lava_boy Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Also went to see Inglourious Basterds last nice and thoroughly enjoyed it, except for getting numb bum. Was expecting it to be a little more comedy led but thankfully it wasn't, although it did have some humorous parts. Loved the gory parts too, they were done brilliantly.
Dynamite Duane Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Watched Iron Man this afternoon, enjoyed it, pretty darn good!
Paid Members JLM Posted August 21, 2009 Paid Members Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Inglourious Basterds... I am now more gay for Brad Pitt than ever, Tarantino's best dialogue is back with a vengeance, Christoph Waltz vs Denis Menochet is up there with Hopper vs Walken in True Romance and I actually forgive Eli Roth for making the Hostel movies. See this movie, it is wonderful. That is all. Edited August 21, 2009 by JLM
Mr. Seven Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Just watched I Love You Man. Christ. I know Judd Apatow wasn't involved (at least I think he wasn't as I didn't see Seth Rogen anywhere) but this plethora of the same fucking comedy has to stop. Dreadfully unfunny, horribly forumlaic and I usually like Paul Rudd, but I wanted his character to die horribly in this. Avoid.
Tequila_Boy Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Watched Aliens in the Attic. Nothing wrong with it. Some decent child acting, I couldn't stop thinking the Dad was based ont he guy form 8 Simple rules and the 'robotic' boyfriend and nana was hilarious. Also Ashley Tisdale looks trampily hot.
The Cum Doctor Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Finally done with Twin Peaks season one. Is Season Two better than it ? It can't be surely. That was one of the best seasons of TV I've ever seen. I watched episode two and thought "this must be the best one". It got better and better. I couldn't believe it.
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted August 22, 2009 Paid Members Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) "Never Back Down" is a premiere on Sky Premiere this evening. It's a romance set in the MMA world, or something. Any good? Edited August 22, 2009 by bAzTNM
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 22, 2009 Paid Members Posted August 22, 2009 Finally done with Twin Peaks season one. Is Season Two better than it ? It can't be surely. It isn't. David Lynch wasn't very happy with it, let's just say. But I think it's still got some great stuff in it and some of the support characters get a lot more time to develop, which I liked.

Parkamarka Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Finally done with Twin Peaks season one. Is Season Two better than it ? It can't be surely. It isn't. David Lynch wasn't very happy with it, let's just say. But I think it's still got some great stuff in it and some of the support characters get a lot more time to develop, which I liked. Season 2 gets a bad rap. Lynch was on board for much more of it than is generally believed, and it was more of a case of he went off to do a movie than he disowned it or anything. The first half of it is fucking awesome and to a similar standard to season 1. There's a big drop in quality and some crappy subplots in the second half, but the final few episodes are great and the Lynch finale is just fucking monumental.
E.Z Money Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Sky Premieres this week. Any thoughts on them? Saturday 22nd - Friday 28th August Lovewrecked Never Back Down Wild Child Death Race Big Stan I enjoyed Death race, its got lots of explosions & jason statham. (sp) If you like him you will like it if you dont you wont, just leave your brain outside the door.
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted August 22, 2009 Paid Members Posted August 22, 2009 Aliens In The Attic It's shit. Need more? Okay, it's really shit. And unoriginal. You've already seen pretty much all the gags in it, but in things that were funnier. Just a horrible, horrible waste of time and money. For me, and the producers. Watched Aliens in the Attic. Nothing wrong with it. Some decent child acting, I couldn't stop thinking the Dad was based ont he guy form 8 Simple rules and the 'robotic' boyfriend and nana was hilarious. Also Ashley Tisdale looks trampily hot. Old lady on wires doing flippy floppy Hollywood kung fu. Like the Charlie's Angels bit from Scary Movie 2. Man under mind control device slaps himself in the face. Like in Angels & Demons from Red Dwarf 3, amongst others. See my bit in bold. Then insert facepalm pic.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 23, 2009 Paid Members Posted August 23, 2009 Going back to the subject of Grotesque, the BBFC have banned it. And what an influential and powerful organisation they are too - you can watch it here for nothing.
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 24, 2009 Paid Members Posted August 24, 2009 And after that, I watched it as well. I wish I hadn't, not because of the violence, but because it was just utter bollocks. I can understand the point that they are trying to make with Grotesque - the fact that the torturer is only doing this for sexual gratification is supposed to make you despair more over his intentions and make you feel more uncomfortable. But it doesn't work. There is just no point to it and no pay-off in sight makes it a worthless experience. The acting is terrible too. I mean, if you had some of these things done to you, you'd fucking scream not sort of pull a face like Anne Widdecombe had come on the telly or something. He's just <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler nailed through your bollocks! Scream, you cunt! [close spoiler] ");document.close(); And then the final violent act culminates in something so fucking stupid that they wouldn't have put it in a Friday The 13th film and a final scene that was utterly predictable. Because of the understated reactions of the actors to what was going on, they missed a trick. If they had actually screamed more and there had been more realism, especially during one of the sexual acts, it would have been more effective. Saw and Hostel had some semblance of a plot to them. This had nothing. As film like this deserves to stay in obscurity yet the BBFC have given it the oxygen of publicity that it never deserved by banning it. What a bunch of twats. 3/10. Before that I had watched R-Point, which was a Korean ghost film by way of Predator and Platoon where an army patrol goes to find a lost platoon and then encounters some spookiness at a 'temple built on the tombs of lost lives from years gone by'. Oooooh. This was a load of crap too. I think it probably wasn't helped by bad subtitling but some parts made no sense anyway such as an encounter with an American patrol wittering on about nothing at all and contributing nothing at all to the plot. There were one or two nice scenes that worked pretty well but it was dull and about 15 minutes too long and then of course they had to have the obligatory scary long black-haired girl crowbarred in somewhere for even less reason than ever before here. I'm hoping The Guard Post is better than this, but I knew I should have watched The Host tonight. 4/10.
