yeah i laughed a lot at that part.
The soundtrack's great too

Yeah, i saw it on starz and it was really good

aside from the absence of Gambit, Angel's tiny part, and a few other changes from the comic books, i liked X3.

i have to applaud the makers of the movie for including the line "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" my friends and i laughed our asses off. i didn't even think that video was that funny, but including that line was perfect.

Walk the Line

Breakfast On Pluto

The Constant GArdener

are all very good. And I watched "This is Spinal Tap" for the first time. Never knew it would be this funny!

i jsut downloaded breakfast on pluto, havent watched it yet. If its as good as The Butcher Boy I'll be happy

David St. Hubbins: I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem *may* have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being *crushed* by a *dwarf*. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.
Ian Faith: I really think you're just making much too big a thing out of it.
Derek Smalls: Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea.

Just of the stupidly funny lines from the movie. Brilliant film.

Last thing I saw in the cinema was Brick and it was really good. It was directed by a first time director though, not the dude who did Donnie Darko. His new one is called Southland Tales or something like that and it's some crazy musical or somesuch. Could be awful.

Last night I watched Fata Morgana which is the oddest film I've seen for a while and the oddest Werner Herzog film I've seen which is saying something. The first part was a collection of desert images with Lotte Eisner (German film critic lady) reading parts of the Popol Vuh (some Guatemalan creation myth) over the top of. Then more desert stuff later with some people talking about lizards and turtles. Sort of like a precursor to Koyanisquatsi without the obvious environmental message.

I need to start watching good movies. I haven't even seen Citizen Kane or The Godfather yet..

Horse Feathers was on yesterday morning. The Marx Brothers are the best.

The line I like the best in Spinal Tap was something like their drummer died in a tragic 'gardening accident'

gonna see walk the line today

My favorite part will always be

saw the davinci code last night and i concur, it is awful. cringeworthy most of the time and i found myself drifting to sleep at certain moments.

i dont think i can bare to watch united 93, especially with the amount of flying that i do.

you know a cool movie?

school of rock! !! !!!

A brilliant film I thought. As I said before it is pretty horrifying, it definetly made the whole thing more painful especially the last 5 minutes.

i watched that again the other night. it is really good.

'i have been touched by your children and i am pretty sure that i have touched them'.

another drummer died by spontaneous human combustion, haha.

This is Spinal Tap aired on (I think) ifc yesterday.

Guessin that's where you saw it, h8kurdt.

United 93 is the best movie of 2006 so far.

No I'm a Brit, I saw it ages ago at a friends house. Straight after I went out and bought it on dvd.
Have you seen the second one? i'm a bit unsure about watching it to be honest.

I've re-watched 'Almost Famous' 2 days ago.

It's a few years old now, I know, but I finally purchased 24 Hour Party People, the story of Anthony H Wilson, and his two big projects: Factory Records and the Hacienda nightclub. I hadn't watched it previously because I didn't think it would be too good, and I thought it would be hard to capture the spirit of things I really like (ie HAppy Mondays, Hacienda, Anthony H Wilson and Manchester).

It was wondrous, one of the finest movies I've seen in a long time - superb construction and scripting, the whole story told with an adroitness rarely seen in any medium. So good in fact that it made me feel quite emotional, especially when Anthony is talking about how much he loves Manchester because I know what he means - it's a magical city, I only wish I could be there more often than I am (I'm a regular visitor).

The appearances of real people in the film (Anthony H Wilson, Mark E Smith, Paul Ryder and many others) as well as reconstructed and genuine archive footage serves to make it even better. It's a genuinely fascinating document for anyone with any interest in the events concerned.

oh! this thread! i love this thread.

i try to watch a movie a day and some of the most memorable ones in recent times are these:

Jean Pierre Melville: Le Samourai
WHAT A MOVIE!!!!



Francois Truffaut - L'homme qui aimait les femmes (the man who loved women).
awesome screnplay!! fucking great.



and then hm i watched underworld evolution. just ok, except for kate beckinsale's lovely exposed navel, and her vampiric face:



oh! and BATMAN BEGINS, which i started watching reluctantly, surprised me most positively. a masterpiece? no. but a great superhero movie, much like X2. and who directed it? the guy who did MEMENTO. no wonder! no fucking wonder! great job.

saw turtles can fly a few weeks ago. a joint iraq/iran film. amazing stuff. saw die blau engle last week and angel heart again and this week i watched the maltese falcon wih humphrey bogart. not bad.

Le Samouri is kick ass. I rented that from Netflix months back and swam in the glorious 60's French beauty of it all. I just saw "Weekend" and that is probobly one of the oddest films I've ever seen, and I've seen my share of odd films. Definately a pre-cursor to "A ClockWork Oranage" wouldn't you say for those that have seen it?

The Elephant Man

fucking fantastic

Not sure about the Clockwork Orange/Weekend link. But it is an odd and pretty great film.

Oh, I saw Volver last night. It was nice...not amazing but nice for sure.

It's not half as bad as it looks.

There's some alcohol in the movie.

I saw The Proposition last night. Pretty impressive. Nick Cave wrote the screenplay in just three weeks and it's directed by John Hillcoat.
Great performances by Guy Pearce, Emily Watson and especially John Hurt as Jellon Lamb. It's quite violent and bloody, but well worth watching.
Music by Cave.

i didnt like the proposition all that much, thought it was a bit cliched but it certainly had a few moments.

i saw a scanner darkly last week which was really good and the week before i saw berlin year zero which was shot in the ruins of berlin 1946/47.

Proposition was a little creaky, but I enjoyed it a lot.

To me Scanner Darkly is half a great film and half a passable one. Looks great though.

Saw the Departed a few days ago, worth a look. Not brilliant but very very good. Acting's excellent.

I saw Babel, I thought it was pretty good.

oh the proposition was good. great acting and some spectacular shots. in retrospective it's not THAT mind-blowing, but seeing as how it is the first australian movie to deal with the fuckups of colonialism (or so the producers say), it's a good thing.

this past weekend i saw chasing amy-- funny, but kevin smith has a problem avoiding cheesy endings, otherwise it was fine. i also saw rosemary's baby, excellent and very creepy. and a couple of re-watches of "a fish called wanda" (hilarious) the talented mr. ripley" (which proves that matt damon CAN act--great soundtrack also).

anyway, where the hell is noumenal?

I picked up the late 1970s British film "Scum" on DVD this weekend and enjoyed it quite a lot.
Juvenile detention-center social darwinist heaviness.
The DVD set comes with both the BBC version and the film version (which is even more uncompromising) that they made after the BBC banned it forever due to its unflinching grittiness.
Pretty cheap too!

Scum is a good choice,Phil Daniels and Ray Winstone really shine on it.I recently re-watched 'Nil By Mouth' and it's an excellent,gritty and brutal movie as it was the first time i watched it.Also recently,Mike Leigh's 'High Hopes',perhaps one of his least known movies but still a good(and rather long) one.

porkmarras,
did you watch the war zone yet?

no, everything is shit. i cant wait to see borat

Still on my list of must see movies.

I saw Old Man last night, I loved it. I've also seen Lord Of War a couple of times the last month. Great movie.

Female Trouble was on like a week ago late at night....haven't really watched many movies lately.

going to watch bob roberts tonight. great film but really quite scary.
