What movie did you watch last night? (17 Viewers)

[nlgbbbblth]

last night watched Nigel Kneale's Murrain.

inbred locals, suspicious old lady who may or may not be a witch, a concerned vet. 1975.

which did you prefer?

or both equally deadly?

still haven't got round to watching Sunset yet.....

 

[Squiggle]

It's difficult to say... they're both so different in many ways. I think Before Sunset though. It's less idealistic, more real, I found it much more moving.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

yes, Before Sunrise has a kind of fragile, almost intangible feel about it - even though it's not particularly far-fetched. Doesn't stop it being a work of genius though.

Both are amazing! But Before Sunrise is very innocent... detached from real life. Before Sunset confronts reality head on... and it's in real-time. It's less idealistic and more mature, in the same way that the characters are.

cool.
I'm almost tempted to start watching Sunset now but I probably wouldn't be able to get up in the morning if I did...

yeah, its one of those movies alright. if you really think about it, theres a lot of crap in the movie, the acting is shite as well, most notably from gabriel byrne "THERES NO FUCKIN COKE ON THIS BOAT!" & stephen baldwin.
even the twist at the end isnt really that great.

Keyser Soze is Pete Postlethwaite. Now look at it again and see if the twist is not that great.

Prepare to be surprised.

There are depths to that movie....

Before Sunset is like being trapped watching 2 people you don't know have an annoying and largely boring conversation. Really thought it was terrible. Granted, I didn't see Before Sunrise - but I can't imagine that would have made me like either of them or be particularly interested in their relationship.

anyway...

I think Before Sunrise is one of those films that you have to see when you're kinda young and less cynical.
I reckon if I saw it for the first time now I'd be throwing things at the TV.

watched the pilot of Dempsey and Makepeace - 'Armed And Extremely Dangerous'.

Riveting.

 

[classic seanc]

I saw Stranger than Fiction.

All the lads really liked it, all the girls thought it was shite. hmmmm.

Talladega Nights

bad santa..fell asleep about half an hour in!

 

[nlgbbbblth]

The Knowledge.

Quite patchy but not bad.

 

[Diddles]

High Anxiety - never seen it beofre. Deadddly!

All The Kings Men

a bit hard to follow at times. felt like it had been heavily cut in places, lots of blanks to be filled in and stuff, and the accents didn't help.

pretty good though.

Little Children
(don't read the first user comment - it contains way too much plot spoilering.)

Yeah this was fairly good alright, although it has a rather odd voiceover for around the first and last thirds. Jackie Earle Haley was in it (giving a great performance) & All The Kings Men, what i watched earlier. An odd coincidence.
