Do you like rats and drain cleaner?

^^^Fear And loathing In Las Vegas is plenty better as a film than the original book

I dunno, both pretty amazing in my opinion.

Sideways works much better as a film imo

What a fantastic film! I love it so much.

I love Sideways too.

Proper little gem.

*shudder

exactly.

Do you like Huey Lewis & The News?

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as, uh, anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your ass. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and, uh, Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

<3 the way he says 'Duke'

TBF you've got to have a strong stomach to get through the bit where he drills out her mouth and pulls her esophagus out through the hole.

That and American Slendour have resulted in me watching pretty much anything with Paul Giamatti in.

that post about Genesis is slightly unnerring, the Sabrina and Christy elements are subversively pushing something Im not sure about....

Kick-Ass was better than the comic, despite being written by one of my favourite writers and drawn by my favourite comic artist (though they did use his artwork in the film).

On that point, does anyone know of a film that is better than the book?

Jaws.

Bullitt.

Godfather... unless you like vagina-tightening surgery sub-plots...

Jaws.

Bullitt.

it was

King's Speech was great, great, great. I haven't enjoyed a film so much in a long time. The whole film brings so much empathy when the Duke of York/George VI struggles to put 2 words together. The guy sitting next to me had his head in his hands every time there was a speech, he was so tense.

Colin Firth rocks, you guys know nothing.

Has anyone seen Des hommes et des dieux (of gods and men)? It is apparently an amazing film.

Saw Neds last night, really enjoyed. very harrowing viewing though
