Paid Members DEF Posted April 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2020 If people are still interested I pick Wicked City (1987) which is on YouTube with English dub. I propose we get the picks up by the end of today then get poll up Friday so we have something to watch at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a teenager, I might have watched some bits more than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted April 16, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yeah I think it was pretty obvious people were messing around, but I went through with it in the hope people genuinely wanted to do it. My pick would have been The Conversation as it is on ITV this Saturday. I am familiar with Enemy of The State, but never seen it's sibling and I know it is well regarded on here. But if people are genuinely not interested in doing it, just knock it on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Been a good ten years since I last saw The Conversation. I've got a right boner for Harrison Ford at the moment and I'll watch Gene Hackman in anything, although he wasn't the main draw in Heartbreakers. I've not enough time to waste watching shite so I'll chime in when there's a film I'm interested in.

The Conversation is possibly Coppola’s finest. Although my favourite film in that style is The Lives Of Others.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have seen it) I watch lots of films without posting my thoughts about them as I just can't always be arsed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously got other stuff going on but happy for people to try another film Yep pretty much the same. I watched it knowing full well it was supposed to be a joke but figured if I get it watched and treat it seriously then it's not a waste of a good idea. Which I think the film club is because theres a bunch of us that watch alot of films. @SuperBaconI watch more films than anyone I know of bar maybe Devon and I completely get not wanting to post about them. I rarely do myself but that is sort of the whole point of film club. Nevertheless I see week one as a success as two of us participated. @Onyx2 Yep it's probably my favourite manga film and its batshit crazy. I'm fascinated by how the west uses animation to make family films and how Japan makes horror fantasy like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 @DEF I talk to myself about old rap in the Hip Hop thread, but then I really only post for the amusement of myself and it encourages me to write. Two of you writing about it is better than none. Keep on truckin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 16, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 16, 2020 Even though I know the tracks you are posting it's still nice to read your thoughts and sometimes remind myself about a song I haven't listened to in a while.

That was only 5% a backhanded 'find some deeper cuts' 😘 Seriously though, I always enjoy any activity in that thread. I need to make an effort to post some more myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members waters44 Posted April 17, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2020 @DEF @Hannibal Scorch yeah I agree with @SuperBacon, keep going and people will join in when convenient for them. No pressure on anyone including yourselves. I’ll get to them at some point and post my thoughts, I was going to sign up to BFI and watch Sebastine when works starts to quieten down a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
