What movie did you watch last night? (22 Viewers)

[7 - No tomorrow]

Inside Llewyn Davis - one of the Coens' shaggy dog stories.. The storyline is slight, just a string of incidents over several days in the life of a guy at a particularly low ebb. The main character is a bit of a dickhead, a frustrated artist mooching off the same people he looks down on, but you get a rounded enough portrayal of him that it doesn't feel like the misanthropy that the Coens can slip into sometimes. The early '60s NYC folk scene setting feels well observed and the music performance scenes are good. I'd put it somewhere in the upper mid tier of their stuff.

What did you make of the Mobius strip ending?

A Field in England. It was trippy.

It's a bit like that Flann O Brien quote about hell being circular in nature.. He's trapped himself through his bad decisions, his treatment of people and his artistic aloofness in this sort of nether existence which will keep repeating until he makes a decision one way or another to break out of it.

Are we really discussing a film that isn't out in the cinema here yet?
Poor form.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Sorry. I saw it in November. I am not up on Irish release dates.

Poor form.

Yeah sorry, I saw a trans-Atlantic showing. It's out in Ireland in 9 days apparently.. I don't think it's really a film that you can 'spoil' as such, if that matters.

12 Years A Slave.

You would want to be made of granite if that film didn't move you. Fassbender is unbelievably good in it.

I saw about ten minutes of it, I really felt like I should have been holding a playstation controller while it was on.

And straight the recruiting station afterwards. USA!

My biggest problem with it is why the fuck would any sentient life form want to take over LA of any place on earth?

They'll need a agent, to help the domination process.

Their warp drives are powered by silicone.

The Ringer was on telly last night. Johnny Knoxville pretends to be special needs to get into the Olympics or some shit. I managed about 5 minutes, then I smashed my own head in with a hammer. I've seen worse ideas. Or have I?

The new Jason Bateman movie has a similar pretext

I appear to be made of granite

 

[Hector Grey]

ACTUALLY, HOLD ON. Sex In The City 2 was the worst idea of all time. The Ringer looks like <insert perennial classic here> by comparison.

Seriously, that movie deserves a thesis of abuse.

Go easy on yourself. You're just a common or garden racist.

Well, there is also the Spanish basketball team that won the special Olympics a few years ago. Fact is stranger than fiction.
