[zebra heart attack]

I've a lotta time for the old wolverine I have to say!

Whats the Fountain about then?

darren aronofsky's new one. you're better off not knowing anything about it before going to see it, then being very confused for a while, until half way through the movie, when you think 'oh yeah'. worked for me.

i can't wait to see Rocky Balboa on friday

the fountain.

very very good, which is amazing considering hugh jackman plays a central role.

is that out yet? thought that was destined to stay in released limbo for ages.
looks amazing.

i had hugh jackman written off till i saw the prestige.

is that out yet? .

I went to see 'Images', which was on in the ifi last night.

One of the worst films I have ever seen. Ever. Pretentious, contrived, ridiculous. Embarrassingly bad. And boring.

A complete Nic Roeg rip-off. Robert Altman (r.i.p) should have kept his "dreams" in the bedroom.

Susannah York was there for a chat afterwards, but I couldn't bear any more.

Sounds like a plan - heck I forgot he was in The Prestige and very good in it too...almost as good as young lord David of Bowie knife

wow

I like Images.
What was the vibe like from the audience, or did you hear people's comments afterwards.

Three Women is a later Altman movie that gets mixed views but is cool I think. 1977.

I was pulling some incredulous faces. There was a reasonable crowd. I think people were excited about a 'name' actress being there, particularily for a Q & A. No-one really left straight away apart from me. These Irish archival screenings have provided some right stinkers. Under the same monthly thing I also saw another one of the worst films ever - 'Quackser Fortune has a cousin in the Bronx', a serious cringe-fest.

I actually enjoyed one of Altman's most reviled films - 'the Company'. I wasn't expecting it to be any good and was pleasantly surprised.

I went to see 'Key Largo' last night. Excellent. James G Robinson, brilliant as the insecure tyrannical gangster.

thats one of my dads favourite films! is it available? he saw it back in the day and found it hilarious...gene wilder yeah?

last night me saw....

not as good as the devils rejects but karen black was good in it - (she seems complelely cookoo in real life to in the easy riders/ragings bulls doc....)

and this....

good use of godspeed. hadn't seen it in years....was alright....

they're making a sequel apparently - 28 weeks later -" the plot will revolve around the idea of the United States of America arriving about six months after the incidents in the original film and attempting to revitalize an empty Britain. The cast of the original film are being reported as not returning for this film."

I'll be going seeing Apocalypto in the cinema tonight.. Also have Saw III and Rocky Balboa waiting for me to watch on the laptop.

watched this last night again, I love it I do:

Definately my favourite director of all time

Hopefully they have destroyed all remaining evidence of it's existence.
Gene Wilder's Oirish accent is one of the worst things ever heard in a film. And it's heard a lot. Utter drivel. That old dear David Kelly is in it, in a pub of course. He seems fairly disgruntled in it. But work is work. Or was, as the case went.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

David Kelly popped up as a hard man in an episode of ITC's The Adventurer. 1973.

Bit jarring.

holy shit! that film sounds amazing.

just watched the squid & the whale there.
gorgeous film, dysfunctional family unit that wear nike runners with jeans, preppy shirts with corded blazer. set in 1980's manhattan complete with a pugeot 505 and a long haired william baldwin.
it was short as well which pleased me.

the musical segments in the film are amazing! esp when they find the first body and it goes all 80's. def one of takashi miike's best.

 

[Gambra]

I love it because its so completely off the wall, I would recomend anyone to go pick it up if they can. I got it cheap in Chartbusters here in Limerick, they were selling off all their Tartan DVD's for next to nothing. I still have to watch The Yes Men and Palindromes.

If anyone doesn't have a clue who Takashi Miike is, just go rent/buy/steal whatever this film:

The most fucked up film of all time.


I did go see Apocalypto too last night and i thought was actually brilliant. really wasn't expecting it to be so good!
