Last Film You Watched

[Ian]

Saw Saw again last night. The last half hour is quite thrilling (and its always great to see the wonderful Michael Emerson) but on the whole I didn't like it as much this time. Perhaps I've seen it enough times now.

[Kso]

Saw Saw...Sounds strange English such english

[Ian]

Yes, I did notice that.

[sydney]

Last film I watched was Cube, last Tuesday.

[fish]

This one?



I couldn't see the pic of the one you posted Sydney, but I saw this "Cube" a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. The intrigue, the character development, even the maths, I thought was excellent.
Scary, but very good.

[Ian]

With a pre-DS9 Nicole DeBoer.

Cube...I watched about one year ago. I liked only end, where was fight between fool and the second guy ( I think black man ? ... I do not know ) the end was interesting, but the whole movie I liked not so much

[fish]

I noticed on the World Movies channel last night.


For whatever reason the pic of the DVD cover keeps getting "forbidden". So here's the stars.

I saw "Room in Rome" ages ago but only in Youtube clips. First time on a big screen.

Reinforced my original perception that this was more than just an erotic drama, it was actually a very beautiful love story.

For the uninitiated it concerns two strangers who met in a bar on their last night in Rome and wind up spending the night together. What could have been just a one night stand becomes much more.

Even the ending I loved, with it's promise of more.

I went into downtown Manchester yesterday, on a determined mission to acquire copies of Fucking Amal and Water Llilies [yes, I know they're both about teenage girls falling in love... ]

NOWHERE. NOTHING. NOPE.

I ended up in some strange underground vault which, fatally for me, had a cheapo section, where I picked up Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, the Aileen Wuornos biofic Monster with Therion/Ricci, and the geno-nightmare Splice for a couple of quid each.

Still a bugger, though.

I got my SML on the Moodysson box set. 40 quid (from HMV) was a bit steep, but at least it has Tilsammans and Lilya4ever on which are worth watching occasionally, plus the shortfilm pre-FA Bara Prata Lite which is very good, and the whole London Film extended interview with him, which is essential viewing.

I also got Water Lilies from HMV. I hate the way they constantly juggle their prices around. Originally it was 16 quid which I thought was too much (for me anyway) then next week it went down to 8 quid so I bought it, and then next week it was put back up to 16 quid. Last time I saw it in stock it was down to 5 quids. I got the Swedish vamp flick 'Not Like Others' for 4quid marekd down from 10quid, but i see today they've put up the proce agagin to 10quid. I've got all the first three Swedish Wallander boxsets for reasonable prices by waiting. THey've got the fourth one in now but I'm not prepared to pay 50quid for it. If it goes the same way as the others they''ll knock it down to about 30/35 quid in January.

I spend most of my life combing charity shops and market stalls looking for scandi-fiction books and continental films. I'm never found FA, have seen WL once (kicking myself should have bought as back up copy) . I got all the Ginger Snaps trilogy this way. I have seen Lilya4ever on markets and secondhand shops.

Blockbuster have Lilya4ever on their rental section, but most of their stock is predictable. My local library spends its Foriegn Language budget on trashy Bollywood movies, in order to appear PC. it's stupid really because the Asian people I know have all their own Bolly DVDs because there's a huge market in cheapo bootlegging.

At least they have the excellent (but depressing) Argentinian film 'XXY' although I have my own copy, and the German film 'Christiane F' which is even more depressing. In fact, my whole life seems to revolve around enjoying depressing books and films. I like listening to Radiohead and they are quite depressing too!

[Ian]

If I want depressing, I have my life.


What's Not Like Others like, snapsie?

[Oink]

Ian ... you need a hug ?

... Bexy ... now it's the time !! Hug Ian ... hug me ... hug all of us

[snaps]

If I want depressing, I have my life.

What's Not Like Others like, snapsie?

Well I know its a bit embarrassing. The cover blurb does say ''Similar in execution to ''Let The Right One In'' Heavy on realism and big on ideas"

I have to confess I did fall asleep during it. But I did that during 'Breaking Yawn' as well It's got thingy wotsit in from 'Alex's 'Astro'' but even so

I'll give it another go when I've had less to dwink

[fish]

Åw.
Poor Ian.
Poor Oink.
Poor Snaps.

Ok. Everyone round here for a pool and spa party.
A quiet glass of something nice.
Then the movie.
Then the for anyone who dozes off.

[Ian]

I always need a hug.

Snaps bites when she gets too close, though.
