wasted Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) I watched 'Shame' last night. It wasn't bad but the script was flawed. It didn't explain the reasons for the main character's sex addiction, nor did it define the relationship between him and his sister very well. It was hard to have any emotional connection to them as a result. Making good films is fucking hard. I really don't see many films that I love.Thats really what the film is about. Why are they so fucked up? "We arent bad people we just come from a bad place"That to me is the answer. My guess is they were abused. And the shame makes them like they are. Its a mystery film without a detective. Edited February 17, 2013 by wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Still surprised at how excellent Die Hard 4 is. Up until this one, it really was about as consistent a franchise of its length as you could possibly get... Which makes the mediocrity of the new one a really galling diasppointment.

izzygirl Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'm rewatching "Enter the dragon". Bruce Lee is awesome. I'm sorry, but "A Good Day To Die Hard" sounds like a porn film.And when some beautiful mind renames the film "The Jungle: a good day to die"... then you wish it still sounded like a porn film.

wasted Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Good day to be a die hard fan. Ill probably go. I mean its Die hard how good were the others really. Its die hard, one liners, smoking, and yippe kai yay motherfuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I love Shame! It didn't explain those things on purpose because you are supposed to think about them after the movie is over.Agreed, it's stunning. As Wasted said, the line 'we're not bad people, we just come from a bad place' (and the obvious sexual tension between them) is all that's needed. It's a beautiful film and Steve McQueen is an extraordinary talent.Good day to be a die hard fan. Ill probably go. I mean its Die hard how good were the others really. Its die hard, one liners, smoking, and yippe kai yay motherfuckers.The original is a classic of the genre and the sequels vary from fantastic (3), to perfectly agreeable (2 and to a lesser extent 4). This one doesn't feel like part of the series, it's like a cheapo straight to DVD piece of shit that inexplicably features the character John McClane...even though he doesn't feel like John McClane and Willis gives the exact same performance he gives in everything now.

Nosaj Thing Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Watched The Man with the Iron Fists last night. Horrible movie I decided to watch it despite the negative reviews thinking I would enjoy it but no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I actually thought Willis looked like he was enjoying himself despite the weakness of the film around him. To me, he's still McClane but then again I pretty much only see him as McClane in literally every other movie he's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Just watched The Master, loved it. Joaquin Phoenix was phenomenal, he deserved the Oscar nomination. Movie was a little bit confusing at the beginning but kept my attention after the first 15 minutes. Oh and I love Amy Adams nose. Also watched Anna Karenina, it was... alright.

Chinaski Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I respected Shame more than I enjoyed it but I guess that was kind of the point. I saw it in the cinema with some friends of mine who totally weren't expecting a film like that so the discussions afterwards amused me.Finally got around to seeing Seven Psychopaths. I was kind of hoping it would be In Bruges but with Tom Waits in it. I did enjoy it but kind of felt like it was lacking something. It kind of felt like it never really got started.

wasted Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Bruce seems to just be Bruce these days. He seems to just add his name to movie and turn up and be Bruce.I thought Shame was quite amusing but then it got kind of serious with the you know. Its also interesting the different imtrepretations. Like when he meets the nice girl. One person said he liked her so much he prematured. I thought je couldnt get it up conventionally. So then he orders a girl but she smirks at his plea for connection. Edited February 19, 2013 by wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Watched Red last night for the first time. I really enjoyed it. Just a good time from start to finish and I thought Bruce Willis and John Malkovich had great chemistry. Looking forward to the sequel this year.

Georgy Zhukov Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 La Vita e Bella is a great movie. I watched it in both English and Italian and man the English dubbing was horrible.Italians and French are so much better at dubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas he wanted to get his rocks off and then connect after over a few bumps. Edited February 21, 2013 by Randy Lahey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
