Nosaj Thing Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Saw- Saw II- :confused:But really, they weren't as good as people say they are. Just the usual gory slasher movies. You didn't understand the plot I guess.I understood the plot perfectly, I just thought it was boring. The little twist at the end of the first one was nice, I'll give it that, but as that seems to be the driving force of the following movies it still seems a little lame to me Little? Ok.Talkin' about SAW, I think 7 films were too much, just watch the first three films. To me, they were excellent and Tobin Bell did his job.

The second was a lot more fun, which is exactly what this kind of movie should be. Better pacing than the first too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GivenToFly Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 So I felt like watching some epic movies. To that end I've been finding some epics of epic epicness:- rewatched Forrest Gump: As good as I remembered it.- watched Gods and Generals Director's Cut: Not very good. Over-dramatic as fuck. And I like drama! Between the dialog and the soundtrack it almost comes off as a parody. I can't believe I made through 4 hours and 40 minutes of it (yes, that's right!). The battle scenes are pretty elaborate so I'm guessing those interested in history may like it.I've got the following waiting:- 1900 Director's Cut. 5 hours and 15 minutes. Better be good! - The Right Stuff- The Tree of LifeAlso in the course of getting:- Red Cliff parts 1 and 2- Doctor Zhivago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuddMckagan Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Finally got around to watching Iron Man. I appreciated the fact that is wasn't the typical superhero movie plotline. Was pretty good overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelica Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Just watched Men in Black III. Nowhere near as good as the first one, and honestly I even thought the second one was better.I liked it slightly better than the second one, solely due to Josh Brolin's virtuoso Tommy Lee Jones impression. But I wish they'd never made a single godamn sequal. If they hadn't the original would be rightly regarged as one of the best and most genuinely charming blockbusters of the last twenty years.

PappyTron Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Anjelica, have you ever seen S.T.A.L.K.E.R by Andrei Tarkovsky? If so, what did you think of it? I want to watch it, but it looks like a 3 hour long episode of Last Of The Summer Wine. Edited September 5, 2012 by PappyTron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen an ep of Last of the Summer Wine, but there's an amazing fan wank book about Stalker called Zona where he compares a scene in the film to it, so you may not be totally off!

Guest Len B'stard Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Oooh, exciting! That's like getting a Christmas present or something. I thought I'd seen em all. Rebecca, ever seen that, that ones wonderful. Dial M for Murder? I've quite literally seen everything he's made, silent stuff, early stuff, later stuff. Some of it i don't remember so sharply cuz its been a while, some of the earlier stuff but it only takes like, a brief overview of plot and it all comes flooding back to me. I love Hitchcock so much, they just transport you to another world and they hold your attention so well, you just get engrossed til you find yourself pulling for characters, y'know, going "run Jimmy Stewart, get out of that chair and run, the fat guys comin'! The camera work in Hitchcock movies is intrusive to the point of feeling dirty or obscene, the places it goes, the things it does, the way it teases you, the way it gives you jusst enough information to keep stringing you along, it's almost sensuous, the man was such a fuckin' genius..

Redhead74 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Yep, seen Rebecca, but ages ago. Should probably see it again when I watch The Wrong Man. Dial M for Murder is fantastic. I just love the scene where the guy has to make the phone call at a certain time and his watch stops! Wow! Rear Window is my favourite of all time. I just love the way the whole thing is filmed in that one apartment complex, no other locations and its so interesting you don't even notice. I recently saw a Grace Kelly exhibition here in OZ and the original black dress she wears in it was there and I got really emotional! I've also got the Tippi Hedren Barbie doll for the Birds. Comes with birds attached to her head! Agreed, he was definitely a genius! In another life I would come back as a Hitchcock blonde.
