Isis Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 You should try 2001 with a hangover. We found it really relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drunkard Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Finished The Wire (deserves its rep), The Grand Budapest Hotel (much better than Darjeeling/Moonrise/Mr Fox I thought), and Prometheus (which was bad, I don't know why I chose this). Birdman is next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Killer Snark Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm watching the Jess Franco women in prison soft porno flick Barbed Wire Dolls. Still cut in the UK and banned here in the 80s. It's absolutely laughable as a movie, but as pure kitsch is a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Shryke, I watched about 30 minutes of that movie and then stopped. It wasn't bad, it was just utterly bland. I realised I was bored and like cleaning the house as I watched it because it just couldn't hold my attention.I would have murdered Galifanakis' character at some point during that film. I'm not sure it wouldn't have been considered justifiable homocide. He was playing an absolutely loathsome human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Finally got around to watching Submarine this weekend. It was an amusing, sad, wry little film. The protagonist is reminiscent of Adrian Mole, one of those cringe-inducing teenagers who desire so badly to be an intellectual and feel themselves to be far more mature than their peers but in reality have so much growing up to do first. Some of the things he does and says (mainly in relation to his parents) are absolutely hilarious though. And I really enjoyed the Welsh scenery and the soundtrack too. Off to see Birdman today.

Davrum Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 No. I cant really stream things online v well my latop is on its last legs so I'm doing all my TV watching on netflix the past few months and cowboy bebop isn't on there :( Ah, bummer. Well, I at least have to say thanks for what you said about Space Dandy. I watched the first ep last night and you're right, it's a ton of fun.

The zombie ep is awesome :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theda Baratheon Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Watching Inglourious Basterds for the 100th time. Totally love this movie. My favourite Tarantino. I love them all really and probably rewatch Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill's much more than Basterds, but there's just something about this one that's a cut above the rest.

The Killer Snark Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Continuing my previous European sexploitation theme, I just watched the Tinto Brass film Cheeky, aka Transgressing. Beautiful leading lady, visually ravishing, very sexy, no artistic motivation as there is with earlier Brass films, and probably the worst voice acting on the English dub and most equally hilarious dialogue you'll have come across in quite some time. A ridiculous camp treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Just watched The Winter Soldier. Decent action flick. Certainly much better than the first Captain America movie. I liked Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men Days of Future Past a lot more though. Although, to be fair I've never been much of a fan of Captain America as a character.

The Killer Snark Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'm currently at episode 3 of True Detective. I watched a very good Israeli movie last night called Big Bad Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 You have a couple great episodes coming up. 4 & 5 are easily the best of True Detective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'm currently at episode 3 of True Detective. I watched a very good Israeli movie last night called All Bad Wolves.Big Bad Wolves? If so, I've been meaning to watch that for some time. Episodes 4 and 5 really bring the heat in TD, like Nictarion said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Killer Snark Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yeah, Big Bad Wolves. It's excellent, even though there's been quite a few similarly themed films made before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I just watched " Wild" with Renee Witherspoon as the book's author, Cheryl strayed. It is by Jean-Marc Vallee, one of my favourite directors of the last 10 years. Everything this guy touches appeals to me, he has great sensitivity. This was another excellent, excellent film. It immediately and obviously calls to mind 2007's Into the Wild, which I do prefer a little bit over this one, but still, what a fine film. Loved the story, the scenery, Witherspoon was impressive as well. Great film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drunkard Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Watched The Constant Gardener. It was good, I've never seen Ralph Fiennes in a movie or role I haven't liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
