L/H White Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Watching Django tomorrow, a little excited Quote
Gonk Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Django was v.good. Just watched Cleanskin - not sure what to make of it. Â Name drop. I know one of the co-producers David Sumnall. He filmed and produced Johnny Wilkinson's fly on the wall documentary too. Edited January 29, 2013 by Gonk Quote
no balls Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Just watched Skyfall. Harmless fun. Â Though the Chinese person who did the subtitles needs to go on another English course. Quote

Â Sounds like you need a better source. Â Anyway, got Dredd ready to go. From the trailer, as said above, looks like a huge rip-off of The Raid ... but if it's half as good I'll be happy enough.

Casino Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 you watched les miserables, spazmong? Â you really must Quote
DazBob Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 you watched les miserables, spazmong?  you really must  Someone's trying to talk me into it but I'm having none of it. I just really can't abide musicals. The whole singing instead of speaking thing does my crust in ... and I'm thinking that might be a slight problem.  Are you saying I should just bite the bullet?

They're good ones from my 'source', no walking across the front of the camcorder on these Quote

little whitt Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Yesterday i watched  Gangester squad 6/10  Django 8/10  cleanskin 5/10   TODAY i watched  Zero dark thirty 5/10 bit long Quote
stevieb Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Watching les mis whilst cooking tea. Decent so far. Was not expecting to enjoy it. Â #lavender Quote
jeep Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 When I was 30 I got took to New York city - watched Les Miserables on/off Broadway. Â It was shite. Â Carry on..... Quote
L/H White Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Django was really really good 9/10 Â How many times was the, N word used, must be a record. Quote
Maggie Tate Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 You get more use of the word nigger before the first lot of adverts in any episode of The Wire. I give Django 7.5 out of 10. Hugely entertaining but a shame that every mis-step in it is due to Tarantino's self indulgence. Someone needs to reign him in a bit. Quote

Hugely entertaining but a shame that every mis-step in it is due to Tarantino's self indulgence. Someone needs to reign him in a bit.  that was pretty much where I'm at  it's good, but seen it all before with him  and I think he was on course for a 4/5 hour epic, but rather than end up with another Kill Bill 2 volume affair   he decided that Waltz would shoot Dicaprio, totally out of character to the rest of the film, then rushed the rest of it including the scene with his dodgy australian accent, and just finished off with a shoot off, the last 45 mins or whatever seem to just want to wrap up the film too quickly   that said, I watched it twice to come to that conclusion, it's very watchable Quote
DazBob Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Isn;t that what Tarantino does though? Build the tension for a long, long time and then there's just a sudden, almost out-of-the-blue bloodfest? Â I certainly wouldn't say that he needs reigning in or is self-indulgent. I'd say that's just 'what he does'. Quote
Maggie Tate Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 No. The self indulgence in Kill Bill 2 and Inglorious Basterds was in the form of painful and pointless scenes of never ending plodding dialogue. The bar scene with Fassbender in Inglorious is at least three times longer than it needs to be and Kill Bill 2 should have been an hour shorter and incorporated into the outstanding first film. That Death Proof dross was COMPLETE self indulgence, as is his cameo in this one, which ranks as one of the all time worst. Quote

kaydan Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Agreed - you go back to Reservoir Dogs and its lean as fuck. 99 minutes and not one of them wasted. Every film since has been self-indulgent to a certain extent. I'm a fan, but it annoys me what some of his films could have been. Quote
DazBob Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Hark at all the budding writers/directors who could do a better job Quote
barryk32 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Wreck it Ralph. Â One to watch with the kids, or without because it was really really good. Â 8/10. Â Quote
Danny G Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 the Haunting in Connecticut 2- Shit The House at the end of the street- Shit  There doesnt seem to be any half decent, horrors out at the moment.   I have Skyfall and Django to watch later Quote
Carlos Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I am watching Zero Dark 30. Pretty much the same as Homeland so far. Quote
