Films

Cheers. Looking through all the bookings for the next week or so and the back row is almost empty for all of them, is there something particularly painful about sitting that far back?

I sat in the front row at the big screen at picturehouse Cambridge for crouching tiger hidden dragon.

Such neck ache from reading subtitles.

Best IMAX experience I had was watching Prometheus, and I was sitting on the very back row for that. Shame the film was such a pile of wank. Looked great tho...

Back row is fine, and if the film is shit you can watch a teenager get a handjob instead.

Books back row ticket at IMAX

@Lebowski - Which IMAX?...

Happy Interstellar day. Avoiding the crowds and booked in for 5:45 in the morning tomorrow, perfect wake up.

Keen.

I'm on the soundtrack for Interstellar. #csb

Just keen to avoid all the twats that come out for films like this. When I saw The Winter Soldier on day of release I had a complete bunch of bellends who started smoking as well as constantly talking for the first 10/15 minutes. Despite someone else noting it and going to complain they never bothered kicking them out once they realised they were being watched.

Also doing it at this time of day means no fucker will bring in hot smelly food like nachos and hot dogs, so yeah

Good on yer.

awesomeness

Interstellar. IMAX.

Mind = Blown.

I feel numb, but in a good way. Fucking hell that film is gorgeous.

I feel cheated with interstellar. I wanted to go to imax but my wife likes screen on the green... thought that's a fair trade, Sci fi so she picks the cinema. Mistake. I thought it'd be OK cause they do 4k digital and the sound is usually OK. Nope. without warning they decided to run a 30mm film print. It was shaky and out of focus the whole time. I complained so I'm getting some vouchers but really really really disappointed as the visuals just failed. The upside is that it revealed what a shallow and trite film it was. Some of the dialogue was so saccharine and sentimental I nearly laughed out loud. It really was a slick copy of 2001 without the insight. Nolan, Kubrick you are not.
Still, I might go see it at imax just to enjoy the pictures.

thats every movie man.

El infierno drama with wry comedy about drug trafficking in mexico. Good watch, not as deep as it could be, bit more towards entertainment but time well spent.

Just got back from 'Fury'
Not bad, fairly bleak.
Doesn't make me want to join a WW2 tank crew.

The machine (2013) competent effort, some concepts have been done better in other movies but as a whole its quite good.

Interstellar was shit. I felt like I'd been in cryogenic stasis - has a talking robot that looks like an obelisk (FFS) and the musical score keeps straying into The Blue Danube waltz at every opportunity before edging away from it.....but just enough to give the popcorn zombies a fuck off big sign post that says 'You are in space..........a bit like that other, much much better film'

The bit where the talking robot that isn't HAL starts running had me almost in tears of laughter

Really enjoyed Locke.

interstellar. unrelentingly boring and resorts to woolly sophistry to explain it all away. 2001 a poundstore odyssey.

From the trailers it looked like it might be a remake of The Black Hole.

Does it not have cute robots?

Watched 'The Room' in a cinema full of students. Spoons and beer cans were thrown. Was quite the odd experience.

Just watched Snowpiercer.

It started a little cliche, but holy shit, it's really awesome.

The ending is very unexpected.
