was going to be great too. I thought the premise would make for an cool film. Maybe it was and I should only be allowed watch things like xXx. Saw a clip for DD though and it looks tits - looks like there's some nice effects as well.

Oh dear Jesus come on.
Ros Na Run is surely just a tax write-off.

On that note, was in Brogan's last night, and the shady criminal guy from (the other tax write-off) Fair City was in there supping pints. Looking the wrong side of shady.

 

[madouva]

Bicentennial Man is painful. Agonising to watch. It was shown on a flight I was on.

Air rage indeed.
