I’ve Just Seen… II -

MA · #**241** 11-05-2009, 10:38 AM

just watched the last episode of The Last Voices Of World War 1. tell you what, i hadn't even seen all the episodes previous, but it fucking got me right here, especially listening to the veterans talking about their experiences themselves.

then the credits rolled, and it showed every single one of those chaps pictures, naming the year they died. they all died. hit me like a fucking brick, and i'm not ashamed to admit i actually got teared up. i should have seen it coming.

incredible stuff.

War films in which the veterans appear are almost invariably tear - jerkers.

I remember watching Comic Relief on Red Nose Day in 2005, when they sent someone (it might have been Dermot O'Leary) to Africa to present his video on some disease over there (It was a long time ago, forgive me.) We saw the treatment facility showing everyone there who couldn't be cured because they couldn't afford the 20 pence medicine... And the nurses seemed so full of life. All of them did. Then at the end of the video it showed all the nurses there had now died.

Yeah, it rather shocked the 12 year old me.

THIS IS THE ANIMATED SHORT IT'S BASED ON

Sekto Springs · #**245** 11-05-2009, 04:13 PM

Thanks for that, DI. Fuckin loved it.

Disgruntled Intern · #**246** 11-05-2009, 04:32 PM

It's tempting to post a few of my treasured animated shorts in the Bits and Pieces thread, but I'm a selfish fuck.

ha.

I don't want to see Trick 'R Treat because I was such a fan of the animated short it's based on when I was younger. I don't care if the same guy made the movie, it sounds like balls. Cocks and balls.

Wikipedia implies that it's not so much based on Seasons Greetings as inspired by, with totally new Halloween-themed stories.

Disgruntled Intern · #**248** 11-05-2009, 09:24 PM

Nate, what the fuck? Am I experiencing your smarmy attempt at trolling, or am I just sensitive because my pregnant wife is hormonal and mean? You tell me.

***Nate*** · #**249** 11-05-2009, 10:06 PM

I'm guessing the latter. I was just trying to be helpful and reassure you that it's probably not going to be as shit as you imagine.

Rented Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Yes, this plot is shit-tastic.
Yes, some of the acting is REALLY bad.
But the big giant robots are stompy and cool to look at, so who gives a fuck?

Also Sub/Dom Starscream and Megatron rowr.

Just watched the animated short the kid looks so innocent

loved the ending.

I just saw a wonderful advert for Tesco's Christmas deals. Had Tesco set in the Victorian ages.

Then it completely ruined itself by having the Victorian man waking up in modern day to reveal his experience of a Victorian Christmas with Tesco's products was all a dream.

Simon's Cat. I have the same problems.

Jetfire was the only redeeming factor in that pissheap. Also Demolishor and Long Haul, because they have the best fucking design ever.

Anyway, I saw Land of the Lost. It was unbelievably fun and I had to watch the tail sliding part like 4 times.

OANST · #**255** 11-07-2009, 07:15 AM

I've been watching reruns of Lost in Space. You gotta love Dr. Smith.

I can't believe I forgot about an animated short series me and my sister used to watch online: Happy Tree Friends (don't be fooled by the name).

Sekto Springs · #**257** 11-07-2009, 03:55 PM

Gee, only everyone and their mother knows what Happy Tree Friends is. Also, it's not funny.

Mac Sirloin · #**258** 11-07-2009, 06:53 PM

It was funny. It had an amusing concept but pooped itself out pretty quickly by just being the same thing over and over.

Around the World in 80 Days with Jackie Chan.

I feel embarrassed for liking it so much.

used:) · #**260** 11-07-2009, 07:14 PM

GIVE ME THE JADE BUDDHA. That was a recurring line between me and my brothers after we saw it.

Umm.

...

Yeah, I've seen nothing lately.

Josh · #**261** 11-08-2009, 04:32 AM

Coraline. I love the bat-dogs.

abe is now! · #**262** 11-08-2009, 04:45 AM

Yesterday night I watched an old movie, The 13th Warrior and I liked it... I found the Eaters of the Dead wonderful

Steve Coogan. Awesomely British and Britishly awesome.

Leto · #**264** 11-09-2009, 01:02 AM

steve coogan really sold out huh

bring back partridge

MarsMudoken · #**265** 11-09-2009, 01:13 AM

I've seen Marley and Me (cried), a bit of Mars Attacks (funny), and Up (screw you).
Where the wild things are, my mom would read to me as a kid. Tropic thunder sounds good but I don't think I'll ever watch it.

OANST · #**266** 11-09-2009, 07:17 AM

Don't you dare talk bad about Up. It was no Wall-E, true. But it was still fantastic.

MA · #**267** 11-09-2009, 07:49 AM

still wanna see Up.

give it a few years.

OANST · #**268** 11-09-2009, 08:08 AM

I saw Ed, Edd, and Eddy's Big Picture Show, last night. Loved it. Fantastic ending to the show.

I would go and see it if only, if only, you could opt to see it not in 3D. I know that Up uses the 3D system with more subtlety than most, but I still tend to find 3D distracting.

You mean they've still been making episodes? Fuck, I hate it when I take for granted the blatant, long-lasting existance of something great.
