Just watched Quantum of Solace in the theater. Awsome as usual. I especially liked how some of the scenes were edited together and flowed into each other with the music as guidance. I love shots like that and they finally used it in a Bond movie!

Casino Royal and Quantum of Solace have really thrown up the reality level of the Bond movies, and they are set on making a point of it by having all these classic Bond situation in the movies and then putting a realistic twist on them.
Like, a bus drives down below and Bond has to hitch a ride. You'd expect him to jump on, hitch the ride and jump down on his target. But what would happen in real life? If the bus driver hears something hitting the roof he stops! Duh! And Bond is launched into a wall. It's hilarious to watch because you don't expect the obvious to happen.

If I had to hitch a ride on a bus I'd stick out my thumb.
But seriously, can't wait to see it.

Just saw Dead poets society at school, done by an old boy of our school, Peter weir, who also did Gallipoli I think. The school reminds me alot of my own, since it is based on it, write to the uniform, I wonder if we ever had a secret society/ cult?

Saw Shaun of the Dead again. That movie is such a laugh :D
I love the bit when they shove that girl on the tennis pole thingie, and then she staggers back up, and Ed starts to re-wind the cmaera again XD I loled

Tokyo Godfathers. I enjoyed it. They need to make more realistic anime.

I watched Transporter 1 on channel 4

It was utter trash but amazing at the same time, with its tongue wedged firmly in its cheek

Just saw the end of Scarface with the huge mountain of coke and the machine guns, etc.

I guess.

Purty damn good. Unstable characters who question morality, the government and even existance itself; who could ask for more? The ending really kicks you in the teeth, though.

It also has some of the worst acting I have ever had the displeasure of viewing.

Havoc 11-15-2008 07:36 AM

OMG cube has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

*Smacks head* I DONT LIKE BLUE ROOMSS!!!!

Hmm, yeah, the acting was shitty, but that really didn't bother me for some reason.

EDIT: I changed my mind. Thinking back on the whole prime number thing, why did it take her as much time to figure out that the blatantly divisible numbers like 545 weren't prime as it did for her to figure out the numbers that were prime? Still a cool idea, though.

Kimon 11-15-2008 09:39 AM

Just saw that Eugene Hutz thing... something to Hutzovania... forgot the title.

But it's about Eugene Hutz going to the Ukraine to connect with his Gypsy roots, and man is it fucking excellent. I would recommend this to anybody who enjoys life.

I didn't want to say before but I actually found all aspects of the film to be shit. The writing, the premise, the philosophy. Everything.

Havoc 11-15-2008 09:56 AM

Yea you almost can't believe this movie had 2 sequals...

Leto 11-15-2008 05:34 PM

Yeah, I kind of feel the same way about Saw, Hostel, and above all else, James Bond. what shitfests.

James Bond.

OHHHHTHEPAIN

Hey! :fuzmad:

Did you see a different film? While not a complete festering turd, it wasn't good.

OANST 11-20-2008 06:12 AM

I've been watching Summer Heights High. I know we have some Australians in the house and I'd like to get their take on it. So far, it's been mildly entertaining.

Laser 11-20-2008 08:22 AM

James Bond can't be as good as Jason Bourne

mudling 11-20-2008 10:27 AM

Yeah heard about it being shown over there (Somer heights heigh)
You may not get it all since it has alot to do with Australian humour, and our culture.

We loved it over here, expecially at school, sure adults and the like liked it, but that was from remincising, it was the youth that were experiancing it that got the biggest kick out of it I reckon, so you may not like it that much for that reason aswell.
But we had Jonah impersonations everywhere. Dicktatorship is still all over the walls, and don't get me started about J'amie.
Alot of drama teachers happen to be Mr and Mrs G's around here, coincidently aswell.
The first one is basically how they all are, so if you don't like that one much, you won't like the rest of the series much either.

I only watched bits of it and thought it was too stupid for words. Still, interesting to hear your take on such an Australian show.

I've only seen the first two episodes and I'm just not sure what the point is, yet. I haven't been able to figure out what the agenda of the show is or even if it has one.

Nate 11-23-2008 03:24 AM

Just watched Speed Racer (the movie) again. It comes out on DVD in two weeks but I actually couldn't wait; I had such a strong urge to watch it that I downloaded it last night.

I am not ashamed to say that it is the only movie in years that has made me cry. Well... not actually cry but I definately had a little bit of welling in the eyes. Fantastic.

Also: you will probably hate it.

Facsimile 11-23-2008 03:30 AM

I haven't seen Summer Heights High, but I enjoyed We Can Be Heroes. Unfortunately all the quotes I've heard people say from SHH have made me cringe, so I don't see me ever checking it out.

I watched Idiocracy last night.
What a stupid movie.

OANST 11-24-2008 06:32 AM

I watched another episode of Summer Heights High last night and I have made a decision about the show. It's moronic. My brain started making buzzing noises at one point.

I also saw Zack and Miri Make a Porno. I did not like it. It was predictable, cliche, and written by Kevin Smith. What's to like?

Kimon 11-24-2008 11:47 AM

Hey, Kevin Smith used to be good.

Kevin Smith used to be mediocre. Now he's just bad. Really bad.

I want to see it just for the Ryoga piglet key chain a character is reported to have.

*googles*

Oh, yeah. It flies out of one of the ninjas' pocket whilst being spun around Pops' head, along with several shurikens and his car keys.


He wasn't a very good ninja, as ninjas go.
