Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 11, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2014 Can't find any other thread to put this in. Sad news to report. RIchard "Jaws" Kiel passes away age 74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted September 11, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2014 Good age for someone with his health problems, but still very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted September 11, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2014 Me and the missus were just discussing him at the weekend, as there was a lookalike at some local function and she was convinced it was actually Kiel himself. Â We shouldn't feel sad really. He lived longer than many others with his condition, had a good career, and by all accounts had an enjoyable life. And he had shit on the market. Â Â It is sad though, for the purely selfish reason that he (or rather Jaws) is another iconic piece of the world that I grew up in that's now gone.

RIP Jaws, I met him at a sci fi convention once and he was a really classy nice chap. Like Digby said, he's had a good life and probably lived longer than I will so I can't be too sad.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGIT Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I watched American Beauty for the first time yesterday. Take it most people have already seen it. Was real good, anyway. The complexity and emotions of the characters made it. Kevin Spacey's a real good actor, and one I always forget about. I forget how good he is until I re-watch one of his movies. Â He's in that House of Cards now, which I haven't seen. Anyone watch it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House of Cards is a veritable Spacey-fest, so you should enjoy it. It is good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 13, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) "American Beauty" is a class film. I remember some guy walking out of the cinema when that guy came onto Spacey and his wife telling him to sit down.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 14, 2014 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 14, 2014 Channel 5 have done good with their Sunday night film this week - The Rock! Cracking film to put on before bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted September 14, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 14, 2014 Watched Lucy on Saturday night, underdeveloped and a bit Akira-lite, but aside from that decent romp, decent action flick Not sure what people's problem is with it to be fairI think the problem was that it was underdeveloped, and to anyone that had seen Akira, overly-derivative at times. The script was horrendous at times, cramming in a need to explain to the audience what's currently going on. The cutting back and forth of stock footage interfered with the flow, Morgan Freeman's role was pretty lightweight, and it descended into a glans rubbing SFX showreel towards the end. Overall I just thought the film spoiled itself with it's needless mishmashing. It felt like it had a dozen directors that couldn't agree on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Watched a cracker on MUBI, it was called "Old Joy". It's about 2 guys who go into a forest and laze about in a jacuzzi. Threatens to go into "Brokeback Mountain" territory but it doesn't. It sounds awful, but it's really good.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 16, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yeah, I'm looking forward to that as well. Some crackers on Mubi at the moment - Brute Force, Kuroneko, M, The Holy Mountain, Kwaidan, Ghost World, Confessions and a few others. Â Why the fuck have they got The Business on there though?
