Last Film You Saw

#341

I fucking loved im3. Dat credits music.

It dared to be genuinely goofy which is refreshing as fuck. It’s a great palette cleanser after the last few movies which as much as I loved they started to take themselves too seriously.

L-Looper?

Really?

You must not know what gratuitous violence actually is.

I hope he never touches a Grand Theft Auto game in his life.

I got to see looper free of charge (pretty much most movies, actually) but the dorkus in the box office was like A GUYE BLOWS UP IN THAT MOVIE and handed me the little showing times picture for Dredd as a token of apology for spoiling it

Looper was violent in that people got shot off the fuckin screen but there wasn’t really any blood. About as violent as a T rated game where only the aliens and shit can bleed and still usually dont

#344

The only violent part of Looper, was the dude’s make up. His eyebrows twisted my stomach into a knot.

#345

Hackers.

Very good. The technobabble is quite funny, as with their whole represenation of the Internet and all. Very good soundtrack too; Prodigy, Underworld, Kruder and Dorfmeister and more.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

I didn’t know the movie existed until the director was announced as the director of Iron Man 3. Finally caught it about ten minutes in this afternoon, and that is the most I can hope for lately, so I watched it. I had no idea where it was going, and that was good. I was pretty sure everyone was going to die, but they didn’t, and that was good too.

Madagascar 3

Enjoyable end to the ridiculous trilogy. It was fun, even if completely unbelievable.

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror. The original silent from 1922.

I don’t know why I watched it, I’ve just been in an ‘old movie/music-phase’ for some weeks now. For being from the age of silent films, the special effects are quite good.

#348

Which version did you watch? There’s like 20 and all have different musical scores

#349

The Kino DVD version, according to the .txt that followed with the torrent.

EDIT: Went back and watched the credits, it’s the version restored by Luciano Berriatúa and with muscial score reconstruction by Berndt Heller perfomed by Saarbrücken Radio Symphony Orchestra.

Iron Man 3.

I think that it was an excellent superhero movie, at the very least.

I wonder how many of those suits were references to the comics?

#351

Miss March. Hilarious.

#352

Star Trek: Into Darkness. Kind of disappointing. I didn’t exactly dislike it, but I was hoping for something more. It just…I don’t know, it feels like a lot is going on, but nothing really happens, if that makes sense. Everything happens so quickly, but it doesn’t give you a chance to really process one thing before moving on to the next, so it kind of feels like nothing much really happened, just a lot of rushing around and almost dying all the time. Also the whole setup is pretty obvious and the surprises aren’t very surprising, especially if you know your Star Trek.

#353

If you haven’t already, watch Metropolis.

#354

yepp or other of Fritz Langs, F.W. Munau or Wiene’s classic silent movies…

b2t: The new Evil Dead… kinda meh. I really love the original, the new one has tons of stage blood and gore, but is as exciting as a walk in the park: you enjoy it if you haven’t been to the park for a long time, but you aren’t to crazy about it too. I think I’ve seen everything gore related there is, so these scenes don’t shock me but rather amuse me. If done right, a horror movie can still frighten me, even the gore effects, but here they were plain boring and overused. The cast sucked ass, the drug-twist in the story seemed insincere and demon Mia was also more funny / annoying than frightening but it was still a solid movie.

#355

I’ve heard that they’re (the original makers of Evil Dead–the Raimis, Bruce Campbell, et al) are making a sequel to Army of Darkness. If the rumors are true, it appears that they’ll continue from the “slept too long” ending which Sam allegedly prefers. Also, if true, I can’t wait! :smiley:

#356

Army of Darkness was glorious.

#357

I’ve actually been meaning to check out that film. Is it on YouTube?

#358

probably but theresa bunch of different versions at different levels of restoration and length cuz occasionally they find another bit of it that was missing and stick it back in. Also check out fritz langs M which is a talkie and imo the raddest film he made

#359

This should be the most recently restored version. It was filmed at the premiere of it in Germany recently but it’s a very good copy. There are three parts.

Edit: Just noticed it’s not available in HD. The same version is available on Youtube (in HD I would guess) for $4 if you care that much about that thing. Or you could download it from somewhere else. It was recently rereleased on bluray as well so you could rent it.

Dark City

I was planning on watching the DVD this weekend, but it was on TV last night, so I don’t have to now :stuck_out_tongue:

It is from before the CGI boom of the early 2000s where practical effects were tossed out the window. There is some CGI, but not much. I wonder how they did the effects of the buildings being formed out of nothing. It was visually so out of the norm, and I love the movie. It has some pacing issues, and Keefer Sutherland’s vocal paterns are annoying, but still very well done.
