What movie did you watch last night? (12 Viewers)

[nofriendo]

watched this last night:

absolute horseshit. every single scene is "dealing with racism". the acting is as sludge as the role call would suggest (fraser, bullock etc.) in the first half hour every single scene contains the word black. most dialogue is characters reminding people what colour they are. ludacris is the most annoying character in a film ever. can't believe this took best film oscar a few years ago. and the final scene with the girl and her father.........fucking ridiculous.

i still hold it as one of the worst films i have ever seen! top 3 at least

how many films are there called Crash anyway?

You want to reconsider?

Have some courage in your own convictions, boy.

Babel is worse.

Mitchum, I ws thinking about your funny haircut man as a symbol of a twisted sort of morality post.

The impression I got from his first scene was that by winning the coin toss the gas station fella won his life. But in Jones' first scene he says that he'd been murdered. Does that not negate your position somewhat?

I think these two films truly are the only thing on thumped that isn't Thin Lizzy that everyone agrees on

Er, no. 'He has his principles'.

You sure about that?
It's not my recollection.

I think so. The 77 Ford that was burnt out after Chigur killed the first couple of people on screen. Pretty sure Jones said it belonged to the guy who ran the gas station and that he'd been killed. Maybe I'm wrong.

Aren't the two 'linear' murders he mentions, the deputy on the station floor and the guy he took the LTD from?

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I've read the book and seen the movie more than once and I just don't recall any indication of the gas station guy being dead.

I'll defer to you then. I may have misheard what was being said. I might have missed the deputy part and when I heard "station floor" have taken it to mean the petrol station.

Yeah I didn't think he killed the old-timer in the gas station either.
I love that scene btw. I just wanted to applaud the writing. A masterclass in racking up the tension.

It's a great film - I don't remember ever saying otherwise.

...that's why I said you should have courage in your own convictions innit.

You should try reading posts before you reply.

"The assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford" cant quite make up my mind about it great performances by Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck and a stirring score by Warren Ellis and Nick Cave.

It's a slow burner - I wasn't overly impressed leaving the cinema (except for the cinematography and some of the sets/cityscapes) but I'm dying to see it again.

bought the very bare bones region 1 edition, should have held out for the region 2 (2 disc edition) will definitely watch it again soon, im sure my appreciation for it will grow. it is definitely one very unconventional western, probably the most character driven of the genre (not that i have seen every western mind)

also watched "Profondo Rosso" which has some very ropey acting, ill suiting music cues by the mighty Goblin, and a few imaginative killings.
