Watched MicMacs last night, if you enjoyed delicatessen then you'd love this, worth putting up with the subtitles. :)
The Fountain [Blu-ray]

I don't think I could easily describe this film. It isn't SF and neither is it fantasy, but something in between. There is little storyline but it is an experience. Quite mesmerising and nothing like any other film I've ever seen. If you're game (and many will not be), then immerse yourself in the wonderful concepts, lush visuals and sympathetic score and just let it wash over you. The emotional intensity is quite something, if you see it through.
I watched that when it first came out, have to say I thought it tired to hard to be weird
not my cup of tea.
I shall just watch the London riots in HD on Sky News
I had to watch it three time to make any real sense of it. :scratch: Think I managed in the end; it's a rather good film and worth the effort.Quote:

Just like there are certain music albums you keep going back to there are certain films/documentaries... Here's one - Trinity & Beyond:The Atomic Bomb Movie... You need big speakers or subs :eyebrows:
Bring on the big bangs :eek: Attachment 5074
Goodnight, off to let it rip :cool:
Jeez, why do online sites keep changing everything? :scratch:
South Pacific, not what it says here! Same program though. Absolutely beautiful blu ray, one of my favourites i keep coming back to - thoroughly recommended ;)
Have fun seeing as it's the weekend :eyebrows:
Avatar, the extended edition... I'm already messed so i doubt i'll see the end of this :eyebrows:
On the PJ, 120" screen :eyebrows:
Don't ask me about it tomorrow, i won't remember :lol: It's about being happy now innit? Or maybe i ought to go & riot...
Quatermass 2 on BBC 4 02.20 - bit late but thanks to new fangled technology it can be 'taped':eyebrows:
I know the first two are a bit girly, but over the weekend I watched Notting Hill, Grease, ok pee taking stops..:lolsign:... Batman Begins, and Collateral Damage
I've now watched it, Tim, and it was superb and disturbing and made for some very uncomfortable viewing. Brilliantly portrayed and acted, with lots of original bugging equipment used by the Stasi. The very idea that such a regime survived on everyone spying on everyone else, with 'Big Brother' watching over it all, was conveyed with fantastic claustraphobia. What an awful place East Germany was, and how good that it finally crumbled.Quote:

My pleasure Martin, films of that calibre deserve recognition and its a mystery to me why so many people dismiss foreign language films. Really glad you enjoyed it.Quote:

This film is a cult classic. It has many faults and the look of something that was hurriedly edited, but it's a Michael Mann film, and therefore something of interest. He is up there with Ridley Scott and Stanley Kubrick, in my estimation, for his cinematic vision. The soundtrack is by Tangerine Dream, the other good reason for watching it.
It's set in Romania during the second world war, where German soldiers move in to a mysterious Keep as a base for their operations, a move that they will come to regret. Something is in there, and it's not nice. It stars Scott Glenn and Jurgen Prochnow, and there's an early role for Gabriel Byrne.
The biggest problem you may have is actually getting hold of it - I am not aware of it ever having been released on DVD, certainly not on Blu-ray. It only seems to have been released on US VHS and Laserdisc.
This film desperately needs cut material restored to make full sense of the story, but I doubt that it will ever receive that much attention.
The Land That Time Forgot (1975)
Oooh, Doug Mcclure, the ham man himself :eyebrows:
Fun though, sure i have that on DVD Andr'e :)
Andr'e, you might be able to help here if you know a few movies starring Doug Mcclure ;)
Seeing as you kind of reminded me i checked IMDB & i couldn't find what i was looking for RE Mr Mcclure :scratch:
I'm just about 100% sure he starred in a film that involved him on the run from some rich guy that wanted his blood, not because he wanted to kill him - but it'd make the rich bloke immortal ;) Apparently Mcclures' character never got ill & if i remember correctly he had a brother, though i'm not sure what happened to him :scratch:
Been after this for years & i can't find a damn thing about it :rolleyes:
I can't remember when i saw it, but it must be pre 1990 - possibly a lot earlier...
I just don't know why i can't find it on IMDB :scratch:
Can you remember if Roy Scheider was it Mark?
No, i only remember the hammy one :eyebrows:
Muhahahaha...... Now that sounds right up my street! :eyebrows:Quote:

I'm pretty sure Andr'e, though i'm not 100% on it. If it wasn't Mcclure then it was his twin, though i could be wrong...Quote:

I'm sure i was a kid, so pre 82 i reckon :confused:
I have been known to be a country mile out previously though ;) Fcuk :lolsign:
Noted, dude. The more brutal and psychologically disturbing the better, hehe... I worry about what goes on in my head sometimes! :eyebrows:Quote:

"Falling down" (also with Douglas) is more brutal & psychologically disturbing than "the Game" imho. ;)Quote:

Paul from Blu Ray
excellent film
Watched 'The Lives of Others' last night on blu-ray, projector, DTS 5.1...
A magnificent film, well worth watching despite the subtitles.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405094/
A very involving insight into the dubious practices of the Stasi in 1984 DDR, with a gripping storyline ;)
Superb, isn't it? Tim pointed me to it and I found it fascinating, particularly as I was in Berlin last week and toured the East side, visiting the ex-Stasi HQ and other parts near the wall. An incredibly oppressive regime.Quote:

I love Berlin , great city .
We certainly saw the Russian embassy. Unfortunately there wasn't time for the sex museum, although Ruth has been there previously(!) As for drinking and friendliness, we did enjoy ourselves.
It is a great city, but not a pretty one. The 1960/70s rebuilding did them no favours at all.
Did somebody say sex museum? :eyebrows:Quote:

Just watched The Final Destination the 2009 made for 3D "gruesome accident fest" - complete nonsense but thoroughly enjoyable too, if I hadn't been eating a kebab with lots of ketchup... :spew: :)
Cropedy festival on Sky Arts HD...Seasick Steve at the mo - good sound:cool:
Just about to watch one of the the best ever films Attachment 5239. Only a DVD though, damn it's still good :lol:
When (i'm hoping fingers crossed) this comes out on blu ray i'll be there to buy it straight away ;)
Runaway Train....
Voights' best performance imo, just freaking unreal & i love it...PJ on, looking out for those burning out brakes :eyebrows:
It's gonna kill me, but it's well worth it :cool: All the best to all of you out there!
