Ok tonight I am going to watch Christmas Vacation

 

[Splunk]

I appear to be made of granite

Exactly how many slaves do you own?

 

[Unicron]

I did not like The Wolf Of Wall Street

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Jack Ryan. Initially promising, ultimately boring.

Did you stick it out til the end?

Frost/Nixon. A film of two halves, the first is just ok, I thought they overplayed Nixon a bit and Frost comes across as annoying. Second half is excellent, once the interview process begins it gets really riveting.

Rosemarys baby. Hmmm, good but.... felt like it was lacking something. Maybe an actual look at the devil-child. The ending was a let down.

Haven't seen it yet, but it seems to be seriously dividing people. Heard two five star reviews on the radio on Friday, followed by two 2 star reviews on another station. The negatives all seem to be based around the perceived amorality of glorifying the subject matter. What did you not like about it @Unicron ?

Yeah, I'll always stay.

I generally like this type of thing but Bourne and recent Bonds have raised the standard a good deal.

Even the last Mission Impossible.

Bloated, undeservedly swaggering, and overly long. Referred to it on twitter as a be here now of a Scorcese film. The actors Marty is using for these sorts of movies now aren't close to being as good as when he was doing them 20 years ago.

What about the quaalude scene?

My fucking jaw was on the floor.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

I loved The Wolf of Wall Street. I was laughing my head off throughout. Don't think I've laughed as much at the cinema in recent memory as I did during the quaalude scene. DiCaprio is always great but this is one of his best performances.

Agree with Unicron. Didn't really enjoy it although the scene 7 refers to is stunning. Donald Clarke articulates my thoughts on it much better than I could, nail on the head review for me:

This is one of the best horror movies ever made and my personal favourite. i don't think we needed to see the child. Some things are best left to the imagination. Disagree about the ending, it's perfect. "He has his father's eyes"

I actually fell asleep for about 5 minutes about half-way through the film.

A film about people being horrible to each other 150 years ago. Thing is, people are still being equally horrible to each other today, so I'm not exactly sure what is meant to shock me/move me/whatever here.

Also, yer man can't play violin.

Oh yeah, and Haywire was on TV last night. Still great for the geographically-accurate chase-fight through Dublin city centre, and watching some guards get battered, haha!

The voice dub bothers me

 

[Cormcolash]

Yeah, it's off-putting alright, but like it's a dopey action film, all ya really want to see are some good fight scenes and stuff, and the fight scenes in Haywire are really good for the most part!

I hear so many people say this. Like "We knew this already" or "I learned nothing new"

Meanwhile there are a million Holocaust films every year. There are countless WWII films.
How many Vietnam films are there?

It's racist is what it is. Yis rat fucks.
