DVDs and Films You Have Watched Recently 3 - The Final Insult

Recommended Posts

I find Peckilnpah's films deeply affecting, but it's very hard to pinpoint exactly why or whether I'm having the intended reaction of the director.  Straw Dogs and Cross Of Iron are hard, unrelenting films.  I haven't seen The Wild Bunch in years, but I remember it being very good.

I watched Paddington yesterday and I absolutely loved it. I've read good stuff about it on here and I thought it'd be okay to watch with the little one. She enjoyed it too which was good. I definitely need to watch the second one. For the kid of course. 

I hear ya man. Myself and the ladies of the household watched both Paddington films at the time the second one came out in the cinema, and I enjoyed it the most of us all. They really liked it too, but going to watch the second one at the cinema probably ended up being more of a treat for me than anyone else.

Which beggars belief that the author of Twilight hasn’t been on the phone to the lawyers, as EL James essentially took her work, changed a couple of names and put a couple of fucks in and ended up a few million better off

Not really; she probably knew just how much she had to change it to avoid being sued. She changed the vampire into a rich bloke, changed blood-drinking into a warped idea of a BDSM relationship, and changed their names.

Ironically she is litigation-mental and goes after anything called Fifty Shades of <noun>. I nearly wrote a book called Fifty Shades of Spud (seriously) but changed the name at the last moment lest her ex-vampiric drivel come after me.

I've had to write about her sodding books (and the film adaptations) several times for work. Pretty much everyone in porn hates them and thinks they're damaging as hell. When porn thinks you're doing harm then you really are doing something badly wrong.

Surely that's the first group of people you'd expect to have complaints about it? One, because it's damaging their industry and two because for once it's actually something outside of the industry itself that's the problem. It's like all the wrestlers champing at the bit to attack Meltzer, because they're so relieved that they're not the problem for once.
