What movie did you watch last night? (6 Viewers)

[ratmonkey]

The Beast Must Die. Pretty awful cod Scandinavian accent on Peter Cushing, passable enough other than that.

In The Loop and Anvil
Both great.

Anvil was a little hard to watch though, Both uplifting and sad, felt they left out a large chunk though, did anyone from the band actually go into any detail as to why they never hit the big time? maybe the deleted scenes explain a little more about it. i haven't watched them yet.

was it Slash that hypothesised that they were isolated from the music scene because they lived in Canada?

it seems ridiculous now but in the eighties that could well have been a large part of it. this whole segment raised so many questions for me about the world of record discemination in pre-internet age. Flawed but brilliant film making.

Pleasant but generic coming of age 1980s thing with Jesse Eisenberg playing almost the same character he did in The Squid and The Whale (a fair bit more likeable, though). Probably not enough laughs overall but the bittersweet nostalgic atmosphere is nice.

I thought Adventureland was great

 

[therealjohnny]

I liked it too. I feared it might be as smug and loathsome as Juno but thankfully it isn't.

It isn't terribly funny or life changing but it's "nice"

The lead character did a good job of playing Michael Cera playing the lead character

Nerdy mate with the pipe was best

Martin Starr, he's played pretty much the same character since Freaks & Geeks and it has yet to change. He's in a new-ish tv show called Party Down with Lizzy Caplan which is pretty great but no one seems to know about it..

Dear Cormcolash,

go see Gamer. It's basically a completely unneccesary crack fueled 21st century rip off of The Running Man.

Plus Keith David pops up in it for around 3 minutes.



Dear the rest of thumped,

Avoid Away We Go like the plauge. A horrible mess

that's my general rule for those indie-font movies these days.

That makes it sound good though. It's not. Most definitely not.

I wouldn't go see it based on how the yank toss pot pronounces "Gerard" in the trailer. Oh that and it looks like a pile of shit.

 

[ratmonkey]

It certainly is a pile of shit.

 

[Cormcolash]

Yeah sure I saw Gaymer last week sure, it's fairly bollocks. Takes itself too seriously like, not enough heads getting blown up and shit. It could learn from District focking 9.

away we go - it was nice, very enjoyable. annoying soundtrack. and dave eggers stuff usually irritates the bejesus out of me. but the cast in general and the 2 leads in particular made it a good movie.

I thought it was good for the first half. Quite darkly comic but it lost steam around Montreal. Had no clue of the Eggers/Mendes involvement till the credits ran.

Went to see Up the other week there. I bleedin' love pixar. And it was totally amazing. Even better'n Wall E. Yay!

 

[xsteox]

Iglourious basterds. really good. Approved.

 

[washingcattle]

Watched it through a haze of whiskey and coke. So many lols.

Cry did ya?

 

[dudley]

district 9 weren't half bad at all, amazing cgi, and comedy fokks

the incidental nick drakey style music in away we go was appalling, but the pole dance to the VU, with the accompanying heartbreaking story (in montreal) was brilliant.
film in general was a decent laugh. catherine o'hara gets funnier and funnier

 

[Cormcolash]

fooking right
