Tokolosh, you're the film buff, I thnk you may appreciate the film 2:37.

http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/review/film/s1721967.htm

It was lile a 19 year old guy who wrote and directed the film. He wrote it in a 36 hour stint or whatever, after a failed suicide attempt himself. It's made on a low budget and it's very reminiscent of Gus Van Sants Elephant. But for such a low budget, and an unknown cast, it reaches the heights of Elephant. It's really a powerful film.

I mean, you might not like it, but I think it's a film worth checking out.

hmm i cant remember

contrelefuckingsexisme 01.10.2007 05:17 PM

I think it was "Igby Goes Down" some nights ago at like 4am.
or maybe "Kurt & Courtney" at 6am ( I stayed up till 6am to watch it because I had already watched it but it was a download and I'd rather watch it on the tv once.)
I tried watching "Bully" for the third time in my life last night. But my sister is ALWAYS around when that movie is on. It really bothers me. I think I'll never see it.

Children of Men

I watched The Good Shepard (2005) last night. Found it a little too long (167min), but it has a good cast with a nice slow pace to it.
Worth watching.

ps: Didn't like Angelina Jolie at all. I don't know why, but she always irritates the shit out of me.

Dead-Air 01.16.2007 11:29 AM

Just watched The Quiet Earth, which I realized upon watching I'd seen before a long time ago. A good low budget NZ science fiction flick.

Katy 01.16.2007 11:51 AM

The Elephant Man.

One of my favourite films.

That was a cool series.

EMMAh 01.16.2007 08:24 PM

I watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 a couple days ago and loved it, just as I did the first time I saw it. It's so damn funny haha. Next time I see it I'll buy it if I have the cash.
Then yesterday I watched Land of the Dead. Nothing beats a good zombie movie.
Later tonight I may put on Thank You for Smoking.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 01.16.2007 08:26 PM

With Nicholas Cage. It's a great movie, and hilarious.

That's a great series. Episode 9 is the heaviest of the lot. It's the one where they encounter the first signs of concentration camps.

Watched this last night. Pedro Almodóvar is a genius.
 

jon boy 01.19.2007 05:22 AM

i watched nil by mouth again last night. amazing film.

Savage Clone 01.28.2007 09:54 AM

I would like to see The Nomi Song.

I saw Pan's Labyrinth last night; loved it.

HECKLER SPRAY 01.28.2007 09:54 AM

Lost in Translation. Good film. Now I'm in love with Scarlett Johansson. She's so hot ! My girl wants to kill me...

jon boy 01.28.2007 03:05 PM

watched the grudge 2 again last night but kept my fingers out of my ears. i put them in there if i am scared.

nomadicfollower 01.28.2007 06:38 PM

Eraserhead.
Which is a relief because it was a movie I actually enjoyed.

compulsive diarrhea, jico 01.28.2007 07:14 PM

ALIEN ANAL 01.29.2007 04:38 AM

i really want to watch thw twin peaks series, but its not out on dvd here, and watching things on vhs is hard.

A Thousand Threads 01.29.2007 04:45 AM

i watched Quadrophenia yesterday,
great movie

!@#$%! 01.29.2007 08:41 PM

last movie i saw in a big screen was four sheets to the wind at sundance. great story. the cinematography a little lacking. but i predict we're going to hear a lot about this guy in the future cos he's very young but pretty good.

last dvd movie was the aviator, which i now regret not having seen in a bigscreen because i'm a pigheaded prejudiced fuck. it was a great fucking movie and i didn't want to believe it. well, fuck you too! :D

TheDom 01.29.2007 08:55 PM

nobody's fool & one flew over the cuckoo's nest

hurray! that movie IS fucking awesome.

Norma J 01.30.2007 01:17 AM

We hired out Stoned - the Brian jones story. And another film. Which we will watch the former tonight - looking forward to it.

Tokolosh 01.30.2007 04:20 AM

 


It's actually better than I thought it would be.
Helen Mirren plays the queen superbly, but Michael Sheen's portrayal of Tony Blair, kept reminding me of Jon Culshaw in Dead Ringers. :D
In my opinion, it's well worth watching.

SynthethicalY 01.30.2007 04:32 AM

My boyfriend went to watch The Queen, He liked it. I might go see it.

It was good and I love Matt Dillon.

Pickle Factory boss: Writer huh? Are you sure?
Henry Chinaski: No, I'm not. I'm halfway through a novel.
Pickle Factory boss: What's it about?
Henry Chinaski: Everything.
Pickle Factory boss: It's about... cancer?
Henry Chinaski: Yes.
Pickle Factory boss: How about my wife?
Henry Chinaski: She's in there too.

^ That part was great, but I loved this part too:

Henry Chinaski: If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs. And maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.


factotum is one on my last seen movies too. i was pretty surprised because because i expected something more stupid (it's pretty new movie..) but it kicked ass!

Tokolosh 02.03.2007 04:51 AM

 

Just like Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas is much better in spanish spoken films.
