i think the word yer looking for is 'mediocre'

which is worse than being shit. some people excel at being shit, which in a way is admirable. look at nicolas cage!

Garden State = navel-gazing snoozefest

Didn't mind Garden State - loved I Heart Huckabee's (came out roughly same time)

Leave Nick Cage alone, I thought he was good in Kick Ass at least. Read this some of the points are so true - http://www.cracked.com/funny-118-nicolas-cage/

+1 I Heart Huckabee's

any good forgotten DVDs to recomend????
something that is not in the cinemas now, please

Killer Klowns form Outer Space

Garden State is Awesome! Much better than I Heart Huckzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (overhyped bullshit!)

Going to see the Green Hornet tonight - not sure if its gonna be good.

I loved the new TRON, though I was really worried about that being shit at the time. But I don't really have anything vested in Green Hornet as such so maybe I'm not as worried.

Looking forward to seeing that. Love Michael Gondry. Apparently his twist on bullet time is good.

127 hours is good, not earthshatteringlyunmissable though.
its got some cool biking in as well,
although we all know that Slick Rock is a piece of piss,
which may or may not be where its filmed I dont know,
anyway,

make my funk the p-funk,
I wants to get funked up.

gonna watch it tomorrow 'innit...got free tkts from Sunday Times. so be rude not to...don't fancy 'owt else.....Kings Speech? Just the fact it has that D'arcy bloke in it is enough to make me never want to see it...

whaddya reckon EB?

from a critical sociocultural standpoint i liked the monologue where he called himself out on camera for being a 'hardhero' that didnt tell anyone where he had gone.....
dont think that the foootage was the *actual *footage Ralston took though

it was a quite fightclubby in the fast sections and elsewhere,
might watch fight club again, I always remember it whenever seeing a celluloid film show again, as all the films at Poole lighthouse are now digital presentations.

in Dolby *stereo----stereo----- stereo---- *

Legally Bonde on iplayer?
Or should i go for Time Cop?

neither are great but I know what I'd go for.

The arm amputation scene in 127 Hours is fine. Dido on the soundtrack however was almost too gruesome for words......

how so?

Watched Keiller's London again a few weeks ago (had been a couple of years I think) and it was like watching a brand new film. A brand new experience, anyway, really really recommend watching it if you've seen it before or not. I really liked it before but in a nostalgic, dated, curious about London kinda of way. Now it seems so much more ... resonant? Like, so many things are sort of going on now; bankers, Tories winning elections, dissent on the streets, the end-of-the-eighties fashion...

Haven't seen Robinson in Ruins yet. Hope the DVD's out soon.

Just finished watching Gummo. Can't really attempt to describe it, but if you like John Waters' films and Happiness by Todd Solonz then i'd recommend it. Some truly gruesome moments

The arm amputation scene in 127 Hours is fine.

I saw it in the preview showings. So many people told me they wouldn't be going to see it because of that, as if somehow the whole film was going to be him slowly yet graphically amputating his own arm. What did you think of the whole film? I thought if you already knew the premise of the film (guy goes out alone, gets arm trapped, ends up amputating own arm) it didn't really get any better than that. Although Franco was quite good in it. And it was good to see the real Ralston at the end.

Much preferred Touching the Void.

how so?

how so what so? Isn't it obvious?

Touching the Void is much better I agree

Touching the Void is much better I agree

Thanks!

Lots of people would agree with you there.

Saw Human Centipede tonight, finally. Really surprised at how good it was, thought it would be crappy. IMDBd the director and see that HC2 is in post-production, that's going to give me sweet dreams.

Watched "The Heavy" starring Gary Stretch last night.

It was so bed-shittingly bad I thought Danny Dyer would appear at any minute.

^Never heard of the film, or Gary Stretch for that matter.

Sounds dreadful anyway.

funnily enought I also watched last night.... I feel sleep, one of the worst movies I have watches in long time

Danny Dyer was not there, but Vinci Jones and the blonde from Blue were there ....
waste of Shannyn Sossamon tho

Clara and I bought a Optoma DS316L projector for Christmas, and now have the equivalent of a 120" screen. I've you've ever thought about getting one I thoroughly recommend it, connected up to my computer playing 720p movies it looks great. It won't break the bank either.
