The GF wanted to turn it off after 5 minutes.

Consider dumping her? The thing that annoyed you happened at the end. What the hell happened at the start that made her want to turn it off?

Retarded statements like that annoy me.

And fwiw, I thought it was okay, 7/10. Didn't think Casey Affleck was 100% suited to the role however.

Easy on the personal insults there Vamoose, it's a movie. I thought it was crap. I'm sorry that my personal likes and dislikes have such a profound effect on you. I don't like risotto either, so there.

Love how you get all upset when someone says your statement is retarded yet it's okay for you to spout stuff like "If anyone makes you watch it, kill them". One of the most idiotic things I've read on here in a while and that's saying something.

Recently watched the following:

Dead Man's Shoes 8/10
Before Sunrise 8/10
Before Sunset 8/10
Eden Lake 6/10
Vertigo 7/10
Russia 88 3/10

Sleipnir · 18-02-2009, 09:54

I'm not upset man, it's a long time since some newbie has upset me on boards.
I will consider dumping my girlfriend of 8 years because she didn't like a movie. Yah, I don't think suggestions come any more retarded than that.

Anyway, saw "Hostel" last night and that was crap too. Lot's of gore but just not scary. Didn't care what happened to the characters either. I only got it because they made a second one so the first one must have been good. I'll admit that was retarded.

Vamoose Killers · 18-02-2009, 10:02

Enjoyed Hostel but part II was rubbish. Wasn't billed as being scary.

Tbh I don't give a **** about your personal life so best leave it out of your posts, or if you're that desperate to post it, wrap spoiler tags around it so I don't have to read it. Thanks.

Last few films I've watched:

Chocolate
The Fall
Benjamin Button
Rendition
The Wrestler
Street Kings

NedTermo · 18-02-2009, 10:13

Last few:

The Wrestler - Probably enough said about it on here, good stuff.

Eagle vs Shark - Quirkly little Australian movie (similar comedic style to Napoleon Dynamite, if you've never seen a grown man beat another grown man in a wheelchair with nunchucks then this is for you)

Half Nelson - Great performances from the main actors, good story too, little different. Good for a change of pace.

godspal · 18-02-2009, 10:59

watched "12 Angry Men" and "The Pianist"

12 Angry Men was some flick... Very well put together, and so engaging.

The Pianist however was not as good as I thought it would be... Hated the dialogue at the start, really cheesy and insincere. The rest of the film was pretty good but I really despised Adrian Brophy's character. I don't know if we are suppose to feel sympathy for him as Spoiler: he weaseled himself out of any situation where he would die while watching toe he love being sent to their deaths. It just irritated that he didn't die, especially at the ending. Or at the very least stand up for his people. What a coward!

Jacob's Ladder - Finally got around to watching it, and absolutely adored it! Love the "devils tearing your life away" monologue

Rise of a footsoldier - great stuff if you like violent gang movies

kaimera · 18-02-2009, 12:25

blazing saddles yesterday.

started Star Wars - A New Hope but wasn't in the mood.

Robin Hood - Men In Tights / Princess Bride / Goldmember / Che all in the last week or so.

Haven't been in that much of a film mood so started Dexter instead!

paddyb125 · 18-02-2009, 12:32

Revolutionary Road - Bit of a drag in places but its as rewarding as it is tough going. Brilliant acting.

Nick and Norah's Infinate Playlist - Pretty terrible film which I was glad to see finish.

Gone Baby Gone - Absolutely amazing, maybe Ben Affleck can be taken seriously now!
