EDIT: Speedy shits.

I watched half of the first episode before I turned it off in disgust.

I can see how you don't like it. It's SO unrealistic, It's over dramatic as fuck and overly gory. Plus they do just see how many sex scenes they can fit in a episode.

Also the mix of old and new language is just so funny at times "Jupiter's Cock" and "Stick Cock up Arse".

But. I still like it

The most unfortunate thing about Vengeance is the lack of John Hannah. He was pretty much my main reason for sticking with the first season.

Crashpunk · #**994** 02-29-2012, 03:21 PM

I think the lack of Andy Whitfield is more waay unfortunate.

RIP.

Snatch.

"Sounds like hostility, doesn't it John".
"And we don't like hostility, do we Errol"?
"No, We don't John".

Watched Trainspotting and Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.

Both are great, very funny movies, for completely different reasons. Recommend both.

Oh, Trollhunter.

Like blair witch with trolls. Yup. It's really well done.

Dynamithix · #**998** 03-01-2012, 10:49 AM

It is really good and the ending leaves the whole thing a bit open.

Nepsotic · #**999** 03-02-2012, 07:33 AM

Shrooms, like a badly done Blair Witch, many people like it, i just think its boring, like the Blair Witch Project itself

Crashpunk · #**1000** 03-02-2012, 08:25 AM

Watched The Clockwork Orange today in Media.

It was a good film but holy fuck it was messed up. I've never been so freaked out by a film in my life.

Is that the sequel to A Clockwork Orange?

Crashpunk · #**1002** 03-02-2012, 09:02 AM

...Well pointed out. God fucking damn it.

Whatever, you knew what I mean.

Mr. Bungle · #**1003** 03-02-2012, 01:04 PM

A Clockwork Orange is a crazy movie. I really need to rewatch it (possibly while intoxicated) to really understand what's going on. Awesome movie, though.

i've seen that. can't remember what actually happens though. i think it was shit.

sheridanm962 · #**1005** 03-04-2012, 02:33 AM

I hate the Blair Bitch Project.

MA · #**1006** 03-04-2012, 03:58 AM

to be honest i didn't mind the Blair Witch Project. i think the hype at the time was too big so it's mediocrity let everyone down. on it's own, i thought it was an alright film.

Dynamithix · #**1007** 03-04-2012, 04:35 AM

It was boring as hell that's what it was. The sequel was one of the worst films I've ever seen.

shaman · #**1008** 03-04-2012, 05:36 AM

City Of God. Wow. I forgot how much i adore that movie, it's a fabulous whirlwind of drugs and shootings.

It's also based on a true story, which makes me sad.

Dynamithix · #**1009** 03-04-2012, 06:21 AM

I've been planning on watching that movie for a while now. I've been actually making a list of classic/great movies that I should watch. Currently, I have these on the list:

- Fight Club
- Irreversible (Don't know if I can watch it from what I've heard of the rape scene)
- Requiem of a Dream
- Reservoir Dogs
- Memento
- Donnie Darko

If someone would like to request something, I'll be sure to add it to the list and watch it later on.

MeechMunchie · #**1010** 03-04-2012, 06:45 AM

Memento and Donnie Darko are heavily overrated. Just saiyan.

Wasn't The Prestige on that list a while ago?

The Beatles are the most overrated band in the world. Doesn't stop them from being good.

MeechMunchie · #**1012** 03-04-2012, 07:08 AM

I never said either of those films were bad. Presumably he's forming this list from how big these films' individual hype is.

Though I will now say that Donnie Darko was indeed a very bad film.

Wings of Fire · #**1013** 03-04-2012, 07:09 AM

You are crazy. Donnie Darko was a very good film.

Dynamithix · #**1014** 03-04-2012, 07:12 AM

So I'll start with Donnie Darko then. I want to know which one of you is right.

Wings of Fire · #**1015** 03-04-2012, 07:15 AM

The plot is highly entertaining stupidity, but the dialogue is absolutely masterful.

MeechMunchie · #**1016** 03-04-2012, 07:16 AM

Appropriately enough, I'm getting deja vu. We've had this discussion before.

I'm sorry, but any film that concludes that the events you just watched never happened or even mattered is stupid. It's no better than 'It was all a dream'.

EDIT: Okay, speedy shits. So me and WoF agree. It just seems we prioritise structure and style inversely.

Memento is a damn good film, and is a great example of how to make a mystery plot with great twists.

Wings of Fire · #**1018** 03-04-2012, 07:25 AM

Also it's one of the only times I've ever seen amnesia used as a plot device that didn't make me want to claw my eyes out.

Not just as a psychologist, as a viewer. Amnesia is a bullshit and stupid plot device and I hate it.

MeechMunchie · #**1019** 03-04-2012, 07:58 AM

I thought it was gimmicky. Without the shuffled continuity there's nothing to like. Acting, average, writing, average, camerawork, average. You get the idea.

It's a one-trick pony. If it was the only pony that could do that trick, I'd be interested, but it isn't, so I'm not.

Wings of Fire · #**1020** 03-04-2012, 08:40 AM

You cannot critique the writing independently of the 'gimmick'. They are intrinsically linked.
