A few films recently watched.

something tells me you're an avid user of those bags in essines thread..

thor - 7/10

i loved all the asgard over the top, sensory overload cgi shit, it was quite imaginative. the earth stuff was weak, all those tired pop-culture references..still, good ol' hollywood fun, definitely worth a BRrip download.

fun stuff

I'm watching it right now. Asian people in Asgard? lol

Thor

Entertaining but also quite silly and it sort of shits all over the Nordic Mythology. But I guess that it's based on the comic more than the actual mythology.

Pros:

Kat Dennings - I want to bury my head in her bosom.

Natalie Portman

Kat Dennings

Stellan Skarsgård

Lolz:

Rene Russo?!

His beard? It's so... yellow?

Loki sucked ass.

And what's this? Thor falls in love with Natalie Portman? Ok... but Thor was married to Sif... huh?

From my review...

  Quote

The final line of the film completes the puzzle. The real disasters aren't the natural ones, they're the ones caused by people assenting to participate in a mutual delusion (credit, shares, religion, hatred, environmental fear, nuclear fear, vaccination fear, etc)

So I guess not.

But I still hate Israel so you can still feel all internet ragey at me if you want.

i didn't challenge your interpretation of the film i haven't seen myself (though i really want to, shotgun stories was good).

Hell yeah my gay style squashed nigga, that show is hilarious.

Mystery Men- 8/10

Goofy Ben Stiller movie about misfit superheroes with really derp powers.

half nelson 7/10

went back and watch shaun of the dead. 10/10 classic. then went back even more and watched spaced. much better. A*/10 maybe asylum is even better as its earlier still..anyone seen? and what happened to jessica stevenson, she wrote spaced then disappeared except for a bit part in shaunofthedead...?

6.5/10

Beautiful movie considering its low budget, sounded awesome on speakers, unfortunately it lacked in character development and some other shit.

Loki was the best part of Thor!

Nosferatu (Werner Herzog)

This is an homage to one of his favorite films, it is OK. Really liked the rats and whenever Kinski is attacking the couple.

Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe (Les Blank)

The coolest man on planet Earth eats his shoe. 20 minutes.

Paris is Burning (Jennie Livingston)

New York gay scene in the late 80's. Poignant and life-affirming. I want every single song in the soundtrack.

Sans Soleil (Chris Marker)

Next level awesome meditation on memory, travel, cats, Japan, video synth art, Vertigo, politics and lots of other stuff.

nosferatu is actually a brilliant movie. incredibly subtle and adept in its way of creating a stylistic bridge with the previous period of great german cinema, while moving it forward at the same time - use of popol vuh, kinski being a classic murnau "vampire" but then being himself i.e. batshit insane.

possibly my fav non-documentary of his. even dwarfs comes close haha

A Life Less Ordinary - 5/10. Had it's charms but was generally a mess. Would have gotten a slightly higher score if not for the really hackneyed, middle school essay style summation at the end. Awful.

yeah disappointing that one

I'm not familiar with the Murnau film, which may explain why I missed the subtleties but a lot of my favorite scenes looked so iconic I'm sure they must refer to the original. I have the dwarfs film on que, really interested in that one too.

jabberwocky: lush terry gilliam from '77, about the real baron m., he who pulled himself up from out of the swamp by his own bootstraps.

rating: PFG

Is a Thor BR rip floating around right now? I watched a telesync version of it and i was actually surprised how much of it worked for me. It's the only one of the Marvel films i've seen that i would gladly re-watch

final destination 3 just randomly on tv fun but i seen it like 3 times 5/10 hope to catch the new one when it comes out its a bit derpy but fun non-the less

in fact the whole fright night that channel 4 has been putting on has been quite good 8/10 cant name a single film off the top of my head, there was some weird australian film which was crazy fun.

Thor 7/10 better than some marvel films, just need watch captin America now and I'm all set for the avengers

Submarine 5/10 hmmm billed as the best brit comedy in years.... It wasn't

The inbetweeners movie, 7.5/10 a fair few lol moments to be had

That's my weekend of films, dirty Harry saga this week

I watched fargo again last night and remembered why i love william h macy.

"Wade, it's Jean...ahhh geez..."

(Rise of the plannet of the apes)

It was a better movie than what I first thought.

mst3k: laser blast

while drunk

10/10
