The King Of Swing Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) On Kick Ass I think <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler Dave getting the girl was a bit of a piss take on how the hero either gets the girl at the end of the movie or in one of the sequels [close spoiler] ");document.close();. Personally I think the changes they made worked because the book (which I honestly dont think is very good at all) is pretty fucking misserable and the movie wouldn't have worked as well as a more literal adaption imo.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted June 7, 2010 Moderators Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) How is it a pisstake? It's just what happens. That's not a pisstake at all. It's just doing the same thing. My flatmate didn't like the book either and much preferred the film, and some of the things they changed I did think made for a better film.. but all three of us watching and seemingly other people here as well all agree that this thing that happened that we're talking about shouldn't have happened.

ultimo the great Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Saw Kung Fu Hustle last night. I'd never seen it before but I have to say it's one of the funniest, most entertaining things i've watched in ages. The comedy in it is just brilliant. You'd probably enjoy Shaolin Soccer as well, it's not as visually stunning as Hustle but for me was funnier.

Merzbow Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 I did however pick up a perfect copy of Kick Ass which was clearly lifted of the upcoming DVD print. It was an R5 copy, they are released in India/Russia etc early to help stop the pirates.
NEWM Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Saw Cloverfield on 4HD last night, really enjoyed it. Had meant to get round to it for a while, but just kept missing the opportunity. I was actually quite enjoying the fluffy party scenes before the shit kicked off too.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 8, 2010 Paid Members Posted June 8, 2010 Watched half of Inglourious Basterds on Friday. It was ace but I couldn't stay awake. Watched the second half last night. What a fantastic film. Just a souple of hours of complete entertainment, terrific story telling, great dialogue and seriously gruesome shots. The ending made me feel sick and I had trouble sleeping last night.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 9, 2010 Paid Members Posted June 9, 2010 saw these yesterday and the night before: Righteous Kill The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford The Quick & The Dead Death At A Funeral 4 very different movies (ok, two westerns but they couldn't be more different), all enjoyable in their own way...The Assassination of Jesse James was fantastic,
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 9, 2010 Paid Members Posted June 9, 2010 The Assassination of Jesse James was fantastic, That's on my list to watch. I picked it up for
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 9, 2010 Paid Members Posted June 9, 2010 Jesse James is great, i recommend you watch it alone though, or with someone you know will respect what's going on because it certainly isn't an 'action' western. Some great performances in it and it's one of them movies that stirs up all kinds of emotions as your watching it.
KingOfMetal Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 me and the misses went to see Death At A Funeral the other day, and we both loved it which is rare as its usually one of us likes and the other doesnt. James Marsden and Danny Glover are both great in it. I've heard alot of hype about Sons Of Anarchy, but have never seen it. Is it worth catching?
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted June 9, 2010 Moderators Posted June 9, 2010 Yeah.. Sons of Anarchy is great. It took a couple episodes for me to really get into it and the reason I persevered was because it had been reccomended heavily. So give it a chance - because once I was hooked I was really hooked. (oh yeah, and I gotta say if you're a South Park fan it kinda makes it harder to get into at first if you've recently seen that episode about the biker fags)
