i seriously had to do that martin had i known it would be that horrible

 

[Buck Fuddy]

Stop-Loss - War is horrible, as are it's consequenses. Who would've thunk it? Pretty decent movie, but nothing special.


Also rewatched one of my recent favourites: Juno. The cast in that one is just pitch perfect. "Being pregnant makes me pee like Seabiscuit."

That's the hardcore gay porn version of Super Troopers, right?

yeah man, have you seen it? its fucking epic.

 

[Buck Fuddy]

I wouldn't call it epic.
Sure, the action scenes are great & the photography makes you feel like you're in the room with these guys, but I feel that the, so called, metaphores are a bit too obvious. It also could have done with a little more humour imho.

you read too much from your gay porn.

Just got back from my 'Repo Man' screening. Funny film, bit weird, i can see why its a cult film.

Mesrine?

 

[Osman]

Yep, Mesrine, like Cassel (though he is inconsistent) and his style, so rented it randomly. Was nice. A rare supporting role of Depardieau too, one of my old school favs, who is sadly semi-retiring from acting.

Paranormal Activity - wasn't scary at all, what the fuck was so great about it?

 

[Buck Fuddy]

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane - Mediocre horror thriller. We've seen it all before, in both better & worse films. As for Mandy Lane: I'd probably love her too ...

Mark Kermode enjoyed it as an good example of 'Hormonal Horror' i was wondering whether you thought it was a better example of this genre, not of the horror genre at large.

Iirc its a 'found footage' film? I hate that genre and i think it out stayed its welcome after the Blair Witch Project. Especially after JJ Abrams murdered it with that awful film 'Cloverfield'

I don't know who Kermode is and never really heard of "Hormonal Horror" till now, but I could definitely see where he's coming from.
After all, it is (a slasher movie) about a bunch of teenage guys who want to get with a particular girl from school. Definitely a lot of typical teenage behaviour in this one: truth or dare games, exploring sex, bullying, ...
So yeah, it's a good example of that genre, much more so than it is an example of the horror genre at large.

The thing I respect about Kermode is that as much as he trashes QT, he does give him props deserved (Jackie Brown). He's generally balanced.

I do consider myself to be somewhat of a Tarantino fan, yeah.

Reservoir Dogs may not be a great movie, objectively speaking, but I still love it.
Both Pulp Fiction & Jackie Brown were brilliant.
Kill Bill 1 was quite good, vol 2 wasn't all that. Would have been better as 1 (shorter) movie anyway.
Death Proof was mediocre at best, somewhat of a snoozefest.
Four Rooms was quite bad, his bit included.

Edit: Haven't seen Basterds yet.

 

[Ford Prefect]

i love Res and Pulp and Jackie and the rest not so much, death proof was mediocre and boring, i hadnt seen it when i bought and i regret wasting the money. Inglourious was alright, better than KB and death proof but still nowhere near how good he can be.
