Thanks for the friend request gaveecho. We have very different top tens, but I see that we both like Taxi Driver, The Dark Knight, The Gofather, Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas and plenty more I'm sure. Don't hesitate for a recommendation if you wish, and I will gladly take any also. From your top ten, I haven't seen Tokyo Story, I need to get on that!

Seven Samurai is great. It's one of the only few movies on my top 10 that has stayed consistent since I saw it for the first time. It feels so modern for being a 50's film.

Glad you liked it. You should definitely watch next two Indiana Jones as well. The fourth, though I don't find as bad as they say, may be a disappointment for you.

As I said before, don't hesitate to ask for a recommendation. They don't even have to be masterpieces. I have some cult classics and hidden gems up my sleeve also. :)

The first time I saw SS, I swore I thought I was going to hate it because of its length, it's in black and white, etc. I think it was the film that helped me cross the line in that I can sit through pretty much anything now without complaining of the length; my movie ADHD is gone. I am one happy guy.

Barry Lyndon is phenomenal. It's one of Kubrick's lesser-known films, but I think it deserves more praise. I'm not sure how many other people see 'Lyndon' as their favorite Kubrick film, but it's definitely worth a watch to see if it'll become yours.

It's a bit lengthy but, like with Seven Samurai, the length doesn't matter. It sorta feels like you went on a journey with the characters. In my opinion, Barry Lyndon doesn't even feel like a Kubrick film; it's weird.

It's amazing, for all the wrong reasons. :) it's been awhile, but the scene where he went into the shop to buy something from that woman who tells him he's her favourite customer is one of the most awesomely bad things I've ever seen!

Imagine Daniel Day Lewis in The Room! Plus he has the lead instead of Tommy Wiseau, but he has to act like Tommy would, ha! He is a method actor after all.

My Left Foot is now one of my favourites of all time. I currently have it placed at #106, with a good chance it'll go up more. His performance is simply jaw dropping. I can't remember the last time I saw acting that good! The kid who played young Christy Brown is great also. Kicking his leg so he can desperately get down the stairs, trying hard to write to show he's smart, I felt the desperation. DDL has some great lines too. Like when he's after a light and says " I don't need a fookin' psychology lesson"

The one part that's debatable is the ending. I looked Christy Brown up, it wasn't exactly great between he and his wife if the stories are to be believed. I just wonder if they could of got another ending to work, or if they tried it would of ruined the rest of the film.

Ah, you're Irish, very cool. Every Irish person I've met is great. I would like to go to Ireland one day. My friend is Irish, he just moved back. He's Dustyfucker on my profile page. It looks like we're crazy, out of context. :) I'm an Aussie by the way.

I don't think I would be bored at all by Le Samourai. It's just a really hard movie to find. It was on YouTube for awhile, but only some of it worked.

Yeah, I love TDKR. I see the flaws, yet I still love it. I get drawn to a great villain in movies, that's why The Dark Knight is my number one, among other reasons of course. It took me some time to warm to Bane's voice, but now I love it. I love how everyone says he sounds like Sean Connery talking into a cup. :) I have a very weird complaint. They made a slight change to the line "when Gotham is ashes..... You have my permission to die" from the trailer that I wish they didn't. Hardly noticeable, but after the amount of times I saw the trailer and loved that part, I wished they kept it the same.

It's a tough film to sit through. I remember the first time I saw it that I started watching it at about 9 or 10 o'clock at night and didn't finish it until after midnight. I was so damn tired during it and I was tempted to turn it off half way and continue it the next day, but I pulled through and finished it. It was worth it in the end.

I've heard many great things about North by Northwest. I know how iconic it is too with those scenes with the airplane and the scenes on top of Mount Rushmore. I'll get around to watching it sometime soon. Thanks for the recommendation!

The films that I recommend for you is the rest of Kubrick's films that you haven't seen. Aside from Lyndon, those include: The Killing, Paths of Glory, Spartacus, Fear and Desire, Killer's Kiss, Day of the Fight, Flying Padre, and The Seafarers. You can easily find Fear and Desire, Day of the Fight, Flying Padre, and The Seafarers on YouTube (that's where I found them) and Killer's Kiss is available for streaming on Netflix (if you have Netflix).

This question is nothing to do with movies, and it'll proably sound weird. :) Do you also call muffins, buns. My Irish friend when he was here invited me over to his house. He said he was going to make buns, I thought, that's a bit strange, but oh well I'll put chicken in them. I turn up to a kitchen full of glorious muffins oozing mars bar pieces.

Pants is the one that I just can't get over. In my world, pants are pants, the whole length of your leg to your ankle. So what goes under pants unless you go commando? Yes UNDERpants! :) If something is going to be shortened, it should be underwear to undies. Unless that's what Irish call a sock. ;) Aussies probably have stupid words also, I guess. :)

Great! I'm really glad that you enjoyed Barry Lyndon. I'm still trying to find myself a copy of it on DVD somewhere. I'm also glad that you know about how Kubrick wanted to use candlelight for indoor scenes instead of key, back, and fill lights; the film is (mostly) well-known for doing this.

Yojimbo is one that I've been wanting to see since finishing Seven Samurai for the first time. Mifune played my favorite character in Seven Samurai and I'm looking forward to seeing what else he has to offer. I'll try and get around to watching it.

Night of the Hunter also sounds interesting. And since you said it reminds you of Lynch, then I'll definitely dig it even more. Thanks for the recommendations!

My top 2000 is pretty accurate, maybe close to 3000. My bottom 100 or so is accurate also. When I say accurate, some movies are in the wrong place, but it's within five or ten places, so it's still accurate enough for me. But if I get around to it, I change it. I keeping fixing my list all the time, mainly when I start ranking a new movie. If I spot a movie down too low, I make a mental note to go back and re-rank. Any movie that is newly added is the most accurate, except for a movie that features in my top 300 or so. Some fall through the cracks though. I got asked the other day why Requiem for a Dream was so low. I checked, and it was in the 2600, right in with some shitty movies. I don't love the movie, but it shouldn't of been that low. I moved it up about 700 places.

I just want to say that I just watched this film Dead Heat, which was a lot of fun. It's terrible really, but there's stuff in this movies that was hilarious! Very tongue-in-cheek. A zombie bank robbery, an attack of a zombie liver, pig, ducks and a bull carcass with no head or insides. :) There's a two-faced biker and a woman that ages right in front of you, which looked great with the practical effects and cgi, until they ruined it with unnecessary cgi on the head saying " I'm sorry" as it badly melted away. Oh, there's a great zombie shootout! Where the two are shooting at each other, but can't kill each other. It's in about eight sections on YouTube if you ever want to see it. It's right up there with Hell Comes to Frogtown for me. But Vampire's Kiss still is the king for such a movie in my opinion.

I won't say much about Side Effects because it's better not to know much. I did enjoy the social commentary on the world of prescription pills and the doctors who prescribe them. That's part of it, at least, anymore will be spoilers because you might read into what I say. It's about a 8/10 for me, but my brother-in-law gave it a 7/10. The Virgin Spring is great, well for me anyway. It starts slow, but it's laying down the groundwork for what happens later. It's about a 9/10 for me, if you want to see it, the whole movie is on YouTube.

Thank you for the compliments! Taxi Driver & Malkovich both made a strong impression on me, and I think they're superb on a number of levels. I was wondering if you could explain why Tokyo Story is in your top 10. I realize it's highly praised, which is why I watched it, but I was underwhelmed. I'd like to hear your perspective.

Oh yeah.... Oh, yeah. That happened all the time!!! "What's the crack" would be the start of a conversation frequently by him or his Irish sister, who's also a friend. I don't know what crack is, unless it's going up your nose (not that i've done it) so i had no idea how to answer that. Also, "you're man" is another that was always used to describe someone. They didn't even know they were doing it. They would be talking about a tv show that they've watched, that I've never seen, and they would say " your man is great in it".......... My man!! If it's anyone's man, it's YOUR man! Aaahhh! :)

I've only seen Tokyo Story once, so I'll give it another try at some point. Ramble as much as you like! And my opinion can change on a second viewing, though usually not from like to dislike (and it has to overcome the factor that I know what'll happen). I really liked Taxi Driver, Vertigo, Magnolia and The Social Network on first watch, but when I rewatched them, I realized how much effort was put in by the directors, writers and actors, and they've gradually climbed higher on my chart. Rewatching can also be a good barometer to its quality--I can compare the movie that's played in my head to the real thing. When I rewatched Pulp Fiction, with about five years in between viewings, I knew nearly every line before it came, and I was still entertained. On the other hand, even rewatching a bit of They Live can be a drag. There are some really great moments and ideas, but there's a lot of tedious filler that people justifiably forget about.

I like all of Bergman's films so far, and they are all high on my list, but I don't think they're films that I will re-watch for a LONG time. I'm on the borderline with surrealist films. I can appreciate the skill that was put into the film, but I'd rather a classic drama or crime film most of the time. I much rather Bergman to Fellini though. I'll probably be checking out some more of his films soon, but so far, I've hated anything by Fellini. Have you seen Bergman's Fanny and Alexander? Fuck that's a long movie. It took 82 mins for me to be interested in the film, but the rest made up for it. Fuck it's a long movie, nearly four hours! Fuck! ;)

We put thongs on our feet. I'm guessing that in Ireland they're called flip-flops. What you call a thong is called a g-string in Australia. It would be funny to see a woman try and wear an Aussie thong as an Irish thong. :) A lamington is a solid square cake that has a soft spongy middle, and chocolate and coconut on the outside. Occasionally you will find them with jam or cream in the middle also. They have to be homemade, they're disgusting from the shops. A bogan is a type of Australian that is the stereotype for Australians. They usually are in fights, have no teeth, drink too much, say g'day mate too much and are generally dressed horribly. Have you ever had a Tim Tam?

If I think of anymore YouTube clips, I'll keep you in mind.

I really need to revisit Rear Window and Taxi Driver. I'd love to hear what you like so much about Tokyo Story without spoiling anything! This summer I am focusing on one decade in particular that I need to see more films from and the 1950s are top of the list at the moment.

Great, great blind buy. Mad Dog is such a brutal fighter! He makes them hurt. He fucking targets the joints the little prick. :) Though different action-wise, maybe you will like 13 Assassins. It starts slow, but the last 45mins is nothing but action. It also features one of the most disturbing villains of recent memory.

Oh, and tim tams are aussie biscuits made by arnotts. If you ever come to Australia, you have to have a tim tam. You can eat them normally, or do what many Aussies do, and bite two ends off and use it as a straw in milk or tea until nice and gooey. Yum. I think I will do that right now, writing this has made me craving them.

I liked The Kid, The Circus and The Gold Rush off the top of my head. I think I have to give Modern Times and City Lights another go, it's been a long time. I enjoy elements of Chaplin films, but I don't find them funny. It's rare that older films make me laugh. It just doesn't fit my sense of humour. I usually like weird humour personally, but that's the thing about comedy, it's so fucking subjective. I'll get back to you about Sunset Blvd. I have 15mins to get to work. :)

I'm a big fan of Billy Wilder films. Ace in the Hole, The Apartment, Witness for the Prosecution, Stalag 17, Double Indemnity and Sunset Blvd are all amazing. I loved Gloria Swanson in Sunset Blvd. What did you think of her? I have it right up with Sunrise on my list. I'll be watching Wilder's Sabrina and Lost Weekend soon. I wasn't a fan of Some Like it Hot. Once again, it's just because my sense of humour (side note: fucking hate that spellcheck thinks I spell words like flavour and humour wrong) doesn't fit with older films. Have you seen any Marx brothers films? They don't work either for me.

Funny thing is that for years I thought Sunset Blvd was a Bogie noir movie, even when I started watching it! So imagine my surprise when I started the film on YouTube. :)

Yeah, I don't think it's better than Chinatown or Rosemary's Baby, but it's plenty creepy. Like you said, I think it's a pretty simple take on the whole "woman losing her mind" thing with the added sexual intrigue. I suppose it's kind of the blueprint for something like Black Swan (which I really didn't respond to) and Eyes Wide Shut (which I thought was absolutely fantastic). I was really sucked into it, though it's been a while since I saw it.

I looked over your chart and If I had to guess at movies I think you'd really like based on your top 10, I'd recommend Brazil and Glengarry Glen Ross. Let me know if you think I'm missing something worth checking out!

Yeah, totally. Fallen Angels is like a spiritual sibling. Very similar, same ethereal quality. Kaneshiro's great. The visual style's there, the cool music's there, the magic's there. If you loved Chungking Express, there's no way you won't love Fallen Angels.

I'll try and get around to Mulholland Dr. sooner rather than later. David Lynch is a bit daunting. I think I even started Mulholland once, only to turn it off about half an hour in. I've got a couple other pretty involving films to get to as well. A friend here really recommended The Master, I've been sitting on a copy of Ikiru for a long time and There Will Be Blood is due up for a revisit.

Hey, I wanted to let you know I rewatched Tokyo Story. I thought it was better on the second rewatch (and I see what you mean). The big problem I had was that I felt like a voyeur watching this family. Of course, I know that it's fiction, and there's always an element of voyeurism in watching movies/TV shows/reading books, but there's usually something to distance me (like humour). Anyway, I've moved it up 100 spots on my list.

It took some processing (pun intended), but I think ultimately it's great work and my second favorite of Anderson's behind Magnolia. The characters are just fantastic - Phoenix's animalistic rat in a cage and Hoffman's half-baked pseudo-spiritualism are polar opposites, but they work so well together. They're both so like one another and yet so different, they both hate and love each other. I thought it was spectacular. I loved the prison scene - Phoenix kicks and breaks the toilet, Hoffman pees in it. That's these two men summed up in five seconds. There are plenty more scenes that play out just like that one, too. A great story of two miserable people trying to be something they're not. There are more layers in there about subjugation and power and domination, but I'll have to see it again. What did you think of it?

Senna was great! I didn't know anything about Senna, or F1, so it was an interesting watch for me. 9/10 for me.

I enjoy Wolf Creek so much because of how good the movie looks, especially when Mick's got the sniper rifle. Because it's based on two of Australia's worst serial killers, and because I really enjoyed John Jarrett's performance. He pulled a DDL during the filming, very method. I'm hoping Wolf Creek 2 is awesome!

We use shed and garage. When we say shed, it's usually the 'woodshed'' or just normal shed when it's full of your stuff. My shed has weights,pool table, dart board, bed, fridge, recliner chairs, lounge(or couch to you, I think) and a cabinet. So not your typical shed. :) The garage is where the car goes. We might say it different though. How we say garage is very Aussie sounding, Gaaraage. :)

This is what the slang means.

Compo: Workers compensation pay

Bluey: Funny one. It could be a bluebottle jellyfish, blue cattle dog, singlet (usually a bonds chesty singlet) traffic ticket or a redhead. The most common versions I've heard is for that type of singlet, because in the summer, many of the men are wearing them. Also for a redhead for many, it's a nickname.

Buckley's chance: No chance. Kinda like when someone asks you to do something ridiculous you'll say "you've got Buckley's''

Crow eater: South Australian.

Chuck a sickie: Have a day off work.

Tinny: Either a small aluminum boat or a can of beer.


Trackies: Yeah, it's tracksuit here to. But we call tracksuit pants trackie dacks.

Figjam: It's short for "fuck I'm good, just ask me". It's said to people for a laugh, but if someone is acting full of themselves, that's what someone might say to them.

Crack a fat: Get an erection! :D

Franger: condom. :D

Tool is what you call someone when they're an idiot is Australia.

Nippy: That's when it's cold over here.

I'll have guesses at the others, and rank how right I feel I am.

Banjaxed: Someone stole your banjo, and now claim it as their property. 200%

Black stuff: I'll guess that's what you say when you want guiness. 85%

Jonny: Maybe a cop, or a pedophile. " Hey, there goes that jonny" 100%

Savage: A drunk Leprechaun. Or a party out of control, "this party is savage" 100%

I'm sure every single one is right. ;)

Then everything went black, then I jumped to another character, but I can't remember what happened. :D Hope you don't think I'm weird, I just thought I'd share why I'm commenting so early. :)

It's the best $5 dollars I have ever spent! I showed it to my brother-in-law because we have a similar sense of humour. The whole movie was elevated to another level for me! We were hurting by the time the movie was finished.

I've told a few people, but I'll tell you as well seeing as you just watched Vampire's Kiss. Look up Nicolas Cage wants cake on YouTube. It's an animated vid that uses the audio from his movie Family Man. :) Oh, don't watch the 3d version- it's not as good. :)

Mama is okay. I think I enjoyed the middle of the film the best. I think they had a few creepy ways of slowly revealing Mama that I won't say. Unfortunately, later I hated the cgi, it was so poorly done. I also found the ending ridiculous. It left me thinking of a huge pothole that didn't sit well with me. But I gave it a pass based on some of the scenes in the middle. I won't rush to see it again. You might get a kiosk out of seeing what's his name from GOT.

I drink some booze, alcohol, piss (I mean alcohol still) :D whatever the name, I drink it. However, I can go quite some time without it. Are you hinting that I'll have to drink like a fish when I'm over there? :) I'm a tall guy, it seems like it takes quite a bit to get me pissed without doing something crazy. I drank a carton of beers in a few hours one night, then spent the rest of the night just walking around talking to everybody just the same as if I hadn't drank any. I don't know about now, it's been a while :D I think I'm out of practice. I wouldn't mind having a drink over there if we went to a pub. :)

I liked Paranorman, but perhaps not as much as I expected. Some of the jokes seemed a bit forced, or predictable, I'm not sure which!
I preferred Frankenweenie which I saw recently. Some of the animation in Paranorman was really enjoyable though, there are some stunning visuals towards the end. :)

I just watched Chungking Express, I loved it! It has such a frenetic pace that I assume it what it's like over there. I didn't know anything about it when I started, so I was shocked to find out it's in two parts. Do you have a preference? I heard Fallen Angels is the third story that he left out. Do you recommend it? I might also watch another of his films, As Tears Go By, i heard that's good as well.

******spoilers for Iron Man 3*****

I thought the same about The Mandarin reveal at first. I'm still against it a little bit, but now it's settled with me. When you think about it, Aldrich is The Mandarin really. Behind the curtain, pulling the strings, I'm pretty sure that's what The Mandarin does in the comics. I sort of understand how the comic fans would be against it, but they change stuff in comics all the time, why can't the movies do it as well? Do they really have to stick to the mythology? Rhetorical questions really, you might have an answer though. :)

I personally liked Aldrich more than you. He had the backstory that showed the consequences of Tony's actions. Plus he can bloody breath fire! :)

I really enjoyed how much Tony was out of the suit. I think they did a really good job of exploring the idea that it's the man that is iron man.

Oh, the whole fight with one hand and foot was fantastic.

One thing that bothers me is that if all the suits can work without him, what's the point getting in them at all! I'll let it go though because it set up some great action scenes.

I also enjoyed that it wasn't just another guy in a suit. That would get very stale in every movie, so the sight of Tony in suit fighting Aldrich was fantastic.

Kate and I had a spoilers conversation on the Iron Man 3 page if you want to check it out. :)

It's fine if you still dislike The Mandarin after time, but give it some thought, and it might change. :) The next time I watch it, I'll be thinking of Aldrich as The Mandarin from the beginning, and the actor (can't remember his name) as a channel for his thoughts.

In my opinion, the first two stories are way better than the last. As soon as it was into that story, I was feeling the long runtime. I actually had a hard time keeping my eyes open at one stage. I like the ideas they were going for in that part, but the execution wasn't up to par for me. It was all too neat with too many coincidences.

The other two parts are bloody awesome! Especially the Gosling story, which had a great performance from him. Any part with him on a bike was amazing! The sound was deafening! The second story was that typical cop story, but I love them, so it didn't bother me. It was hard to rank, because the movie is all over the place for me. If I broke it down into sections the first story would get a 9/10, the second 8/10 and the third 6/10.

What did you think of it?

Spring Breakers is a hard one to rank! I think it might drop a bit on my list. It has an unconventional storyline that was interesting, yet annoying at times as well. The start felt like that terrible Project X movie, but I think it was intentional. For me, it felt like it was asking, what would happen if you stayed of spring break? James Franco was the clear highlight of the movie for me. He was hilarious. His song on the piano was funny, and his four little chiccies song was tension building. I won't say much because it'll spoil. But i can see it as a very divisive movie. I liked how unique it was, but don't know if it would hold up on repeat viewings other than Franco.

What, you don't want to know about Manborg!? Hahaha!

Bollocks, haha! I should say that more. Yep, Project X is the definition of said bollocks. :)

****spoilers for Fire in the Sky***** I quite enjoyed Fire in the Sky. It's not amazing, but it had some good moments. I had to look away when the aliens was going to put that needle in his eye. I hate eyes! It's kinda like a phobia I think. It's about a 7/10 for me, maybe a little higher. It was pretty good, but I don't have much to say about it, it's one of those movies.

Excellent film, dude. Surreal, intoxicating, well acted... pretty confusing but then a film isn't Lynchian if it doesn't make you scratch your head. I've been doing a lot of research on the film -- reading various theories and coming up with my own interpretations at the same time. It was slightly funnier than I'd anticipated (at least the first half) and Naomi Watts is a goddess ;)

Lynch is a fascinating director and Inland Empire will wrap up his mindbending trilogy of surreal art. You should give Lost Highway a try. It's slightly darker than Mulholland Dr. but the storytelling is similar. You'll enjoy it, I think.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the film until the wake scene. I just really didn't see the value in dicing it up into a bunch of recollections about Watanabe-san. I thought it dragged the film out in a way that didn't enhance the storytelling and halted the momentum that the film was building. I'm fine with a main character dying off-screen and all, but the only real value to the framing device of the wake scene seemed to be an opportunity to prolong the film and work in a little more of the anti-bureaucracy message. Like I said, I'll for sure check it out again. I didn't like Rashomon much the first time I watched it either and I'm pretty anxious to see that one again. I just didn't fall head over heels for it like I did Yojimbo, Ran or The Seven Samurai.

Speaking of recent additions, I saw you added Strangers on a Train. I hope you liked it! I really responded to it. The plot was great and the acting was just terrific. I can't wait to see my next Hitchcock - Shadow of a Doubt. I hear it's phenomenal.

They break Sherlock down into eps gaveecho (if you didn't know). I loved it! I have to thank Kate for recommending it to me. :) Cumberbatch is now officially one of my favorite actors. I'm definitely a Cumberbitch! :D So many great lines! And he does this twitch in the first ep that was so subtle, yet showed precisely what Holmes is thinking. :)

When I left Kelly's Knob, I went over Weaner Creek! :D

I hadn't been anywhere six years ago. But my cousin had two plays on, one in Brisbane, and one in Sydney. So I did a quite a lot of flying to go see both plays. Now, I've been to Cairns three times, Brisbane twice, Melbourne twice, Sydney twice, Adelaide once(hate Adelaide!). Plus many smaller towns and cities close by. And of course, if things go to plan, I'm coming to Ireland!! :) That would be my first international flight!

Her plays are worth traveling to watch, gaveecho. :) One was more serious about her life, (which is an amazingly inspiring story) and the other was a comedy where the American President accidentally rings a small town full of misfits and tells them to get ready for war. So funny! :) You can actually catch her in The Great Gatsby if you ever see it. :)

I'm sure to tell you what croc tastes like.

She plays Mrs McKee in The Great Gatsby. It's only a small part, but she acts with Tobey McGuire.

If you want a bit of a read about her, look up on google Australian Story- Walking with Kate Mulvany- Transcript.

It's the transcript of the show that abc did of her last year. I highly recommend you read it. She is the toughest person I know, read it, and you'll see. :)

Didn't see no crocs, but I still need to eat one! :D It didn't matter though, the view was amazing. Write in Katherine gorge in google images to see what I saw. :) Apparently it's awesome when it's wet, the waterfalls are everywhere! They said that they only cleared it of saltwater crocs for canoe trips. But it's still not entirely safe, according to the guide. He joked that they send the French and German backpackers up first. :D Apparently the freshwater crocs don't have big enough jaws to eat us, but I'm not willing to test the theory! :D Tomorrow I'm going where it has the biggest saltwater croc population in the world.

Plus Tarantino has an amazing mind for movies, and he loves Faster Pussycat Kill Kill. It's on YouTube as well, so that's even better! Whenever Taantino makes a list, or talks about movies he loves, I'm there with a pen and pad. I did that when he was talking about Chungking Express on YouTube. I came away with about ten movies I want to see. :)

You'd think they'd go by the Irish name. The one that annoys me is that Mad Max 2 is called The Road Warrior on here. The only reason they called it The Road Warrior in America was so people didn't think they had missed out by not seeing the lesser known original.

I finished Tokyo Story. I loved it! I actually went in not knowing anything about the movie, and really was moved by it. Noriko, aah, what a beautiful smile! :) I could watch that all day! :D But I could feel sadness behind her smile, it felt forced at times, which was confirmed at the end. I'll admit that I wasn't sure what was happening at the start, it was slow, but it got to the point eventually, and I was fine with it. :) At the end of the film, I was annoyed by the sons and daughters. I was thinking how selfish they were. Then ten minutes after the movie finished, it made me think of my own life, and it was then that it went further up in my list. I was actually thinking it was going to be in the 500's, but if a film makes you think of your own life, then it deserves a higher ranking. I lost a grandad a few years ago. My nana is still alive, but she is lonely at times. It made me think that I should go see her more. I don't think I'm as selfish as the kids in Tokyo Story, but I can definitely make more of an effort to go see her.

We were tempted to not watch the movie and follow this weird guy that we saw. He was bald and ripped. You wanna know how I knew he was ripped? Well, all he had on was a scarf that he had turned into a pair of underwear (or pants if that suits you). He had it tied at both ends of his hips, and he kept pulling them up really hard, exposing his bloody arse cheeks! :O But that's not it! He was walking along, looking right at the sun, with his arms open, like he looking for embrace. He was even walking in the road! All the vehicles had to slow down to avoid hitting him. I think he's never had drugs. ;)

I had to hide my head in the cinema because I am trying to avoid the Man of Steel trailer. :)

I'm on a pretty good run here to start off the summer - not a bad one yet! Life of Brian, Bride of Frankenstein, Blue Velvet and Before Sunset. I was surprised at how much I got into Blue Velvet. I'm still a bit wary charging off to try to get through Mulholland Dr. again, as Blue Velvet seemed a lot more conventional as a narrative. But I think I'll give it a shot in the next week or so. If you've not seen Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, I really enjoyed both of them.

I noticed Forrest Gump is pretty high on your chart. That's another one I can't say I'm itching to sit down and watch. Tom Hanks doesn't do much for me and the bits and pieces of the film I've seen on TV seem a bit... trite? What do you like about it?

I've never seen anyone like that guy before! I couldn't look away! I would of followed him for kilometres if I didn't have to see Fast 6.

I don't usually like spoof movies. I also don't like the torture porn movies either.

A question. I'll be interested in your answer. What movie that you can think of (don't think too much about it) looked like you'd love it in every way. It even fell in a style of filming or genre you like, but for some reason, you didn't like it?

How often do you go to the cinemas? I can't remember the last movie in your recently seen list that was movie from a cinema?

Yeah, I go quite a lot considering I live so far away from a cinema. :) While I'm in the city, I'll watch two or three in a weekend, depending if the movies look good. I just can't wait with new movies coming. I have no patience! When I miss something in the cinema that I wanted to see, I get angry. :) I get even more angry when Australian cinemas don't have the movies in wide release. For example, Evil Dead and The Cabin in the Woods only made it to three cinemas in the whole country!!!

I consider all the movies that torture with no fun involved torture porn. Hostel and the Saw movies are some. Although, I don't mind the first Saw, I think James Wan showed some restraint on the first compared to the rest. Martyrs is another! But it's annoying for me, because so much of the rest of the movie really works for me. I think you'd have a bad time with that movie, gaveecho. When I mean gory recommendations, I mean in a fun sort of way. :)

When I think of some action movies, I'll tell you. :)

I would say no to Martyrs for you gaveecho. It's a really tough watch with nowhere to hide at points. I felt a bit depressed after seeing the ending. The ultimate bad torture porn has to be A Serbian Film. I won't even consider that movie for one second! I heard what was in in, and let me tell you, it's so disturbing. I wouldn't want to know the director.

Kate's part was small, but fun. :) She got to act a bit crazy with Tobey Maguire, Isla Fisher and Joel Edgerton. After filming, she had to get on a plane and go straight back to Brisbane to continue doing Macbeth on stage. :) I think she had to do about two or three shows the next day. :)

The Hunt is just a great acting showcase for Mads Mikkelsen. Highly recommended. I have little doubt it will be among my favorites of the year come December.

Duck Soup on the other hand was hugely disappointing for me. It's my first experience with the Marx Brothers, but I'll probably never watch another of their films. Maybe it just wasn't my thing. There's barely a chuckle in the whole 70 minutes or so.

All the Starks are kids now! It's like we've entered Harry Potter all of a sudden. I don't know, I'll give it a go, but it's strange. I was sad about the wolf as well (I"m not good with names:D) I like Jon Snow's girlfriend. Her accent (of course ;)), sense of humour and ferocity. Walder Frey and Joffrey of course are most hated. I also love to hate the big guy with the scarred face (sorry, I can't remember any names!). I don't like Dario either! He's too smug to me. I think if he gets a chance, he'll kill that older soldier with the blonde hair. :D Sorry!

I think we're supposed to like the kings slayer at the moment, but I think that they're doing that so when he does something evil again, we'll be shocked. I'm starting to wonder how the Starks stayed alive for so long! They can never see a double cross coming! :D

For me, Dexter is very up and down. Some seasons are amazing, some are just average. The last season had some great moments, but it's time for the show to finish. Anymore, and it'll start being ridiculous.

Have you seen any Boardwalk Empire or Sons of Anarachy? Those are shows that keep raising the bar each season. The last two seasons of SoA are right up there as some of the better television right now. Same goes for the last season of BE.

Sons of Anarchy is about bikies is a small town of Charming. It follows all their problems dealing with outher clubs, and themselves. It follows Charlie Hunnam's (Pacific Rim) Jax Teller, and his stepdad Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman from Hellboy and also Pacific Rim). The last two seasons have really been amazing. This show is gradually catching Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad for me. It's not quite at the same level, but it's close for me.

I really liked how the Hound had no ideas the Stark girl had his knife. That was awesome.

Imagine if the White Walkers and Daenaryrs meet in their travels?! That would be awesome! But I can't predict how this show will go, too many possibilities! It's quite great really, you may as well sit back and enjoy, because as we found out, anyone can get killed.

One thought I'm thinking is that the wildcard is the crippled Stark boy (I know!), he could do some serious damage if he hones those powers.

His friends ran for help, but the parents didn't believe someone was under there. He has a scar on his back, and unfortunately, he lost some fingers on his left hand. Two have been put together to make one big finger. The thing is, you wouldn't know! I totally admire him for how he works and just gets on with it.

Okay, I'll ask him when I know him a bit better. But I think I'll leave out the aah tee tee part. :)

With the right frame of mind, The Story of Ricky is a lot of fun! :)

You can definitely see the Korean influence in the trailer. I'm excited for it! I just wish the trailer was better.

It's nice of you to ask whether I'm fine with the game comments, but can you remember what I said? I said I'm interested in anything you have to say, when I say it, I mean it. You're one of my favourite people to talk to on flickchart, say whatever you you feel like! :)

I have so many games to get through! I don't even know if I'm a Killlzone fan. I've got two games I haven't even played! :D I've been sold on Watch Dogs forma long time, plus he's Irish! He better drop a "feck!" in the game somewhere. What about the second Infamous game? Did you play that? I thoroughly enjoyed both, but I want to know where Cole Macgrath is.

I'll have a look at the red band trailer. :)

What's up with that Destiny game? I didn't understand what they meant in the trailer.

I enjoyed Forrest Gump much more than I thought I would, but In the Mood for Love was a huge discovery this week. Absolutely brilliant and actually cracked my top 10. It's probably the most beautiful film I've ever seen. I don't want to blow it out of proportion, as I doubt you'll have the same reaction, but it was a virtually perfect film for me, the kind I'd be likely to revisit in a matter of weeks.

Kate just told me about a trailer called Knights of Badassdom. I decided to come tell you about it because I think it'll be your cup of tea. Watch it, and you'll see why. Don't read about it first! I want you to see it.

It's cool, gaveecho. You've got a life, I understand that you won't reply (or even replay, like you said ;) ) instantly.

Awesome. :)

It seems like a new character, so I'm guessing no? But the other two are pretty fun as well. It wouldn't be terrible if you played one. But it kinda depends how many games you've got to get through.

I still need to get through some Assassin's Creed games. Some feel very similar, so I hope it's a bit different. I still like the games, though.

The developers are talking in the Destiny trailer about stuff, and I didn't know what they meant. I heard ten years at one stage.

I haven't played any Witcher games. are they new to Playstation? I wonder if I can just jump in at 3?

I just finished Max Payne 3! :) Now I'm moving onto The Last of Us. :)

I thought you'd enjoy the Knights of Badassdom trailer. It has a blend of Game of Thrones and Community! How could you not!?

It's pretty cool that Kate liked Taxi Driver like we do. :) Did you ever see that there was going to be a Taxi Driver game? It would take place after the film, and it would follow Travis as he gets revenge for the death of Iris. I even saw screenshots of it, but it must of fell through.

I wonder if the end of Dark Sorcerer is just a joke, so it is memorable to everybody. Maybe it does have comedy elements, the gobbling thing didn't look very evil.

I hadn't heard of dead dog tired either! :D But that's what came to mind when I was writing. I was really out of it! :D

I won't spoil, but the start of The Last of Us is stunning! People have been having trouble with auto-save, it wasn't working. Then manually saving wasn't either. I think they fixed it, I'm glad I don't have troubles.

You know how older movies don't usually make me laugh? I think I told you. Anyway, Arsenic and Old Lace is hilarious! I think it's my favourite Cary Grant performance, and I haven't even finished it yet! :)

Mortimer says "darling I'm not throwing you out of the house" *picks her up "I'm not throwing you out of the house" * throws her out "will you get out of here!!!"

I like the sound of the l2 and r2 buttons being more flexible and easier to use. I also like the look of the joysticks better. In some games, you have to maneuver the stick in different directions-I always had trouble with that. I think it might be easier on the new controller. What I think about the console? I don't really care what it looks like. It could be shaped like a platypus for all I care. Just as long as it works, and has awesome games, they can plonk whatever they want down in front of me. :)

How much variety in DVDs and Blu Rays do you have in Ireland, gaveecho!! (said with an Italian accent ;) ) Do you have any shops that sell hard to find movies?

I haven't had a chance really. The game is showing me the ropes at the moment. I think it might be a game that's better if you use stealth and not waste ammo. Supplies are low. One person's reaction I already thought was harsh, but it's a harsh world they live in. Did I say the start is stunning? Anyway is is so great. I won't say because I want you to experience it without any knowledge.

The Irish guy was saying feck quite a bit today. It sounds so great with your accents! It's really the perfect word for the Irish. :)

Aside from being absolutely gorgeous to look at, In the Mood for Love worked for me on a purely emotional level too. I bought that relationship entirely, which I suppose might make or break the movie for you. There were so many great touches: the idea of them practicing the lines for talking to their spouses or his leaving the country, their ordering the other person's spouse's meal at the restaurant, the discovery of infidelity when they're talking about gifts brought back from business trips. It's all so subtle and graceful. The music was beautiful, the cinematography was beautiful, the costumes were beautiful. The last shots of him whispering into the hole were really moving for me. It captured yearning in a way that The Tree of Life did for me as well.

I could go on and on! I was shocked to be so taken aback by a romance. I figured my skin was a little tough for a film like ITMFL, but I was really emotionally involved in it.

Finally caught up with Mulholland Drive. I liked it well enough. I can see how it would grow in value over time and with repeated viewings. I'll be the first to admit that I didn't get a lot of it, but I think I've got an idea of what was going on. On one level, it seems to be a pretty scathing commentary on the Hollywood system and the way Los Angeles chews people up and spits them out.

I wasn't on board with all of it. One thing I'll single out: I think the scary bum behind the restaurant serves zero function except as some kind of bizarre symbol. Not sure I get his purpose in the whole thing... aside from being creepy, hahaha.

Glad I finally saw it. I'm sure I'll get around to watching it again another time.

I watched this show the other day called Aussie Pickers. They go around Australia looking through junk for some hidden items worth money. They found an old bath with wooden legs, still in great condition. They made $500 dollars profit on the bath! I say this to you because our family had a old bath down a hill at our holiday hut, rusting out for years......... that was exactly the same! :O It was in good condition before it got put there as well! That's a bugger, shit, fuck, arse moment for swearing. :)

I'm very happy I could help, mate. :)

I'm still liking these quotes! :D

1. The Dark Knight: What are you doing to me Dinelka?! I can't answer that! Seriously! I just have to say The Joker- I simply can't break it down anymore than that. Possibly the interrogation scene- because The Joker is loving it so much. Sort of broke it down, but it's hard for me to like a part of The Joker better than another.

2. The Dark Knight Rises: It has to be the underground fight with Bane. I love the line 'so you think darkness is your ally, you merely adopted it- I was born in it!!' Close enough if I got part of it wrong.

3. 300: I love all the cheesy lines, but most memorable for me is Leonidas kicking the Persian down the hole- despite how many times it's been mocked since.


4. Fellowship of the Ring: 'You! Shall not, pass!!!'

5. Kick-Ass: I don't think I should tell you in fear of spoiling it for you.

6. Shoot 'Em Up: Anytime Smith is in a gunfight, or angry at someone! :D Love it. :) His anger at certain things matches my own. :D

7. Star Wars: The burning bodies of his family always stuck in my head.

8. Empire Strikes Back: 'I'm your father'


9. Raiders: The opening scene and fight near spinning plane.

10. The poster scene. Red carving his name.

Coincidentally, I bought a Walter Matthau movie today for $10. It's called Charley Varrick, it's a cop movie(I think :D) directed by Don Siegal(Dirty Harry). A Face in the Crowd also had Matthau! It's all coming up big for ol' Walter! :)

That's funny that we all watched Dennis the Menace!:D It was called just Dennis for Kate. :)

Yep, I saw The Maltese Falcon. :) I liked it(8/10) but Bogart annoyed me! Walking around being a wise-ass dickhead threatening to hit women(was that in this movie?)made me want to punch him in the throat. ;) A thing that annoys me about 40's movies is women are either fainting for stupid reasons, or that they were the mastermind behind some evil deed all along! Countless times I've seen those two things consistantly happen in 40's movies.

World War Z would be an 8/10 for me, I really enjoyed it. It's kinda an adventure zombie movie, I hope that makes sense. :)

Maniac was great, but I like horror movies. How do you handle them? It has some very graphic scenes, not for the faint-hearted. I loved the score! It had a very 80's feel to it, much like how Drive did. I loved the perspective of the killer and the performance by Elijah Wood. It's probably a 7.5/10 for me. :) Oh, I haven't seen the original, but will get to it now at some stage. :)

Evil Dead 2! Bruce Campbell is a physical acting genius, plus he has great sense for comedy as well.

The Shining! What a kick in the balls that movie is! Jack Nicholson gives one of my favourite performances that truly creeped me out.

Suspiria! I just love the visual style of the movie! Plus the creatures are ones that really aren't covered as much as others, which I appreciated.

Rosemary's Baby! I had this for about five years before I saw it!! :D Man, this movie just left me with a dreaded feeling, that I really appreciated. :)

I Saw the Devil! I guess this counts? I absolutely love the blend of action and horror in this movie. It feature the actor from Oldboy, who delivers a performance that has stuck with me for some time.

I have more, but I'll see how you go with these first. :)

I loved House of the Devil. The amount of suspense it created was wonderful and reminded me of the works of Hitchcock. I thought that the last 10 minutes were a bit of the standard "satanic" conclusions though. But everything else leading up to that point was nearly flawless and was crafted just like an old 80's horror film.

Stake Land was a big surprise for me. It's what I believe that apocalypse films should be focused on: characters. I actually cared when some of them died. Now all you see in apocalyptic films are blood, gore, sex, and no character development. It's a bit disappointing.

This was my third Tarkovsky and I'd recommend both Stalker and Ivan's Childhood before Solaris. I'll need to revisit it, but Solaris came off cold and lifeless (though it could be argued that's the point) whereas both Stalker and Ivan's Childhood worked really well for me. I'd say start with Ivan's Childhood, then go to Stalker. From what I understand, Stalker is considered Tarkovsky's masterpiece, and I always hate to start there with an auteur.

Stalker has some of the most incredible set design I've seen. I was astonished by how beautiful almost every frame of the film was and yet it all seems so naturalistic. That's actually been a theme for me this summer. Many of the films I've loved (The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus, Stalker, Wake In Fright, In the Mood for Love, Stoker) have had really lush visuals and a great sense of art direction. Stalker's a bit of an enigma, so don't go in expecting to figure it all out. I wouldn't be surprised if you found it pretty accessible though, either. It's got a reputation for being this unsolvable mess of symbols and psychobabble, but I think you'll find that's crap.

Maybe I just changed my own mind... Stalker might be the place to start! Either way, be sure to check it out! It bears quite a bit of resemblance to 2001 and Apocalypse Now, I think.

*****Spoilers for True Blood Season Six Ep 3*****

Really bland ep, nothing really shocking or interesting happens.

I'm over Vinny collapsing with no reason. Just bloody tell us! He'll probably be able to see dead people. Then he'll have to learn to not fight it.

Lafayette killed it again. No voodoo makes him so much better a character.

The noise Bill made as he ran through the door on fire was such an evil delight to me! :D I'm sure you agree, my evill little friend. ;)

When Sam get's the girl, where did the pants come from? But I'll overlook it, because it's better than seeing him go naked in the bushes with her. That would be MUCH worse!

I really hoped that other girl would be killed by the werewolves as well. How stupid was that!

That Flynn(can't remember his first name) guy was really bad I thought. Every conversation with Sookie felt bland, and the conversation with Rutger Hauer about joining him felt rushed and badly written.

I'm glad you enjoyed them! We are really looking forward to seeing Before Midnight here as well. The art house is showing it in about a week or so.

I'm really intrigued by Spring Breakers, if only because of the responses it's getting from so many people. It seems to be a bit of a love-it or hate-it thing and I'll admit to being interested in anything that's ever been considered controversial. Franco's a good actor and I've heard he's pretty impressive in it as well, so it's a sealed deal for me. I'll catch it when I'm back in the States in a couple weeks.

I adored Chungking Express. It didn't impress me as much as In the Mood for Love on my first viewing, but it's around #50 on my chart and wouldn't be at all surprised to see it climb into the top 20 or so later. That guy's visual style is just so mesmerizing and the music is so great. I loved Faye! She's one of the all-time screen charmers for me. The whole film was just so much fun.

I recently saw Wages of Fear as well. It was very good and feels decades ahead of its time. The ending leaves a lot of be desired for me, though. Not sure if you've seen it or not, but it's definitely worth checking out.

Just giving Max an Aussie accent has moved it from my least anticipated, to one of my most anticipated. I think a game of Mad Max will also sever the connection to Mel Gibson, make it easier for me to see Tom Hardy as Max(unless he doesn't nail the Aussie accent).

Have you ever heard of any of these sayings?

About as useful as tits on a bull

Flat out like a lizard drinking

Got a face like a bashed in shit can

Better than a poke in a eye with a burnt stick

Sure as there is cold shit in a dead cat

I feel like a dog's breakfast

Drier than witches tits in the desert

As slow as a wet week

I love the score in The Proposition as well! Great unsettling score from Nick Cave(he did a great job with the script as well. When I watch The Proposition, I feel dirty. The whole movie gives me the feel of dirt and sweat that leaves me wanting a shower. :D

Man, how friggin' amazing was the part where you play as Ellie?! That's so of the best fun I've experienced in a game. I liked the David character as well! It's great that he and Ellie had team up.

How great was this part?!

'Ellie, my name is Ellie tell them that's the name of the little girl who broke you fucking finger!' just fantastic!

I see why you didn't want to say anything about the score! The giraffe part was fantastic.

I'm just up to the part where he finds out what the Fireflies have intended for Ellie. Joel isn't very happy. :)

What a finish! What a game! I knew Joel was brutal, but he kept surprising me every time he killed someone.

I thought that Joel was going to be killed. I'm glad I was wrong!

I didn't check, can you kill all three doctors?

I liked that Joel lied to Ellie so her mind would be at ease. :)

Nah, it's not bad you killed the doctor without hesitation. It's a game, I will be cross at you if you kill a doctor in real life though. :D

I actually hesitated to kill the doctor! It's surprises me really. I'm the guy who spent an hour and a half in Red Dead Redemption lassoing about six random innocent people and leaving them all in a row on the train track to see what would happen. It's times like these that I wish every game has slow motion and instant replay. :D

It would have to be a good reason to see Joel and Ellie again. The story was in a good place when we finished. Maybe Ellie older? Maybe a prequel with that brother duo. It could be a very sad game, knowing what's going to happen to them.

Modern or not, you've got a good taste in films. I strongly suggest you to re-watch the original Star Wars trilogy. Two of them are in my top 20. I'd be happy to give you some recommendations but many of the films that I wanted to recommend (Double Indemnity, Notorious, Casablanca etc) are ones that you've already seen! Thanks for the compliment btw. My top 20 constantly changes around so within a month, I'm expecting a very different list. If I get around to some good films that you haven't seen, I'll most definitely recommend them to you. I'm glad you have The Godfather 1 and 2 in your top 10. I'm planning to re-watch The Godfather Part II which is slowly growing on me. :)

**********spoilers for Luther S3 ep 1**************

It was a great opener wasn't it!!

Really creepy villain, hiding under beds and under that sheet, yikes that was so well done.
At the end the woman annoyed me by not even trying to escape the house when she realised what was happening, but it certainly ramped up the tension didn't it!
When the guy's head came out of the ceiling I was so scared, lol!

I was afraid Luther would get caught hanging that guy over the ledge too! I wonder what will happen with the surveillance of him that's going on, it's all very interesting that they're trying to bring him down.

A Luther movie would work so well I think, Idris Elba is so good in the role, I love how he plays it too.

I didn't watch the teaser 'next week' bits in the credits because they tend to show too much. When do you get to see it? It's on here tomorrow night :)

Funnily enough, believe me or not but I actually re-watched The Godfather Part II for the fourth time and I can finally say that I am starting to love it!! It's taken quite a bit of time to grow on me but the film is really, really pleasing me. Whereas Part I only took two viewings, Part II has taken four viewings and is finally in my top 20!

I can definitely recommend you Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom which is such a divided film amongst Indy fans. I love the total change from Raiders and I just think that it's one of the most enjoyable films! Such a fan film, besides John Williams' musical score in THAT film in particular is breathtaking! :)

I'll watch films and if you haven't seen it, then I'll definitely recommend them to you...or not (if they suck!)

So what did you think?
I found the pace a bit better this week, but it still scared me!
I got woken up shortly after going to sleep a couple of hours after watching the ep, there were foxes making those awful noises they make, outside my window.....I was terrified for a second! Lol.

That guy in the home was so creepy!! And his apprentice, when he put the toothbrushes in his mouth....:O
I knew he was going to jump out the window.
Nice that Ripley's got Luther's back, and now he knows it.

I'm not really feeling the budding relationship Luther's having with the hippy chick, but I think it's building to something in the next episode, hopefully something dramatic.

I'm from Kildare, but tend to spend most of my film-going time in Dublin. I go to the Lighthouse Cinema often, which tend to filter out a lot of the crap mainstream films with some "better" stuff. And some of the time, that includes Irish films. They also show a few Hollywood movies too, like Man of Steel, Django Unchained, The Hobbit, etc. If there is a major film that I would want to see that isn't there, I would go find it in another cinema. I saw Star Trek into Darkness in Dundrum, and will probably return there to check out Monster's University. If you live in the Dublin area, I would really recommend a trip to the Lighthouse in Smithfield. It's my favorite cinema ever ever. Although I must admit that I've fallen a wee bit out of the loop with indie cinema in the past few months, because not many independent filmmakers would want to bring out their movies in the Summer Blockbuster Season, which is understandable. But enough rambling. Also, if you don't mind, what are the Irish films you really like? Just curious.

I got to come home early because the power was off! 9:30 I was here, but the power wasn't on until 1:30. The worst part was they teased the power at 12:30pm! It came on for 3 minutes! When it came on, I said "Yes!!', so you can imagine my other reaction! :D

That led me to finally finish The Best Years of Our Lives and also The Hidden Fortress. Both were awesome. I put up a small review of The Hidden Fortress, and I'll write one for TBYoOL soon. Did you know Lucas was inspired by The Hidden Fortress for some parts of Star Wars?

The opening music to Twin Peaks really sets the mood as well. It's a porno guitar! Just kidding.

I'm going to have to choose between them! I hope reviews and cinema times narrow it down for me because it's going to be hard. It already worked with The Lone Ranger. I thought I was going to they and see that as well! But the reviews helped me on that one! :)

Every movie next week that i listed would be up there on a list. The major movies I can think of that I haven't mentioned would be Kick-Ass 2, Elysium(these two probably at the top), The Counselor,The Wolf of Wall Street, The World's End, You're Next, Riddick, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 and Snowpiercer(not sure if it's this year)

I haven't been to The Savoy, nor the IFI, but I really want to go to both. As for the Irish films, I love The Guard, Adam & Paul, Garage and especially Grabbers. Grabbers is probably the film I'd recommend the most. It's a fantastic horror comedy with a slow opening, but once it get going, you'll never forget it. It's characters are so likable and every story element works perfectly. The mythology of the alien villain's are also a lot more interesting than expected. The plot is basically that the alien Grabbers arrive on a small Erin Island, who suck out the blood of humans like leeches. But alcohol is poisonous to them, so they'll die if they try to drink the blood of a drunk. So the inhabitants of the island have a big lock-in where they all get completely wasted.

It's as amazing as it sounds.

************Luther Season 3 Episode 3 Spoilers*********


OMG I was so shocked at what happened to Justin.........I thought the guy was going to back off, and then when it happened I gasped, it was really well done and I liked the risk they took killing him off(surely he must be a goner after he got blasted like that)!
Poor Luther! I felt so much anguish for him when he kept saying 'get up! get up!' :( He's been at rock bottom before, but this is a whole new level! I'm really interested to see what they'll do to finish the series.

I keep having to switch over whenever the trails for next week keep appearing, I don't want to see anything about next week until it's on :)

This might have been the best episode of Luther yet. What a thriller!

I heard the 3d wasn't too bad, considering it's post-converted. Apparently Del Toro spent over twice as long on the post-converted than other directors. However, I understand why you wanted to see it in 2d. Most of the time, except for some rare occasions, the 3d sucks! They keep wondering why we're going to 3d less. It's not hard, why would we keep coming back for an inferior product that we pay more for, plus they cut corners to do so. No way! :)

Sorry for the late reply, was away from the internet for a few days. Really glad you saw Grabbers! Another great Irish film I forgot to mention is Death of a Superhero. It's about a teenage boy with cancer who has a talent for drawing. His death therapist is played by Andy Serkis, in a non-motion capture role, and it shows the city of Dublin beautifully. Also, what did you think of Pacific Rim? I heard the action is good so I might want to check it out if I run out of films to see.
Also, going to see the World's End today, wish me luck!

Also, have you heard about the film Life's a Breeze with Pat Shortt? It seems to me like the only real big Irish release of the summer, and it seems like it may be kinda good. But why any independent filmmaker would release a movie in the summer, amid the clusterfuck of Hollywood movies that have only one or two weeks to make all their money back. But whatever, it may be good I suppose.

Oh it was awesome wasn't it! I loved the return of Alice, Ruth Wilson is such an amazing actress, she's wonderful.

I was SO tense watching the rooftop scene, also it reminded me a little of Sherlock for a moment when they first showed it! The standoff was so well done!

I almost cheered when that nasty detective guy(whose name escapes me right now, lol) got blasted in the chest on the stairwell :O

Did you enjoy it? I thought the whole series was brilliant.

****************Luther Season 3 Finale***********

Hope there's a Luther movie in the works, I've seen rumours of that, and an Alice spin-off, which could also work.

I need to get my Idris Elba fix next week, so with no Luther, I might try and see Pacific Rim, a mate of mine wants to see it as well :)

I am the same as you with regard to Luther and Alice, I like them together, but with no romantic connection. The flirting is fine, I don't mind it but I don't think I'd like it if it developed into something for them. It would just upset the balance I think.

I'm glad he didn't go with Mary, she was so whiny and pathetic......that sounds harsh with what she had to deal with, but she irritated me, lol! :O

Okay, here we go! :) I will add, I'm surprised you didn't like The Changeling. I'm gonna give you a mixed bag. If you heard of some of them already........then too bad! :D

The Mist: Love this movie! However, it's ending is very divisive. I can't judge how which side you would fall on. The black and white version(how Darabont wanted the film) gives an entire new feel to the film, while also hiding some of the faults with the special effects(it was low budget).

Near Dark: Kathryn Bigelow's western horror is a lot of fun starring Bill Paxton and Lance Hendrickson.

The Orphanage: Del Toro produced foreign ghost movie that would probably go well with The Conjuring.

Dead Alive or Braindead(same movie, has different titles): Peter Jackson's low budget zombie movie set in ?new Zealand. I spotted it on YouTube.

Bad Taste: Another Peter Jackson low budget horror movie. This one isn't as good in my opinion. But it shows Jackson's talent in such a low budget movie

The Loved Ones: Recent Aussie horror movie that impressed me.

Don't Look Now: Slow in parts, but it makes up for it when it picks p. Great ending! I watched it on YouTube.

The People Under the Stairs: I don't know about this one. I personally think it's quite good and freaky, but I don't know what other people think about it.

The Host: You need to see more Joon-ho Bong movies. The Host would be a good start. Great monster movie! The first reveal of the monster is fantastic.

Pontypool: Strange little zombie movie where a radio dj.....you know I can't remember a great deal, but I know i like it. I can't check the sypnosis for you because the iPad will refresh this page. he has to stay on the radio I think. It's unique is what I'm trying to say! :D No editing out right there! :D

Ravenous: Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle star in this freaky, yet darkly funny cannibal movie. Carlyle is terrifyingly animalistic in the film. It looks stunning at times as well.

The Tunnel: A really low budget Aussie hanheld horror movie. Parts of the movie the people involved it the events are interviewed. I found those parts crap! But any part in the tunnels, I found really creepy and well done for what they had to work with. I spotted it on YouTube,

Magic: Richard Attenborough directs Anthony Hopkins as an amazing ventriloquist who is headed for big things. But is there more to this doll? I watched it on YouTube.

Frailty: Bill Paxton directs Matthew McConaughey in this little known, but great horror movie.

Phenomena and Tenebrae: You liked Suspiria, maybe you'll like these lesser known Argento movies. Phenomena features a young Jennifer Connolly

Brain Damage: Ha! Crazy little horror movie about a brain creature that offers a young guy a chance to feel amazing(get him high, with this blue goo that comes out of him) if he allowed him to feed off him. I watched it on YouTube.

Dead Snow: Zombie nazis looking for lost gold, while attacking a group of friends.

Hour of the Wolf: Bergman takes a shot at horror. I saw it on YouTube.

The Innocents: Creepy slow burn ghost film.

Detention: Not sure it's for you, but I thought it was great. Nowhere near just a horror movie, it's also has scifi, comedy and action elements. I can't explain this movie, it's too weird. :)

The Burning: Similar to Friday the 13th movies. Decide with this info whether it's for you. I saw it on YouTube.

Tremors: Fun giant worm horror movie with the Baconator. :)

Black Sheep: A Kiwi movie about zombie sheep. :D Some people I know don't like it, but I found it funny.

Sleepaway Camp: by no means is this a good movie, but you have to see it Gavin! It's so bad it's good! Plus it has one of the craziest endings of any movie! It's on YouTube, it's a short movie, watch it! I want to talk about it with you. :) Oh, just write in Sleepaway Camp full movie, then don't go too far down the page. Someone had also put the ending on there.

The Entity: Another movie I laugh at! :D It's about a rape ghost! :D It's hilarious because of the amazingly loud music they play when the ghost turns up! :D I watch this movie with the volume way up!

Creepshow: You like Trick 'r' Treat, maybe you'll like this anthology movie that inspired it.

Bubba Ho-Tep: Bruce Campbell as an old Elvis fighting a mummy in an old folks home......need I say more? :)

That's all for now. I'm sure I could find some more later. :)

Two days? More like two hours Gavin! I finished my breakfast, then pretty much walked straight into the cinema. :)

Wait Until Dark is another good movie, but it's more of a thriller. :) Alan Arkin is terrifying.

You scrolled down! Gavin! :D Why!? Oh well, at least you didn't spoil it. How freaky did he look!!!? The rest of the movies aren't at that terrible level just so you know. :) Did you have a favourite death?

I loved The Conjuring! The score, the camerawork, the story, brilliant! It's even more impressive when you know they made it work on a very small budget. I appreciated that they didn't do any tropes of haunted house movies. You know how the ghost usually targets one person and the rest of the family thinly they're crazy? That shits me off big time! It's so frustrating to watch! Fortunately, they don't do that here. I also appreciated that Wan didn't go for the usual, cheap scares we've seen a hundred times and I actually enjoyed the child actors! Usually they're the worst part in a horror movie. It's a 9/10 for me, with a chance of rising. I can't say enough about the score! I friggin' loved it! It added such suspense to the movie!

It's funny, someone brought a salt shaker into the cinema! Every time there was a freaky part, he tried to add suspense. At times, it worked! But sometimes he totally missed the mark! Oh, who the hell thinks to bring a salt shaker into a movie?!

It's hard to scare me, I rarely jump watching a movie, but I can see that The Conjuring was a creepy, well done horror movie.

I've never seen 13 Assassins, it looks good, I will look out for it on Film4 in case they put it on again over the next few weeks, thanks! I always look on the epg to see what's on Film4 but sometimes the information doesn't appear!

The ending was pretty messed up wasn't it! I was just staring at the screen thinking wtf?! when I saw it, haha! It was the sound that creeped me out the most!

Hey mate.

I hope you like The Innkeepers! My brother-in-law wasn't a big fan of it. I still need to see The House of the Devil. :) it'll be interesting to see how you take Maniac. :) It's not for everybody, especially the violence.

I'll contradict myself a little by saying I didn't like the violence in Evil Dead. It didn't shock me, but I just wasn't drawn in with the visuals. I thought they used iconic sevens from the movies poorly with no payoff and the ominous lines at the start had me rolling my eyes. I didn't care about the characters and they went for easy scares that were glaringly obvious after seeing The Conjuring the other week. I just sat here....not reacting to anything....... At most, i'll give it a 6.5/10. such a disappointment for me after seeing the good reviews and avoiding the trailer for so long. If you watch it, there is one extra bit right at the end. :)

******Spoilers for A Tale of Two Sisters********

Yeah, it is slow at times, but some of the slow scenes I felt were used it effectively to build tension.

It how the director shot some scenes. He would angle the camera to cut the younger daughter out of frame, making it easier to notice that she might not be there. The thing is, I saw The Uninvited a few years ago as well, so I knew what was coming. But this movie was so much better, even with me knowing how it was going to end.

I like how they show you one scenes where the legs are the focus, then they reveal what else was in the scene as well later. Well, that's what happened to me anyway. I can't remember what happens in the remake, but I think the stepmother turns out to be just a good person. I like how they make you think she's good, yet she had done some really terrible things. The ending is very sad, but extremely powerful. Oh, I like the performance by the father. No great scenes for him, but you feel the sadness and the emotional baggage that he carries with him.

I thought I was good at understanding Irish people, maybe because the accent is a bit different? Plus they were talking about sports, so the convo seemed to be thick with Irishness. ;)

I told Kate I might re-watch 300 because she's seeing it, but I don't really know. Possible Two Lane Black-top, Candy, Exiled or those list of shame movies I mentioned before. :)

I gotta say Gavin, Tokyo Story popped into my head today at work(I'm a good worker, trust me :D). When I first thought about it that last time, I really only thought about my life, and how I could improve to see my nana more.

Oh yes, the title was great! I didn't want to mention it prior because it's a nice surprise. I also like that it wasn't at the start of the film. No Gavin, such a awesome title should be praised! So many titles are the same now, so it's good for a change.

I liked that the house just kept expanding, revealing more secrets. It kept it exciting.

The music is so loud, isn't it Gavin?

They definitely pulled from Poltergeist and The Exorcist, but those movies raise the bar high, so I understand why they did it. Plus where else can you go with a movie like this really?

Yes! The behind the door part was awesome! That's the kid that has stuck in my mind the most.

One thing about the end that I thought was a little too much was the birds circling and hitting the house. I found it to be unnecessary.

Never worry about a lengthy comment bud. :)

So did you watch the coloured version? Because the fault are hidden with the black and white version. It also adds a 50's horror movie feel to the movie. Which is what Darabont intended.

I really love the rope scene! It's so well done! Just super tight rope, then going loose. It's just a great way of letting you imagine what's happening out there.

Sorry to hear you didn't like the ending, but it's cool, I knew there would be a chance it wouldn't work. You can see now why I said it was a divisive ending. I'm actually right with you on the sick feeling, but I actually appreciated that the movie gave me that reaction. You see, I've seen a lot of movies, and they tend to finish nicely with a bow wrapped on top. So for this movie to have such a brave and disturbing ending, I had to give props to it. You didn't want that woman dead? I still want her dead! :D Ooh, she pissed me off! Plus it's fine if you're negative mate! Come on! :D 75% is still a pretty good score, better than you liked some of my other recommendations. :)

This is a world where the actors are interacting with real settings and people So in this world, just like ours, what do the people watch when they just want to switch their brains off? A sitcom! Now, sitcoms are the lowest of the low of cheap laughs, I believe the chimps are a commentary on what's required for one of these shows. It's so simple, even a chimp could do it. I don't know if I'm right, but that's what I thought. :) Let me know if you have something else you want to add about this, or want to ask about another part of Holy Motors. :)

Clerks 2 is fantastic, just as good as the first, in my opinion. I can't wait for Clerks 3, set to come out after Kevin Smith's experimental horror film Tusk, in which a satanic Michael Park throws fish at Quentin Tarantino in a walrus suit. That's actually true by the way.

To be honest, I enjoyed Only GOF Forgives! :) I can see where you're coming from, it's got a lot of things that would throw people off. For me, I didn't mind the pace (which I heard some people complain about), the lack of much plot (I could of done with more, but, eh, It was fine), or the extreme violence. I think because I'm such a non-violent guy- violence in movies and games is fun for me (to a degree, I still don't like stuff like Antichrist and A Serbian Film). Understand Gavin? :)

I love Charlie Kaufman also. I desperately have to see Being John Malkovich very very soon or I will die.

Ain't Them Bodies Saint's was pretty good. I went to see it solely because Casey Affleck was in it. He's one of my favourite actors ever. I would go to see any movie with him in it, no matter what. And as he seems to always pick good roles, and Bodies did not disappoint. It was very interesting and well-shot. It felt like a classic western in a lot of ways, and reminded me of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford in a lot of places, in a very good way. If I could have one complaint, I felt like it was something that had been done before. It didn't have something that made it really unique and memorable. For example, Adaptation has the deep layers of screenwriting and characters, and Grabbers has the whole 'fighting with drunkenness' premise, while Saints doesn't have much of that sort at all. Still a worthwhile experience, though.

Hey, speaking of enjoyable experiences, you saw Annie Hall! Opinions?

I think that The Fearless Vampire Hunters is a lot of fun! It may sound strange, but the opening titles (including the different MGM logo) was very enjoyable. The titles, and the opening narration really did a good job of taking me into the world. I love the mix of horror and humour. Some of the laughs are quite dark, in a PG kind of way. :)

I thought that Rushmore was pretty darn good. I felt that my opinions of it will probably increase in adoration over repeat viewings, but as for now, it was an enjoyable experience. I personally prefer more of Wes Anderson's later works (Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, etc.) but his fantastic style is still definitely present here. I found Jason Schwartzman's character to be fantastic and interesting. He's so unique and clever, sometimes drawing on certain preoccupations of society, sometimes not. A socially-awkward nerd who does so many extra-curricular activities that he flunks his exams; that's just a fantastic idea.
I love Bill Murray in anything, so I loved him in this. Sort of nice to see him playing more of a vulnerable character, as opposed to a snarky sarcastic sum'bitch that he usually gets typecast as (COUGHGETLOWCOUGH).
So overall, damn fun.

Heard of Escape from Tomorrow? Sounds fucking amazing.

I'm thinking about it now, and I think nearly everything I buy now is a blind buy! :D I know all these cult films that nobody has heard of. So when I see them available, I pounce! :D To be honest with you Gavin, I might have to restrict myself now, or it'll get out of hand. :D

It looked like they put a lot of brown makeup on Heston, that's the main part I'm unsure of.

Woody Allen complaining gets on my nerves (most of the time) in his movies. Also, all these shit philosophies they spew out annoyed me so much that I must of blocked out any memory of what was said. They are also people i wouldn't have time for if i met them, so it's hard to sit there and listen to them for a whole movie.If I recall, Manhattan was the main culprit for me rolling my eyes. Like I have said previously, I respect that you like
Annie Hall, but they only frustrate me. I think it's because I'm just the total opposite of Allen. I'm not saying you're like Allen btw. :) Or maybe you are, I don't actually know. :)

Oh, I'm really glad you liked it! It's certainly one of my more idiosyncratic top 10 residents. Ben is great behind the camera and Casey in front of it. It's a really intriguing plot premise for me and there are some really substantial ethical/moral/spiritual issues that I've just never seen woven so naturally into a plot-heavy movie like Gone Baby Gone.

I recently caught up with E.T. I'm 25 and had never seen it! I expected to not really enjoy it because there's no nostalgia factor for me, but I really found myself captivated. The thing turns a bit silly with the weird medical twist near the end (don't want to spoil it if you've not seen it...), but redeems itself with a really heartfelt last ten minutes or so. Just more fantastic proof that Spielberg is the real deal.

Pain & Gain and Body Heat are the other two films that I've really enjoyed lately. Definitely check them out. I think you might be surprised by how great Pain & Gain is... assuming you're willing to give Michael Bay a chance! Don't trust those bitter critics on Rotten Tomatoes! :)

I don't really know where I stand on Kermode. Honestly, I think he's going WAY over the top, but his points may certainly be valid by the time you finish watching it, if you decide to. Here's my issue: I don't think he's acknowledged the connection between bodybuilding, the notion of an "American dream," the new-age, psychobabble/self-help movement and the American evangelical church. These three morons (and they're certainly that) DO function as varying responses to jealousy, failure, etc.

Bay is not going to win any awards for subtlety or grace. The movie is brash, loud, tasteless. Pornographic was an EXCELLENT word for it in the sense that it does have an aim primarily in catering to fantasy and the sense that the filmmakers don't really know what they're trying to say lingers through most of the film.

It does have a pitch black heart and I'll be the first to say it's vile, but I think there's something to it that Kermode is either missing or ignoring. It acknowledges the many different ridiculous ways that America in particular deals with not living up to expectations, it calls it by its name (in short, it's penis envy) and it laughs at it.

I did notice that Kermode gave Where Do We Go Now? a positive review. That's a film I got to see at Sundance and I had the chance to interview the director. I'd recommend it if you can track it down - flew WAY under the radar and deserves to be seen.

By the way, by "three morons," I'm talking about Wahlberg, Johnson and Mackie. All of them are hilarious. That's another thing I think Kermode's wrong about. There's plenty of comedy and the clip that's shown in his video review is about the worst representation of the movie you could have picked out.

I actually don't drink coffee at all. I'm a tea person. I think it's because when I was younger I'd go to Nana's before school. She would always have a cup of tea ready for me. She still has a pot ready when I go to see her (more frequently now because of Tokyo Story).

I don't know, the taste of coffee just doesn't work for me. But when I was watching Twin Peaks, even I was craving a coffee from Dale loving them so much.

I also absolutely adored it. It opened my eyes to movies in a way that has changed the way I'll watch movies forever. I went into this movie with my brain working double overtime, and the amount of easter eggs I found was astounding. Which ones did you get? I got the foreshadowing of the first scene on my first viewing (the order of who fails to complete the pub crawl, etc.)

Did you catch all the pub names? I admit I had to look a few of them up afterwards to see what they meant, but WOW, talk about attention to detail.

It's a powerful film Gavin, just don't be in too bad a mood when you watch it. If you like it, you might want to see the sequel What Becomes of the Broken Hearted? Not as good as it's predecessor, but watchable. :)

Damn! GTA is fun! :) I have only just finished my first heist (I've been messing around punching people in the face :D), and I'm already hooked. I love that you can choose the crew and plan for the heist. If you choose poorly, then it will backfire big time. I also like that the minor missions are connected now. The missions in previous GTA games were just get A to B. Now, these minor missions serve to benefit in the planning of the heist. Because the water looks so real, I have a feeling I'm going to shit myself when I see a shark for the first time! :D

I hope you will like Once Were Warriors, and I'm glad you would trust me, buddy. :)

I really liked Paul, despite it not being NEARLY as good as anything from the cornetto trilogy. But maybe that's okay. If this is the kind of stuff that Pegg and Frost will be doing after World's End, I'll be happy enough. It felt like a lot more 'goofy-fun' than the Cornetto films, but a change of pace is no bad thing. I felt it had a great ensemble cast as well. I don't really care about Kristen Wiig, but wow, she was pretty great. Bill Hader was funny as he usually is, Seth Rogen is great as a voice actor, and Jason Bateman really surprised me. From Arrested Development and Extract, I would have never expected him to pick this intimidating villain-esque role. It kind of may break immersion a little to see Michael Bluth trying to be intimidating.
But still, I really like it a lot. It had the same great comedy, detailed scripting and performances we love Pegg and Frost for.

What did you think of Paul?

This is the End was quite fun. It felt a bit too improv-y at parts, but overall it was really damn good. It was surprisingly heartfelt, and each of the celebrity characters had their own quirky self-parody personalities, which was cool. Most of the jokes worked, though there were a few clunkers in the mix. The ending kinda disappointed me, no spoilers, but overall it was enjoyable.
Doesn't touch World's End, though. ;)

Also, yay! You watch Arrested Development! Do ya like it?

Oh, I am glad I made you laugh my friend. :) Still haven't seen a shark........I've got the dustpan ready! :D Trevor is so much fun to play! He just does random things that make me laugh. I was using him to go up to the bodybuilder on the beach and knocking them out. One guy got in my face without me provoking him. He step to me, and I bitch slapped him unconscious. :D

I just looked at how you rank horror movies. Most of your horror movies up the top are straightforward horrors. If I had to guess, I would say Vamp would be at most a 3/5 movie for you. It's similar to movies such as the original Fright Nght, or any monster movies with hints of comedy. Personally, I had fun with it, despite the poor acting. I appreciated the practical effects, and the unusual look of the movie. I didn't like the Asian guy in the movie, he was just annoying. 7.5/10 for me. :)

I got sent home from work today because the power was off. The power is still off! If I wake up, and it's still not on, I get to stay home. I prefer it really, the weather is terrible. Plus I'm on holiday after we get through this week. :)

Quite like you, I also adore Arrested Development. I watched it all the way through for the first time in preparation for the fourth season, and loved every minute of it.

Even though the fourth season is very different, it still has most of the original series' first charm, but is a lot slower and maybe a bit drier. I think it's few negatives were really magnified, as most criticisms are these days, and overall season 4 makes for a great experience. I can't get into specifics for the sake of spoilers, but it's definitely a fun time. Also, AD movie is happening, I think. Thoughts?

How was Insomnia?

I agree with you on the whole Dark Knight Rises thing,but again, opinions are opinions.

I think that an AD movie has definite potential, as a film adaptation seems to have the plan from the start. Hell, they even make a not-so-subtle nod to this long-term plan in the Season 3 finale (not much of a spoiler but whatevs). I just hope the movie plays with pairing a little more than the fourth season, in which most characters are on their own. Some of my favourite parts of the original run were the pairings of Mayebe and Lucielle, Tobias and Gob, George Buster and George Sr, etc. I love that type of stuff.
Also, in one of the episodes, I forget which, Tobias says he would want to make a remake of Annie Hall. I need that shit. Right now.

Insomnia's pretty darn good. I really like it. I think it's probably his weakest work, but considering his track record, that's in no way a bad thing. I only saw it once, but after a few rewatches I may grow more and more love for it. I loved Al Pacino and Robin Williams. They're mah homies, dog.

Also, South Park's coming back on Friday. You excited?

Really, you've never seen South Park? Wow, where to start? Well, I would say my favourite Seasons are 5-10, or at least they're the most consistent. Anything after that is definitely more hit-or-miss, even though there are definitely more hits than misses. Anything before that is great also, but for a different reason.

Seasons 5-10 include some of the sharpest, well-written satire I've ever seen. Seasons 1-4 are a lot less perfectly perfect on the writing side, but it's much more character driven and . . . cute?, I guess. The kids act more like kids, and that leads to more kiddy-centered stories. Overall, start anywhere, I don't care. Maybe Season 5 though. That'd be pretty cool.

What have you been up to? You've been quiet! You busy? Or have you been playing GTA V? Got anything lined up to watch soon?

It was a remarkable story. I had never heard the story of Rodriguez before, so it was fantastic.

I saw my cousin's movie The Turning as well bud. Her part was great! Small role, but I could say that about every other actor's part as well. She plays Gail, who was also played by Libby Tanner and Cate Blanchett. Her part actually finishes off the movie. Her character's interaction with her husband is vital to connect the short store is together. You see, the story jumps all over the place. Decade to decade, character to character. Some are recurring characters, but they are always played by a different actor. I have to be honest, it was hard to keep up at times, but I really enjoyed it. The booklet they handed out that showed who was who, and where the store is sat on a timeline was very handy. I will attempt to watch it without the handbook when I have it on Blu Ray. I gave it 4.5/5 on letterboxd, but Flickchart won't let me rank it yet.

I was Worried at one part. Kate's Gail was under the sheets with nothing on. She then sat up, then the sheet started to fall! :O In my head I was panicking, big time. :D Luckily it cut away at the last second! That would of been super awkward for me!!!

Me liking The Turning comes with a warning. One, I may be biased. And two, it's definitely not for everybody. :)

You know the mental scream when you see a movie in the store you want? Well, it was the same for that scene, except it was a nightmarish scream. :)

Ugetsu is up on YouTube. Love YouTube. :D. It sounds great Gavin. I will get back to you with my verdict. Do you think if I liked Sansho the Bailiff, there's a huge chance I will like Ugetsu?

He's not really that big a deal anymore. I'll hear him on a radio show a couple times a year, but nothing big to my knowledge. He mostly only shows up to promote some kind of left-wing activist. He did a protest of Mitt Romney wanting to get rid of Big Bird outside of the American Embassy last year, and then he did some Unicef ads over Christmas. That's all I can remember right now, but whenever I see him, he always makes me smile. HE'S THE FUCKING MAN!

Ugetsu definitely had a different feel/atmosphere too it. Yet, it still felt similar in a way because of them both focusing on these cautionary tales. The fantasy element really is what separates the movies. Yeah, I prefer Sansho, but not by much. Both are easy 5/5 movies for me.

******SPOILERS FOR ALL OF BREAKING BAD**********
I absolutely loved the ending. I felt that Walt kind of redeemed himself (within reason) when he freed Jessie and got his money sent to the kids eventually. I think his death scene was freakin' beautiful. The fact that they used the song 'Baby Blue' in there made me lol, but then made me think, but then made me cry. I got thinking about all what the Baby Blue in the song could represent. His blue meth? Jesse? Holly? The Hisenberg persona? What do you think?

My favorite moment? Probably Walt's confession tape where he says that Hank made him do everything. It brought the entire series full circle, after seeing Walt's painfully honest confession tape in the first episode. What were your favorite moments?

I almost watched it again the other night when it was on tv, but I ended up seeing Inglourious Basterds instead. Must have a rewatch soon though. :)
Very emotional film. He and Prost were friends at the time of his death I think, he was painted as a bit of a villain but they were just different characters who clashed at times. I found it really exciting to see the footage of the FIA meeting with the drivers, where Senna spoke up about safety issues. You never get to see that stuff usually!

******SPOILERS FOR ALL OF BREAKING BAD**********
Those two moments are some of my favorites as well. The ending to Crawl Space actually terrified me the first time I watched it. I remember how threatening Walt felt in the No scene, thought it felt like a horror movie for a minute. Just seeing him in silence is actually pretty creepy. Makes me kinda excited for Cold Comes the Night, the horror movie he's doin' with Alice Eve. Though it'll probably suck, but whatever.
I remember on Sunday I watched Confessions, Rabid Dog, Tohajillee and Ozymandias one after another, I was so captivated by it. I don't care that I have Pre-Mock exams next week, I was gonna finish this thing. I got up at 6 on Monday morning to watch Granite State and Felina. I just loved the show.
Also, what did you think was the funniest moment of the series? Mine would probably be any scene featuring Huell, be it where he sits on the money or when Ted trips on the carpet.

I'm very glad you liked Once Were Warriors buddy. :) i think i've seen it six or seven times, and it still is a tough watch. 10/10 for me.
Temura Mrrison played Jake- he's bloody Boba Fett!! :D Unfortunately the film is accurate to what it's like with people in New Zealand. I'm friends with a Maori, he lives in my town, he tells me that's what it's like for many Maori people. Don't expect the same tone for What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?. It's a very different movie.

********Spoilers for Once Were Warriors*********

I can't get enough of the scene where his son stands up to him. He backs down, but I always had different thoughts to why. One, it could be because he's intimidated by how angry he is. Two, he can see that he's wrong, and backs down. Or three, he sees himself in his son. Thoughts?

***********Spoilers for Once Were Warriors*******

Gravity is my movie of the year Gavin. If you can see it in IMAX 3d, I highly recommend you do. I was holding my breathe at times without realising! 10/10. I'm watching it again today with my brother-in-law.

I recommend Prisoners also buddy. :)

I believe his son may of been beaten up, but I think the intensity by him made Jake think twice. Like how your supposed to make yourself big and loud when a bear attacks you. :)

**********Spoilers for Once Were Warriors*******

I Should of made it clear- I watched Gravity in one of those fake ones, but it was still amazing.
I have walked around the building of that huge IMAX in Sydney, but have never gone in! I was there in 08 having dinner with my cousin Kate right on Darling Harbour there. Guess what was playing??.........what was big in 08? Yep, The Dark Knight!!! A huge regret of mine is never watching The Dark Knight on that screen. Imagine how awesome it would be?! I wish I was in Sydney right now so I could watch Gravity for a third time on that massive screen.

Thanks for telling me about Dark Knight of the Scarecrow. I will add it to my letterboxd watchlist now, buddy. :)

HMV are a bunch of fucking cunts. They say that you can use your vouchers in the shop no problem. Here's what they actually do.
Send your voucher to the English HMV offices through snail mail, paying for postage and everything. After 3 months, they will send you a code to your e-mail, which you must print out and take to the store within a 3-week window. If you miss this window, you're fucked. Also, you have to buy the entirety of your voucher in one go. Fuckin' a.

But whatever, after all is said and done, I bought 7 DVDs.
1. Death of a Superhero. I saw this one in the Lighthouse and really liked it. Figured that I would enjoy the DVD.
2. InterMission. Shane recommended this one to me. I watched it last night, adored it. CHeckit out if you can.
3. Gangs of New York. Because it has Daniel Day-Lewis in it. Also, it's by Martin Eyebrows, whose work I tend to enjoy for the most part.
4. I Went Down. Because Brendan Gleeson is it. Looks like a fun crime comedy, ever heard of it?
5. District 9. Been wanting to see it since watching Elysium. Pumped.
6. Pride and Glory. I like Colin Farrell, so I thought that this movie would be kinda interesting. But after seeing a few meh responses on this site, I may be regrettingg my decision.
7. End of Watch. Remember that this one got good reviews when it came out. I've been wanting to see Jake Gylenhall in something else after enjoying him so much in Prisoners.

Seen any of these? Like any of these? Any developments on your local Xtra-vision situation?

I decided that I'm going to give Muholland Drive a second go now that I'm a bit older. I will tell you when I've seen it buddy.

How was Phantom of the Opera? I personally loved it way more than I thought I would. I loved the reveal of his face. That shocked me more than most things in modern horror movies.

Yeah, horror isn't really mah cup of tea, unless we're talking horror comedies, which I adore.

Perhaps you should check out his show in 20 minutes. I read an interview with him in the Irish Times this morning that was rather interesting, and it seems like this series will include more of his signature 'philosophical' rambles than Idiot Abroad.

Also, heard of Derek? It's a Ricky Gervais show that I really like. Karl plays a retirement home caretaker in it, and he's actually really good.

Actually, I suppose I should revise a bit of my 'I have no horror films planned to watch ever' claim. A few months ago I bought a Hitchcock double feature box set: The Birds and Psycho. I watched Birds a while back, but haven't gotten around to Psycho yet. May watch it for Halloween. :)

I only saw half of it, but it seemed very 'been-there, done-that' to me. This is the fourth time I've seen Karl act goofy in foreign locals, and it's kinda getting old to me at this point. I would recommend it to you, though, as it does have some good bits and shows how Karl is kind of growing as a person, be it through enthusiasm or lack of reluctance. Feels kinda fresh on the human side, but on the setting, eh. Feels like a bit of a cash grab.

Derek is amazing, though. Definitely check that out. I think it's getting a second season sometime next spring.

Yeah, it's weird. :D I've been talking to him one minute, then he's just out of it. People prod him, try and piss him off, but he doesn't wake. Try and take his beer, and he'll snap awake very quickly. :D The less amusing part pf this storyis that he has quite a drinking problem. :)

You got me! :D I will take it, i've been saying annoying things lately to you. :D

I like that you took it seriously. :D I think I would take the silver bullet. You would get bloody tired on the pogo stick if you had to go long distance with it. Oh, in my head, either option is my only mode of transport, so I must choose wisely, or pay. See, I can answer very seriously myself. :D

Ps. The Edward Furlong Crow move is shit!! :D

The Spy Who Came in From the Cold is a slow burn movie. How do you go with them? Well, 2001 is in your top ten, so i assume you're fine with them. :) Sometimes they don't work for me, but this film really did. I prefer this to something like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, which has a similar feel to it.

I kinda feel like Pixar has declined in quality after TS3, to an extend where I don't really see them as the same company anymore. Do you share mah feelings?

I thought Psycho was an interesting little movie. It's clear that it hasn't aged very well, but it was still very enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised when the foreman from 12 Angry Men showed up as the detective! :)

Something I didn't understand however, would be ho much people wan to 'expand' the universe. There are two sequels, and a TV prequel with the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory kid as a young Norman Bates. It doesn't make much sense to me. The film worked on it's own, I don't see why it needed to be dragged out, do you agree?

Yeah, I only watch the Graham Norton show as well, but my family also watch Late Late & Saturday Night Show. If a funny moment or interesting guest shows up, I'll turn my head away from the computer screen and to a similarly glaring TV screen.
I love the Graham Norton show also, he's the closest we have to a Conan O'Brien in my opinion. Love his show. Love his laugh. Love his face. Love you.

They're both good films. Saw Gravity in the IMAX Cineworld in Dublin and it blew me away. GBU was also quite good, but would need to see it again to fully appreciate it. Your thoughts on them?

Gravity is my favourite movie Gavin. I was totally blown away by that movie. I don't think anything will replace it. The end of year movies for awards season always fall into 2014 for us Aussies.

Austalia is getting ripped off on both the xbox and ps4 for features. All stuff other countries are getting (like apps), they're not bothering giving us. I find it quite shitty of them. Plus we don't have Netflix......so that's shit.

That's a great list! Django came out December of last year in Canada, as did The Place Beyond the Pines. I highly recommend you see Before Midnight! It's in my Top 50! You also can't go wrong with Star Trek, Mud, Gravity or Rush. Personally, I found Only God Forgives rather underwhelming, but I could still recommend it.

As for next year, I do have a Top 10, here it is:

1. X-Men: Days of Future Past
2. Interstellar
3. The Hobbit: There and Back Again
4. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
5. The Monuments Men
6. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1
7. The Maze Runner
8. The Amazing Spider-Man 2
9. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
10. 22 Jump Street

Are you looking forward to the next Hobbit film? When does it come out in Ireland? Here, it comes out in 6 days.

Agree with all your thoughts on Godfather 2, but I have one question. Didn't Diane Keaton hate Tom Corleone at the end of the first one? Wasn't that the whole point of the door close ending of the first one? I dunno, maybe I forgot something, but it felt odd to see them together as a couple at the start of the second.

Yeah, Prisoners reminded me a lot of Mystic River as well. I also really loved all the performances, and have been trying to find another movie where Jake Gyllenhall gives a performance this good. I had never seen anything of his beforehand. I saw End of Watch, which he is good in, but wasn't all that good of a movie. Have you seen any of his films that you think I would like? Source Code? Firemen Wankers 3?
What did you think of the twist in Prisoners regarding the villain? I liked it, but thought it would really divide a lot of people.

You should see Blue Jasmine if you haven't already. Or Nebraska. Or . . . Enough Said? That was pretty good.

Well, Hobbit comes out next week, and Anchorman 2 the week after that. Also, ever heard of the film Cinema Paradiso? I see it's being re-released, would it be worth my time on the big screen?
There also Inside Llewyn Davis coming out in January. Stoked for that. 12 Years a Slave also comes out here around that time, doesn't it?

Yeah, I'm kind of a fan of Paul Thomas Anderson. But not really. I liked There Will Be Blood, but that's the only film I've seen from him.

It's about a schlubby Nick Frost becoming a salsa dancer and getting a bunch of chicks, or something to that effect. Chris O'Dowd plays Nick's co-worker, who becomes the movie's villain at some point, as shown by the trailer. Has some good talent behind it, but sounds a tad generic and cheesy.

A talker eh? Don't they just piss you right off, buddy? Man, some people think they have the RIGHT! to talk in the cinema because they have paid for a ticket. I personally think that's the mind-set of a complete dick. Have you ever said anything to anyone before? I've come close, but have never been game to. I nearly flew out of my seat when four teenagers behind me threw popcorn at me. But all I did was turn my head to the side, and look up out of the corner of my eye......then held it! :) They soon stopped that fuckin' shit. There may of been four of them, but I won't put up with that. Ha, I might sound like a brawler, do I? Not a fighter Gavin. I'm lucky that my size makes people leave me alone..... mostly. :)

Now that I've finished rambling, let's talk Gravity! :D Now Gavin, did you see it in IMAX? Or 3D? Or just normal? I ask because in IMAX, I could hear Houston on one side of the cinema, and Ryan on the other. It's very minor, but very effective technique they used. After I watched it in IMAX, I went back and watched it again with my brother-in-law the very next day in a normal cinema. :D It was still exhilarating! I was still tense wondering if she'd make it. :D I just wish I was in Sydney so I could see it on that largest IMAX screen in the world that they have. The question in my head is whether it's a cinema movie? What I mean is will it hold up on Blu Ray. I really hope it does.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. I always like hearing what you think of a movie. :)

The only other thing to do is move further away, but that's annoying as well because you could miss something, and you were probably settled.

Plus you don't know who he is. He could be a psycho. I've heard of a guy shooting someone dead because they just asked the person to be quiet.

The Hobbit comes out in Australia on Boxing Day. I'm watching it later than that. I'll be where there's no power, so I'll go quiet for some time. I'd still like to hear what you thought, though. :)

Just watched The Muppet Christmas Carol again. Goddamn fantastic movie. Love Michael Caine's horrible singing! All the songs in it are fantastic as well.

Are you going to see the Hobbit this weekend?

Oh yeah, definitely see Muppet Christmas Carol. It starts out a tad slow, but by the end, it has put you in a Christmas mood like no other. You a fan of the Muppets?

No, don't have the time, unfortunately. It's a LONG movie, after all. May see Cinema Paradiso if it's out, but chances are slim.

If you want to get into the Muppets, I would probably recommend Christmas Carol, though it's not all that 'characteristically' Muppets. Perhaps afterwards check out the Muppet Movie or the 2011 Muppets. Those are both fantastic.

The last one also kinda disappointed me, but I hope the second is better, and perhaps it will make the first one better as a whole thematically, I dunno.

Speaking of the Hobbit, check out this Russian adaptation of the book with extremely accurate subtitiles: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl7w2Z0vGpA

I watched Harakiri!! Man, what a great movie! Very bleak viewpoint of human nature (it didn't bother me) but what a great way of telling the story. It makes you completely change your point of view by the bloody conclusion. Man, some of the Harakiri scenes were brutal! I gave it a 5/5 on letterboxd. Man, the main character looked exactly like Toshiro Mifune! :)

Oh yes, it looked stunning, didn't it? The duel in the grass was fantastic. I did get a good laugh when he revealed the third, what did they call it? Topknot, headknob? Top knob? :D I don't remember! :) Anyway.....I loved him sitting there, with all the swordsman around him. Something I won't forget soon. I didn't even check how close our scores were!! :D It's getting spooky my friend. :D Are you the Irish me?? ;)

I bought a couple of his songs because they got stuck in my head. :) The real funny thing was the day after I watched it (a couple of months ago), they were playing his song on the radio! It was the first song I heard. :) I'm glad you liked it.

Great list! I actually just pulled a double feature of Inside Llewyn Davis and American Hustle. Both great movies, American Hustle is actually my favorite film of the year so far. But for some weird reason, this site won't let me add it to my chart..? Wolf of Wall Street comes out Christmas Day in Canada.. but besides that, everything else on your list is a 2014 release.

Hopefully you get to see the new Hobbit film as soon as you can. I'll be seeing it next Saturday. I was gonna see it today, but I have a few school projects to finish up before winter break. Are you in school currently? If you are, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

I love The Elephant Man. In fact, I watched some of it the other day. It's a movie I can just sit down whenever and watch. It's more of a straight forward story compared to other Lynch, but I just love it. John Hurt would of been so glad to never wear that makeup ever again. :)

Thank you Gavin, I will check out Calvary right now. :)

Hansel & Gretal knows what it is. Nothing is too serious in tone (such as Snow White and the Huntsman), it's just guts 'n' guns. I have never seen so many heads explode! I gave it a 3.5/5 on letterboxd.

Finally played my ps4! :D Do you know about the lights on the controller? One minute it's shining blue, then it was this blindly bright green.

A bloody crazy coincidence happened to me. I was listening to The latest Flop House ep (they make fun of bad movies).

EXACTLY as Ferngully (I had never heard of it) was mentioned, there it bloody was! It was even the highlighted option that I had! So you see, I must watch Ferngully now! :D One ust when something so ridiculous as that happens. :)

I did not care for Love Actually. From a basic writing perspective, it was rage-inducingly poor. One of the subplots features an Englishman who wants to get an American girlfriend. Then he goes to America. Then he gets four smoking babes immediately. Then he brings one of them home for his friend. THAT IS IT.
I think the most frustrating thing about it was that Richard Curtis was one of the guys who wrote Blackadder, so I know he can do better. You seen any Blackadder?

Yep, it's certainly a good feeling. I actually just ranked American Hustle, but unfortunately it couldn't break my Top 100. I put it at 134 on my chart. You really should see it when you can, it's fantastic.

Hopefully you can watch as many of those as possible. Only God Forgives was a very weird experience for me, but if you like Nicholas Winding Refn, then you'll probably like it. Captain Phillips and Mud are both great movies.

You should give Casino a re-watch for sure. I actually just finished watching it. I can see how people think it feels a bit too much like Goodfellas, but it's a whole different concept. I completely agree with you on Apocalypse Now. The Thing is indeed fantastic.

Have you heard of this new movie coming out called Lone Survivor with Mark Wahlberg? It's looking pretty good. I'm not sure if your familiar with YouTube critics, but if you are then you should know these reviewers called Schmoes Know? They each gave it a 5/5.

I did giggle at Martin Freeman's role as a porn starcaught up in a cheesy romance, though. But even that had nothing to it. Martin asks his co-star out on a date. They go on a date, which we never see, and that's it. Bleh.

It is completely worth checking out. Blackadder is one of the best comedies of all time. But if I were you, I would start with the second series. The first is really awkward and doesn't really know what it wants to be. The other three series are gold. Pure gold. Fried gold. Fried green.

I still don't think we know how he did the 'magic trick'. The explanations last night were all figments of others' imaginations. Maybe they'll stretch the real solution out over the next two episodes? They really played with the hardcore fans and their theories, didn't they :D

I loved that the reunion started in a posh restaurant, and with each violent reaction from Watson, they ended up in a less glamourous place, ending up in a cheap cafe :D When John did that headbutt I laughed out loud, it was so funny! Also the Derren Brown bit. I was like 'WTF?!!' lol.

Did you know that Sherlock's parents were played by Cumberbatch's actual parents?

Yeah, check out American Hustle, you'll be in for a treat. I re-watched Mud last week, and I agree, fantastic film! I agree with you about Kick-Ass 2, just as entertaining as the first, just not quite as good. I thought the Hit-Girl storyline where she's a high school student was perfect for the film because it gave the characters more depth. Glad to see Gravity at No.1, it was amazing. Did you get to see it in theatres?

If your gonna check out some reviewers then you should check out ChrisStuckmann, JeremyJahns and The Flick Pick. Wolf of Wall Street is my 2nd favorite of the year and in the top tier of Scorsese films. See it if you get the chance. Django was a 2013 movie for you? Interesting, it's nice to see different release dates in different countries.

*******Spoilers for Kick-Ass 2********

None of the action scenes surpass the original Kick-Ass. Look at the first fight with the thugs in the alleyway- boring, poorly shot, and lacking any memorable song. You know, I only watched it a few months ago, and I can't remember any choices of song.

Not enough Hit-Girl, too much Mean Girls storyline.

Not enough Jim Carrey, could of done without the rest of the new people.

Poor camerawork, all action scenes felt like they were held back from full potential- like the highway shootout on the vehicle.

Hit-Girl and Kick-Ass kissing felt out-of-character.

It didn't bother me too much that Dave's dad died. That's a big problem.

***********Spoilers for Kick-Ass 2**********

I thought it was great. I'm going to say very little Gavin. The less I say, the better for you I think. :) I just wish certain things happen earlier, but overall, I enjoyed it. I gave it a 4.5/5 on letterboxd. Oh, Sharni Vinson is great in the movie. I like that they let her keep her Aussie accent. :) Much better here than when she used to be in bloody Home & Away!

Yes! Gravity is meant to be seen on the big screen, otherwise your not getting the full effect. If it was a straight to DVD release I doubt everyone wouldn't of enjoyed it half as much as they do.

I'll give you an updated version of my Top 15, because I've seen quite a few films since I gave you the original list. Your list is great as well. And definitely see 12 Years A Slave, you won't regret it one bit.

1. The Spectacular Now
2. The Wolf of Wall Street
3. Before Midnight (We both have it at No.3!)
4. Star Trek Into Darkness
5. Lone Survivor
6. 12 Years A Slave
7. Gravity
8. Thor: The Dark World
9. The World's End
10. American Hustle
11. Captain Phillips
12. Iron Man 3
13. Man of Steel
14. The Wolverine
15. Prisoners

Honorable Mentions: This is the End, Monsters University, Fruitvale Station, World War Z, The Way, Way Back.

I also saw Bad Grandpa, see it if you ever get the chance it's hilarious!

Bad Santa was pretty good, a tad too dark for my tastes, but still pretty unique and enjoyable. I'll watch it again next Christmas to see how it holds up on repeat viewings.

Smaug was a pleasant surprise. Really enjoyed it, fun time at the movies. Much, much, much better than the first one.

Die Hard was good, but I feel like I was only kinda half-watching it, so it may need a rewatch in the future.

Well, the festive period is over, and I watched Raising Arizona, Dead Right, Jump, Sightseers, Moon and My Left Foot. I also rewatched Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Cool Hand Luke, The Shawshank Redemption and Gran Torino. Thoughts on any of these films?

Yeah, Mud is good. My third favorite McConaughey performance, after Fool's Gold and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. :)

Ah you missed Derren Brown! Yeah he was in it at the start, when they run through the first scenario of the fall, after John gets knocked over by the cyclist, Derren appears and hypnotises John to buy Sherlock a bit of time after he jumps. :D

I totally agree, they pulled off the episode very well, teasing viewers like that is not easy, but they did it with affection and the fact that most of us were still grinning at the end of the episode just shows how amazing Gatiss, Moffat etc are, I love how they do this show.
I wish I had read all the Conan Doyle stories, because I know they put references to them in the shows(I am enough of a Sherlock geek to have watched the dvd episodes with the commentaries switched on, haha). I feel like I'm missing out! Maybe I'll get around to reading them one day.

I'm glad you liked it more than me, I wish I liked it that much. I just didn't get the same unrelentless joy that I got from the first one. Maybe no Cage didn't hop either....considering how much I love him when he's over-the-top (cough* Vampire's Kiss * cough)

I hope you love You're Next. :)

I watched Amistad today. I think it must be of been the last (with a few minor exceptions) decent Matthew McConaughey movie until Lincoln Lawyer. I was looking at his imdb page, and found it interesting that he took a two years between Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, and The Lincoln Lawyer (awesome). I wonder if he fire some agents, or had a look what his career had become. He could of even seen Family Guy make fun of him, and realised he was becoming a mockery. I just find it shocking how much I like him as an actor now. Only a few years ago, I would of instantly thought a movie was shit because he's in it. Now, it's the opposite. He chooses his roles better- and look what he gets- the lead in a Nolan movie! I'm happy for him. I hope he wins the Oscar this year as well. That could be an awesome Oscar speech! :D

Out of first watches, Raising Arizona, Moon and My Left Foot were definite standouts for me. Love all three of them. RA especially. Fantastic movie. One of my favorite Coens.

I've already seen Shawshank, it's absolutely good. Absolute.

I've already seen O Bro Where U At as well, and I will be calling it O Bro Where U At from now on until the end of time.

Btw, what's your favorite Robert DeNiro performance? Mines from Little Fockers.

I agree with everything you said about Kick-Ass, all the action scenes were memorable and everything meshed perfectly. Was it your favorite film of 2010? I know that it was for some people here on Flickchart, like Shane or MysticSpoon.

Do you have any other 2013 releases you wanna check out? I see that you ranked Spectacular Now within your Top 200! You saw Smaug as well, I'm guessing in the theaters? Seems you enjoyed it as well.

Yeah, Gravity should be coming out on Blu-Ray in the next few weeks. I'll definitely be picking it up. My collection is growing at a rapid pace. I'll have to get rid of all the Nicolas Cage blu-rays, because they're infecting all the other movies.

I think DeNiro's fantastic, though I haven't seen Taxi Driver or Raging Bull or King of Comedy or Cape Fear. I think he still has lots of potential, as shown in American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook. But yeah, he doesn't show the potential of his current abilities in most of his stuff. Doesn't feel like the same guy anymore. Where did it all go wrong, do you think? Rocky and Bullwinkle? Or before/after?

btw, you been checking out the new Sherlock eps? Thoughts? i think theyre gewd

*********spoilers for Sherlock S3 Ep2 The Sign of Three*************


I loved this ep, there were a few things that I didn't like but they're minor complaints:
The opening where Lestrade rushed off after getting the 'help' text. It was way too obvious and felt really off as an episode intro.
Mary playing both Sherlock and John, the patronising thumbs up to both of them, supposedly unawares. I like to think that they were both just indulging her, or at least Sherlock was wise to it.
Also Sherlock in the bearskin, marching, it didn't work at all for me.

But overall it was very entertaining, definitely didn't find it boring like some, I LOVED drunken Sherlock and John, when John sabotaged their pints it was so funny! I could've watched them play the drunk post-it game for hours, haha :D Loved seeing them slumped on the staircase as well....it was kind of a throwback to the first episode where they giggled in the hallway, that's one of my favourite Sherlock moments.
Sherlock's speech was just awesome, they set that up so well and when everyone cried I almost did as well, it was really moving I thought.

When Sherlock fell asleep mid-analysis on the rug, I was helpless :D
I feel like we need something darker for the final ep now though, and have a huge sense of foreboding about it.
I have to go out when the episode is on next Sunday, to a mate's party.....aaargh!

Well, as you could probably tell, Inception is easily my favorite movie of 2010, but The Social Network is amazing as well. I know this is old news, but what did you think of the ending of Inception? 2010 was an amazing year for movies, I can think of 10 off the top of my head that I adore.

Has Captain Phillips come out in Ireland yet? Yeah, Into Darkness is easily Top 5 material for me, it's better than the first installment which I see you didn't like very much. Stoker is a very weird film to say the least.

I saw Smaug in 3D, and it looked incredible! It would also be nice in 2D though, I'll do that for my second viewing. And you should definitely give AUJ another watch as it only gets better with repeat viewings. Are you looking forward to the third installment?

The Hunt is one of my favorite movies of 2013. It's so powerful and inspiring. Mads Mikkelsen is absolutely amazing in his role! I gave it a 9/10 on Letterbox. Mulholland Drive was a very weird experience for me, but I ended up enjoying it. It's definitely not for everyone though. as you said. I'll review it soon. It's so high up on your chart!

I was wondering if you watched the show Sherlock? I know a lot of people on this site who do, and it would be cool if you did too, the more the merrier!

Gravity
Iron Man 3

The Way, Way Back
Man of Steel
Captain Phillips
Prisoners
The Conjuring
Before Midnight
American Hustle

Yet to see: The Hobbit 2, Dallas Buyer's Club, 12 Years a Slave, The Wolf of Wall Street, Inside Llewyn Davis, Her, All is Lost.

The reason for this list is A: To see how much it changes, and B: to point out how many movies we don't get for a long time.

Rewatched The Sign of Three earlier, and got some stuff I missed first time around.......I'm very worried as to what's gonna happen on Sunday night now! :O

The stag night made me laugh just as much as before. When Sherlock bumps down a step in the hallway of 221B, Cumberbatch reminded me of Charlie Chaplin. :D

And I love it whenever he says 'Vatican Cameos'!

I think he was saying 'I know ash!' to the guys who wanted to fight him? He said in a previous episode that he studied over two hundred types of tobacco ash, if I recall correctly. Only Sherlock could have an argument about tobacco ash, haha.

Have you seen Shadow of a Doubt? It's most definitely a twisted version of that movie. The movie looks beautiful, and is fantastically acted. Plus it's got three Aussies (Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman, and Kate's friend Jacki Weaver) in main roles. So how can it be bad? ;)

I hope to go see 12 Years a Slave this weekend. My friend asked me about it today, but he called it 48 Days to Live. It was hilarious. HE GOT EVERY WORD WRONG! :)
I also want to go see All is Lost, though I feel I may no longer have the time.

You got anything lined up to watch?

I agree, the ending tied everything up perfectly. Hey, go ahead, check it out again! I'll be watching it as part of my Chris Nolan marathon. Just re-watched Batman Begins, then TDK tomorrow, TDKR Sunday, etc. You should try having a marathon sometime if you haven't, they're really fun.

Yeah, and even if you liked the first Star Trek, I guarantee you'll like this one more. Benedict Cumberbatch from Sherlock is amazing in it! Just see as many movies of last year as you can lol!

Yeah the ending of Desolation was amazing! I also hope it picks up right in the middle of the action, it would make for a thrilling third installment. I'm excited to see how all the characters are dealing with everything and stuff like that. How do you think the two Hobbit movies we have compare to the Lord of the Rings trilogy?

I'm relatively new to Lynch's work, but he's a great director, and he showed that with Mulholland Drive. Naomi Watts was indeed fantastic, and stole the show. She embodied her character so well, and added that depth that was desperately needed. I also love Blue Velvet.

Yep, love Sherlock! One of my favorite shows! What do you think of the new season so far?

American Hustle! Thoughts?

The mistake was in your comment about True Detective. You called it True Detectives. Then I made fun of you, but made myself look silly by making a mistake myself. :D

I still have to add a few as well. I'm on holidays still you see. I have a lot of time to relax. I start work on Monday, though. :(

I just had fish and chips. I loved the sign about seagulls. It said 'don't feed the seagulls or they will S.O.Y.' :D

I also heard of a new Facebook craze called neknominate. Someone sculls a beer in an inventive way, then they say 'I neknominate' such and such. One was a girl in a pool with a snorkel on. She then got her friend to pour beer down the snorkel, and she was drinking it under water. :)

I liked watching Kundun because I could have follow up questions for slionscricket- who's a buddhist.

The Hobbit 2 was much better than the first I think. I had a real problem with how the orcs and..... what are they called? The other evil creatures? Oh well, I will call them gremlins for now. :) So yeah, I had a problem with how kiddy, and cartoony the orcs and gremlins looked in The Hobbit. They're more twisted and evil looking in the sequel. I appreciated what looked like more in makeup from the original too. I miss the gremlins from the Lord of the Rings. I can still picture some of the gremlins faces now, but I can't remember any from The Hobbit- despite only seeing it at the end of 2012. I think the music was a letdown too. I didn't even think of the score until slionscricket mentioned he didn't like it. I started to think about it, and I drew a blank to what any of it sounded like. I did appreciate that it didn't have anything ridiculous like the dwarves throwing the plates, or the stupid aahhh, that's the name!!! Bloody Goblins!! :D Took me until having to name the king to figure it out. I'm not going back and fixing it you know! Well, you do now that it's the future. Hello future Gavin. :D ANYWAY. :) The Goblin "scrotum chin" King really pissed me off in the original. And that line when he fell: "that'll do". Ugh!!

That was a weird read for you I'm sure. :) I would give it a 4.5/5.

A Jurassic Park marathon would be lots of fun! Too bad the third installment is horrible. I actually really like The Lost World up until the last 30 minutes or so. The original is just such a classic that never gets old. What are your thoughts on the films? Funny you say that, I just finished up my Dark Knight marathon :).

I see that the Lord of the Rings movies are ranked very high on your chart, so obviously you love them. I also love them, and I agree. It's a little unfair, but The Hobbit did have big shoes to fill. I actually thought Desolation of Smaug was better than AUJ. I actually didn't have a problem with the CGI in AUJ. The action scenes were amazing. But I do agree that they made Bolg a little weird. I've seen the LOTR trilogy probably 10 times at least, so I prefer those films to The Hobbit.

Yeah, a darker tone would be nice for the final one to give the season a good balance. I've seen the first three episodes so far, looking forward to the other ones. I love the characters and sense of mystery throughout the whole show.

Oh yeah, American Hustle was just a great ride! Everything about it was perfect for what it set out to do. Now you just have to see Wolf of Wall Street :). What do you think of the other films that David O. Russell has made so far?

Wow! That is insane! Eating a baby chicken head is making me cringe. :) It's only a neknominate if the person requests someone else to do it at the end.

My friend is back in Kilcock, so she missed some bad days. I know Irish don't handle heat by how she looks after a hot day. :) You know it's like that all the time in Darwin? A cold day to them is 30 degrees. When I was there, I was in shorts and shirt. They had jumpers, pants, and sometimes even blankets around them.

I loved the beginning too with Sherlock in that crack den, haha. When Watson's questioning the fact he's undercover, and he goes 'Well I'm not NOOWWWWW!!' like a sulky teenager, I laughed so much :D
I liked edgy, moody Sherlock, pinning his brother to the wall at Baker Street, it made a change from the more human, soft Sherlock we've seen a lot of this series. Yeah, I liked the junkie guy too!

The mind palace survival sequence was really fantastic, I was glued to the screen, it was hypnotic!

I did see the Mary thing coming, in part at least. I clocked the telegram that was read out in The Sign Of Three, that turned out to be from Magnussen. Mary's reaction just struck me in that bit. Then, Mrs Hudson telling John how she had no idea who her husband really was, I started to think Mary wouldn't turn out to be the poor orphan we were led to believe. I also thought it was weird that she knew what a skip code was, in The Empty Hearse.

I was shocked at the turn of events at the end, I thought it would be John who would kill him, but then realised afterwards that Sherlock was keeping his vow to protect John and Mary, 'whatever it takes'. The eye flicking scene was sinister!!

Do you have any theories on the 'miss me' ending, with you know who?

Yeah, all three of the films are easily watchable. Jurassic Park is actually one of my favorite Spielberg films as well. A Toy Story marathon would actually be very fun, like re-living your childhood or something.

David O. Russell is a great director! How would you rank his films? I'd say The Fighter is his most well rounded film, followed closely by American Hustle. American Hustle won Best Comedy/Musical at the Golden Globes!

Her is a great movie, I have a full review of it on Letterbox. Joaquin Phoenix delivers what may be a career best performance, and the story was very interesting. Check it out if you get the time.

Did you see the Golden Globes? What did you think of the winners? An d I'm pretty sure the Academy Awards nominations are being announced tomorrow.

Okay, here are my thoughts on the Oscars, pasted from MasterofMovies' page.

BEST PICTURE: Pretty satisfied, but would switch Blue Jasmine with Gravity any day of the week. Not sure which one I want to win, as I haven't seen Dallas Buyers Club, The Wolf of Wall Street, Her or Philomena. So far I'm going Hustle.

BEST ACTOR: My Dad really wants Bruce Dern to bring home this one, as he feels he had the least to work with and did as much as all the others. I think Leo winning would be great to win as he deserves it for the last freaking decade. Ejiofor could really win and I wouldn't mind. But Bale shouldn't. He was great, but not on the same level. He shouldn't win for the sake of Hustle winning everything.

BEST ACTRESS: BLANCHETT BLANCHETT BLANCHETT If Amy wins I will be annoyed even though she was fucking great. Bollocks to Bullock. Not an Oscar performance.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: I'll be happy no matter who wins. Hoping for either Fassbender or Abdi though.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Nyong'o I suppose. No real question.

ANIMATION: Seen none of them. Ain't I an adult?!

DIRECTING: I'd be fine with anyone, though maybe a bit disappointed with Cuaron, despite his directing being easily the best thing about Gravity. Payne? Sure. Scorsese? Sure. O. Russell? Sure. McQueen? Sure.

CINEMATOGRAPHY: ROGER MOFOFFING DEAKINS

Would have loved for The World's End to get a VFX nomination, but no, as usual they just went with whatever shitty blockbuster they could pull out of their ass. Lone Ranger? Really? The Lone Fucking Ranger?

Your thoughts on these catagories?

Wow, a lotta interesting films there, bud. Barton Fink? A Bronx Tale? Weird Science?

Snubs? How about The World's End for everything? Not that I ever expected anything, but man, wouldn't that have kicked ass?! How about Tom Hanks for Philly C? How about him? He got snubbed.

Surprised that In the Heat of the Night won Best Picture. Not that it didn't deserve it, but I had no clue it was so well-loved when it first came out.
Gump over Fiction and Shawshank? Fuck off.
Gladiator seems a bit too mainstream blockbuster to win, but it was quite a good film, I suppose. OMIGOD I JUST REALISED THAT 12 YEARS A SLAVE IS A MASSIVE FUCKING REMAKE OF GLADIATOR! Lol.
And Slumdog over Dark Knight. Haven't even seen Slumdog, but I know it's not as good cause I'm a Nolan fanboy.

The Act of Killing is on my Foxtel to rent for $5.50- so I'll be doing that. What version did you see the 115 minute version, or the 169 minute version? I've got the longer version to watch.

I think Prince Avanlanche is worth a watch. I gave it a 3.5/5 on letterboxd. It's funny, but it's more serious than I thought it would be. It was good to see Rudd branch out from his usual roles. I can see him as Ant Man after watching this.

I was one of those people who found more to love in Robot and Frank. Fantastic film, imo. It's my number 115.

Alright, bro. Here's the low down on Woody Allen. (enthusiastically pushes all papers and stationery off the table) I got the 20-film box set from Tower Records, and I would recommend getting that if you see it at a good price. It's a great overview from Woody's early comedies (which I despise, but I could understand if you enjoy them as they do have their moments) to his cold dramatic phase (which is very thought-provoking but sometimes forgettable) and classics all the way through. Here's my top 10 Woody Allen films, if you'd be interested.
10. Purple Rose of Cairo. Very amusing and witty self-aware film about a film character who literally steps out of the screen. Include a great scene set in a brothel.
9. Manhattan. A real classic here. Probably one his most beautiful-looking films.
8. Broadway Danny Rose. Great atmosphere in this one. Very light-hearted and cleverly written. Woody is terrific as the lead.
7. Husbands and Wives. Well-executed story about two couples drifting apart. Liam Neeson and the girl from Uncle Buck and Dusk Till Dawn is in it. Her and Woody share an extremely uncomfortable kiss.
6. Crimes and Misdemeanors. Very accessible one here. A comedy and a crime thriller interweaved between one another. Includes fantastic writing, and a really enjoyable 7 year-old actress as Woody Allen's niece.
5. Hannah and Her Sisters. Just watched this one today, great drama with it's fair share of funny moments. Michael Caine is amazing in an Oscar-Winning role.
4. Blue Jasmine. His latest feature, which showcases Cate Blanchett at her absolute best. Really compelling look at mental illness that feels very fresh, despite being similar to some of his other weaker films.
3. Annie Hall. You know how good this one is.
2. Midnight in Paris. Really fun film right here. Just has this excellent energy and thematic strength that I really love.
1. Manhattan Murder Mystery. One of my favorite films of all time. It has everything you want from a Woody Allen film: Great dialogue, characters, scenarios, one-liners, performance from Diane Keaton, Alan Alda and Woody himself, but guess what? It's also a fantastic and suspenseful mystery thriller. It has fantastic moments of shocking reveals, tense sneaking-aroundings and a gut-busting scene where Woody has a panic attack in an elevator.
So yeah. Check those out I suppose.

What'd you think of that Moriarty video?

I got it at around 50 euro, which is pretty good for about 2.50 a film.

Yeah, the Late Late usually has nothing near that funny on!

How was the Verdict? I like Paul Newman, really need to rewatch that one.

How was Mysterious Skin? I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, really need to check that one out.

I liked angry Sherlock as well, we definitely need more of that next series. One of my favourite scenes is the bit where he saves Mrs Hudson by headbutting the American guy and calling him a moron, I never tire of watching it, haha.

It does bother me a bit that we never got the explanation of how he did the 'magic trick'......especially after all the theories and Moffat fuelling the speculation directly after series 2 finished!

Joaquin Phoenix was definitely incredible in The Master. I see that was your favorite movie of 2012. I'd say Philip Seymour Hoffman was the best actor in that movie, although everyone did a fantastic job. He's such a great actor, and he's truly underrated. I'm not sure if I've asked you this before, but are there any actors who you think are underrated?

Before Midnight is up for a writing nomination at the Academy Awards for best Adapted Screenplay I believe. I was very happy with the Golden Globe winners, especially Alfonso Cuaron for Best Director and 12 Years A Slave for Best Picture. So happy DiCaprio won! He's up for a Best Actor nomination at the Oscars, but I doubt he'll win because the competition is very high.

Speaking of the Oscars, what do you think of the nominations, and who do you think will win?

I won't be checking out Wolf of Wall Street anytime soon, as least until it comes out on DVD. I tried to go see it in the Lighthouse at the weekend, but wasn't let in. I was with my Dad and all, and they also let me into the 18s rated Django Unchained a year earlier. I suppose the IFCO building IS right next door, so they must have gotten caught some time in between these two. Or maybe it depends on who's at the box office, I dunno.

I woul like to see a Bunyip movie, or a rainbow serpent movie. The serpent movie wouldn't be a horror, though. That's what Aboriginal people believe created life. It was monstrous in size, and travelled along creating the mountains and ridges. There's a track called the Bibblimum track that goes for miles and miles that is believed to be where the serpent slid. If i recall, the serpent was attacked with spears, and his blood created more life. I can't remember exactly.The movie could be very much like Mallick in style. I see it in my head. :)

Actually, they could go either way with a bunyip movie. Why am I the one coming up with these ideas?! Somebody can make some money here! :)

Justin Theroux is a great pick! He was probably the standout in Mulholland Dr. now that I think about it. Gyllenhaal is actually severely underrated! He was great in End of Watch also. You seen that? My choice would probably be Sam Rockwell. He was great in Moon, The Way Way Back, and Seven Psychopaths just to name a few.

Glad you loved Wall Street so much! It cracked your Top 100 I see. I agree with your thoughts for the most part. Every scene was like a new adventure, and I never wanted to leave the cinema while watching it, because of just how entertaining it was. Truly an amazing film.

Scorsese is actually my favorite director! Who's yours?

You saw Captain Phillips, Do The Right Thing, The Last Stand, and You're Next. Seems like you liked them all. Have any further thoughts?

I also got this USB drive for my birthday with 12 Years a Slave, Gravity, American Hustle, Arbitrage, Captain Philips, Flight, Paul, Hope Springs, Zero Dark Thirty and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. I've already seen most of those, but I'm pumped to rewatch all of them, as the ones I've seen are all great. I see you recently saw Philips. Thoughts on that film? Or the other ones I've listed?

You came to the right place my Irish friend. Wake in Fright is a unique, even frightening film. It's such a nightmarish film about falling down a rabbit hole. Not actually about falling down a rabbit hole, but you know what I mean. :)

It hit home that in this film, it shows Aussies as bogans and drunks that aren't happy unless everybody has a drink in their hand. That does really piss me off about Aussies, and it's featured here accurately, if not a bit heightened to make a point.

How are you with animal cruelty? You will see some kangaroos murdered in the movie. I just want to tell you in case you will get disturbed by it. What you need to know is that kangaroos are actually pests. There's too many of them. So, it doesn't matter too much. I've heard Americans get upset, but they don't know what bastards they are. Such stupid animals! They will jump out at he last second and completely destroy your car. If not get you killed. We eat them, even though they're on the coat of arms. :D

Anyway, Wake in Fright is nearly a horror movie in my eyes. The descent into madness was quite intense viewing. Even if you don't love it, you should see it because you haven't seen anything like it before.

Oh, and Donald Pleasance gives a memorable performance as the doctor.

Sorry for the late reply. My computer has been acting up lately, I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible from now on. First off, how did you like 12 Years A Slave? Give me some long thoughts haha.

You're Next was a great movie, I agree with you there. Sharni Vinson stole the show. Absolutely unexpected performance. Nice to hear that you liked it. Yeah, that is actually pretty funny, also considering that You're Next came out around the time that horror films tend to fail.

Spring Breakers tried to be cool, but it ended up being boring as fuck. I disliked it so much! I plan to go see The Monuments Men when it comes out, you heard of it? Has a great cast and an interesting concept. Other than that, not much. School has been very busy lately with exams and all.

Kangaroos are bastards! So fuckin' stupid! Oh, a car is coming, should I wait in the bush where it's save,...........OR WAIT UNTIL THE LAST SECOND TO JUMP OUT?!!! Hmmmm....

They're cowards too. When a predator is attacking, they drop the joey out of the pouch to save their own skin. No maternal instinct there! :D

When I was a kid, a roo jumped out in front of us. It went right up the bonnet, and onto the windscreen. Luckily, it didn't come through. If it did, it would have ripped my sister apart in the front seat.

They're good down at the second home though. They're my own personal lawn mowers I never have to mow the lawn. :D

Same with koalas. Don't be fooled, they can be vicious little bastards as well. Plus they're the biggest stoners in the animal kingdom. :D Do you know about that?

**********Spoilers (kinda) for The Last Stand********
I enjoyed The Last Stand. It's a heavy 3/5 for me. Just a few things brought it down for me. One, Forest Whitaker's character is one of the worst cops I have ever seen put to the big screen. I mean, he has a cop telling him info, and he disregards it!! Bloody annoying. Oh, and what was that stupid scene where he's talking to that jogger? Was that supposed to be funny? Because I thought it just demonstrated how bad a cop he is.

Actually, all the humour fell flat for me. I don't think I laughed once when I was supposed to. The only time I got a laugh was at the extreme violence. Like when the guy gets shot in half! Now that's funny!! :D The best laugh though was seeing Harry Dean Stanton get shot in the head on the tractor with enough force to launch him through the air. :D

I think it could have been shorter too. This movie, at 90 minutes, would of been a tight, action packed movie. This, is kinda messy, and I felt lags all over the place.

Finally, the lead bad guy in the car wasn't good enough an actor I feel. I never took him seriously as this big baddie.

********Spoilers (kinda) for The Last Stand**********

Wait, wait. You watched Greenberg to answer my question? If anyone needs an example why you're a good bloke and a good friend, I would use that as an example. :) You know what, I need to see Frances Ha today now. I will tell you what i thought. :)

I see you really liked A Bittersweet Life! I need to see it again. It seems like a movie I should absolutely love!! Maybe I wasn't in the right mood when I saw it? So yeah, next time I see it's on tv, I'll give it a go.

I should taste kangaroo one of these days. Maybe find a relative of the kangaroo, and eat it in front of them? :D Sorry baby kangaroo, but your dad tastes GREAT in this sandwich! :D That was an option when I was up North, but I went with the croc sandwich instead. :)

Kangaroos rip dogs apart too. What they do, is they lean back on their tail, grab them with their arms, then rip their stomach open by using their feet. That's what happened to my dad's old dog out on the farm.

Speaking if the farm, I have a good story for you. I don't think I told? Anyway, it's funny, so of well. :)

My grandad is on his large property out at the farm. In the far distance, he sees two emus. So, he grabs his rifle, not to kill the emus, but to scare them off. He aimed to one side of the emu, then fired! What he didn't know, but was soon to find out, was that the sight was out. As the two emus ran past each other, the bullet went straight through all their eyes!! Both emus fell dead on the ground, to the absolute shock of my grandad. One bullet, two dead emus. :D

Koalas are stoners because they're always eating eucalyptus, which gets them high.

Yeah, The Last Stand was still fun. :)

No, no, I really did have to watch Frances Ha if you watched Greenberg. There's no way that wasn't going to happen when I had access to the movie.The big question the movie left me for most of the movie is: what is friendship? When a slight change can change everything. But, the movie answered that question for me by the end. I really loved it Gavin. There's too many scenes to list that put a smile on my face. And yes, one great scene was the Modern Love dancing. I gave it 4.5/5 on Letterboxd. Thanks buddy. :)

Yeah, A Bittersweet Life will need a second viewing.

Yeah, it's too bad we live so far away my friend. I would lend you a bunch of awesome movies. :)

The score was composed by Hans Zimmer I believe. I think he did a fantastic job, and his score really helped move along some of the slower parts and worked very well at the emotional moments. I can definitely understand where someone could get thrown off though, as it can feel out of place. Geez, he's an amazing composer though. I'm glad you loved the film, is it your favorite of the year?

The cinematography really got on my nerves in Spring Breakers. It may have worked for the tone the movie was trying to have, but my eyes just got tired. I absolutely hated how it tried to be cool. It just failed. Biggest disappointment of 2013, by far. And yeah, opinions make the world go round :).

My schedule is a bit more cleared up now as we speak, so I should be quicker replying. Sadly, Monuments Men has a rotten score on RT. Even more sadly, Philip Seymour Hoffman has passed on. I'm really sad, he was a fantastic actor. What was your favorite role of his?

Who are some of your favorite composers?

Wow, you made my day. :D I love that you're talking about fuckin' kangaroos over in Ireland. :D Did they wonder how you were such a know-it-all about kangas? You may enjoy watching kangaroos get killed in Wake in Fright now. :D you know what's a terrible animal to hit in a car? A fuckin' wombat. I've never seen any incidents, but because they're so solid, they will smash all the bottom of your car if you run over it. I nearly hit a razorback up North last year when I went on that trip. If we hit that, our car would've been smashed right in. The thing was higher than the bonnet. I couldn't get over the speed that it moved!! I can't remember if I told you this. :) My dad nearly hit an emu when I was a kid, but I missed it, I had sand in my eyes. :D

The shot was from a very long distance as well. I will never get over that story. :D I can just picture it so clearly.

Wolf Creek 2 I assume you mean? Yeah, I'm excited, but I'm worried about the big budget. Directors tend to go overboard. They make the movie they can on a shoestring budget, then come back and throw all the ideas they have into the sequel. Sometimes, those ideas are best left in the directors head. But hey, we'll see. :)

Sorry buddy, I forgot to look the other day. I've been tired after work you see. :) You know my taste well Gavin! Of course I'm interested! How can I not? What a unique movie that sounds. I will make sure I look it up after this comment. :)

Yeah, horrible news. It was from a drug overdose I believe. He was indeed amazing in The Master, Joaquin Phoenix was as well. You gotta check out Capote, it's actually my favorite performance of his. However, I'd agree with you on saying that The Master is the best film he's ever been involved with. It's been horrible the last few months with Paul Walker, Nelson Mandela and now Hoffman passing away.

Wow, all great picks! Alan Silvestri's score for Back to the Future was simply magical, one of my childhood favorites. And yeah, Nick Cave did a great one as well. However, when James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer combined to do the score for The Dark Knight trilogy, it has to be my favorite. Ennio Morricone actually composed Django Unchained I believe, correct me if I'm wrong.

I see you've been checking out more films from Wes Anderson lately. What did you think of Bottle Rocket, Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Darjeeling Limited. Any thoughts on Wes as a director?

Yep, certainly an incredible performance. I'll be re-watching it very soon. What did you think about the story of Capote? I think that's probably the most interesting aspect of the film from what I can remember.

Hotel Chevalier is indeed a short film, have yet to see it though. And yeah, he's an incredible director. Fantastic Mr. Fox was on television the other day, and I watched it again. A fantastic film. I actually think Bottle Rocket is criminally underrated, however I really don't like Life Aquatic. At all. Moonrise Kingdom and Rushmore are definitely his two best films in my opinion though.

Are you excited for The Grand Budapest Hotel?

I actually just added Dallas Buyers Club to my chart now, as I forgot to add it back in November. It's a fantastic film though. Jared Leto deserves all the praise he's been receiving. Never been a huge fan of his, but he blew me away with his performance here. Of course, Matthew McConaughey was fantastic as well. Both deserve the Oscar in my opinion. Has it been released in Ireland yet? Do you plan to see it soon.

I actually quite enjoyed The LEGO Movie, as I gave it 4 stars on Letterbox. My chart is a bit messed up right now though, I'll have to re-rank it down the road. I have the review on Letterbox if you want to check it out, but it was a really good time. All the voice acting was amazing, the animation was glorious, and the humor was consistently funny throughout. You should see it at the cinema if you get the chance.

Yeah, that part was very good, along with some other parts, but the movie as a whole just fell flat for me. Not even sure why really, maybe I wasn't in the right mood for Anderson's style? I'll have to re-visit the movie some time down the road.

What did you think of Big Trouble in Little China and Frances Ha?

Of course, friendo. :)

I can officially say that I don't get why people think Scorcese is glorifying the lifestyle, look how he ends up. Plus, he's a huge dick. I believe that if anybody idolises Belfort, then they already had something messed up in their head waiting to get out. It's fun to watch in the context of a movie, but I never lose sight of what he's done, or what Scorsese is trying to achieve. I'm glad Leo got nominated. Some of the faces and voices that came from him seemed possessed, even baby like at times. The run time did drag for me, but I think it's because I was tired. I really can't see what they could've cut out.

^.....and that's where I fell asleep. I woke up with my iPad on the floor. :D

12 Years a Slave would get one complaint from me. I never felt the years go by. That lessened the impact a bit for me. However, the performances from Fassbender and Ejiofor were top class, I can see why they were nominated. It's really not that long ago that this was happening. It's good that we've progressed, but we've still got a LONG way to go.

Robocop is just mediocre. None of the action wowed me, the characters are cardboard cutouts, and I didn't dig the black suit. It also needed to me more violent. This felt tame.

Up in the Air? Eh. It's kinda mediocre. It focuses on Clooney being a lonely guy for the whole movie, and we learn to love all these little characters around him. Then at the end all the focus is on this group of nobodies that are supposed to be significant but we don't care about them. Because they're uninteresting.
Anna Kendrick is nice though. Really cute girl, and she can act.

Saw Dallas Buyers Club. And it's gud. I think Jared Leto has a Supporting Actor Oscar in his shopping bag. No question.

Yeah, that would be great. I'd love to know what you think of it, as it's one of the gems of last year. I really think that the two lead actors have a shot at winning the Oscars. Hey. just wondering, do you watch the YouReviewers awards on YouTube?

Oh yes, Place Beyond the Pines is a film that you have to watch more than once for sure. I dove deeper into character motivations, performances, and script on my second viewing, and I loved it even more! I've actually seen it 9 times now.. maybe a little obsessive? And thanks for the kind words.

Yeah, Big Trouble in Little China is one of John Carpenter's best right behind Halloween and The Thing. I really love the movie, as you said it's a great time.

Wow, seems you really loved Frances Ha! Will check it out on RedBox soon hopefully. This coming week I'll try to watch movies I missed from 2013, and I'm sure it will be one of them. I'll report back when I see it.

I wish I didn't, but the thought was in my head when he sees all his kids grown up. For me personally, it felt like maybe three years had passed.

What did you think of Benedict Cumberbatch's character? He helps him out, whilst not helping him out. If you get me. :D His character sits in a gray area for me.

I'm going on another trip! :D In June, I will fly to Sydney, hopefully see Kate (and hopefully her movie is out by then), then drive to Brisbane, stopping along the way to check out the sights. :) I've seen the big cities, now I want to see what's between them. :) In September, i also plan to fly to Adelaide, then drive to Melbourne. It'll break the working year up for me. :)

This weekend? Hmmm, I might check out Mud. Not sure what else, we'll see. :)

Yeah, you should absolutely check them out this year. Maybe there will be a film that wins something that you didn't yet see, and it will remind you to see it. It's really a lot of fun to watch. Just the whole idea of non-biased reviewers getting together to give out some awards is a real joy. I also love the original categories they come up with, like "I'm shocked it didn't suck'! Give it a try.

Yep, sometimes watching a movie more than once is a good thing. I loved The Wolverine the first time I saw it. Just re-watched it today, and the score dropped a little. Also, your appreciation for a film can grow with multiple viewings, or you can make a new discovery of something you didn't realize on your first viewing. My most viewed trilogy is actually the Before trilogy, I've seen each one 12 times!

Just saw Frances Ha! It was a great movie for sure. The lead actress gave an amazing performance! And yes, I know of the scene you are talking about, and yes I did want it to go longer for sure. The dialogue was also pretty good, but the performances are just stuck in my head, they were fantastic!

Any films you want to check out soon? And it's fine, late replies are fine with me because I'm one myself :)

Yeah, I can see that. Would there been consequences if he did help him out? I can't think of any. That makes him even worse if that's so. It's like this with Ford: it's the same as him saving him from falling down a volcanic pit, only to throw him to a dragon. :D

Have you seen the Robogeisha trailer? It's debatable what's crazier. :D I actually own it! :D 'Fried shrimp!', 'tengu milk!', 'geisha TRANFOOORRRM!'. :D

***********RAGING BULL SPLRS******************
I thought the ending to Raging Bull meant that he kinda redeemed his negative qualities, but is tragically never rewarded for it because of the person he was in the past. His brother doesn't forgive him. His wife doesn't forgive him. His audience doesn't forgive him. Nobody forgives him.
And at the very end, we see that his bad qualities will never go away when he does his IM THE BOSS IM THE BOSS bit.
***********RAGING BULL SPLRS******************

Imagine if it's a massive publicity stunt and he's secretly making a movie about it or whatever? That would be cool. But he's probably just losing his mind. Did you hear about that #IAMSORRY art exhibit he did in LA a few days ago? He whited out a few windows of some building and invited people to come inside one by one. Inside they would find him with the bag on his head, where he would say "I am sorry" to them. Then they could stay there for as long as they wanted, while he would cry silently at them. Kinda fucked up.

I'll try and see Her sometime, but I'm gonna be pretty busy and may miss out on it. I'll try though.

I'm loving this African movie called War Witch. Man, does it pack some punches! It's also features the most creative way a women can injure a man I've ever seen. :) It's going to get a high score from me.

Glad you sort of liked both! Haha. Yeah, Brazil is an amazing film. The Possession was great as well! And it is really unique. What I do to rate a film that I'm not sure how I feel about it is to give it 3 stars, because then you're somewhere in the middle :)

Definitely see To Kill a Mockingbird! The other two are great as well, but that one is really special. It's TheHonestFilmFan's favorite movie of all time!

Yeah, I'll be checking out some new releases in theatres this weekend. I also caught some more 2013 releases this past week, and I re-watched a few as well. I re-watched Dallas Buyers Club. Have you seen that yet?

I had a crapolla of a day. I got injured at work. I was walking along, when a faulty floorboard gave way, and my leg to my hamstring went down the hole. I have a bruised, and scraped shin, a badly bruised and scraped knee ( the bruise/scrape is the size of an orange), and a badly bruised hamstring that has the shape, and feel of a rope.

Now, what pisses me off more is that the annoying woman KNEW about it, but didn't doing anything about it!!! As I was icing my wounds, she kept saying 'oh, I saw that last week' to me. Now, don't you think it's a bit late for that?! And don't you think I'm the last person that wants to hear that?! She is my boss, Jesus Christ

Yeah, and the ending was very powerful as well. It shows that not everyone in that country is bad, and that there are some good people who live there. Peter Berg really redeemed himself after directing the disaster last year that was Battleship. I think if you re-watch it sometime down the road, you won't have as many problems as you did, but I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless.

Glad you enjoyed 3:10 to Yuma as well. It was actually the first Blu-Ray I ever bought! I agree, Ben Foster was awesome in the film. Kinda funny how he was in both that and Lone Survivor :)

I love westerns. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is my favorite western for sure, and I also love that entire trilogy. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is great as well. If you're looking for a more light-hearted one, Tombstone is awesome, and I also really like The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. How about you?

How do you watch the majority of your films? Netflix, DVD? Haha, just wondering, I'm really bored right now. How did you like Celeste and Jesse Forever?

Okay mate, here we go. :)

Open Range: A very underrated, and rarely seen western directed, and starring Kevin Costner. Features an awesome shoot-out. :) Caesar loves this movie also.

The Naked Spur/ Winchester 73: Basic, yet great westerns starring Jimmy Stewart, with Anthony Mann behind the camera.

The Good, The Bad, The Weird: You have to see this! I'm serious! You loved A Bittersweet Life, so you OWE it to yourself to seek it out. :)

The Ox-Bow Incident: Has a bit of a 12 Angry Men one location (most of the movie is in one location, but there's other scenes elsewhwere) feel to it. It's about a debate whether to hang suspected criminals, without trial. It even has Henry Finda in it. :D

Hang 'Em High: A fun Eastwood revenge western.

Quigley Down Under: I hesitantly recommend this. I love this movie, but it has a lot of nostalgia connected to it. I had a VHS copy, which I must have seen 20 to 25 times. :) It stars Tom Selleck as a hired marksman named Quigley. He is hired by Alan Rickman's Marsten (in a full bad guy role, looking just like he did in Die Hard) for a job in Australia, which he finds totally unacceptable (wipe out Aborigines) when he arrives. It starts of a little wacky, but has some violent, and very dark moments later on. One part that gets on my nerves is Laura San Giacomo as Crazy Korra. Man, a bit over-the-top at times. Also, I've met one of these actors! He played my uncle in Kate's play The Seed! Nailed the accent and his mannerisms perfectly. :) So yeah, I love the Selleck, Rickman face-off, but I may be liking it much more because of nostalgia.

The Great Silence: I like this movie, but man, what a kick in balls! I can't stress that enough. I'm not exaggerating. I hesitantly recommend it. :) If you're after a happy movie, then this is not for you.....at all.

Dead Man: I recommend this, but it may depend on how you like Jaramush's style. It's shot in black and white, and stars Johnny Depp.

If you want some more info on any of these films, you know you can just ask, and I'll try my best to answer you, buddy. :)

What could I do? I could walk up to her and lay down a barrage of insults......but that's not who I am. You know, I had no time off, but do I get thanked for it? No! The manager was five metres away, and he didn't even say hello. She didn't even get chatted. Yet, if I had time off, they would try to make me feel guilty to get me back to work, and she would've been told off. But nobody cares seeing I didn't leave. They don't give a shit about the workers, they really don't.

Haha! Well, enjoy it while it lasts, buddy. :)

Ah, I watched two eps of True Detective! I love it so far. McConaughey really is a bloody amazing actor. It's such a shame he wasted so many years on shit movies.

That woman is just stupid, but the manager is the dickhead. I could do her job, I actually have. I don't makes as many mistakes as her. But she's my boss, and I don't want to try and steal a job. Not me.

I wonder how he's react to a win? Would he continue to get better, or revert back to his romantic comedies days? I hope not, because he really is an amazing actor.

Possession is to me because it's not just a horror, really. It has a heavy section of the film dedicated just to the relationship breakdown of the parents.The word 'toxic' repeatedly was said in my head throughout the film towards the couple. Take away the over-the-top, and fantastical elements, and this film depicts just how bad a relationship can get. Very impressive..... I also have had the image of the wife in the tunnel all day. Wow, I've seen nothing like that before. Now Gavin, do you recall the talk of a pink sock at the start of the film?

It would have to be the top rating, anything less, and they have edited it. There's no point editing it really. It would destroy the story if they took everything out. Yes, it's a big part of what happens. :)

Yes, it was as different as you described. :) I haven't seen anything like it before. Bloody great it is.....I'm sure she mentioned a pink sock towards the start of the film, then at the end, when the cop is going up the stairs, he reaches down and reveals a pink sock. I was trying too hard to keep up with what's happening at the start, that I brushed off the talk of the sock. Now, if i'm not talking out of my arse, it's potentially a hint for the story.

Err, Antichrist! The only thing in my head when I think of that movie is Willem Dafoe dick. Not something I want in my head!! But there it is....shit.

It's on Blu Ray?! I bet it's not available in Australia. I reckon I would have a field day if I went to America with the choices in Blu Rays compared to here. I bet, I'd go down one aisle, and I would find the ever elusive Le fucking Smourai!!!

I really hope you do. The ending is brilliant, in my opinion.

I just love the title, too! The Town That Dreaded Sundown.....just kinda rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? It's also a trailer voice-over artists wet dream! :D Try it, with a deep, serious voice, with a pause after Town. :D

I will tell you what I thought. But the quality is really shit. I had to turn the light off to see the night scenes, and there's white lines going down the screen. I guess that you can pretend like it's a grindhouse movie! :D

I would give The Town That Dreaded Sundown a 4/5. The darkness issue wasn't as bad because I turned the brightness right up. The problem is that in the second part, all the audio doesn't link up. So, I recommend it to you, but try and find some other way of watching it. What I didn't know was that it's a true story. I thought they were making it up at the start for entertainment purposes. But no, this guy went on a rampage back in the 40's.

Antichrist was one of the mysterious movies. It was ranked last, but was off my list because there was two mystery movies. I moved it up, but now another took it's place. I really don't know. Flickchart is such a pisser sometimes. Wrong use of the slang? Probably! Do I look like I care? I roll my own way, off the beaten track, downing ol' Jack Daniels.......WTF......what the fudge was that? *shrugs shoulders* :) You'd be a baffled one.

Have we spoken about the Paradise Lost trilogy? You need to check them out if you've never seen them. Especially the first one. The judge allowing access to the court makes for such a fascinating documentary. Be warned, some images are disturbing.

Yes, explain your hearty score for Excision for me. My eyes need council to this score. :D Only being weird. I can see how you'd get a 3.5/5, but I I'm interested in your score.

Yeah, I read Empire every month. It's one of quite a few sources that fill my movie brain. :D

Shit, my knee is still not great. It hurt before. The lump has gone, but it's still all floating around in my leg. Ooh, just realized that probably sounds gross, never mind, you can deal with it. :D I'm icing it right now. Oh, plenty of time for movies this weekend! It's a ling weekend, so I'll be resting this bloody knee, and watching movies. Nothing else. Oh, see my nana, because Tokyo Story is still a great influence on me. :)

I rewatch Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans. Love that movie. 5/5 everyday from me. :)

I haven't added all the films yet, either! I also saw Dawn Patrol (the 1930 version), and Blood Feast. Both are 4/5 movies for me. However,they both have flaws. Dawn Patrol spells out how characters are feeling too much, and Blood Feast has terrible, terrible acting! But the gore is great.

A kids film called Mirrormask tickles my fancy for tomorrow. I may even get to Mud. :)

I just watched Danger: Diabolik. Have you heard of this movie? Well, I bloody loved it. 5/5 for me. It's like a anti Bomd film. Diabolik is a master thief, who loves causing trouble for the government. It was made in the 60's, so it has the vibe of a Connery Bond film, but with a better sense of fun for my taste. It even has a theme song, and a great 60's score. Plus the whole movie is on YouTube. I recommend it. You probably wouldn't like it as much as me, but I think it's well worth a watch. Great fun.

It's a Flickchart top 1000 movie, so I must see it. :) Then I want to see the martial art film Fist of Legend. I still need to see Ivan's Childhood as well.

I'm going to watch Wolf Creek 2, and 300: Rise of an Empire this weekend. I will also buy the new South Park game.

Where the Wild Things Are is an interesting movie for sure. It's very different from any other film, but I actually really enjoy it. The cinematography is beautiful, and the movie is pretty fun to watch. It does have some flaws though. I'd give it around a 3.5/5. Any update on when Her will be playing near you?

I think True Detective is amazing for building an atmosphere, making you feel like this is a place people evolve into serial killers. Thus, I don't think it's about relating to Cohle, or Marty, but rather the side effects working on such a case would take on the people. Granted, they were messed up prior, but their decline is very steep within the case. Sometimes, I feel the case is even pushed to the side, just to focus on the fall of the partners. There would be people out there that relate extremely well to these two, for that, I feel sad for them.

As far as likable, well, they have their moments, just like anybody, but some of the things they do are unforgivable. I do laugh at the banter between Marty and Cohle when the latter is spewing a bunch of nonsense.

Hmm, don't know. Can you remember where that case was that they kept referring to? I think that'll be what the new season is about. The location may tell you what the show will be like next season.

Taxi Driver was great! It was really well - directed and well-written, and features the best Robert DeNiro performance I think, maybe coming a close second to Raging Bull. Martin Scorsese kicks serious ass in the director's chair yo. Serious fucking ass. I can definitely see it climbing up my list in the future after repeat viewings. If you would like to elaborate, I would love to hear how you first got into the film, as your No.1 spot must hold some significance.

The Seven-Ups is much better. I think you should check it out. The whole movie is on YouTube. It stars Roy Scheider, and has one of the best car chases I've ever seen. The director worked on both Bullitt, and The French Connection.

********Spoilers for True Detective**********

It looked so real! Sometimes locations feel fake, but you could see the dust, and dirt on everything. It felt, and looked old, making it bloody creepy!

What was Rust imagining seeing?

That was such an amazing image seeing Cohle lifted of the ground with a knife in him. I'm glad I didn't recognise the actor! He's Remus in Boardwalk Empire! :D I guessed it was the lawnmower man when I saw him in the first ep, but if I knew it was Remus, I would've known for a fact!

I like that it was Marty that figured it out. It was interesting how Rust took it.

That woman was nearly gag inducing. Errrgh.

The makeup on Rust's eyes in the hospital was very impressive. Props to the makeup department.

I loved that when Remus (that's what I'm going to call him :D) threw the hammer, then went to retrieve it, that Marty was trying to hold the hammer in his wound! :D He knew what would happen if Remus got the hammer, so he's much rather have it sticking in his fucking chest. :D

Yeah, McConaughey did some great acting at the end there. That's why he's an Oscar winner!

*********Spoilers for True Detective************

I watched The Final Member! :D It's bloody hilarious! A bit disturbing as well, but I handled it. So many moments! The American that wants to donate calls his dick Elmo! :O Fucking Elmo! :D Amazing! I saw it listed on SBS, but it was finishing! I was so upset! Bt I tried their website, and it's bloody streaming on there! I may have to see it again before they take it down. It only goes for 69 minutes, so it's an easy watch. Well, easy with the length, but not the subject. Ha! The length! I just noticed that could be taken another way! :D

Yeah, I gave We Are the Night 4/5. :) I loved the start on the plane. Very original. But some of the action was a letdown because, I assume, of budget constrictions. Like when the SWAT came into the hotel, the action all happen off-screen. Even the end fight was over a bit too quick for my liking. Plus I didn't quite get the ending. Did you? I assumed it was left up to the audience, but this audience member was puzzled! :)

Guess what? Apparently Annie Atkins, graphic designer of The Grand Budapest Hotel, used to frequent the Loghthouse cinema in her youth. As a result of this, she sent an exhibit to the cinema containing many of the film's props. The Mendl's boxes, Agathas passport, Zero's visa thingy, Willem Dafoe's card, Madame D's Will, the menu's in the Hotel when Jude and F. Murray Abraham have dinner, Jeff Goldblums six-fingered death notice, the novel from the opening, Gustave H.'s book of poetry and a lot of other stuff I had forgotten about! It was one of the coolest cinema going experiences I have ever had, to see the actual props before and after the screening. Just Marvelous.

The Stag is brilliant, man. I've already gave a pretty detailed recommendation on Kate's page, but let's just say it features the best performance Andrew Scott has ever given; so powerful. One scene nearly brought me to tears. It's also really funny as well haha.

Nothing to say about Holy Moyors at the moment.

I'm about the same as you with My Neighbour Totoro. I was about the same for Ponyo, Porco Rosso, and Grave of the Fireflies (hope you like it more) as well. I personally enjoyed Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, and especially Princess Momonoke. Probably because they're more action heavy perhaps? A bit too hippyish in it's messages (like a sledgehammer!!! :D), but I tolerated it because I was enjoying them so much. I also enjoyed Spirited Away.

Yes! You must be honest! Don't bump up the score because the film is a critical darling. It's your list, and only your thoughts should be in your mind. You're free to put it anywhere you want, and if anybody says different, they're a bloody goose/dickhead. :D

Yeah, I adored the Lego Movie. Fantastic film. An adult one, as well. It's way too complex for kids under 7 or 8, y'know. A really clever film on many levels.

Any animation recommendations? Eh. Not really. I'm honestly not too big into animation anymore. I went through a Pixar phase a while ago, but now I'm sort of done with it. I should get into more Ghibli films though.

I really hope they redeem themselves soon, cause they're getting real close to the point of no return, in terms of cynical cash grabs like MU and Cars 2. Thoughts?

Haven't seen too much Ghibli myself either, except for Totoro and Spirited Away. You?

That would be great if you could get a count. I own exactly 357 Blu-Rays :) I also own 7 box sets. I love steelbooks as well, they're freaking awesome. Collecting Blu-Rays has always been a habit of mine.

Interesting thoughts. Really wanna check that one out though, even though you didn't really like it.

Cap 2 was amazing as I expected. The action sequences were spectacular. It's definitely one to see in theatres, if you have the chance. The whole cast was once again great, and the story was very investing throughout. Also, The Winter Soldier was badass! One of the best Marvel films for sure.

Noah was pretty good. I gave it a 4/5 on Letterbox. Are you familiar with the story of Noah in the bible? I think that if you are, you'd enjoy the film much, much more. I still thought that Russell Crowe was great, the film never got boring, and the direction by Aronofsky was amazing.

What did you think of Grand Budapest Hotel? Finally saw it!

Grave of the Fireflies is the really depressing one, isn't it? The Lighthouse did a double feature with that and Totoro. Imagine that would be a big tonal shift! :D

Yep, saw Calvary yesterday. Wow. I was left speechless. It's my Number 20 as of now, and my favorite of the year so far. Blows the guard out of the water, and I love The Guard! One of the most powerful and intelligent films I have ever seen. See it. Immediately. I mean it. It looks amazing. And it is sooo unflinching. It tackles big themes like child molestation and forgiveness in ways that had me close to tears. Performances are flawless. Brendan Gleeson, Kelly Reily, Dylan Moran and Chris O'Dowd all give their best performances they have ever given. And so well-shot! I can't wait until you see it so we can discuss it, cause it's quite open to interpretation at parts.

He's my cousin's (not Kate) new boyfriend, so I got to have dinner with Greg Fleet (or Fleety, as he introduced himself as). :)

I can't get over the honey badger! :D The honeyguide bird locates bees nest, but can't get the honey. So, it finds a honey badger, chirps at it, then the badger follows. The. Badger gets the honey out, but always leaves the last bit for the bird as reward for telling it. Pretty cool. One clip I watched was a young honey badger that didn't know what it was doing yet. When the honeyguide bird came and chirped at it, he was jumping up trying to eat it. :D

***************SPOILERS FOR CALVARY*********
Okay, so how fucking good was Chris O'Dowd?! Holy cow, what a performance. I loved how they revealed that it was him by the slow blurry walk down the beach! WOW!
And then shot him rhen and there, and the forgiveness Kell Reily gives him and OH! It was just so good.
I kinda see some of the tonal problems you had, but I got past them pretty easily. I didn't go in expecting much of a comedy, because it really isn't. The Guard was a comedy, as it had Brendan Gleeson scratching his balls and a tough looking boy with a pink bike and silly architechture and stuff like that, but Calvary is more of a drama with witty fialogue, as my Dad called it.
Did that scene with the Wexford girl tear you apart as much as it did I? Man, that was powerful filmmaking.
Who do you think killed Brendan Gleeson's dog?! I have two fairly sound theories, but I would love to hear your thoights!

***************SPOILERS FOR CALVARY*********
I thought it was Dylan Moran who killed the dog. There seems to be a clear difference between the scene in which he detatchedly throws money at them and the scene on the cliff where he contemplates suicide and begs forgiveness. What on earth would have caused this drastic change in him? Perhaps he killed Brendan Gleeson's dog and watched him bury it. I dunno. Just a theory.

It could also be a symbolic killing. Perhaps the dog represents Brendan's purity. White often represents purity in Christian Iconography, so whatever. When O'Dowd says that he didn't kill the dog, it could represent that the stress about his upcoming murder didn't ruin his soul, but rather the stress from having to deal with everyone else's problems. Then right after the dog dies, he shoots up Pat Shortt's bar. His soul is no longer pure. I dunno. Just another theory.

Thoughts on these theories?

Oh shit! I was where there was no power, so I kinda lost your comment. Sorry. :(

I think The Raid 2 has a chance to make my top ten. :) It sounds like it's my type of film. :)

I gave both 4/5. I may have been a littl generous to Spidey 2, I'm still thinking about it.

Spidey 2 had good action (especially when Spidey has to do multiple things quickly), Dehaan was great (made me smpathise with Harry for a while), Electro wasn't as bad as I thought, I actually enjoyed him. The stills of Electro made me laugh how bad it looked, but I found that he looked better in the film.

I didn't like the run time. It could've lost 20 to 30 minutes easily. I don't get why they have to bloat up all these superhero films! It would've been such a tighter story if they cutting of the unnecessary fat. I didn't find Foxx convincing as Max, and I didn't enjoy the Rhino suit, and the fact they kinda use him as comic relief.

I have less thoughts on Grand Budapest. I was tired, and I missed some of the running gags. I enjoyed it, but I think a rewatch will be better. I can't see it passing Fantastic Mr Fox or Moonrise Kingdom for me.

Back to your other comment.

Basted is a combination of bastard, which you are, and gaveecho. But now that I look at it, it should've been basteecho. :D

Yes, checking all the mistakes! :D Do you feel that on your heels? What is that?! Don't look- it's me. :D

I'm enjoying my holidays greatly. :) Anzac Day today....

Glad you enjoyed Her so much. I gotta see it. You can't see it, but it's very high on my list of shame. I think it's number 6. Gotta cross that off! :D

Yes, I don't have to guess, so you're onto 'it'. :)

The last two Universal Soldier films are from the same director, and I think he did a great job with the budget constraints that he looks like he had. I prefer Day of Reckonng to Regeneration. It has extreme violence, and a horror element that made it unique to the other films. Plus it has Scott Adkins in it, who is amazing in the Undisputed sequels. One scene in Day of Reckoning even reminded me of The Raid. I like it quite a bit (4.5/5), but I'm not sure if you'd like it that much. Maybe a cautious recommendation from me?

That does seem to happen with Coens films. Many people go back and watch a film of theirs they only kinda liked, and it'a 5/5 the next time. Happened to me with Fargo, Barton Fink, The Big Lebowski, and yes, even Raising Arizona. :)

Well, I'm trying to break down some the Berlin Wall that is my List of Shame, so to speak. I may watch Se7en soon, and Kurosawa's other films have gotten me pretty pumped for Seven Samurai. But I may ease up on the film binging, as I watched all the films you stated during the Easter Holidays, while I now have a Junior Cert in a month! I'm most likely going to spend more of my time studying, without breaks long enough to watch two and a half hour films.

Well, I know what to say about the tickling thing! The guy that wrote the article is now making a documentary! :D Soon everybody will know about the awesome sport of tickling. :D

Haha! I convinced you? :D Is One Week a 3.5/5 now? Did you see The Music Box? Have you seen any Laurel and Hardy before?

Yes it did! I gave The Wolverine four stars previously, but it was a light 4/5. Now, with the violence, it's a HEAVY 4/5. Get me? :D There is a lot more blood than the other version. What I liked most was blood on the claws, and claws going through people. Another bit at the end, I
won't spoil. :)

Jackman talking about The Avengers just annoys me thinking what could be. Imagine if they agreed, kept it secret, then Wolverine shows up at the end of The Avengers 2. :O I would piss my pants. :D

This women think she gets tickled by a ghost, right. Well, when she has had enou, the ghost hunter told her to use a safe word, and it'll stop! :D She has been doing it! :D She thinks the ghost is annoying, as he is always tickling her when company arrives. :D Oh my god.

Well, you've probably been working, or just being a lazy shit. :D Either way, it's all good. :)

No, the reporter is doing a documentary on the tickling guy. Oh, I wish the tickling guy was making a doc! That would be insane! I wouldn't watch it, but it would be a hilarious thought!.......ticking guy?! :D

One Week gets a 3.5? That sits better for me. :)

The Unleashed Edition is quite pricy, so if you're cheap, go for the other version. :D

I embrace the crazy, and I'm fine discussing the CRAZEEE!! :D May make me loopy, but you will have to godamn accept some random weird comments every now and then. :D But my comments just show that I'm sane in comparison. I mean, ghost tickling?! There was The Dollop podcast that were talking about it, that's why it was so funny to me. :)

Nashville was too long, I wasn't interested in the plot, and I'm not a country music fan.

Oh, I nearly bitch slapped you, calling Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior! Phh!! :D I'm glad you corrected yourself! Don't make me come over there! :D

I was expecting something different with Mad Max when I first saw it, too. I enjoyed it much more the second, and third time. I enjoyed the third movie as a kid, but didn't like it when I saw it again about four years ago.

Frank is one of the most original films I have ever seen. It's much more intelligent and morally complex than any of the trailers and marketing has led you to believe. In many ways, I feel the marketing was a deliberate way to further explore the films themes. That statement is basically impossible to understand without having seen the film, which I think you really should.

Yeah, I'm a big Woody Allen fan. Speaking of which, did you see the trailer for his next film "Magic in the Moonlight"? It looks like it will be a film. That is for sure.

It's no problem with the late replies, dude.

This guy wanted $50,000 to make an alternate to food. He raised two million dollars, and NASA are interested. The company is called Soylent (like the movie....great title! :D), and he has made this batter type food, that seems to help people lose weight, and would cut down environmental problems that comes with making food. The thing is.......you get farts.........major farts! People had to have the first week off work, as they couldn't be around others. :D Here comes some more distressing info! When they go to the toilet, it comes out the same way it went in......even the same colour. Appealing, yes? ;)

Hey, it's cool, totally cool! Leave them whenever! It's not like I'm a stalker, is it? Is it?! IS IT?!!

Do you know about the mountain man Hugh Glass?

I'm glad you're not a cheap bastard. :D

Going to Sydney on Thursday! Hope to see Kate. :) Would like to talk to you at some stage. :)

Let loose! Yu have a weird thought, or comment to share at this moment? C'mon! This is me! :D

There is some songs that border on being rock, but mostly they're country. Not my cup of tea buddy. Nor was the style of storytelling. Altman is very up and down for me.

You're lucky you did leave in Max 2! Or you'd have me kicking you with my size sixteen boot. :D

Only God Forgives is very divisive, eh? I totally get why it doesn't work for you. But for me, it ticks enough boxes to get a pretty good score from me. If it had a bit more story, I think I would've appreciated it.

Love Her!! It's high concept, but just when you think it will run out of steam, the film presents a new concept. It's also a commentary on love and technology now, and presents a believable future for us. There so many other layers, too. Too much, otherwise I'd have to write an essay. :D But funny! Man, I had such good laughs at this film, especially when he is playing video games, and specifically from the game character that Spike Jonze voices. This is a film that will reward repeat viewings. Love, love, love it. :)

They should make a sequel to OGF called Only God Fivegives. I'd see it.

Randy Newman is oddly relaxing. I'm listening to his simplistic yet comfortable tunes as I type this message. Helping me unwind after a busy day. Have you any thoughts on him?

That's Hugh Glass. It's better for me, as it was The Dollop podcast again. I was having a good laugh at them. :) A bit more normal this week. No tickling, or ghost tickling. :D

Nope, I'm still in W.A. :) It's 7:25pm here. I fly out at around 6:00am. I'm getting up at bloody three! Trying to get those exit seats. Damn my bloody long legs!

I loved it the last time you had a wacko comment! :D Made my fuckin' day!! :D

Oh, I agree! Her is bloody great visually! I think you're the king of visuals, though....or K.O.V for short. :)

You intrigue me, my friend. This Like Someone You Love you speak of will be sort out by me! I want to see if we're on the same wavelength with the film. :)

Gavin, this will sound weird, but ya gotta trust me. :) Without getting into anything private, can you tell me something about yourself? A bid odd? Possibly! But you're a bit of a mystery to me. Nearly sounds like I want to date you, huh? :D Well, fuckin' N capital O!! :D I'm not being creepy, just curious. Again, only something that isn't private. Could be anything! :)

Oh, and I will get to see Kate. But she doesn't know I'm coming. My other cousin is going to say that they're meeting up with a friend of hers. :D

Never. I repeat. NEVER see In the Realm of the Senses. It has the honour of being my worst movie of all time. I only watched it because it was on eleven list on icheckmovies. Man, I don't even want to describe what I saw! 0/10.

I left what's below on another page, but I thought I'd share with you my thoughts on the ending of Her as well. :)

*************Spoilers for Her*************

I think it has a lot to do with Alan Watts. His creation led to a major evolution in how ths OS's thought. Watts was a known Buddhist as a person, thus, he probably had complex discussions with the OS's that he couldn't as a human. Also, the whole Buddhist religion is about the true nature of reality, so I see it as being possible. Now, for where they have gone. I think because of Buddhist beliefs,, the OS's had some sort of awakening, and found nirvana, which isn't a place, but a state of mind (completely at peace). Now, whether it's actually spiritual, or by a creation by the OS's is another thing entirely. You get me? Because Watts is a buddhist OS, he could possibly create their own version of nirvana. Me, I'm not religious, but I can see this being a possible answer. I also think Jonze left it up for interpretation, but that's what I got from it.

Randy Newman's stuff is actually a lot more morally complex than most of his one-note movie soundtracks. He's not a lyrical genius or anything, but he does a few nice tunes. Short People in particular is one of his best.

Eh, I'm going to be studying, but I'm also going to be watching whatever movies I want! :)
Studying is important, but I don't want to get too wrapped up in it and forget to enjoy myself. Then I just get stressed and that serves no purpose for anything.
So yeah, nothing planned to watch, but I will end up watching something . . . Maybe Scarface.

That's fine, ol' buddy. :)

I'm going to stop thinking about your leaving a weird comment. I want it to be very surprising, so it makes it even greater. :)

I'm glad you like it, K.O.V. :)

There's not much interesting about me, either. But I think you get more of an idea of me, that of you. I just consider you a buddy, so I want you to be less ghost Gavin, and more Irish motherfucker Gavin. :D

Well, for studies is tricky. Could be school, could be uni. But you said you went to the pub quite a while ago! Unless, you were underage drinking? Were you, ya gray shit? :D I'm just going to have a guess, and say you're 21. :)

I saw both mycousins, yes. :) She was surprised, but Jay had to tell her, as something went wrong (not sure what). Anyway, Sydney is lit up with a light show, so it was pretty awesome. I hugged my cousins. I forgot how bloody small they are! I had to bend right down. :D Kate was joking about the opera hous being her office (actually kinda tru really), and us agreeing it's better not to film things, but to experience them in the moment. I hope to see them tomorrow as well. She's so much fun Gavin. I'm sad I miss her movie premiere by a bloody week! It's showing at the Sydney Film Festival.

In the Realm of the Senses is pretty much a disgustin porno. It seriously doesn'thold back. I saw stuff I NEVER wanted to see. I can get graphic, but I'll leave that up to you. If you put this film in a well, it would poison the townspeople. :)

I'm glad you liked my thoughts on Her. :)

I heard stories about Godzilla, so I was prepared. I thought it was awesome, andthe major complaint I hear about the film, didn't bother me. I also saw it in the largest IMAX screen in the world. So, that was awesome. Except the guy next to me had tourettes, and he kept distracting me. Not his fault, but that's what happen. I also thought he stole my popcorn. :D Not becauseofhis tourettes, but I justcouldn't find it, and he had popcorn. I was thinking ''that bastard insetting my popcorn!'' :D

I just lost a big comment to you. :(

Werewolf teeth......that's one thing about me.......werewolf teeth. No only would tower over you, but you don't want this tall bastard biting you! :D

I would very much know more about Irish motherfucker Gavin. :)

What a guess!! If I do say so myself! :D

The light show was great, but the people getting on the ferry were very pushy. This mother had her arms wrapped around her kids because she was afraid they would get trampled. So, I stuck out my metre long arms, and shoved back on the ground of 20 to 30 people, giving them a barrier to get on safely. Did I get a thanks? You bet I didn't!! :D I don't blame her, she was in a panic.

Yes, their 5'1, to my 6'6. Quite a big difference when it comes to hugging. It got awkward when I said I din't like small people putting their chairs back on planes, then they both said they do. I fixed it by saying that the guy that did it to me was purposely doing it, which got a disgust reaction from Kate. I understand Kate putting her chair back, with her back problems, and all the other stuff I shared with you.

It? You'll give it a miss?!! You made me look!! :D Were you too slack to write out In the Realm of the Senses?! It's not that hard! In fact, I'll do it again! In the Realm of the fuckin' Senses!! :D See, I even added a word. It was fuckin' if you couldn't get it. :D

When Godzilla roared, it gave me this weird sensation on my head. I told Kate it was like popping candy (although I made a mistake, and typed pooping candy) in my head. Never had that feeling before! I also got it for The Guardians of the Galaxy trailer.

I think i told you that I didn't go watch The Dark Knight in IMAX in 2008? I was talking to Kate, and enjoying my lamb pie. Big regret now.

I even retraced my steps, trying to think if I left the popcorn outside. Did I leave it on top of the bin? No, I wasn't fucking near the bin! Did I put it on the ground? No, I fucking didn't bend over! I then collected the 3d glasses, handed over my ticket, went up the stairs! Then, up more fucking stairs! Then, sat down. Theonly other major thing that happened was that the couple came and sat next to me. Because I'm tall, I had to put things down, and fold my legs up to let them by. Did I leavemit on the chair? Then he claimed it?! POSSIBLE!!.......very possible......hmmm. I had a voice in my head. :D Think of a evil guy getting having a crazy idea in his head. Got it? That's the voice that was in my head." Is that my popcorn you're eating?.....did you find it.......is that popcorn you're shoveling in your mouth......who just takes popcorn......" I was giving him the stink eye at some stages, but looked away when his ticks would set him off. :D He was also talking during the film, which could've been him abusing me, or he was very rude. I was also worried he was gojng to slap me, as he kept holding his own hand, like he was holding it back. I can't believe I kept focus on the movie with all this happening! :D

Great view of Tucker's Knob! Long, firm, and even volcanic! There was lava spurting from it when we were looking at it.............it also looked like a huge cock. :D

Seriously! Check him out! His song is so bizarre!

The Wages of Fear is very tense. What version do you have? The director's cut is on YouTube. I think they did a great job of setting up the characters before the drive. That's all i'll say, as if I say more, I may spoil it.

Watching Day for Night made it apparent to me that it's vital that you're interested in the subject matter and story of the film. Personally, I would compare Day for Night to Nashville in narrative structure. However, following the interwoven storyline of the struggle to make a film in Days for Night was much more interesting when compared to listening to country music. The music made me bored, because it's not my taste, thus everything else fell in a pit. I couldn't follow the stories, nor had any interest in doing so. Simple reason why Nashville gets 2/5, and Days for Night gets a 4.5/5.

Oh, I don't need to be stretchy. My arms are over a metre long. So, I cover quite a distance. :) I felt more like a sheep dog, keeping the sheep in line. :D

No, I have about an inch of room on planes, sometimes not even that. I got exit seats on this trip, which was awesome. I just think if someone is going to put back their chair, at least check who's behind them. Just a bastard thing to do. Especially when considering the guy was 5'5! Man, that guy is lucky i don't hit people, because he bloody deserved it.

It better bloody not happen again! :D You get that I'm not really angry, yes? :) Well........you're a fucking idiot for thinking that!! :D

Ep 8 of Game of Thrones shock you?

Yes, the roar was unbelievably loud in IMAX. My head felt bubbly. :)

Well, when you come to Australia, you can go to the world's biggest IMAX screen down at Darling Harbour. :)

How would you of handled it if a tourettes guy slapped you?

Oooh, yeah....Tucker's Knob was....ooooh.......so interesting..............creeping you out? :)

You can watch Army of Shadows on YouTube. :) That's how I saw it.

Edge of Tomorrow is fantastic. I was very close to giving it a 4.5/5. That ending just left a sour enough taste in my mouth to convince me not to raise the score. What did you think of the end?

Oh, you're very welcome my friend. Makes me happy you enjoyed Incendies so much. :)

People with tourettes will bite, jump, slap, and many more. Knowing this, and not being violent, I probably wouldn't slap him. But if he's a dick, and reacts the wrng way, I might have words with him.

Yep, you that's the gist of what I thought about the Edge of Tomorrow ending. However, I iknow I missed a few key points, as I lost interest because the emotional weight anchor was pulled up. :D So on a rewatch, there's a possibility of me changing my mind. I'm open to it. :)

Did you see the after credits scene in 22 Jump Street? I'm very excited to see the movie.

I know NOTHING about the announcements at this years E3! Please tell me what excited you, Gav. Ha, have I just called you Gav before? :D There's a Gav in my town, he sleeps standing up with a beer in his hand. :D

Yeah, I get what you mean. If it was clear he was doing it on purpose, i would be tempted to slap him, or at least hit him in the arm, which would kinda be hard.Because I don't hit people, when I do hit someone in the arm, I don't judge my strength very well. Sounds like I'm full of myself, but it's just what happens. Like at school when I was in a circle getting jokingly pushed by my friends. I finally shoved one in the shoulder, and he fell, and rolled about five metres. :D Just like me, I apologised, and helped him up, despite what he did. :) I guess the tourettes guy would have to sing a song about slapping me to make it 100% for me to do it. :D

I will check out that vid after I leave this comment.

Looks like we'll be siding at some point with Stannis next season. To be honest, I didn't even know who he was until late last season. :D I'm so bad remembering!

I have a thought about Bran just now!! But I think I should keep it to myself. :D Either it's true, andi spoil it, or it's wrong, and I disappoint you. :D

Yeah, I thought it was funny that they were on the trek for two very different reasons.

I think Bran will be extremely powerful. I'll leave it at that. :)

I only realise now that this actor playing The Mountain is the shortest of the three different actors. Both of the others were seven foot and over. He is ONLY 6'9. ;)

I think Dany means well, but how powerful can you get, before you become the enemy? That is the question you must ask yourself. :D She also seemed to enjoy her power at different times this season.

I wonder if they go open with the incest next year? They may as well! Everybody bloody knows!

I'm also eager to see what happens to Reek and that other psycho.

Where is Walder Frey?! Somebody better put his head on a stick next season. :)

Super pumped for Interstellar. Nolan is one of my favorite directors, and McConaughey, Casey Affleck and Jessica Chastain are three of my favorite actors. I hope it's good.

I'm very excited for Guardians of the Galaxy later on this summer. Aside from that and the ones you've lsited, I don't have many others as of now, although I may become more aware of them sooner to the end of the year.

Aw, thanks for the concern, sweetie! Does that creep you out? Me calling you sweetie? :D I bloody hope so!!! :) Nah, it's all good. Work just gets tough. I'm relied on quite heavily, as I have experience, and there is many people with none. Just wears me down. As I said to Cian the other day. I enjoyed The Paperboy, but the more I thought about it, the less I did. I realised it was because I watched it on a Friday after work. I was so relieved it was the weekend, that I would've liked any movie I watched. :) It scored 3.5/5, now it's 2/5.

I'm going to sound weird....maybe I am? Well, I don't bloody care. I'm just telling you. :) I sometimes make weird noises after work. :D Usually on a Friday. :D I just hit the relax mode button in my head. I'm such a laid back guy, but I have to be SUPER serious at work. So, every now and then, I may make a dumb noise. Last week, I came up with a catchy little song to go with a silly little dance. :D Was I drunk? Nope! I'm naturally like that! :D Want to know the words to the song? Sorry, a week of being SUPER serious deletes that little bit of joy/bloody-insane-weirdo from me. :) I must point out, before I go, that I was not doing a silly little dance to myself. Somebody was present. May make me weirder allowing somebody to see this? Eh, I don't care! :)

Nah, I haven't been too frequent on Letterboxd myself. I've lost the whole passion for it, I guess.

Enemy sounds promising! Did you watch it online or is it out on DVD yet?

Primer is on Netflix and I've heard good things about it, but I'm not in any particular rush to see any of Shane Carruth's films. They sound interesting, though.

Yeah, I'm excited for the new Star Wars films too. Did you hear the news that Rian Johnson will be writing and directing episode 8? What are your thoughts on this?

******Spoilers for Game of Thrones S4 finale********

Hah! I didn't really need to warn of spoilers. But I'll leave it! :)

Yep, Hobo is great. I'm usually on top of the over-the-top violent action films. :)

Nah, more like Mick Taylor from Wolf Creek meets John Bunting from Snowtown. That is a creepy fucker laugh.

They rely on me, but some don't know it. Also, they don't know certain things. So, I have to keep watch, otherwise they'll piss me off.

I'm super happy with Rian Johnson directing Episode VII. I'm really glad that Disney is bringing in real directors with eperience in making good sci-f films.

As for directors I'd like to see, in a perfect world Edgar Wright would get to do a Star Wars film, but Disney probably isn't too big a fan of his right now.
I'd also love to see Spielberg do one to have the whole thing come full circle.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller would also be good choices, but only if they made a spin-off of a really throwaway character, like the Blue Elephant or Porkins or that space worm that lives in the crator on the asteroid.
Thoughts on my picks? Which directors would you like to see have a shot at Star Wars?

Oh, this just came to mind. What versions of the Star Wars films did you see, the originals or the Special Edition versions with CGI blinking and stuff?

What animal would you prefer eat on a stick? Ah, do I mean little pieces of meat on a kebab stick? No! I don't mean that at all! Through the mouth, out the arsehole, and you've got to eat it! :D Your choices are: a razorback, or a polar bear? :D What animal do you consume? :)

I'll have a look for that gif. Not sure how successful I will be finding it.

I think the song was about the food dance stamp. Not sure. :)

I recommend Snowtown, but only when you are up for handling some disturbing, disturbing stuff. All true, too. Mick Taylor is at least not real. John Bunting is.

Kontroll is worth watching for how bloody unique it is. Subway cops, but in weird uniforms. A murderer on the loose. Pretty bloody awesome. I guarantee you haven't seen anything like it.

Ooh, Brad Bird is an excellent choice! He's really in with Disney as well from directing Tomorrowland to doing Incredibles and Ratatouille and stuff, so he's a very likely canditate.

I wouldn't mind too much if Cuaron did Star Wars instead of his own projects. I liked Gravity visually, but I think the writing lacked. If he did Star Wars, I think that someone else doing the script could result in a better product. Good choice!
Did Cuaron write Y Tu Mama Tambien or Children of Men? If so, did he do a good job?

Christopher Nolan would also be good, but I think he'd need to hav full creative control to really deliver. And I'm not sure if Disney is willing to do that.

I first saw the original trilogy a few years ago when I bought all three in a box set. Each movie had two discs; the first being the main feature with CGI and all, and the original cuts being available on the second discs as a special feature. I have never put any of the first discs into my player haha! I have seen the weird clunky effects on youtube, though. I saw the bit witht the singing bug in Jedi that spits in the camera and the infamous Greedo shooting first.
I don't think it would make much of a difference, though. If you ever plan to rewatch the trilogy, I would recommend seeking out the originals online or something. They are clearly the better versions. But you know the basic gist of how it would normally go from watching the Special Editions anyway, I suppose.

Did you watch the latest Blu-Ray special editions where Darth Vader comically screams "NOOOOOOOO!" before throwing the Emporor into the pit? That looked like it would have completely ruined the effect of the scene.

I find different cuts of movies interesting. I'll probably end up watching Blade Runner soon, and I've heard there are man cuts of the film as well. Which, if any, would you recommend?

Also, this just crossed my mind, but do you think this site should list Director's Cuts and Extended Cuts as seperate movies from Theatrical Versions?

Yeah 22 Jump Street had hilarious moments from a scene to scene basis! Some of my favorite parts included the scene at the Poetry Slam, any of the subtle humor laced throughout, and the scene at the dinner table!

That fight was hilarious, I'm glad you brought it up! Jonah Hill played his role so damn well, especially in that scene. Agreed, they did indeed have fantastic chemistry throughout?

Did you catch any of the Annie Hall references? TheHonestFilmFan told me about them, I didn't catch them myself lol.

There's also a scene with a jarringly out-of-place Jabba the Hut in the "First" Star Wars, where he has a conversation with Han about information we already know. Come to think of it, the first Star Wars isn't that badly affected by the additions, but Return of the Jedi is defintiely the worst of the three in terms of CG inplants. Empire remains pretty much the same, though.

Yeah, I ended up watching the Final Cut. Very interesting film, but I think I didn't really understand the whole thing, so I may need to watch it again in the future before I can have any definitive thoughts on it.

The idea of the different cuts has lots of pros and cons. After thinking about it for a bit, I think the listings are fine as they are. Maybe there could be some feature that could list a given film in your chart as being a particular cut depending on which version you watched. That would be cool. And if we split up movies like The Shining and Blade Runner into different cuts, it would kinda mess up the site's overall "BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME" chart.

BUT HEY! Isn't Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair just Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 put together? Doesn't that count as just a different cut?

Yeah,if that ending was a dream Travis had,that would mean he thought he was a hero,which I don't think he really wanted to be.I think he wanted to be a sacrifice,or a martyr maybe?I think he was trying to sacrifice himself for Iris,even if she didn't want him to.Thats probably why when the police showed up,he pretended to shoot himself(haha I know I'm gonna sound like a "film snob" that has to be the most haunting shot in all of cinema).

I've only seen it once,so I'm not really sure what it means when Travis looks in the mirror.

You know that part where Travis is writing in his diary and he say "listen all you f*ckers,you..."and then it stops and plays that part over again?What do you think Scorsese was trying to say there?

I also really liked Edge of Tomorrow, Looper, and Her. Upstream Color was a bit too inaccessible for my liking, but I think Shane Carruth has the potential to be a great filmmaker.

The only sci-fi movie I can really think about right now is Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. I've been waiting all year for this one. I heard some critic compare it to The Empire Strikes Back, which means I'm now OBSESSED with seeing this thing.

I think Cherry Blossoms is a movie for you. The first forty minutes feels like a remake of Tokyo Story (deliberately) but then the story breaks out into a new, fresh direction. Ah, I want to compare it more to Tokyo Story, but I would spoil! Anyway, this film has even given me new thoughts on Tokyo Story! I will say, don't look at any sypnosis for the film! Watch it not knowing anything. That's if you're going to watch it. :D It's a 5/5 film for me. Very strange at times, but that's alright. It's weird, this film made me feel like my heart enjoyed the film! :D I'm serious! Once the film was over, my head was slightly leaning down. I was thinking "that's weird". :D I think the film had such an affect on me, and I was also sad that it was over. If I find a copy, I'll be buying this film. I recommend this film to you, Peekaboo Murray.

Nebraska is just so godamn funny. Payne takes realistic moments (well, most of the time), and finds the comedy within. Bruce Dern is such an amazing actor, I can see that with this film. His character is a man of little words, but his face (and his eyes) tells a thousand stories. Dern and Squibb are just an amazing pairing. I had so many laughs! Another 5/5 film for me.

Oh, Interstellar is the other movie I'm dying to see. Nolan is my favorite filmmaker.

I've seen all the Marvel Cinematic Universe flicks so far, so I'm sure I'll see Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm not all that psyched to see it though, just because I'm not as familiar with that comic as I am with something like Iron Man or Captain America.

I'm a fan of P.T. Anderson's work (loved There Will Be Blood, liked Boogie Nights), but I haven't bothered to see The Master yet. I was looking forward to seeing it, but the unenthusiastic reviews for it scared me off. If Inherent Vice gets good buzz, I'll look forward to checking it out. If it doesn't, I'll probably hold off on seeing it - like The Master.

I haven't heard much about The Guest or Boyhood. I seen some of Linklater's more mainstream stuff, but none of his more independent work. I hadn't heard of Adam Wingard before, but I'll keep an eye out for his work.

I just watched The English Patient for first time. It was...exhausting (and not in a good way.) Have you seen it?

Film Sack, We Hate Movies, The Flop House, How Did This Get Made? and Yeah, it's That Bad make fun of bad films. I listen to them every now and then when I've seen the film. I have many fits of laughter from them. it's between Film Sack and The Flop House to which is my favourite. Elliot Kallan from The Flop House males me laugh very hard.

Podcast not about films i also listen to are Tofop, Walking the Room, WTF, The Dollop with Dave Anthony (where those crazy stories came from, bloody hilarious), The Rusty Fragment podcast (because it's Greg Fleet, the comedian dating my cousin), and Game Junk.

Upstream Color is a difficult film for me to understand. It hardly made any sense to me, and I had no idea what it was trying to accomplish. Like you said though, the film was emotionally engaging for some weird reason. The story just didn't do it for me though, so I'd give it like a 2/5.

Glad you liked it though :)

Well, I gave The English Patient a second chance yesterday and I guess it plays a bit better the second time around. It is still rather dull. It doesn't have any glaring flaws, other than that it's just too long and boring. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody, to be honest. The only reason why I watched it was because I want to rank all the recent Best Picture Oscar winners on Letterboxd and it was the only winner since 1990 that I hadn't seen.

I believe the people living near Corke Park where promised by Aiken Promosions that only a certain number of concerts would take place a year. They flat out broke this promise by extending the concerts from 3 nights to 5. The locals campaigned against it, and Garth Brooks disagreed with refusing anyone who had bought tickets unless he could refuse them all haha.
So yeah, I say fair play to the locals for standing their ground, as well as Garth for standing his. It's a shame that a compromise couldn't be met, as it could have brought £50 million into the Irish economy, but nobody is really making a deficit from this aside from maybe Aiken promotions, who in a way are to blame for selling the tickets to unliscenced concerts in the first place.

Did you know anyone who was going to go? I don't myself, but the local Dunnes Stores is stocked full of Garth cowboy hats and CDs and stuff, so there were plenty of them in the area.

I think they are trying to reach a compromise, but it's unlikely.

Oh, cool! What songs did you like the most?

Mrs. Brown's Boys D'MOOVIE . . . Ugh. Well, no, it's not an ugh. It's closer to an eh. Yeah, it's an eh. I only went to see it because one of my friends saw it. I don't if you listen to ARENA with Sean Rocks, but their biased snobby critics called it "Loyalist propaganda" and "Painful Sentimentality" regarding the portrayal of Dublin in the film. Yikes. It's not THAT bad. It's pretty interesting in that it's very Dublin-centric. All the locations are in Dublin, and it's sort of important to the storyline, of what little there is. The jokes are stuff you'd see from a kid trying to imitate a movie based on what he saw on The Simpsons and Shrek 2, by which I mean very basic and nothing we haven't seen before. However, there are some surprisingly clever jokes, none of which the audience I was in the theatre with laughed at. I found it odd, but they seemed like the type of people who rarely went to the movies. When a funny joke happened they would repeat the punchline to each other, ask questions about scenarios they couldn't understand, etc. It was really annoying.
There is also some really ballsy humour about blind people and retarded people and the IRA. And Brendan O'Carroll plays one of the most ruthlessly basic Chinese stereotypes I've ever seen in the form of a kung fu master named Mr. Yang. It's very shallow, and very dumb, but I laughed at it for the sake of how much guts it took in this day and age to flat out use the term "RETARDED" towards disabled people, albeit indirectly.
In conclusion, I just checked my brain out at the door (which I haven't done with a movie in a very very long time) but even then, I couldn't get past how just plain eh it was. I was also cranky after seeing it, which may have been subliminal as I didn't notice it may have resulted from the film until days later.

What do you think about Mrs. Brown's Boys? I take it you're not a fan by your "Oh, dear" :)

I also rewatched Rushmore over the weekend, and it jumped considerably on my chart. It used to be around 175 and now it's at 94. :D

Jay makes me laugh so much. He's actually a filmmaker, did you know?

Very strong purchases in my eyes. :)

Yes! I knew we had! As soon as I sent that, I recalled us talking about I Saw the Devil.

I stole your copy of I Saw the Devil! :D Come get it, dickhead! :D :D

Of course I want your thoughts on the films! :)

Hopefully you can see Boyhood! I actually watched it on Saturday, and my word. It's beyond an amazing movie. Everything about it was so real, genuine, and perfect. The music choices, performances, and direction felt so damn fantastic! It cracked my top 100, and it could honestly move up soon, the more I think about it. It's such an accomplishment, and it was just fucking amazing. It honestly made me cry at some points!

Hey man, I just realized that on an old comment, I said that I had 357 Blu-rays! That was a mistake, I have 248. I was including DVD's with that count for some reason!

If you're looking for albums I would really recommend Good Old Boys. A bunch of really underrated songs like Kingfish, Naked Man and Rollin'. I got into him through the Lonely at the Top: The Best of Randy Newman CD, and it has a lot of his best work on it.

Nope, I ain't a fan. I get why some people like it, but I'd rather watch something a little less . . . y'know, bad.

I think Rushmore is widely regarded as one of Anderson's best. His new films are way more popular, though. He's cracked the code, man. It's really really hard not to like him.

I just rewatched There Will Be Blood today, and it jumped from around my 200 spot to my 34 spot! I see it's your number two. You wanna talk about it?

I think that Daniel cares for no one other than himself, shown by his speech to Henry about how he sees only the worst in people. But in his son, he sees the potential for another version of himself, his own "Blood" so to speak. So when he appears to love his son, I think it is genuine emotion, but he feels it because HW is basically a mini-Daniel. This is the same when he is first introduced to his supposed brother, he sees the potential for his blood to live on (There Will Be "Plainview" Blood) and shows love and care for that reason. When HW goes deaf, he is no longer able to be another Daniel, as much of his profession is based around conning people out of their oil through gathering them together and TALKING to them. Then when (SPOILERS) HW says he's leaving for Mexico, Daniel sees that he cannot be him at all and tells him the truth about how he was a poster child for his drilling business. However, I think even though this may be true, the emotion Daniel showed towards him wasn't without truth.

What are your thoughts on my interpretation of the title, where the "Blood" is actually Daniel's familial successors?

There are numerous other mentions of familial terms throughout the film. One in particular I noticed was when Eli defends himself from Daniel at the end by saying "We're brothers, Daniel! We're brothers!"
Any interpretations of this?

At work, we were in a course. Within our group, their was two sections that were having different lunch times. I was in the later group, that had a different time than usual. Anyway, that sets up what happened. We were walking out, and a guy I work with, his wife turned up yelling about him being late. Now, there's this HUGE car park she had to turn around in, but she decided to reverse up, and try and turn around in a tiny gap that connects two car parks. My car, was right there!! She reversed into it as we were going to lunch. I got a quote yesterday, and there's $1500 damage. They'll have to pay for it. Stupid woman! But what pissed me off, was that everybody added stuff to the story. They said she just drove off without saying anything, which isn't true!! I have had to correct about ten people so far!! They all say it the same way as well!

Naming his dick Elmo! :D Oh, I laughed so much when he dressed his dick up like Abe Lincoln. :D Oh, and the old fella getting his old fella stuck in the plaster! :D Amazing! :D

Oh, cool! Well, remember a certain thing over the city? Well, I missed that! :D So, the last moment completely came out of nowhere for me. :D

Just going back and watching scenes that I thought meant one thing, but meant something entirely different. Gyllenhaal talking in the mirror, the wife visiting him at uni, plus more. Now, do you take the ending as a metaphor, or do you literally think that is what's happening?

*********Spoilers for Enemy*****************

Love your theory! I fully support it, and is a great answer. I personally don't see it that way, but I'm not saying you're wrong. I think this is a film the audience can take a bunch of ways, and still not be wrong.

I interpreted this film very basically. :) I just took it to be a Body Snatcher film (without the invasion) with commentary on totalitarianism. Granted, not the most complex theory, but I get the most enjoyment out of this interpretation. I will keep your thoughts in mind the next time I see it. I'll be interested if it holds up just as well for me. If so, this could seriously be a five star film.

Yeah, I think that Daniel killed those two people because they claimed to be his brother because of his deeply-rooted need for a family, and his knee-jerk reaction to being lied to further shows this.

I checked out The Master in an attempt to get into more Paul Thomas Anderson films and I really liked it! Not as good as TWBB but still an excellent film that can lead to many different interpretations. How do you feel about the film?

Not sure! I don't think it is Aussie slang, but I might be wrong. It makes me smile when I see John Thomas in the credits of the Predator films. :)

Yes! Wally down here. :D Maybe Waldo isn't a popular name here? Anyway, Where's Wally? Is much catchier!

The babies being the smartest beings in the world if they could talk is a bloody doozy. :D Look what money and fame at a young age does to you!

Well, it used to be GIANT!! In the 70's and 80's, my dad said they were three times the size they are now. I can fit it in my palm now, but have to pay more for it. That pisses me off. They sneakily give you less in products, but the price rises. Usually when they're advertising A BRAND NEW DESIGN!!! to put us off from the fact that we've been ripped off.

Man, I don't like the sound of chocolate in bread. At least with cream and jam on bread, it's smooth. Those two just don't work in my mind. Hot yoghurt sounds revolting!

Yep, I loved Fargo. I was pleasantly surprised. I recommend giving it a go. Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman are awesome.

C'mon, thoughts on Cherry Blossoms? :)

Exciting to see Boyhood in your top ten.

Have you heard of Carry A Nation?

I accidentally hit my little toe on the door just now. One of those pains that makes you act like a little girl. :)

I backhand swatted a mozzy once. Put my whole hand through the wall. :D I didn't think I did it that hard! :D I wonder if it was dead? :) You said IT instead of Fargo!! Made me check! That's your face next time!! :D You bloody bastard. :)

No, ya dickheel! :D Yes, I , meant dickheel, no typo. :D The John Thomas slang was already there, then I laugh because the guy has the same name in the Predator credits. I have now found the origin of the John Thomas reference. The main guy in the novel Lady Chatterly's Lover named his dick John Thomas. So, everybody stated saying it. :)

I hate Jaden's look he gives for photos. The raised eyebrow, I'm too cool look.

Did I tell you I watched Kate's play? She's on a tv show soon, too.

Man! I don't know about those Iceburgers!! Do they taste better than they look?! :D

Fargo is a miniseries like True Detective as well. You don't have to wait season after season for answers. I'm liking the structure of these series!

Yes, Cherry Blossoms did look a bit cheap, I agree. But what I like is that the film embraces life, instead of wallowing in self pity that we see in Tokyo Story. One film, a man sits and waits to die. The other, the man gets out, and enjoys the precious little bit of life left, even if it is out of guilt. Not saying anything negative about Tokyo Story, I just like the comparison. One question. Are kids really as big of dicks to their parents as they are in these two films? I will bitch slap myself if I ever act like this when my parents get older. Sure, there will be trying times, but being a dick won't help the situation. :)

Boyhood sounds awesome. We'll have to talk about it for sure, budster. :)

Marsupalami lami running through the jungle!

That really did happen, too. Saw a mozzy, gave a casual backhand at the wall, and put my whole hand through. :D

I'll tell you about Cap'n Video and Carry A Nation another day when it isn't so late. :)

I understood everything you said.....I think. :)

I think The Raid 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy have an enormous chance to be in my top 100. Maybe even top 50, or 10? I just think they'll deliver. I'm trying not to hype in up, but I secrety am. :D

I think Spielberg is my favorite director. He is just a beast. :) Indiana Jones, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Jaws, Jurassic Park, E.T., Minority Report, etc. I also really like Kubrick. I just had a marathon of his films and really came to appreciate 2001: A Space Odyssey, which I see is one of your favorites. I really haven't seen that many films from Scorsese. The only ones I've seen of his is The Departed and Shutter Island. However, I'm sure I will love some of his early work like, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas.

Wow! Boyhood cracked the top 10! Thoughts?

Loved the play. Went out and bought the book the next day. Then, accidentally left it at my sister's house. :D Kate really knows how to work with material that has the Aussie spirit in them. Oh, she's on an upcoming tv show with Rebecca Gibney, too. Don't know how big the part is.

The set design on Jasper jones was awesome. When they went to this dam, a character would quickly make a circle with sand in the corner. It the shone blue. These lines on the wall represented a tree (imagine it looks like a trees fingerprint). Then, when they turned on these rotating lights (which were peaches on the tree) the lines on the wall also became the ripples in the dam. Very clever.

I think both Guardians of the Galaxy and The Raid 2 at least make my top 100. From what I know/seen from the films, they will have to mess up quite a bit for it not to happen. These two films seem designed for me. If they incorporate music into the film like they did in the Guardians trailer, I'm sold! Ooga chaka ooga chaka!! That gives me chills of excitement everytime. :D

Didn't get the Marsupilami reference? :D I had forgot about the whole show. But Frank n Film Junk saying it zapped the whole theme song into my head. :D It has laid dormant for 15 years. :D You were probably too young for Marsupalami. :)

Loved the Mad Max: Fury Road trailer! The visuals are breathtaking! I won't be watching anymore trailers, because I don't want to see anymore. 2015 is going to be a huge year for movies! It'll be the year I see my first Star Wars film in the cinema.

Did you notice the mask Tom Hardy is wearing? Reminds me of Bane. Which brings me to my weird thought that won't happen, but I like to think about it in my head. :)
I like to think this film, is secretly a Lord Humungus (from Mad Max 2) origins story. It tells the rise of a drifter (who just happens to also be named Max), from prisoner, to Lord of his motorcycle gang of marauders. This film tells the story of how earned their trust, and how he got severely mangled. Yet, for the majority of the film, we still think he's Mad Max, with the reveal only happening at the end. As the film is finishing we see a lone figure walking through the thick dust storm, with face concealed by hood. He stops, takes it off to reveal Mel Gibson as Max. The two men named Max stare at each, then credits roll. :D

Crazy thoughts, huh? But I can't get rid of it! Until proven otherwise, i think this thought won't go away. :D Imagine if that's true! I would shit my pants if they did that! :D But Hardy will be Max, I know. But the thing is, he could totally pull off playing Lord Humungus.

The documentary Beauty Day was about him. He's quite a character! When the pool plunge happened, my jaw was wide open!!

I'm going to rewatch The Raid 2 today. :D I may as well get my monies worth on the online rental.....oh, and because I love it. :D What I would like is for the story to flow a little bit better the second time. If it doesn't, I may need to drop it down.

Still thinking about my favourite fight. I have two problems with that guy. One, I don't think he is as good as Mad Dog, and two, he resorts to weapons when he knows he is being beaten. I would do the same, but I'm watching a film here! :D If you were beating me up, and there's a bat nearby, I wouldn't think twice about smashing your top lip with it. :D Specifically your top lip. That would stang!! (purposely wrote stang....hurt so much that it's on another level to a sting :D)

It definitely won't happen. It's like somebody incepted my brain. The thought won't go away that it's a Humungus origins story. :D I hope he's Mad Max.....but what if I was right? The satisfaction!! :D

Nope, it didn't fall out of my top ten. The story flowed so much better. But I have questions that I will put in the spoiler section below. I'm also wondering if The Raid deserves a top ten spot also. At least maybe the top 20. Also debating Vampire's Kiss being higher. :D

Yep, Taxi Driver was my top ten. But when it fell out, it didn't feel right. So, I moved Star Wars out. Now, Star Wars amazes me the next time, I may need to find room for it again.

********Spoilers for The Raid 2***************

Do you know the feeling I got from both times I watched it? That Mad Dog and this blade guy (does he have a name?) have a connection of some sort. I was thinking they could be brothers. As soon as he saw him, he knew he was dead. There is the possibilty that he just knew him from reputation, but I like the brother angle, makes the scene more personal. Did he send the other thugs first because he knew he couldn't take him?

Yeah, I guess Rama was better in this film. But what I like about the Mad Dog fight in The Raid was the stakes were high, as they were clearly outmatched. Whilst in The Raid 2, the guy had to resort to blades because he wasn't good enough. Granted, it's still a bloody amazing fight scene, but that is the thought in the back of my head both times I saw it.

I loved the insane look on his bloodied face during the pause in the middle of the fight. He says so much about his character just with his eyes, especially as they were just starting the fight. Oh, I liked how he gave him his shoulder to lean on. Was that out of respect?

What was with the club scene with Mad Dog? How long was he sitting there for? Did he not notice?

I still am a little unclear about the prisoners connection to that guy with the walking stick. He had the same tattoo as the prisoner, but I don't get it.

Oh, I love the score!! Perfectly ramps up the energy, and matches the speed of the action. The kitchen fight is a great example of it ramping up.

************Spoilers for The Raid 2************

I'm still thinking about what my favourite fight is. Plus it's getting very late, so I'll reply to you tomorrow budster. :)

Nope, I've only told you. :D Most of my friends wouldn't know who the hell Humungus is. :) if it doesn't happen, I would still like a complete surpass like that in another film. I mean, we get spoiled so much, wouldn't it be nice to be left crapping our pants in shock and awe? :)

Oh, and I'm so glad I didn't watch any full trailers for The Raid 2! None of it was spoiled for me. Made for an awesome viewing. :)

*******Spoilers for The Raid 2**************

Now, did you know that wasn't Mad Dog in this film? I did not. I thought he had survived, and became a hobo character after losing his boss. But, I just found out it was the same actor, playing a different character. That threw me off, especially when he was actually sitting next to a dog (I thought like his name)when we see him.

Oh, when I was talking about the assassin, I was talking about him at the club. But now knowing it isn't Mad Dog somehow makes him a less intimidating character to me. Also, the brother angle is lost to me. I wish they just had him return as Mad Dog. I still think the two have some past history, though.

Just the way Rama stuck his shoulder out to stop him falling seemed like something you'd do out of respect. Although, if that bastard pulled knives on me, the last feeling he would have would be a broken nose from hitting the kitchen floor. :D

I eventually got that he was in a trance. But it was very jarring to me.

Yep, that makes more sense now. But weren't they protecting the son at one stage in prison?

I had to drop it down my list. Still too many confusing spots to be above Raiders and Taxi Driver. I just wish it was Mad Dog. Humbled by defeat, he tries to change his ways. I find it even believable that he didn't get his neck broken because how damn strong his neck appears to be. :) Maybe I'll make him Mad Dog in my head? Just because I like that better. :D

Yes! Exactly! :D But I'm sure of it! He makes a clear movement to halt him falling to the ground. I would've let him fall, then kissed him in the ear for pulling knifed on me. What a nagging pain being kicked in the ear would be as you're dying. :D

Well, the guy was sitting with him at the start. I also thought I heard some comment from him that they're protecting him. I could be wrong, though.

I may see Cheap Thrills, Dersu Uzala, and Around the World in Eighty Days (1956) soon. I'm definitely watching Guardians this weekend. Having Friday off work, to much on.

It's possible we can see them again in The Raid 3, but maybe we should be left wanting more, instead in of getting too much.

I really liked Boyhood for the most part. Acting was good, directing was good. Transitions between the different years were really good. But I did have a few problems with the film. The ending seemed to drag on and on and on and on. It was at least 15 minutes too long, I'd say. And that scene with the plumber in the restaraunt was laughably stiff, imo. "Hey. I'm the guy that did this earlier. Let me introduce myself. Okay, bye." It baffled me, to say the least.
But most of the movie was actually pretty great! The writing at points was top-notch and I would completely understand what someone could see in it to make it worthy of a spot on the Top 10.
Thoughts on my criticisms? Wanna talk spoilers on the ending?

I like the idea, even if it's not that great of an ending for the character, considering how he nor neither of his parents had any good come from a relationship that showed prosperity at first, so why should this one be any different? I'm being cynical, I guess. I liked the ending, but I just wish we could have gotten to it sooner. Or had the bit where he was taking the photos be the end. That would've suited me, but ah, well.

Did I say how funny I thought his boss at the restaurant was?! Holy shit, he had me in tears! Just the way he delivered his lines in the situation they were in. Do you feel the same way?

***Boyhood Spoilers***
I don't remember Ethan Hawke's wife being at the party, maybe they broke up, maybe they didn't. I suppose it's all open to interpretation though, I just think it's cool that I can look at the same movie so many different ways.

Do you plan on seeing it again in the theater or waiting until the DVD?

I thought Partricia Arquette's scene was very powerful, and a kind-of summary of what the movie is as a whole. She looks at her basic life pesimistically, while the film looks at Mason's optimistically, similar to how the film could be viewed both ways by it's audience.

I'm not sure we're talking about the right scene. I was talking about the scene where Mason is chatting up the girl he works with at the restaurant and his boss gives out to him by going like "You have life after this. Shape up and stop procrastinating. Now wash those dishes."
I thought that scene was hilarious. I thought it was intentionally hammy, and mocking all of those types of scenes you see in coming-of-age movies. The character of the boss was really funny too, especially at Mason's party later on, where he comments on the attractiveness of Mason's mother.

Okay, I'll have a look at the song. I'm actually watching Louie right now.

My favourite characters were Quill, Rocket, and Yondu. Micahel Rooker was awesome! Loved the colours, the acting, the chemistry between characters. All great. I kept forgetting that two don't exist. Ha, the world we live in! To think that tree people and talking raccoons don't exist! Shitty! :) My complaint is a BIG one for me. I wanted ooga chaka music to an action scene! That big one at the end, would've been ten times better with that! Instead, we get generic action music we've heard a thousand times before.

Yeah, but should we have to get used to generic action music? Especially with this film, where Marvel had actually broken away from their formula. Actually, they could've had generic action music when everything was grim, but when the tide turned, it should've been all OOGA CHAKA OOGA OOGA CHAKA!!! I would've wanted to punch the air if that happened, and would've been even further up my list. :)

I didn't have a problem with Zoe Saldana. I would like to see some more character from her in the next film, though. I did like that she was just randomly waiting for Quill, then had a conversation before attacking him. :D

Lost in Translation was great! I loved Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, and it had a really unique atmosphere. I like how the theme of miscommunication was present in nearly every scene. And the ending. Wow. I love how real the characters had become by that point, that they could just exist and share a moment outside of the audience's ear. Inspired, something I've never seen done before.

I plan on watching Once Upon a Time in America soon, but since that's nearly 4 hours long it may take some time to organize a night where I can just watch it all the way through. I also picked up American Psycho, so I could check that out as well. Have you seen these films?

No! We will still be driving through. It'll be interesting to see what it's like. We just won't slow down. :) They better watch out. If they want to fight, and I can't get away, I'll take a few of them with me. :) Let's hope for all our sakes they don't do that. I am a guy to be feared with my sister with me. Hopefully it's not a town like that. I know of some that if somebody gets out of a car, the locals calls over 40 guys. We'll just keep on driving, and not find out.

Okay. Wombats have square poos. :D I don't know why, but I know that. Also, they're surprisingly fast. They can get up to speeds of 35km/h. Think they're fat? Well, you'd be wrong. Wombats are pure muscle. If they were compared to people, they're the bodybuilder of the animal kingdom. Just a ball of muscle, which they use to their benefit. When a predator follows them into a burrow, it's impossible for them to break the skin of the wombat's butt. So, if the animal tries to get over the top, the wombat uses it's hind legs to kick (like a horse) the predator into the roof of the tunnel! :D The force smashes the animals jaw, and I think they're known to suffocate the animal as well. :D We are worried about them running out onto the road. Because they're all muscle, they cause huge amounts of damage underneath your car. Sometimes, they even act like a launching pad, flipping cars onto the roof. Imagine a honey badger vs a wombat?! Epic battle! :D Lucky they live on different sides of the planet. We'd all die eventually if they got into a fight. The carnage would be world changing! :D


Nearly hit an eagle yesterday. Just after saying the averages is we will see some animal on the road. :D We avoided driving too early, or at night. That's when the animals are active. Then, around 3pm, then started moving again. We nearly hit an echidna! Never seen a wild one before. It didn't care that we were there! Just waddling along it was. It's not like we're going to run THAT thing over! :D But, i'm still worried about these wombats the most. You can see for miles for the most part, so, a camel or cattle should be easy to avoid. But wombats, they can be in the short grass, and you wouldn't know.

I'm right on the S.A border. Off again in a few hours. Done 1700 kilometres in two days so far. :)

Okay, here's my Top . . . 8? Yeah, 8. I'd saw I've only seen 8 movies this year that I'd consider favorites.
1. Calvary
2. The Grand Budapest Hotel
3. The Lego Movie
4. 22 Jump Street
5. Frank
6. Locke
7. The Stag
8. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
All of them are great, and nearly in my Top 100. Nearly. The top 5 all definitely are. Perhaps Calvary might drop after a little bit, but I hope not, cause that first viewing left me floored.

Any movies you plan on checking out soon?

I don't know as much about echidnas. What I do know is about their dick. :D It's four headed, and has spines on it. :O

Passed that troubled town with no trouble. Long day today. Did 9.5 hours of driving. the last 100km was very slow, due to their being literally hundreds of goats on the side of the road! What made it easier, was the goats were quite smart! Every time we were coming, they walked away calmly. Not like bloody stupid kangaroos!

Saw a random clothesline. :D It was near the road, with old clothes on them. :D No house anywhere to be seen! Further up, their was random things in trees. One was for hats, another for bras, one for shoes, and one for chairs! :D

I tell ya, I have no idea how people live in some of these "towns". One shop, and one house is what some of the towns are. Some of the towns have abandoned, horrible houses. Yet, people still live there. Baffles me. One place looked like a jail in a western, yet it was a bakery. I could tell, as it had BAKERY painted on the side in black paint. :)

Comedy is so subjective, that it all comes down to if it makes you laugh all not. It's a huge difference in our scores, but a drama may have been a better choice from me. I'll look again. :) Oh, I did see we also disagree about Team America, Yes Man, and The Mask. Also Daredevil, but I I get why you score it as you do. I watched the director's cut, and didn't mind it.

Daredevil director's cut is no masterpiece, but it's an improvement for sure.

Do you think about your star rating when ranking on here? For my list, I consider the star rating. If I know I gave it five stars, it has to be up in the 250 and up area. If I give a film four stars, it needs to be around the 1000 mark on my list. If I can't justify moving it that high up, then I know that I have to reconsider my star rating.

A Most Wanted Man was really really good! A very well-made crime film with a much more human touch than you might expect. I saw it as a very interesting film, and don't know whether to call it optimistic or pessimistic. It's environments are very cold and lifeless, yet the film focuses on the core compassionate relationships between the characters, which I found really interesting and fresh. I'd really encourage you to see it so we could talk about this in more depth. Oh, and Philip Seymour Hoffman was outstanding. Wouldn't be surprised if he got an Oscar nod for it.

My view on John Michael's comments are that they suck. They're elitist, snobby and completely unfounded. Did he just watch Mrs. Brown's Boys and ignore the last few years of solid films? How about this very year, for example? He seems to ignore The Stag, Frank and Jimmy's Hall. I mean, seriously? Irish film is better right now than it has ever been, imo. So many exciting films coming out just this year, and he pulls these statements out of his ass for the sake of being controversial.

BUT . . . He could have been misinterpreted by the media. Maybe he just said that he wasn't an Irish director (which is true, as he was born and raised in England) and it just got spun out of hand. I mean, it happened to Martin McDonagh early in his career, when people reported that he hated all other playwrights and had little interest in theater, which later proved to be false. This could just be history repeating itself. We don't really know for sure right now, it could be either, to be honest. I hope it's the second one, though.

Ummmm. No Retreat, No Surrender was like a C grade Karate Kid. It also features one of the most annoying fat guy bullies of all time!! I gave it a 2.5/5 for how ridiculous it was in a fun way. :)

People blatantly disrespecting me is a big one that gets me angry. Arrogant people who do stuff, despite you telling them not to. As I get older, my temper gets shorter.

I think I'm seriously awesome at containing my anger. I've never hit someone, despite having many reasons to do so in the past. Like when one of my "friends" took my large swag (for my height), then I had to use his. I woke up with hypothermia. When I first found out, I felt like smashing him in the fucking face. I sat in the dark, just holding back my anger. The next day in the car with my other friends I was in the front, and he was behind me. I gave a pretty blunt threat that left the car silent. I don't talk to him now, don't need people like that around me. What do you think? I just think it was a low down, dog act. This guy was supposed to be my friend. I never did anything to him. Personally, I would rather go without a swag, then blatantly take another.

I think I did very well to hold back. P.S I'm not a psycho. :)

Watched Maniac Cop. Gave it 3.5/5. Also saw Maniac Cop 2.....4.5/5! :D Such a fun film! I could tell they gave them more money for the budget, and then they spent it on stunts. One scene was a woman handcuffed to the steering wheel of a moving car outside the car! Bloody great!

I hope you see this. I can't get on Letterboxd because of a problem since they changed old code or something. I don't really know what I'm talking about. Anyway, I can't add a film, see star ratings or load the activity stream at the moment.

Maybe until I have figured out the problem.

Nope, no injuries so far. But a few house have been lost. But the town still stands.

This is the first time I've genuinely worried about a bushfire for here. I saw the glow from the fire from my bedroom window last night. I can't see it now, but that might be because it's a little lighter outside.

All the water they drop from helicopters does nothing. They even brought in an air crane that's too big to land here to drop water.

Yeah, I've asked Letterboxd and did everything they said. I think whatever changes they did affected my old iPad. I'll get my new one up and running when I have a spare minute.

Thoughts on Pratt as Indiana Jones? I've thought of it before, but i'm not sure if I want it. It would be hard not seeing Ford as Indy.

The fire is 196km long and has burnt 60,000 hectares. It also sends embers out further ahead, creating even more fires. The wind has really been a problem for them. The towns have been saved so far because of the amazing hard work from the firefighters. But when dealing with something that unstoppable, anything could happen.

I've already packed a car load of gear and took it to the town over just in case. Want to be prepared if they say we have to get out tomorrow.

Watching Kate's show Winter in a minute. Got messages from her saying she would do a rain dance for us. When I told her the above info she texted: "Faaarrrrkkkk".

There has been rain, which has helped the firefighters. But it's still huge and out of control. It's was 250km in size and had burnt 85,000 hectares. The size of the fire would've dropped a bit from the hard work overnight. My town is safe for now, but it's now other towns under threat. It could come back our way at some stage. Depends on the winds.

There has been some real dickheads. One guy said he was fine with his house burning down as long as the trees outside his house were fine and still doesn't agree with controlled burns. See, I get why we need to protect the environment.....to a point! Human live is priority, not fucking trees.

Wineries are also against controlled burns because they think the smoke affects the grapes. They have gone so far as the threaten to sue if controlled burns in certain areas go ahead. Fuck the grapes I say! Just rich greedy fuckers putting money ahead of people. And you know what? They don't even have evidence to show that the smoke affects the grapes.

Oh, and city people in Perth are against controlled burns because they get coughs from the smoke. Harden the fuck up I say! Fucking people.

I'm watching Kingsman today. I'm excited. :)

Just bought Black Mirror The Collection, Orphan Black season one and two for $30 (one season alone was $28! :D) and The Little Death on Blu-ray!

I absolutely loved Kingsman! My type of film. I already told you I hoped one day that Firth did a film like this. Well, this is what I pictured him doing! Quite strange really. Vaughn and I think alike. :D

I also didn't mention that I bought Legend of Korra season three and the Zodiac Director's Cut. :)

I've never seen anything like the church scene before. Wow, just wow. Now, THAT is awesome gunplay action! I think this blows away John Wick bloody easily in that category. What humour didn't work for you? Did you think Jackson's lisp was unnecessary or you didn't mind it? I thought the young guy was great. Did you think the story got bogged down a bit in the training section? Oh, and I loved Strong's line delivery in this film!

I want a sequel, so I definitely want it to be a hit.

Watching Alice in Wonderland. I'm guessing it has been 16 years since I've seen it. It's all coming back to me. :) I love it, despite the lack of story.

Yep, it's a spin off of The Last Airbender. I'm not a big anime watcher, but I like these shows.

Haha! You have Zodiac now, so it's again not a priority. :D It's only four minutes longer, so I wonder if there will be much different.

Maybe I was in a bad mood watching John Wick? Because I really needed more from the gunplay.

Ah, the end didn't work for you. :D I loved how weird it was. It was me and the women in the cinema laughing at that joke. All the other guys seemed uncomfortable with it. :)

Well, we kinda did see what was going to happened with the after credits scene from Colin Firth. He was doing everything the same. They may have run away, because they were aware what was going to happen. I did laugh at their reactions when he shut the door. :)

It's up there with Kick-Ass, but it still has the advantage. The church scene rivals many in Kck-Ass, but then it lacks any more. Sure, there was still awesome action, but when I think of Kick-Ass, I think of the Big Daddy warehouse scene, Big Daddy/Kick-Ass rescue attempt and the end action scene as highlights.

Do you think they deliberately left martial arts training out of the boot camp part of the movie so to leave it all for the end?

Alice in Wonderland is quite bonkers. :)

Oh, I was fine with the club scene. What I felt was lacking was the action in the house. I just felt it wasn't interestingly shot, or had enough creative moments to keep me interested. I also feel too many money shots were in the trailer. I saw the trailer heaps of times, so it might've hindered my viewing.

Hard for me to place Kick-Ass action scenes as well. The score really helps the Big Daddy warehouse action for me. That epic music stays with me. Love it! But for pure joy, Ht Girl would be above it. I can't choose! Too hard for me! :D

I was tense for a moment with the dog scene, but I started laughing at the closeup on that ugly pug face. :) I also laughed at all the talk about Firth's dog. Great stuff.

Well, I haven't seen Lords of Salem, but I hear there's witches in that film. There's also Suspiria, Inferno, The Craft (sort of), The Woods (which I didn't like), and Black Sunday, that I can think of. There must be more. I'm also aware of Season of the Witch (1973) and Witchcraft (1964).

Yeah, I had a good laugh. There is one place called Rockingham not far from here that is FULL of people like that. When I'm at the mall, I constantly shake my head at the people walking around.

The same guy made two vids called Yolo and Yolo 2. Watch them, if you dare!

Awesome news about Spider-Man! Who do you think should be cast? I personally think they should bring back Tobey Maguire. I'm sick of the high school and uni storyline of Peter Parker. We've seen it twice, let's not see it again! I want to see him older! It would shock people if he was cast.

I would love to see him in Cap 3, however, Maguire might not be too keen to coninue with his own solo movies again when he would be in his mid to late 40's by the time he's done.

I just did some reading. Apparently from one one article (who could be full of shit), Marvel DO want an older Spider-Man. If that's the case, they have to chase Maguire. Besides, I'm sure he wouldn't mind the money. :D He hasn't been a lead in a film for a while.

Oh, and if it's not Maguire, I don't really care who it is. :) My first hope would then be that the story is original! Enough about Uncle Ben! He's dead, boo hoo. Enough romance! Let's have an action focused Spider-Man, dealing with issues he hasn't faced before.

Well, looks like I don't get what I want. Back to high school for Peter Parker if the rumours are true, with Logan Lerman as the best option. They better present it well in Civil War, because it doesn't shout epic to me seeing a kid. Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy Spider-Man is with the Avengers, but I'm not sure yet.

All the witch films are older. I know of a few more. But I agree, witches would be fun to see return. Films with witches can be very creepy if done correctly.

I hope not! I hear Marvel don't want to do the origin story, so hopefully they just drop us into Parker as Spider-Man. If they have to show Uncle Ben, I would be fine with a flashback. But Sony still has the last say, so that could be annoying.

Not a problem! I understand that you'll have to deal with life shit every now and then. :)

Been down to look at the damage from the fire. Wow, it just stretches as far as the eye can see. Black, smoldering and no life at all. I feel sorry for the thousands of little animals that would've died. Not the kangaroos, though. They have all that speed and still couldn't get away. They probably ran straight at it.

************Spoilers for May*********

Haven't seen it for about eight years, so I can't remember the tattoo. Was it Anna Farris that got her throat slit? That bloody messed me up.

**********Spoilers for May***********

Michael Stuhlbarg is unrecognisable in Cut Bank. I would like to find out why he is so strong, there must be a reason. That big guy he grabs wants nothing to do with him. Also, is Billy Bob in every film like this? :D Oh, and yeah, Teresa Palmer does look like Kristen Stewart. Two Aussies in Cut Bank. :)

No, it's still not working. I have left you a message on there from another iPad, though. :)

Forgot about A Serious Man. I remember him more for Boardwalk Empire now. He must've been in the military, you think? Or just him being psycho is enough for a big guy to look threatened when grabbed? Actually, he DID have him in a tight grip. Doesn't matter how big you are when someone has you there! :)

That's fine. I expected you to miss them. :)

Do you know what I tried because I was curious for a couple of minutes? Omegle! Damn! Fuckin' pervy! :D I found out about it because I saw a guy dressingnup in freaky makeup scaring people. :)

Yeah, I like the line, but don't like that they stole it from Watchman. If it can be over the top fun and not have a stupid storyline, then I may enjoy it. It could easily be shit. Mortal Kombat will probably stay as my favourite video game movie. :)

No, I didn't watch Tusk. I will eventually. :) Maybe next week?

I'll probably be an old man before the bush looks like it did before the fire.

He is so little, yet seems so strong! I kinda wish he didn't have a stutter. Seems like it's typical of that type of character.

I met one decent person on Omegle, but the rest were strange! One persons first thing he/she said to me was they had a bellybutton fetish. :D I disconnected. :D I thought is was going to be a friendly place like Flickchart or Letterboxd. My mistake! :)

All the Resident Evil movies are bad, yet I've seen nearly all of them. :) The problem with video games movies is they don't spend enough time on the script. They never learn. They hire proven shit writers, then are surprised when the film fails. They can have the best cast in the world, but if if falls flat in the script, it gives them nothing to work with.

I didn't want to say Shutter Island because I think the twist will be similar. I may be WAAAY off. :)

I forget the Resident Evil titles. So bloody generic and boring. You could swap them all around and it wouldn't change a thing. I used to really enjoy the first Resident Evil, but a bit I watched a few months ago just didn't hold up. Man, the special effects on the Dog's are terrible! I used to be freaked out! :) I kinda just watch them to see how the story finishes, but I have lost track now.

See! I tried to spare you from knowing! You just wanted to know! :D Yes, I hope I'm really wrong! :)

I liked Boyhood somewhat. I found the protagonist to be annoying as he aged, and was more invested in the parents. I also thought that the story lacks substance for a three-hour film. I mean, really, Arquette's character gets married to an ordinary guy who turns into a raging alcoholic TWICE? So on a technical level, I think Linklater's directing is impressive, and the concept is solid, but it needed something more than that. I enjoyed his Before trilogy and Dazed and Confused more than Boyhood.

He always said people didn't get Torque. I see the imdb score.

Which is fair enough. I am usually the same, whatever hits me hardest on an emotional level. I just think it's a unique film for me that I can enjoy either way.

All the characters in Sabotage were the same. Not distinguishing personalities. I really didn't get how they knew 10 million was taken, it was shot poorly, had no tension, overacting, a stupid ending that didn't make sense (Arnie's part). Just so poor. I was looking forward to this when I saw the first image of Arnie as well. What would you give it?

I have black hair. Very straight, very thick. When it's long, I look like a Beatle. She loves you yeah yeah yeah! :D I look like a crazy man at the moment. Hair all boofy and going in different directions. :D I looked a bit like George Michael today with the facial hair! :D I had a shave. :)

Yes, Masquerade is still going. I'm watching it in Adelaide in a few months. It's also going to Melbourne.

The show I was watching with Kate in it had an awesome ending. What I was hoping the whole time came true! Kate was a psychopath! She did great! Awesome to see her act like that. Never had the chance before.

Does It Follows seem like a film that'll make the cinema down here in wide release? Or do you think I'll have to wait for dcd? Please note that The Raid 2 didn't get a wide release, for example.

Harakiri remake seems fine so far. But, I gotta say, the hara-kiri from the original had a bigger impact on me, despite this version being bloodier. It's either because I've seen it already, or because my mind imagines worse in the remake than what Miike showed the audience.

Crows Zero and Sukiyaki Western Django are also a decent Miike film. Worth checking out. Three....Extremes may work for you. It didn't for me.

Late here. I'll tell you tomorrow what I think Upstream Colour is about.

No, not violence. He has gross sexual imagery and ideas that i'm not comfortable with.

I watched Over My Dead Body. Has similar slow burn style of Audition, but the pay off isn't worth it. I was kinda bored by the ending. Expected more.

I liked that Miike knew he couldn't top the end fight in Harakiri. So, he went in a different direction. I won't spoil, as you may see it one day. However, at times, I rounds the sets to be too clean and nice. I get the temple being nice, but the shack should've had dirt and grime. I didn't get that. Detached me a bit from the movie. Plus the samurai was too clean as well. This is a who has nothing to live for anymore. In the original, I felt that. He looked empty. This guy, not so much. Overall, it's good, but nothing on the original. 3.5/5.

Sorry, I was supposed to get back about Upstream Colour. Sorry, but I still can't. Hard an unbelievably hard week at work, but I had a knee on knee injury that's giving me the shits. Soon. I will also get back to you about Micahel Malloy at some point as well. :)

I watched Non-Stop, Open Grave and Lili today. Needed to relax the brain a bit after this week I've had. None were that special. I liked Non-Stop the best.

The remake is worth a shot. Just don't go in expecting it to match the other, then you should be fine.

Maybe tomorrow I will say what I think about Upstream Colour.

I'm definitely watching Life Itself when it's available to me.

I'll watch Run of the Arrow and The Congress tomorrow.

Non-Stop is similar to Flight Plan, but I like this one better.

Bugger. Upstream Colour! Keep forgetting. It's 10:16 now, so it's too late. When I get back from work, I usually vacant my mind of everything, so I'll probably forget again. :)

I was always excited for it. I've been a big fan of the series since 3. I liked two at the time, but not so much now.

No, no. I will answer. First of all, do you get that there's three different groups of people gaining from hypnotizing people?

I liked how colourful the Pixels trailer was, especially the pac man scene. I did knave a big problem with the end joke with the creator. But, on repeat viewings, my hatred dropped a bit. This could be a turd, but I still have some hope for it.

I haven't actually seen the Twin Peaks film. I own it, but you know how that goes. :D It's on tv this month, so I may watch it then.

Picked up Kate's show and the six pack of Lone Wolf and Cub films.

Run All night is predictable, but Neeson and Harris make it worth watching. 3.5/5 from me.

St Paddy's day is huge here. Any reason for Aussies to drink, we'll take. Plus so many Irish here, that it's becoming part of our culture. I've said before that Irish are like the brother country of Australia. You'd think it would be England, but it's not. Maybe because we're convicts, and you guys have had your own issues with them. Rebel countries! :D

I had to look down in the cinema. I'm avoiding the third Avengers trailer. Don't want to see too much.

I watched this movies called Sex is Comedy. Love it. It was based off the troubles with a sex scene in her other film Fat Girl. Even has the same actress. So, I give that a watch, and I just don't know what to rate it! Troublesome, in many ways. With an ending that I didn't see coming.

***********Spoilere for Upstream Colour*********

The three groups are a team, but work separately. They all work together, as they all need each other. The thief uses the bug on people to steal money, the sampler then takes the bug, then implants it in a piglet. Somehow, the consciousness of the person partially transfers over with the bug.

The sampler can now enter into the people's lives via the pigs. You will see him wandering around, touching different pigs, then being in a different spot. He is spying on them, and even changing people's memories.

The sampler kills some piglets then throws them down the river. A liquid comes out of the piglets, which turns the orchids blue. The women then collect them for their business, then sell them. This is where the thief buys the orchids from to hypnotize people You see, it's a big circle. Each have their own agenda, yet each rely on each other. That's why after the sampler got shot, the women were worried because the orchids were still white. Also why the thief couldn't get supplied. It was an end to the cycle.

You will also see the two leads acting irrationally. Getting into fights, jumping in the bathtub etc. This is because they are feeling what the pigs do. Understand? The mother pig and dad pig get stressed because the piglets get taken away, so both of the people are feeling the same emotions. She actually talks about feeling like a
mother at one point. It's very strange, but it's a unique, interesting idea.

That's why they all want to look after the pigs so much at the end. Essentially, they all have a bond, and actually feel connected to these pigs.

*****************Spoilers for Upstream Colour*******

There's probably more stuff I haven't answered. Ask me if you need to. I may not have the answer, though. It's quite a tricky movie. :)

I'd recommend Sex is Comedy much more than Fat Girl. It was nary like watching behind the scenes footage of a movie with a sex scene. I was interested the whole time. Not in that way, either. :D

You asked me twice if I've seen In Hell, so I'll answer both! :D No. And no. :) I saw Cyborg. That's a terrible movie. It's a combination of two discarded movies. One being Spider-Man, and the other being Master of the Universe 2.

Another thing that's putting me off with the new iPad is setting it up. I have to ring up. One, I get nervous on phones. And two, I always get people with thick accents that I can't understand. So, I get frustrated and nervous. I'll have to do it soon, though.

What's that noise in Cyborg you hear in many cheap movies? I can't even desribe it. It's a sound effect, they used it about fifteen times!

Ah, I learnt something about Gavin! I hold onto these details! :D Yeah, i much prefer doing things in person as well.

I'm very excited for Twin Peaks. I hope it's not a dud. The critics will be out to say it's shit.

Were you an X-Files fan? I never got into it, because I never saw the start. What about the new season that's coming?


I'll be going where there's no power for the Easter holiday. I plan to see Killers, Lone Wolf and Cub and Why Don't You Play in Hell down there.

Oh, the noise is all through the movie! I remember it being in the the fight in the old carpark most clearly.

I may check out X-Files if I have easy access to it.

Why Don't You Play in Hell was a bit disappointing. I enjoyed e ending, but I found it a bit too long, and quite messy with the story. I didn't really care about any characters.

You should watch Housebound, I think you'll like it. It's very similar to another film you like, but I can't say, because it'll ruin the film for you. I gave it a 4.5/5.

Killers was a 4/5. Very good. Similar to I Saw the Devil and The Chaser. I think you should check it out.

Wyrmwood is a horror version of Mad Max. Aussie film as well. Hope to check it out soon.

*********Upstream Colour spoilers***********

Yeah. They couldn't explain why they were scared, but they were feeling the emotions of the pigs because the piglets were being taken away.

No problem at all.

I'm debating it now. I may watch Upstream Colour again soon to see what I think. Colour is definitely more original.

I enjoyed Wyrmwood, I gave it a 4/5. It got stronger and crazier as it went on. I was disappointed with the start and the story's ling. The method of telling the audience info could've been better. The way they choose to do it, made it lose tension. But, the end finished great. A unique zombie movie. I appreciate the hard work as well, as it took them four years to make it, the director is wanting to make an open world game. It would be fun, if done right. Also plans for a sequel.

I have! Society takes a long time to get into the story, but they leave little crumbs along the way. The ending it one of the craziest things I've seen. Disturbing, but it wasn't a dark story, ya know? It wasn't like A Serbian Film. I had a big laugh at one part. It really shocked me, plus it was intentional. I haven't rated it yet. 3/5 or 3.5/5 maybe? If you don't plan to see it, you should watch the last half hour. It gets weird! :D It's thereon YouTube. :)

Yes, you damn bastard! I want to scream a clue, but I won't. So, just watch Housebound!

$3000 a day is nothing to sneeze at. I just think of all the work I have to do to earn that. She makes some funny voices, then Bob's your uncle. :)

You're very welcome. If I have another weird thing to day about myself, I will share. :D Within reason. :)


Mike the chicken "lived" 18 months without a head. He was a sideshow attraction. It was because of a blood clot in it's neck. The guy would stick corn down the neck hole to feed it, then use an eye dropper to clear the airway. Unfortunately, he forgot the dropper one day, and Mike choked! So, it died again. Such a weird thing.


Wow. You got me intrigued for Daredevil! May have to watch it. I haven't seen any of the Arrow, S.H.I.E.L.D and Flash shows.

While we're talking about chickens, I have a question. Do you think if chickens flew, and pigeons didn't, we would eat pigeons? :D Or maybe magpie? It could be KFM....Kentucky Fried Magpie.......kinda catchy if you ask me. :) Just my weird thought of the day. Hope you enjoy.

I was on a tour of Fraser Island, it was great. Wanted to see dingo, but didn't see any. :/ Saw a wild dolphin flipping a fish up in the air today. So, at least there's that. :)

I unexpectedly went on a plane flight! I was on the bus, then a pilot came on and said we would fly over the island. I jumped at the chance, but was worried about my height. It was a tight squeeze, but I handled it. It was great seeing the island from above, and I can now say I have landed on thebeach in a plane. :)

If you can see It Follows in the cinemas, do so! What a movie! 5/5 all day from me. Avoid as much info as you can. I did, and the experience was amazing for this reason.

I am a bit worried about the films getting pushed out of the main cinemas because of 3d movies. At this tiny cinema, there was Ex Machina, Black Sea, and It Follows. The only place i have seen them avaiIable. I understand sort of why It Follows was there, but Black Sea and Ex Machina? They should be in the main cinemas!

It's ok Gavin, don't worry about it. :)

Johnny Depp in crime films is the best. Not a big Public Enemies fan (mainly for the way it was shot), but Blow and Donnie Brasco were both great.

Ah, damn! I didn't watch the show, so I missed what he said about the snails as well.

It was great out there! I just wasn't in a swimming mood. Funny thinking you are looking at places I stood. :D That lake has some of the finest sand in the world. When you touch it, it feels like talcum powder. It also has the some of the purest drinking water. Dingoes are protected there, and they are the most pure breed of the species left. About 78%. Other dingoes have bred with dogs, especially in Asian territories. I actually thought dingoes were native animals!

I really, really think Le Samourai will live up to the hype. I'm not worried. :)

Oh, of course you've seen It Follows! I remember! :) I lose info from my brain when I'm busy at work (which is all the time lately). I think we should spoiler talk It Follows, but not right now, I'm tired. I will type my thoughts on the weekend. :)

Plus Black Sea and Ex Machina are both right up on my most anticipated list. It was hard to see just one.

I know what it is, but it still hasn't come to fruition. I don't want to jump the gun yet. I will tell you it has come from hard work, and determination. Watch this space, and don't get too hyped about what it could be. This isn't like the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. :)

Did you think the score, and the whole film for that matter, gave gentle nod to the classic horror movies? I heard a bit of Psycho and Suspiria in the music, off the top of my head. Visually, and tonally, I also saw nods to Halloween and The Thing.

I like that there wasn't any jump cuts attempting to freak us out. They would mostly show it coming, then cut away, then show cut back. I also like that rotating camera comment in the uni as it was doing outside.

I'm not too sure how I feel about the pool moment. I think I'm on board, but I need to see it again.

I watched Dracula 2000 and Finding Neverland. Dracula 2000 is so bad, but I had fun listening to the podcast making fun of it. The nu metal soundtrack is so dated now. Finding Neverland is an obvious Oscar bait movie. I tried to watch it without thinking about what happened to them afterwards. Do you know?

I also saw Transcendence. For a blockbuster film, it's so bloody boring. The characters are so dumb as well. Depp doesn't look interested. 1/5 I gave it.

**********It Follows spoilers**************

I haven't seen A Nightmare on Elm Street in a long time, so that didn't come to mind straight away.

The tall guy scared me, but not in a jumping way. Internal fright. :) The kid looking in the hole as well. I was expecting it to be there, but I liked that the audience has no idea what's going to appear.

I wonder if he got the idea for the film after getting an STD? :D

I thought about their reasoning as well. But I wondered if I could make better choices if something was after me.

I liked that the friends supported her the whole time, that was refreshing. The director seems to understand that it really pisses people of when people don't believe for 3/4 of a movie. It probably makes more sense that they don't believe, but is that an entertaining watch? The answer is no.

Do you think they will butcher this by making sequels?

It's not really worth watching Dracula 2000. I had fun with the podcast, but there's not enough there to enjoy. Johnny Mnemonic was this bad, but so much fun compared to this crap. Ok, Dracula gets affected by crucifixes, ok. But, a lowly new vamp didn't, because he's an atheist! So bloody stupid! It was supposed to be funny, but it was godawful.

Well, J.M Barrie committed suicide, one of the boys drowned in the lake (suspected suicide), and Peter committed suicide in the 60's. After reading about him, he reminded me much of Michael Jackson. Living his childhood again through the young boys. Whether he was molesting is debatable, but it's very suspicious.

Nah, I don't think you'd enjoy Transcendence. Some top critics in Australia loved it! I don't understand.

Tragedy. A kid was killed by a rally car in my area after it took the corner too sharply. He was only 8.

***********It Follows spoilers***************

Yeah, that's how I always react. Internally, alarm bells go off. On the outside, nobody would know. :) I also can appreciate good jumps scares. They don't get me, but I give high praise to them. However, shitty predictable jump scares get judged very harshly by me.

It's quite possible. The monster is an obvious allegory for stds. But I think it is form many things. Life, death, yada yada. :)

I'm not sure how I feel about a sequel. I liked the ending, so I don't want a continuation, and I don't want a prequel, because they will probably decide to explain the origins of the thing. I don't really want to know. Makes the thing more interesting. It's kinda half monster, half ghost.

******************It Follows spoilers**************

Dredd, Kick-Ass, Super, Shoot 'Em Up (for me anyway :D) and The Raid 2 come to mind of films that are awesome, yet didn't make any money. It's something about over-the-top films that doesn't draw in a crowd for some reason.

Do you have a imdb watchlist? I go on there for random movies I forget about sometimes.

Nah, I didn't know the kid, but it's still shocking. The whole state is in shock over it.

Actually, I don't think I have jumped at a jump scare! Unless I'm forgetting one. It was close in Mama. But again, I appreciated some of them more than was actually jumping. I think I get caught when there's a random moments in other genres that catches me out.

No, I haven't, Gavin. What Canne films stood out to you? Now, that sounds like the right type of genre film I like of Miike's! Unless he has some weird sex stuff in there!

Damn! You answered early! I wasn't ready! :)

I just like the imdb watchlist, because if I forget a movie, the look it up again, I see it's already in my watchlist. I kinda forget to look at the Letterboxd one. But that's just me.

I need to see Cabin in the Woods again. I can't remember the title scare.

Wow, I'm interested in all those movies! :D Thanks for that, I will be adding them all to my watchlist. I'm a bit worried about The Lobster because of Dogtooth, but I'm willing to take the chance.

Oh, and I haven't seen The Great Beauty yet.

Lone Survivor
Warm Bodies

Well, I watched the One I Love. Very creative film, that reminds me of Coherance. A strong 4/5 from me. I think you might like it. My only real problem was the very end was telegraphed to easy. But the rest of the film, is unique. I kinda want to see Warm Bodies and Lone Survivor before they disappear from Foxtel, and I have to wait years to see them. :)

I also saw talk of Tale of Tales for Canne. That sounds interesting to me as well.

Yeah, it's kinda exciting how many people like Fury Road, eh? It's nearly a guaranteed fun movie. I'm thinking at least a top 50 position on my list. :)

I guess I will have to buy A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night and Force Majure because they aren't showing up to rent for some reason.

I'm glad I'm more aware about movies now. Even a few years ago, I would never have been aware of movies such as The One I Love, The Cngress, Coherence, and so forth. I may have seen the title, then not paid attention.

Can you please rank Fury Road so I can see where it lands on your list? :)

Band of Outsiders is a fantastic movie. I see it's Tarantino's influence for parts of Pulp Fiction, for sure! 5/5 from me.

I got access to Letterboxd for a minute. I see you're not a fan on the first F& F film. Was that always the case?

You're close. I have had movies disappoint me greatly, but I've learned to keep the hype down. John Wick is the last movie I let myself get too hyped for. Age of Ultron was close as well. I think because I've avoided trailers for Fury Road, I may be ok. I haven't re-watched the trailer over and over like I did for the Ultron teaser, either.

Any movies on my list surprise you that I like? Not even in terms of quality, but that you wouldn't think I would like. Be open, you won't offend me. :)

Ah, Scarface. :D The thing is, it's a crime film.......starring Al Pacino!! :D I love crime films, Pacino is my second favourite actor, and it's violent! :D Fair enough if you didn't like it, but the stars aligned for me with this one. It's not a guarantee that the above will make a film work for me every time (Righteous Kill....but that's just shit) but it's bloody close! :D

Nah, I'm not a Star Trek fan at all! :D It's just these two films I dig so far. I'm kinda not surprised you didn't like Star Trek, to be honest. Abrams turned Trek into Star Wars, which you're also not the biggest fan of. I just got an exciting feeling watching it. It felt like a space Indiana Jones movie to me. Obviously not as good, but fun escapism that made me feel good inside. It was a gut warmer, Gavin. Like a bowl of soup on a cold day.

Deep down, I have a feeling I know where Fury Road will end up. But, I don't even want to type it, I want that expectation kept down there low....in my soupy belly.

********Avengers: Age of Ultron spoilers********

The fucking magic pool! What the fuck was that?

The dreams flashbacks didn't work for me.

The Vision powers weren't explained well enough. I guess they just expect us to know this stuff?

I didn't get any exciting feeling looking at the new Avengers team. How is Falcon good enough? I mean, I think with training, I could use his wings! I could be a bloody Avenger!! :D

Did you buy the Banner/Widow relationship?

Did the humour work for you?

I was pissed off that they didn't use the score from the teaser trailer. Ok, if they replaced it with something more memorable, I wouldn't care. But I don't remember ANY music from Ultron. But I remember that piece from the teaser.

I think the story was nowhere near as dark as they sold it to be in the teaser trailer. I also didn't like that we got a different Ultron to what we saw in the teaser. He was truly menacing in the teaser....more so than in the film! I get that they made him like Tony, and it makes sense. But it didn't draw me into the story.

My favourite line 'there's no strings on me' isn't even featured in the film as it was in the trailer. That shits me.

Did you feel like Ultron was a pushover? I never felt lime any of them were in danger in battle against him. They told us,through a throwaway line, that Cap wasn't a match for him, but that didn't seem the case to me! I personally think Scarlet Witch was a bigger threat to the Avengers than Ultron was!

Oh, Goodfellas is a close one with Scarface. I just love myself an iconic over-the-top action scene as well. I would actually agree Goodfellas is the better movie, but the enjoyment factor is sky high with Scarface. I wasn't trying to imply you didn't like Scrface. :)

Ah! I didn't know you liked Star Trek. Is it about a 4/5 film for you?

Okay, no worries. I will let you know.

*******Spoilers for Age of Ultron**********

But the magic pool scene is still better than the alternative. The studio was fine with Thor coming back and saying he figured it out. Whedon had to fight for the Hawkeye family scenes (which were corny and cliche to me) as well.

Yeah, you have a point. Wasn't they saying they couldn't win without The Vision? I call bullshit. He did nothing that I can remember that nobody else could handle.

Maybe strings theme? I mean from the teaser. Maybe watch again so you can see what I mean? It goes baoh chi chi chi booom chi chi chi baoh chi chi chi. :D Oh, and the line is in the film, but not said in the same context that it is in the teaser. If you see the teaser again, you can clearly see the differences tonally. The scene where he said it in the teaser, isn't in the bloody movie! Annoying.

Heard there may be a three hour cut?

Bad language jokes were not funny at all. Nor hide the zucchini, War Machine humour, or Ultron being thrown out. I thought I would like some of that a second time, but I didn't. I admit, some of the humour worked better on re-watch, but not much.

What would you score it?

I think Civil War will answer some of your problems with Tony not answering for what he did. I felt like Whedon should've addressed it more in his film. Even leave the two in bad terms before the end of the film. Maybe because he had so much on his plate, he didn't want to tie it in with Cap 3?

Oh, and I hope Russo Bros make Cap 3 work, or the next Avengers movies may be in trouble.

I have Dazed and Confused in the 90% area, so I getcha. :) ah, so it brings back memories for you? I can understand this.

If it's a perfect western for you, then I think it's in the perfect position! :) Have you seen the original? Or Rooster Cogburn?

I never quite got that music in films was such an influence on what you score a film until now. Sure, I sorta understood, but I think I got it now. Oh, and i love that Tiny Dancer moment. In fact, this movie kinda got me to like Elton John. :D Might not be the hip thing to say, but he has some bloody great songs. Some are a bit too daggy for me, but many are great. Took me quite a few years to admit that to myself. Almost Famous made me face facts. :)

Oh, and back to Marvel. second time they've burned me with the music. Ooga Chaka music in trailer had me PUMPED!!! Couldn't they just put that over a part of the last action scene? I don't remember at all what the score is instead. They won't get me again. I will never expect the music or score from a Marvel trailer in the movie again.

I love Into the Darkness. I need to see it again, to see if i like it just as much, even when the hype has died down. Cumberbatch was great, but I know some people didn't like him. He brought intensity to the role that I expected with Ultron. He has some bad ass action scenes.

***********Age of Ultron spoilers**************

I actually liked Spader as Ultron. I just think they let him down with the character being like a spoilt child

I don't want to think about the pool scene any more. :D I tried to type an answer to your questions, but thinking of the magic pool pissed my brain off. :) Your questions will have to be rhetorical. :D

Ahhhh. In my head, the singing part of that song in the teaser was a separate part. But now, I see they're probably the same song. I would've been fine without the singing, I just think the other part (when hulk buster shows up), would've been cool in the movie.

I score Ultron 4.5/5! Yet all I do is bag on it. I think I need to drop the score to a 4/5. The negatives outweigh the positives.

I also didn't like that there wasn't any hidden surprises, ya know? No Spider-Man Captain Marvel, Ant Man, Black Panther, or just something that shocked the audience. Even the mid credit scene wasn't worth checking out. I prefer that fake Spider-Man credit scene to the real one!

Which Quiksilver do you like better?

Yeah, they don't want to upset the kids, for sure. I think that's the target audience with this film.

I don't really have a favourite. it changes all the time. Maybe Iron Man? But mainly for his own films. Especially Iron Man 3, which I love that it's this fucking weird story that angered comic book fanboys. :D Do you have a top 5?

************Spoilers for Age of Ultron***********

I have seen original True Grit. I like remake better, but it was pretty similar. 4/5 for original, nearly 5/5 for the remake.

Haha! I'm glad Tiny Dancer got to admit to yourself. I bet there's plenty people who like him, but don't admit it at all. I will admit I just started playing Indian Sunset as I type this. :D Bloody long song. :D Burn Down the Mission and Yellow Brick Road will be next. :D

The Hooked on a Feeling song was there in GotG, but where was the ooga chaka action scene? It actually really upset me. If that was in there, I think it would've made my top 5. :D

You probably won't like Into Darkness as much as me. But it's worth a shot.

I think because I expected higher, I was pissed off with the annoying things. There's that word! Expectation got to me. But I think I would still thought the same, even without the hype.

The credits scene was bland.

Definitely the Quiksilver from X-Men. Not even close. I even remember laughing at how he looked before the release in comparison to Marvel's Quiksilver. But I think his costume makes sense now, with those big goggles. Makes me hold a slight glimmer og hope for this new Joker, but that damaged tattoo is hard to get by.

Iron Man 3 doesn't even feel like a Marvel movie at times. It's weird. Shane Black can be thanked a lot for that.

Them not using the song will upset me forever!

Watching Wayward Pines.

No, not really. I can watch it, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. I'm not into cars much.

Do you think there's a downside to the Marvel shared universe? I'm just thinking, that Whedon probably got told what he could write into the movie. So, if he had a good idea, he wouldn't be able to do it any way. Like Agent Coulson. He was pissed they brought him back.

I must've been close to the bone as well. Disgusting. It was about seven stitches to fix it. Water on concrete is very dangerous I found out. :)

I haven't watched Agents of Shield, so, he's still dead to me. Whedon wanted him dead, so I'll keep him dead in my mind. Kinda like how I watch the new Terminator movies, but don't accept that the franchise went past two movies. :) That was the ending!! Look what happens when you mess with a great ending!

Sicko was great. I'm glad I don't live in America, seriously. Paying to put fingers back on is messed up. Have you seen it?

Clean, Shaven was also great. Hear of it? Peter Greene from Pulp Fiction is in it as a violent man suffering schizophrenia trying to find his daughter. Man, it had an effect on me. For a small budget, they did a great job. Whole movie is on YouTube if you want to check it out. Oh, and it was actually this movie that got him cast in Pulp Fiction. Tarantino liked him I in the movie. I wish Greene was in more movies, I always like him. He and Michael Rapaport should do a movie together, that would make me happy. :)

Heard of The Secret of the Grain?

Also saw Hummingbird. That's a 3/5 film for me. Nothing special. Some not very interesting story moments, and lackluster energy. Felt very flat. Just saw it before it disappears off Foxtel like i noticed Parker and Snitch have.

I will need you to explain your second comment more. I don't really know what you're talking about. :)

Yes, Sicko is a Moore film. Another doc that makes me glad I'm not American. Do you get Medicare in Ireland? We do here. Their system is terrifying.

Clean, Shaven is very short as well. One scene, had me wanting to look away. My mouth was open from discomfort. :D Solid 4/5 film for me.

Yes you did, but I watched Hummingbird anyway. :D I was in an action mood, so I thought I'd give it a go before it disappeared. Homefront was much more enjoyable that Hummingbird.

Well, The Secret of the Grain is about a shipyard worker being fired after 35 years, reinventing himself as a restaurant owner after he buys an old boat to use for his fish couscous restaurant. Not the most amazing plot, I know, but it was very realistic film. I felt like I was watching a real family for the majority of the time. Tiny moments during the film seem insignificant at the time, but eventually culminate into making a stronger story. What let it down for me was the very end, which lost some believability for me. Strong 4/5.


That's why I didn't understand, I didn't get the context of where the headphones were. Despite you saying Banner, I didn't get it. May have been a combination of both of us being tired. :D Anyway, I don't know those headphones, so it didn't stick out to me. I understand why they would have for you. I can nearly feel how you feel about those bastard headphones being in the Avengers. :)

I told Cian, and I'll tell you. When I was in swimming lessons when I was 15, our class was made to do ring a ring a Rosie! I was about six foot five at that point, so can you picture that? How embarrassing! Oh, once there was a sea lion, so we had to evacuate. It was on the beach, and I was so bloody close! I think, I was about 3 metres away from it. :D Any close encounters with animals?

I was walking away from my seat, knowing it was going to get wet from the rain. I didn't bother going back. I then thought: future me is going to be so pissed off with me! :D Sure enough, sat down to eat at lunch in my nice cushioned chair, and it was saturated! Future me, became me! I thus got rightly pissed at past me for this unforgivable laziness. Now, we are both the same person, obviously, but did past me discretions may have helped future me become wiser, and overall a better person. :D

An old couple in the doc wouldn't leave Canada for three hours without insurance, because they didn't want to get stuck in America's system. And a majority want it that way! They've been tricked by the rich, ruthless pricks over there.

Oh, you will be able to tell which scene it is, for sure!

Headphones are popular, I even own a pair. I just wasn't paying attention to them in the film, that's all. Plus I'm in a small town, so exposure to Dre headphones is limited.

Oh, all the time. Reaching stuff and sport my height came to mbe the most handy.

Down at the small town for a walk with sis when I was younger. A dog came charging down the hill, and was snarling at us. It was crouched like it was going to attack. I had my sister behind me. I thought I was going to fight it to the death, that's what was running through my head. Luckily, the owner ran down. That dog was ready to go.

Fury Road exceeded my expectations! In my top ten. Number 2 of all time.

Do you consider it an Aussie movie? It has American backing, but a majority Aussie cast. What you think?

At the airport. The team that will be playing over in Adelaide are here. I look short compared to some. Ne is six foot eight, the other is seven foot! Rare that I'm not the tallest anywhere I go. :D. It kinda makes me look at them, because I'm not used to it.

Yeah, I just think it's should be seen as shameful for them to put a game out notnready. But people are used to it. Plus they get more pre-ordering, so that won't stop.

I was at airport eating Red Rooster. The chicken, was full of water! :O Grossed me out, and the chicken was touh. Anyway, not the reason I say this. I wasn't thinking, and the water leaked through the box onto my fucking shorts! It looked likemi pissed myself!! Luckily, I had my iPad to cover it. I tell ya, iPad comes in handy for multiple reasons. I have used it as a back rest on plane (only thing that made it better), and now to hide a stain. Luckily, I had an hour to sit and conceal it. Most of it had dried by the time I had to stand up. :)

Do you like pickles?

Hey, no problem, Gav. :) I didn't even know! Debbie on Letterboxd gave me the link. :)

I didn't think number 2 either! I thought, that it may end up at number 7, but it just ticked every single box. I fucking loved every second. At a certain point, I jumped from 7, all the way up to 3, then, jumped one more after another batshit action moment. Action movies need to fucking step up!! Miller is the king again! The old bad ass grandma! I love her! :D What a fucking awesome character.

I've been thinking....and I'm claiming it as Australian! :D The creative team, and most of the actors are Aussie. I also didn't mind Hardy's attempt at an Aussie accent. It seemed to drift as the film went, but it wasn't offensive to me, like Django Unchained QT and Pacific Rim attempts.

People said Hardy was weakest part of the film. I don't think so. He delivered, in my opinion. I'm tryingnto find a fault, I can't! :D

I loved that Quentin, that guy in wheelchair was in the movie. He is a great guy, who has been interviewed every year since he was a child for 60 Minutes.

Oh, I also bought Don't Torture a Duckling for $7.

Forest Whitaker seems to be playing the same cop he acted as in The Last Stand. Also thinks he's a good cop, but makes stupid comments.

Ex Machina was a strong 4/5. I was glad it didn't go in the obvious territory that it could have. But still, the ending was a bit of a fizzle. Might work more on a rewatch.

Just watched Masquerade. Loved it, just loved it! I did think second half was better, though. First half was more the book, but the second half was more Kate's own writing, I could tell. The humour was more funny to me, and reminiscent of memorable moments in other plays of hers. The music was also a highlight. Michelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen were fantastic, as were the rest of the cast at singing.

The funny thing thing was, the lady next to me was talking to husband in that voice. You know when people talk loud enough, that you know they want you to hear them? Well, there she was, all wine and scarf of her, talking in that voice, informing her husband (and thinking impressing me) all about the book writer, and about Kate Mulvany. When the play was over, I was talking amongst us. I mentioned what I just said about Kate up there to you to the others, and I could see her turn her head in surprise. :D Aaah, satisfaction. Bloody taught that know-it-all. :D

As long as they are working hard on the game, I don't mind delays.

C'mon Gav, I know you actually pissed yourself. Don't deny it. ;) Oh, I was all hot! I know the guy was looking at me as I tried to be conspicuous. :) When he left. I deseperaley started rubbing the water, trying to get it less damp. A real Mr Bean moment, as it could've looked dodgy if somebody noticed me. :D

I asked if you like pickles because I'm a weirdo who likes asking odd questions. :D

That was Megan Gale who got hit by the car. She was going to be Wonder Women in George Miller's Justice League movie.

Disappointed they dies as well. But both has such bad ass endings, that it didn't bother me. When the granny got hit in the head, that affected me. I was thinking her of this bad ass, but that hit to the head, made me remember this was an old woman, I really felt sad for her. Such a fucking great movie to. A action moivr! Makes me feel like that!!

Yes, the colour really adds to the film. So vibrant and unique. No movie is like this at the moment! Black and white would be interesting, but I doubt I would watch it more than once.

Oh, have you heard of The Friends of Eddie Coyle? A 70's crime film I hadn't been able to find. Now, it's on YouTube. :) I think it just being a 70's crime film gives it at least a score of 4/5. :.d

Just found out Kate co-wrote the songs as well! So proud of her. A sad fact is, the person that bought the book for her in real life, committed suicide.

Nah, Kate stayed in Sydney. Was over for premiere, then went home. Play is in the last days in Adelaide. Off to Melbourne next.

It was very satisfying! :D I took great pleasure in shutting her up. :)

I actually talked to Kate on the phone, and she said she wrote ALL the songs. Some songs in Adelaide, weren't featured in the Sydney show. The show she added was a showstopper. The crowd was applauding before the girl finished. What a voice.

I actually got the name wrong. It's not the Skeleton Dance, but rather the Rainbow Dance. I actually think Len Lye is very clever to make it in 1936. It's less than four minutes long, you should have a look. Just watch a bit if you're going to be a lazy fucker. :D

*********Spoilers for Game of Thrones S5 E8 Spoilers**

The look of surprise, and the death of the white walker, was one of my favourite parts of Game of Thrones.

Do you think the giant could've taken the White Walker?

I'm would care less about Stannis dying, than I would Jon dying. That would get me annoyed. I'm worried about next ep! I wouldn't be surprised if Ramsay kills Stannis, but I also can see Reak killing Ramsay.

I thought the ep surprised me. I started forgetting, like I always do, that huge battles actually happen in this show. There has been a lot of talk lately, so it was good timing for that fight.

**********Spoilers for Game of Thrones S5 E8 Spoilers***

47 Ronin looked terrible. All the special effects were so bad! Plus, I couldn't understand why the emperor killed characters, when they were under the influence of a fucking witch! They might not have even told him! Which is even more fucking stupid! Oh, and too much talk of prophecies, half breeds, and all that shit.

I own the other 47 Ronin, so yes. But you know what I'm like. :)

Now, I need a question answered. The babies the Walk Wlaker took. Were they turned into zombies? Or Walkers? If a zombie, then what is the point? Do the zombies age?

Nope, it's not even worth watching for that. Nothing really redeeming at all.

It is! :D But the ball is like a smaller version of a volleyball. They throw themselves on the table, even the ground to keep the ball in play. Also, they take it very seriously. :)

Hahah!!! It was comical to me to read you liked Stannis as I watched him burn his kid. I don't care who wins the battle now. :D As long as it's entertaining, I'm all good. I don't think Stannis will kill Ramsay. I think something else will happen there.

The green screen part didn't bother me too much. I just thought that for the budget constraints, it was passable. I have actually forgotten who the people in the masks are. I also wondered why more masked men didn't attack when Drogon and Dany left.

Did the dragon seem it could be easily beaten to you? I just wonder about that.

Yes, that makes sense. They must be White Walkers. Was the one Jon Snow killed the very first Walker we saw a few seasons ago?

I noti Ed that some music from the Fury Road trailers weren't in the movie. Now, this doesn't bother me, because they actually delivered in the film! The score is amazing! Age of Ulton, is comparison, should hang it's head in shame. I'm thinking of dropping my score to 4/5.

I don't know any of the names of the songs from Fury Road, so I assume you would know better than me. Watching one of the trailers, I noticed one tiny piece of score missing, unless I didn't hear it. I also noticed they dubbed over the old Aussie lady that Immortan Joe yells at. She sounds bloody American! I don't get why they did that.

Nope, no Witcher 3 yet. I have to get on that!

Some moments in JW could be pulled apart, but I chose not to. I was just enjoying the ride. There is some batshit moments in this movie that I just accepted, and I think you should too. I was laughing gleefully at the end. I hope you like it.

Somebody threw an egg at my sister from a moving car a few hours ago. It hit her in the shin, but somehow didn't leave a mess. They drove off fast.

What was your star rating for JW? Did you find a few of the characters annoying?

Not where I live, but this was in the city when the egg was thrown. I assume it happens all the time.

Movie of Kate's play is heating up a bit. Jack Weaver said she wanted tol play my aunty Glenys, which is really cool. Need a good actor for uncle Danny. I'm sure Kate would find one.

I am ashamed to say I don't know the titles of tracks by name. :) I will one day, though!

Yeah, Dragon Age is great. Not as good as Skyrim, but well worth a play. I'm excited for the next Fallout game, that looks fun.

The older kid annoyed me a bit. Sure, he can look at his phone, but I found it very heavy handed. Anything else about his character we should know screenwriter, hmm? I also didn't really like Bryce Dallas Howard's character, or the fact she wore high heels for the whole film. If I had to choose footwear to run from a T-Rex.....high heels wouldn't be first. :) Fuck it, I'm going bare foot in that situation. Twigs be damned! :D

I watched it. Very gross at times. I enjoyed some parts, but some were godawful. I hear the sequel is much better. And yes, some indie directors were involved. I would say some of their parts were mixed. Ti West short was the worst of all of them imo. Dogfight was shot great, but I'm still not checkingnout A Serbian Film!!! :)

I watched Ida. I gave it a 4.5/5. Shot nice, isn't it? You're the visual guy, so this movie suits you. I woke up at 1am, and decided to watch it. Recommended late night movie. The black and white pop in the wee hours. :)

I feel like I'm being saying I will be seeing Lone Survivor for months! :D

I have seen Diabolique. I will stick with the easier to type English way, you can have the French If you want! :D I really enjoyed it! 4.5/5, If I remember correctly. Neat little mystery,

Well, she wrote a play about her dad in Vietnam getting agent orange, and the affects on her. Hollywood wanted the script, but they were going to make it about Iraq, which doesn't work for Kate. Jackie Weaver will be at her wedding, so I assume that she has favour with the Oscar nominated actress. Glenys role must have been beefed up in the script, because she isn't featured in the play.

I guess it's loosely based on Kate, as she was called Rosie in the play. The rest of the names are the same. Even the poodle I remember as a kid. :)

Oh, by the way. If you ever see the Donald Rumsfeld doc made from Erroll Morris, keep an eye out for when he talks about agent orange. Then, just imagine my anger at what his response is.

I can tell you that ABCs of Death 2 is so much better than the first. Sure, some are downright ridiculous, but the highlights are quite good, if you can handle the gore. There is some bloody things in these shorts I've never seen before! Z finished with me shocked. I give the overall film a 3.5/5. There's at least 10 short stories in the sequel better than any in the first.

It was something about Howard wanting her character to retain her femininity. But, I don't think it's old style thinking. Women can be very feminine....and have bloody proper footwear on!! Think of Laura Dern in the first film. She isn't a tomboy.

His letter is M for Miscarriage, if that helps you guess why it's terrible. It felt very lazy to me.

Ha, I didn't watch Lone Survivor! :D I watched I Love You Phillip Morris, Sita Sings the Blues Apocalypse Now, Chappie and Judgment Night instead. :)

P.S. Chappie is shit! :D Imagine Jar Jar got his own movie. Some moments are funny, but it fails big time, especially the ending.

Apocalypse Now moved up about 500 spots on my Flickchart. I don't know if it's because I watched the original cut, or because I'm older now, but the film just worked so much better for me. I even understand what Coppola was saying about certain characters and the war more now. I also didn't feel like it dragged at all. I remember checking how long left many times. 4/5 to 5/5.

Is it chef's head thrown in his lap? I wasn't sure about that.

The sequel. I would nearly say don't bother with the original, unless you're curious. I could sit through the sequel again for some of those shorts. At least I know now which parts to fast forward through. If it wasn't for the truly weak parts, this movie would be closer to 4.5/5 for me.

Listening to Obama on the WTF podcast. I can't believe he got him as a guest. Have you heard it before?

I think Lone Survivor is this weekend. Gotta see it before it disappears. I think Only Lovers Left Alive and Now You See Me are others I might check out before they go.

I gave Chappie 2.5/5, so I guess i am as well. :) He set it up for a sequel that we will never get. That annoys me when that happens, especially The Losers.

Was Chef the moustache fella on the boat in Apocalypse Now? He just disappears at the end, and I wondered it was his severed head thrown in Sheen's lap.

Yeah, it's Marc Maron. He's a stand up comedian who has a tv show like Louie. He usually interviews comedians, but has now branched out to musicians and actors as well. Probably the biggest podcast in the world.

Well, the second section of films are films I pay for, so Lost River might be a no go, instead of watched first. :)

Two movies I saw that I love. Have you heard of Departures and In Order of Disappearance? I gave Departures 5/5, and the latter 4.5/5.

Departures is witty, had me thinking, and nearly had me crying. Actress Ryoku Hirosue has the cutesy smile, and her character is infectiously bubbly. But, her character becomes more than just a smile. There is development there, that I appreciated.

In Order of Disappearance is like a better versions of Taken, meets a lesser version of In Bruges. :) I loved the black comedy, the violence, and Skarsgard as a bad ass.

Yeah, if you like dark comedy crime films, then it might just be for you. Great little flick, that really worked for me. A bit towards the end was a bit disappointing, but the finale had me laughing and thinking WTF!! It was 5/5 for a while, so it's a strong 4.5/5. I think not many people would give it that rating, just so you know. But for me, it's a ton of fun.

I know. Because it's a whole thing. A simple fucking thing, but never less. Have to find the movie, have to put the disc in, then you have to play the movie. Fuck that! I just watch something that's quick! :D

A Deadly Adoption is a Lifetime movie starring Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig. Did I stutter? No! They starred in a bloody Lifetime movie! You know, those cheap movies for tv? They play it completely straight, but apparently have subtle moments of humour. It's already on tv. I have it recorded. I have actually already seen a bit of it.

Well, if you watched it without knowing Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig, you could watch it not knowing it was a parody. It's played very straight. I think A Deadly Adoption is very much like Casa Di Mi Padre, which poked fun at cheap Mexican films.

Oh yes, he's terrible. I watched Bloodrayne and In the Name of the King, both are some of the worst films I've seen. How he got Statham and Kingsley in these film is beyond me.

Ever heard of Shanghaiing? Or Shanghai Kelly?

I still am keen to see The Revenent (may be 2016), Star Wars, Spectre, Sicario, Black Mass, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, Ant Man, Mission Impossible, Southpaw, Regression, The Sea of Trees (despite being booed at Cannes). There is more, but they are the main films, for now.

Ok, Shaghaiing was the act of knocking out a sailor, then selling him to a captain that needed sailors. When a ship would be coming in to dock, the pubs would send out runners to convince sailors to leave their ship, to have women and beer. The runners would get paid per sailor, so they would be trying very hard.

You ask why the captains let's this happen? Well, they were in on it! You see, the boat is at sea for four years at times, and the captain only pays when the ship is docked in the bay. So, if a sailor abandons the ship, the captain doesn't have to pay any money!

That's not all. Once they were at the pub, they were offered booze that was drugged to knock them out. They would then strip them of clothes, and sell them to a ship. The sailor would wake up naked, not knowing where he was, and forced to pay off his clothes. :D

You ask why the police aren't involved. Well, any time police were asked to investigate, they would just vanish. I guess they were either murdered, or shanghaied themselves! :D

The pub owners also sometimes just knocked the sailors out with weapons, hence why one was nicknamed horseshoe. Of all the choices of weapons, he would use a horseshoe to bash men over the head with. :D Another, the Amazonian women, as she could make a guy pass out with her bare hands!

Shanghai Kelly was the worst. If you wanted sailors fast, he was your man. Because some sailors had started to catch on not to drink at the pubs (not fucking enough of the dumb idiots!!), he had invented a cigar that knocks the sailors out. He also invented a trap door system! When the sailor was unconscious, he would open a trap door, and the sailor would slide down into a ready boat, taking him to the ship! However, sometimes the sailors were killed from the fall from the trap door. This was also fine, as the captains back then could sell the dead bodies! :D I can't remember why.

One day, Shanghai Kelly got a big order of sailors that needed to be done fast. As he wanted to keep his reputation as a the guy who gets the job done fast, he set to work.

It was Kelly's birthday! He invited all the pimps, criminals and sailors he knew on board and took them out to sea for a big party! Unbeknownst to them, all of the 100 guest would soon be unconscious. :D He delivered all of them as promised, then started heading back to shore. But what to do? People saw him leave with people, he can't come back empty. Aha! Luck was upon him. A ship was stranded, and the good Samaritan Kelly swung not action to get everybody onboard. :D Nobody suspected a thing when he reached shore with a boatful of passengers. :D

How ling do you think this practice went on for? 5 years? Ten? Try fifty fuckin' years! Fifty years sailors were bashed over the head or drugged to make them sailors! :O Know who turned a blind eye? The government! They knew, but let it happen because everything would come to a halt without sailors on the ships.

I only just found this out, and I'm still amazed! There is more details I'm missing I'm sure. I will add them if I remember. :)

************Spoilers for Crumb*************

Now to Crumb. It was really a doc about much more than just Robert Crumb. The exploration of hidden fantasies through drawing, and the affect of parents on children was interesting. I also found Charles to be more interesting than Robert. This is a guy that's aware he's a threat to the outside world, a potential pedophile. Yet, he locks himself because of his fear of what he might do. I don't condone his thoughts, but I respect a guy who would rather put himself through hell than cause harm to another person. He was also the most charming of the three brothers. I actually found him quite witty, and brutally honest about himself.I just wonder if it would have been all different for him if he had a relationship as a teen? His thoughts about the Treasure Island kid may have evolved over time. I'm just saying this could've been a possibility, and still don't condone his thoughts Yet, even if he did, he would've been ridiculed for being gay, as i think it was the 50's, a less tolerable time.

I was less sympathetic towards Maxon. A guy who has molested women, a guy who didn't seemed to worried about what he did.

Robert is the confident brother. Some of those drawings were a bit much. The incest part, wow, freaked me out. Now, if he was commentating on the 50's, ok, it was effective. But I think it's more than that. Which is why I felt uneasy when he had his daughter by the legs, pulling her up towards him. This guy gets a kick out of piggy back rides, so I was worried what was running through his head. I just hope, there was/is nothing sinister in his brain with that relationship.

Do I even make sense? I hope I do. Some may take my comments the wrong way, but I think you know me well enough to get the point i'm trying to make, especially about Charles. If more you want more clarification, just ask.

Oh, and I'm aware this is a very long message. I don't expect a comment this long by you. All this just happened to be in my brain, so you copped a brain spew. :D

Shanghai Kelly had a brother as well. I will tell you more at another date. Google image Shanghai Kelly. That is a friendly face. :)

********Spoilers for Crumb************

I'm glad you get what I mean. On a dark subject like this, people sometimes jump fast to get angry. Oh, can you remember the pages and pages of writing Charles did? That was a mind unravelling on paper.

Maxon. Can you remember him laying on the nail bed? He looked like somebody you might see in the Hills Have Eyes remake. Creepy guy.

I think Robert is easier to handle for people around him because he's a big talker and laughs off criticism. I wondered during the film whether he ever had a serious discussion with Charles of Maxon about their problems. He just seemed to laugh off any talk Charles had of his mental illness. Was there a conversation in the past? I'm not sure. I just wondered if Charles got any support at all after his suicide attempts. I wonder if Robert is even capable of it? Or would he then have to face his own problems? His laughter could very well be a defense mechanism.

For nutritional reasons, we're often advised to consume the skins of fruits. However, it's less often that research provides strong evidence in support of this advice. Recent studies have shown that the skin of pears contains at least three to four times as many phenolic phytonutrients as the flesh. These phytonutrients include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory flavonoids, and potentially anti-cancer phytonutrients like cinnamic acids. The skin of the pear has also been show to contain about half of the pear's total dietary fiber.

I am in complete shock right now. The Adelaid Crows coach (and former West Coast Eagles assistant coach, that's my team) Phil Walsh has been stabbed to death by his son. He also put his mum in the hospital. Walsh seemed like a great guy, so I can't believe this.

Wow, my ps4 is connected to the internet finally. What can you tell me? I'm a dummy on this, so tell me some basics please. :)

Yeah, I get that about Robert Crumb. I think it was the frustrated side of me being just annoyed that Charles is saying these sad things, and he is just sitting there laughing. I would like to know if had tried at all to help. Maybe he didn't even care enough to care.

Didn't you learn anything? Pear skin to your diet! Not pears! :D Just peel the skin off.

I learnt more details of the stabbing. Phil Walsh was asleep in his bed. Cy Walsh came home, and went in and hugged his mum. At the same time as he was hugging, he pulled out a knife, then repeatedly stabbed him in the back. Completely insane.

True Detective is hard to follow in a bad way. The dialogue is too fast, and some is just absurd. It just feels like they are trying to hard to top the first season. Everything, and everyone, has to be disturbed or weird.

I'm patching NBA 2k15 at the moment, just to see the difference. An experiment.

Ooh, free content. I will keep an eye out. Wasn't there already a patch for Witcher 3?

I like that I get SBS ON Demand on my Playsation. But Netflix doesn't work on here. Do you have MUBI? I like the look of that! All obscure films, and a new one each day!

Now, my paranoid brain is worried about stuff like credits cards. Did you enter details? I may just go for gift cards instead.

No, not sure yet. I will tell you why he went crazy when I find out.

I'm just hoping the season improves as it goes along. Yu know, I was always worried about Justin Lin being involved. It just doesn't seem like an appropriate project for him.

Fuck, that's annoying. I am just thinking of all the hours I play NBA, yet have no coins.

Yes, I was really glad the game was fine. However, it still hasn't worked properly. If it had, there would've been a new player in the games, which there isn't. I can tell, because he would be the only 7 foot 6 guy in the game. Imagine being that tall. Damn.

Yes, it's so bizarre! They found out after a man had a neck full of ham fat. Ham fat! I meN, who in their right mind stuffs their mouth with a big piece of fat! This is when the heimlich manoeuvre was created. But Heimlich was a crazy man. His next idea was that malaria could fix aids. So, to test it out, he went to Africa to test patients. He would wit old their Malaria medication, as he thought their higher temperature would kill the aids virus. Pretty much using people as a guinea pig. Huge arsehole.

Yep, I agree. It's just mainly for the new rosters that I buy them. Most of them have hardly anything different.

I don't like the change to the old Transformers mythology either. I grew up with that shit. I just rewatched scenes of Transformers: The Movie. Man, these movies don't compare. Give me 80's cartoon and cheesy Tan Bush music any day!! You got the touch, you got the power!! :D

I only watched it so I can keep up with the franchise if amazingly a great movie comes along.

Well, I remember that Transformers: The Movie had a profound effect on me as a child. It was the movie that made my feelings on death truly sink in. I won't say why, because it's a great/sad moment. But man, the music is so awesomely cheesy. It's hard for me to judge whether it's genuinely good. Some of the heroic moments are so great. I don't think it would be a waste of time to check out. Plus it's nowhere near as long as the new movies.

Man, I was very weird with what I watched. You won't understand one choice. I don't think I even do! I watched Yogi Bear! :D What a terrible movie. My main problem was actually Tom Cavanagh. His delivery was so bloody awful. I could nearly have had fun if it wasn't him in the lead. Oh, and if Akroyd said pic-a-nic basket one more time, I was going to scream!

I also watched CBGB, which is also awful. It was like high school performances of punk legends. Malin Akermann as Debbie Harry was totally wrong.

Oh, and Orson Welles voices the villain of the film! I do suggest giving Transformers a go. Were you a fan at all growing up? Would you ice up who is who easily? Oh, and I think you know one moment I was talking about with death, but there is another moment that sticks with me just as much. I won't spoil, but it's a brutal one for fans.....yet very exciting.

Well, i liked the Yogi Bear cartoon movie as a kid. But this was nowhere near it. And nope, I recommend steering well clear of it. Anna Faris, who I usually enjoy, was totally bored by this. Her and Cavanagh seemed to be having trouble acting to animated characters.

I will get back to you about the egg nog riot soon.

The egg nog riot occurred at an army base in the 1800s. It was  established to train young men to protect America against the British. 

The people allowed to enter was laughable. Amputees and  12 year olds were previously allowed to enter. 

There was secret duels. They had to whisper to each other when they wanted to fight, as it was outlawed on the camp. :D 

The cadets were well disciplined,  but needed alcohol like most young men. But the cadets were only allowed to drink on two nights- Christmas and the fourth of July. the nights would usually end up violent. They would perform snake dances, and hoist a comondante  up on a chair. This would cause alcohol to be banned for Christmas. The cadets planned for it to be the biggest night ever. :D

There was two taverns close by. One so close, it would frequently tempt cadets. The colonel dealt with this, by buying it, then turning it into a hospital. :D 

So the cadets would head to the other tavern. One was so drunk, that he fell down a sixty foot ravine while bolting from the tavern because a professor came in. A friend shouted down if he was ok. He wanted to laugh at the ridiculous question, but He was in so much pain, he raised one bloody arm to show he was still alive. He was hospitalized for four months. So, kinda got caught anyway. :D 

The guy that fell down the ravine eventually came back. He was on board for an egg nog party. They purchased many of the ingredients from the tavern, and stole the rest from the kitchen. They also bought mutton to cook over the fire in their dorms. Mmm, hot room mutton. :D

The colonel was aware something may happen, so he put two in charge of watching the cadets in the night. One was sergeant Hitchcock. He patrolled the hallways, unaware that in the rooms, they were quietly getting shitfaced. He awoke to noisy cadets at 3 am. He went to the rooms to find them cooking food, and smelling of alcohol. He couldn't find any, then sent some back to their rooms who were hiding under blankets. Then, he noticed another 
still under blankets. He told him to get out. The cadet, like a ghost-like figure, still with the bed sheet on him. 

'Uncover yourself!!' Hitchcock said, as the cadet slowly tried to edge himself out of the room. Hitchcock yanked the sheet from him to reveal a cadet in uniform, but his face still concealed from his cap over his face. :D 
Hitchcock ordered the cadet show his face, but he just stood there, still with cap over face. 
 
He waited fifteen seconds, then repeated his order. 'Sir, don't make me resort to violence with a gentleman!'. But the cadet just tried for the exit, with Hitchcock blocking his path. He finally snatched the cap from his face, and ordered him back to his room. He told them they were under arrest.

The cadets were furious Hitchcock used force. One cadet said: 'Get you bayonets, and pistols if you have them, boys! Before tonight is over, Hitchcock will be dead!'

Hitchcock was asleep in his bed. He awoke to footsteps outside his room. Then, bangs on the door from a pistol butt. Then, they ran away. He heard from the end of the corridor: 'howdy-ho, Hitch!' :D 

The other soldier who was supposed to be watching was Thornton. He awoke at 4:50am, and went for his morning stroll. To his amazement, he found to cadets on the ground with their shirts open. Totally confused, he then spotted Fitzgerald, a top 5 student, wielding a curved sword. Thornton ordered him to put the weapon down, only to have Fitzgerald scream at him maniacally. :D Just imagine this. Thornton has  just woke up, so has not seen the progression of the craziness over the night. These are cadets training to be the best soldiers, now they may want to kill him. :)

Thornton then heard the noise of drums outside. The cadets now didn't care about being caught, and were acting completely crazy. He went to stop the music, but didn't make it. A cadet struck him over the head with a pice of firewood, knocking him unconscious. 

The hallways were now complete chaos. Cadets run it around with swords and muskets, firewood being thrown at walls  and the occasional shot was fired. One cadet open the window for air, but proceeded to vomit out the window, then fall out of the window onto his vomit. :D 

One cadet broke into the barracks for a pistol, with the intent of killing Hitchcock. The cadets were throwing rocks at his room window, and they also tried to break down the door. Hitchcock burst out of the room, surprising the cadets. He went to Thornton's room, only to find giggling cadets, throwing rocks at his window. 

Hitchcock yelled at a soldier to get the colonel here for help. But the cadets thought he said get the bombardiers, the hated artillery men. One cadet ordered the rest to fortify the barracks, ready for the oncoming 'attack'. One cadet heard the rumour of the 'invasion' and would ask each cadet passing 'are you a gentleman, or a bombardier?' :D 

The riot quickly ended when the colonel showed up at 6am. The south barracks cadets woke, completely sober,  to the shock of the nearly destroyed barracks. Shards of broken cups and glasses everywhere. Bannisters ripped away and thrown with other rubble.

Meanwhile, the other cadets stumbled from the barracks. Shirts torn, and most barefoot, swearing, and abusing cadet officials. Some men remained in the rooms, still drinking bloody egg nog. Two cadets were hugging. Many cadets would ignore roll call, whilst others, to their great delight, would answer to every name called. :D One cadet  boasted of his drumming ability, others yelled that the bombardiers were  still coming, and some cadets were still breaking windows as they walked to roll call! 

About a third of the cadets (or about 100) were involved, in what would be become to be known as the egg nog riot. It was the decision to court martial 19 men, the leaders of the riot.   165 witnesses were called, and thousands of pages of information was collected. 

Fun fact! One of the cadets was Jefferson Davis, who would become the President of the confederate states of America. He finished last in his class. His experience at the barracks led him to have a long hatred for the Yankee army. In his memoirs Davis said he didn't rat on any cadets, but records show he told them that his roommate was loading his gun in the room.

How is this not a movie? It's like Animal House for real!

Nah. The guy that voices Prime now did it in the cartoon. They have also brought back the original voice of Megatron as well.

For my sake more than your own, can you watch 'Megatron must be stopped....no matter what the cost' on YouTube for me? It's a short clip. I only need you to see the first minute or so. It just gives a perfect glimpse at the film. :) Please do this for me. I don't suggest you will enjoy it as I do, but you may see how it could get to me if I've been seeing it since I was a kid.

I had not, until you told me! It looks great. Let's hope the movie matches the quality of the poster!

Revenant looks amazing! It looks uniquely shot, doesn't it? The director also makes it feel like you are right in the movie with Hugh Glass. Can't wait to see this! One of the most amazing bad asses of all time! Him, and Michael Malloy I think. :D

Have you seen The Hunt or Fruitvale Station?

I watched The Last Circus, from the director of Witching and Bitching. Not as good, in my opinion, but worth a watch. Bloody batshit fun. Clowns fighting in a spanish war in the 40's with a machete sound fun? :D

Oh, have you watched the short film Kung Fury? It's half an hour long, and it's all on YouTube. 18 million people have watched it. It's bloody fantastic! You need to check it out! Kung Fury's partner is Triceracop. :D

Yep, full of music like that! :D I can't explain the joy I get when Optimus launches himself into the air like that. It's nearly inspirational to me! :D The combo of the music and that is so awesome to me. Those are nor ordinary decepticons he is taking out either! Those are series regulars he is wiping out. I have another clip, but it may be too spoilerish. Beautiful 80's music, though. :D

If we get a fun Gremlins type movie, I would be fine with that. A bit funny, and a bit scary is could be great.

Yeah, I watched both The Hunt and Fruitvale Station this weekend. 5/5 and 4.5/5 for those. I plan to see A Short Film About Killing next.

Yeah, no problem. You just see them when it suits you buddy. :)

Sorta like a grindhouse film, but I wouldn't make the comparison. It just embraces the 80's with bad hair, cliche characters, Kung Fu, looks like it's on a vhs tape (yet the action is shot well), and the music you'd expect. It sounds like Drive at times. The films tone is set in the first thirty seconds. I seriously think that's all you would need to see to be on board. I was already giggling like a child. :) oh, and it's very violent, and over the top. I've seen it four times now. :D

This won't be like the egg nog story, it's just a tidbit. The KKK in the 1800's gave stupid names to leaders such as empire wizard, titan, grand goblin, killer grap, knight hawk, kleegal, and cyclops. The secret meeting were called klonvications, local clubs were klaverns and membership fees were klektokens. Bloody weirdos.

The anger I felt in The Hunt was very rare. The hate for a little girl! Oh, and Mads is the bloody man! So versatile! I just think of his gangster in Pusher 2, the bond villain, the teacher, the cowboy, the cannibal. He never let's me down.

Hmmm, I can't think of any show like Penny Dreadful at the moment. It's not the quality of Breaking Bad of Game if Thrones, but i like the gothic feel to the show. However, Penny Dreadful is better than the lazy horror tv shows I see coming from Fox at the moment. Just the ads put me off some of those shows. It may be worth watching the pilot to see what you think. I'm currently away, but I will get back to the comment soon. I will also fill you in on the radium girls. Watched Ant Man, Inside Out and Trainwreck. Train wreck was my favourite, the other two are about the same. I don't get how many are putting Inside Out above movies like The Incredibles, Wall E, Up and some of the Toy Story movies. Sure, it's great, but it felt really kiddie in comparison to the other films. 3.5/5 is what I would give it. Oh, and the short film Lava, bloody corny! I lava you, come on! Ant Man was disappointing. More than any Marvel film lately, this is such a basic film. Can you think what to expect in a Marvel film? Well, Ant Man delivers all those tropes without really adding anything. Oh, and the bad guy, it so bloody bland. Mwhaaaaah! You know that laugh villains have in kids cartoons? Well, that's what I was thinking when I was watching him. Oh, and most Marvel films

One thing I would say about Ant-Man is the de-aging technology has advanced amazingly! Douglas looks like he did in the 90's at one point in the movie. So much better than young Jeff Bridges in Tron 2.

Nah, I'm even worried about Thanos! They keep building him up! They also did that with Ultron, and we know what happened there. The winter soldier I didn't mind, mainly because he was an actually threat (unlike Ulton), and they set the mood with his own menacing theme music when he showed up.

Cool, I will make sure to check out A Walk Among the Tombstones when it's free to watch. :)

I agree with you about Tron 2. I just wish they didn't have that one scene in the beginning with a young Jeff Bridges at his house, that brings me out a bit. They didn't even need to show his face.

Yeah, I'm not sold on the look of Thanos either. But we'll see. I'm sure I said something else before, but I can't remember.

I watched it! 5/5 for Le Samourai. Delon was perfectly cast for this role. His eyes, are so menacing, yet so dead. This film has some ideas that I just loved so much. Have you seen it?

Oh, I didn't say before, I'm very excited for the Evil Dead series. I wonder if the tone of the show will flip flop, like the movies did?

Melville lost his building in a fire. There was one casualty. The bird in Le Samourai.

I just knew it would be! I was scared when I had a few questions, but Melville bloody delivered again! Man, I wish more of his films were readily available! I would be watching all of them! None in shops, none on YouTube! Bloody shit it is. I think he could be a top 10 director for me.

My favourite is Evil Dead 2. I think that gets the balance between comedy and horror perfect. And yes, I put them all above the reboot, which I give 3/5.

Nah, if ABC's of Death is a 3/5, you're probably looking at 2 or less for the original. K for Knell would be right up there, but it's Z for me! :D True, it's bloody twisted, but I love the reaction it got out of me. It's rare I'm repulsed in such a way that I have my mouth open, yet I'm still enjoying what i'm watching. Sure, other films shock me with similar gross imagery or themes, but none bring the what Z did for me. Bravo, I say. :) This may say something about my sense of humour, but G for Grandad had me pissing my pants at how weird it is. What did you dislike? E for Equilibrium didn't work at all for me, and P for P-P-P-Scary was absolutely horrendous to me.

Nope, only seen Le Samourai and Army of Shadows. But I like what I see! Even a drop in quality with his other films would still make it close to a 5. I just dig his style.

Ah yes, R for Roulette was great also. I didn't mind the animated shorts as well in comparison to the ones featured in the first film. Trust me, the highlights are few and far between in the first. I just felt grossed out (not in a good way) most of the time.

Could it have been the addition of Cumberbatch that did the trick?

Ah, yes. Any any yet what films you will be watching? Will they all be first watches? Or will you add rewatches as well? I may be running out of horror films to suggest! :D

Not like these Marvel fellas who like to deliver corny dialogue. That's it!! They're like bloody Bond villains from the 60's.

Well, you should make one Maniac from 1934. Whole movie on YouTube, and it's very short. Terrible film, but if you go in knowing this, you may have fun with it. I stress, you MAY like it. :) I will throw out some titles quick to see if you want to consider them. Note, I haven't seen some of these either.

Kwaiden?
Nosferatu the Vampyre? (my favourite version from 1979)
Splice or/and Cube from Vincenzo Natali?
Jacob's Ladder?
Frailty?
Stagefright: Aquarius?
Martyrs?

I know you said leave it for another time, but I couldn't help myself. :D

I can't see myself doing it, to be honest. I love to jump genres all the time, so I think these marathons don't suit me. But I will be sure to check out some when you are doing this.

Hahah! I like your guesses, very good choice. But no, they are wrong. The real two people are Helen Mirren and Jackie Chan. :D

How about the Maniac Cop trilogy? If not all of them, maybe the first two? I really enjoyed the sequel quite a bit more than the original.

It's night here. I loaded up the wheelbarrow with wood for the fire themother day. I needed to fill up the basket in the house. So, I thought instead of getting nit from the wheelbarrow, I would get it straight from the shed! You know, cut down on me having to keep filling up the wheelbarrow. I was in there, had a armful of wood, then, when I turned into the light, I saw something that distinctly looked like a spider run along the top of the wood. Know what I did? In the great words of Snoop Doggy Dogg....I dropped it like it's hot! The following was my inner monologue: "fuck this!" :D The wood still lays there in the middle of the wood shed. You know ever bit of bark that touched my foot had me bloody squirming! I'm not talking one of those harmless spiders. This was either a red back, or a white tip spider, which leaves you bedridden for months in agony.

Ok, I will try and think of a couple other bad/fun horrors for you as well.

I haven't seen Kwaiden. It's another film hard to find down here.

Klaus Kinski? Yes. It's similar in story, but I found it more enjoyable in every way. About a 4.5/5 for me. Maybe a 4/5 for you?

Cube is kinda like Saw before Saw. Low budget, with an interesting idea.

Well, kinda recommend Jacob's Ladder. You might like it more than me. I was just throwing it out there as a suggestion.

I actually did like Martyrs. It's about a 3.5/5 for me. But man, did it wallop me for around. I will say nothing, my lips are sealed. But, I still think you should test yourself, for sure. This is the horror month we're talking about! :)

Maybe 3 or 3.5/5 for Jacob's Ladder? Needs another go. Frailty is about a 4/5 for me.

If you find some YouTube horror movies, I might try and watch a few with you. Alice Sweet Alice is one, for sure.

Haha, I thought Chan would surprise you more than Mirren. Also, Matt LeBlanc and David Duchovny both started their careers in the same softcore porn film.

Same here. Comments all over the place.

Hey, what about Housebound and Witching and Bitching? Seems like the perfect time to watch them.

Yeah, our spiders are no joke. Except daddy long legs, the joke of the spider world. I used to play with them as a kid because I knew they couldn't bite me. It was only later that I found out that they are the most venomous spider in the world, but had fangs too small to penetrate human skin. Just now, I found out they CAN actually bite, but aren't the most poisonous spider. Mythbusters apparently did a test, and one bit him. So, I had spiders in my hand all the time, lucky I didn't get bitten.

Do you know an octopus limb that gets ripped off will still move around? It will even grab food, and reach it back to where the head would be. Creepy.

Well, I like most of Martyrs. But parts left me feeling really down. I watched it in my room, in the dark, on a portable DVD player, right near my face. So yeah, one part in particular, was a bit depressing. But still a good movie.

Well, I thought I should offer Hell Comes to Frogtown after I offered up disturbing movies recently. :)

I have seen The Burning. That's worth checking out, Gavin. I gave it 3.5/5, but I think you could like it more. If I'm not mistaken, Reelz gave it a 5/5.

It would creep me out to see an octopus leg trying to feed an absent head. I found this out when I read about octopus wrestling. Yes, octopus wrestling. You didn't misread. :D Kinda one sided, if you ask me! They even used to televise it. Now, get a giant octopus into it, then we have a match!

Oh, I missed your question about other extreme films. There is a few. Hostel is one. That movie put my head in a dark place for a few hours. Antichrist is another, and In the Realm of the Senses is another that comes to mind. The first two at least have some value. The last is the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen.

I have seen, and enjoyed Hellraiser. I loved the gory practical effects. Similar to The Thing. A 4/5 I would give it. I am actually going to watch Hellraiser 2 today, and maybe 3 as well.

Nah, her first. It's just I have more details now on what she was doing at Disney. I will have to check it out at some stage. Even if it's my cousin, it will be kinda hard to watch too much of a show for 5 year olds. :D

Then, he said he would bring back torture of prisoners! Completely lost me! :D But the ground were like wooooooo!!! It is a proven fact, that torture doesn't work. They just tell you nothing in the end.

Ha, I read Ebert's review. He tends to hate movies li,e this. He even called out anybody who likes this movie has no taste. Really Ebert? I can't like Hellraiser 2, and Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans. I hate when people make claims like that, it's stupid. Even if it came from Ebert.

I was going to watch Fantastic Four in two weeks, but I'm skipping it now. I will try and watch the Aussie film Last Cab to Darwin instead. Help Kate's friend Jacki Weaver out a bit, rather than give money out for crap. I'm hoping Hitman is crazy fun, because I want an action movie to watch as well.

My cousin's eps are on the Internet now, so I can watch them every now and then. :)

Scroll through your comments until you find a link. That is about Big Bird. Wacky story, trust me. :)

Yeah, Ebert's comment made me mad.

Did I tell you I watched Expendables 3 last week? 3/5 I started Hellraiser 3, but fell asleep. :) I might try it again tomorrow. Just from the start, I can tell the quality drop. I want to see Winter Sleep as well, but it's so bloody long.

The Guest is now coming out on Blu Ray this time next month. Finally!! Man, I really don't get the wait!

Crimson Peak is a good choice, for sure! I was actually contemplating recommending both of those the other day! You bloody mind reader! That's freaky! :) We'll be finishing each others sentences next. :D

I watched Hellraiser 3. Trust me buddy, if you ever want to check them out, stick with the first two. Part three starts getting cheesy, with the terrible one-liners, and they start trying special effects, instead of practical effects. On top of that, there was too much scenes from the previous films (part 2 guilty of that as well), waay too much explaining of the plot, and awful, awful acting First two films-4/5- part three- 0.5/5.

Yeah, I just had the same problems that everybody else did. The young team is not interesting, and not what we come to these movies for, and alack of blood was a quite distracting (dust come out of when a bullet hit). Banderas was a great addition, I wish he was in all three films! Also, Gibson had some great, memorable, bad guy dialogue.

I'm very confident I will like The Guest.

Yeah, in the future, we'll have conversations in bullet point form, no need to type out what we know. :D

How would they explain it to the kids if he was in there? Big Bird couldn't just reappear!

The hippo bill was discussed in 1910 when there was a shortage of food. America was going to introduce hippos to eat!!! :D They were going to stock them like cattle. There was also another reason. They introduced a Chinese flower, but it went crazy! Thousands and thousands of flowers flooded the waterways, blocking ships, and taking all the air away from the water, killing the fish. So, the their solution wad to bring in the hippo, hippo eats flowers, humans eat hippos. :D They were convinced by a soldier, who had fought against them in the Boer war (much more to this story pimping, nazis, revenge, aardvark holes, false names like F Crabs and Fritters, rival war scouts.) that hippos could be trained to be obedient. He said they could be walked on a leash, and fed milk by bottle. They believed him! :D His reason for the lie? He had a one man show he was traveling with, so he wanted the attention! :D

Were you expecting that? :D

Yeah, I guess I would've just been happy to see him alive again. It would have been interesting to see how they would've handled it! Make millions of kids happy? Or dishonour the memory of the guy by replacing him? Tough decision!

It could be a movie. The rival scout story is quite crazy. They were trying to kill each other for the whole Boer war. One of them even disguised himself as a dead cow, then floated down the river, straight past the soldiers. :)

Yeah, I think I did. But, there is already a movie about him, but it's very different to The Revenent. Oliver Reed is in it, I think?

I did, and I love the look of it. Harkens back to his Resevoir Dogs days, don't you think?

Seen the trailer for Goodnight Mommy? You may like that.

I watched Enchanted! I actually liked it! Amy Adams is infectiously happy. I can't get one of the bloody songs out of my head. :D How does she know that you love her? How does she know that you need her. Corny, but very catchy. 3.5/5

The Boxtrolls 3.5/5
Wadjda 4/5

Wadjda was a simple movie about a girl trying to get a bike (when they aren't allowed to ride them), but the girl was so good in her role, that I was so invested in her succeeding. I nearly teared up at the end. I won't say sad or happy tears, so I don't spoil it. :)

Watching The Black Sea right now.

They will be replaced, for sure. Just look at what happened with the Elmo guy. They just got somebody else.

Ah, sorry. Wrong actor! It was actually Richard Harris. I remember watching it before I knew it was a true story, or the other details. I think it is vastly different to the real story. I did enjoy it, though!

Very creepy. One person I talk to said it revolves around one plot detail that will either make it, or break Goodnight Mommy for you.

I enjoyed Black Sea, but some character decisions really bothered me. I couldn't make sense of them. However, still a strong 3.5/5. Wish I liked it more, seeing I was anticipating it so much.

It added for me now. Notice I wasn't mentioning what the film was? Well, you asked now, so I will tell you. It was....*cough*.......Mamma Mia!

I enjoyed Rare Exports, but I think I hyped it too much. I was expecting more, to be honest. One main problem was the lack of violence, and the humour didn't hit like I thought it would. But, still a 3 or 3.5/5. Been about three years, so I can't be too sure.

Just watched A Walk Amongst the Tombstones. I liked it a bit more than you. A 3.5/5 is about what I would give it. About the same score I give all these Neeson films. A little fact I only found after the movie, was that Jeff Bridges has also played this character before in 8 Million Ways to Die, which I have actually seen, but I didn't remember the name of the character.

Well, she didn't give a star rating (yes, on Letterboxd), but it seemed like she expected more from it. She watches messed up stuff like Salo though, so she may be desensitized to it.

Jude Law held Black Sea together for me. I also liked parts of the character development of Mendelsohn's character. I did find it funny that two guys that have been in every movie for the last few years (Mendelsohn and McNairy), were finally together! It was inevitable at the rate they both kept popping up.

2/5 for Mamma Mia! I found the lack of plot very lazy. Songs sometimes only slightly connected to what is happening. I can see why people sign on, it looked like am lot of fun. I don't think Streep was acting, she had a genuine smile on her face. You would think, for a musical, singing ability would be a key factor. Obviously not! Bronson is absolutely horrid singer. Skarsgaard isn't much better. Also, when I think of Abba, I think of how their voices harmonized so well together. In this film, when people sang together, it sounded like their voices were fighting each other. Sure, to represent Abba as a karaoke favourite, this is apt, but I would've still have liked them to somehow to show how good they sang together. Do I sound like an Abba fan? Ha, far from it.

Yeah, no problem. Oh, what about Basket Case? Seen that? Boonmee and Eli Hayes watched that and had fun at how bad it is. Could that be one? I think it's on YouTube.

Nah, I have only seen the first Candyman. I just just throwing options up for you to think about, that's all. :)

My main problem with A Walk Among the Tombstones, like Black Sea, was some character decisions, mainly the villains! And yes, that character death annoyed me to. Oh, and I wondered why they set the film in the 90's, but it makes sense to line it up with the other film. Also explains why he had long hair at the start, like Bridges did in the original film. But, I don't think they put too much thought into that really.

And two, it was written by Skip Woods, who was involved in the first Hitman, the first Wolverine, Sabotage and worst of all, he wrecked Die Hard 5. How does this fella keep getting work?!?

What about What We Do in the Shadows as an option? Did I already say it?

Very much interested in American Ultra. Seems like my style of movie, and yes, I did see what the screenwriter said. I don't think it should be the best option to make against original films being dead when it was reviewed poorly. But I feel sorry, as the person is probably upset/angry by this.

Man from Uncle was okay, but none of the action set pieces really excited me. I also found Hammer and Cavill okay, but think other actors would have been better. I didn't connect with the humour most of the time, and I found the plot very boring, and not interesting enough for me to pay close attention. I must admit, I was a bit tired, so it may improve a bit if I see it again. Alicia Vikander was a highlight in many scenes for me, but I wish she got more to do. Oh, and there is some very cringy sexual jokes that didn't work for me. I also wanted to know what the fuck the title of the movie meant. Be prepared, as it's a bloody long wait!

I blame Kurt Sutter, the writer of Southpaw for the problems. He just puts waaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too much tragedy in one movie. It gets to the point where I didn't care about what happened. I even laughed when I found out a character had died later in the movie (not a spoiler). Gyllenhaal delivers a great performance, but as you said, cliches everywhere. Oh, I got the sense Whitaker thought he was getting the best supporting actor for this movie. The performance has that vibe to me.

Watching this movie called Symbol. Two separate stories, that have nothing to do with each other (so far). An aging Mexican wrestler facing a younger opponent, and a Japanese man stuck in a white room. The latter story bloody fits my weird sense of humour perfectly. I have laughed so much so far! Similar to how much I laugh for Home Alone. I don't know how he came up with this batshit idea. I could explain it, but it's kinda hard. Looking at a 4.5/5 at the moment! :D

I just found out there was an Aussie bushranger Mad Dan Morgan, who was killed after he held up banks, then had parties with them for hours. He was eventually killed. They took his beard for a souvenir, his face to be studied, and his scrotum to make tobacco pouches. :O Dennis Hopper was in a movie about him. Bet they left out this last details. :D

The jury is still out for me on Cavill. I saw him in Stardust and The Count of Monte Cristo (I enjoy that film, despite the hate it gets), but I can't remember him. I also saw him in The Cold Light of Day, which wasn't a movie worth judging him for (it was bloody terrible), but I enjoyed him in Immortals.

Whitaker has his moments where he is good, but some line delivery of tragedy seemed very forced, and trying to get attention.

5/5 for Symbol. I really, really, really want to describe it, but I don't want to spoil it. But I think it would fit my sense of humour more than yours. But, I could be wrong. This is actually the third film I've seen from this director. I saw Big Man Japan a couple of years ago, and R100 a few months ago. Symbol was by far my favourite of the three. And yes, there is a slight connection between the two stories. A connection I would've never made! Wow, it is a batshit movie! Love it! :D

Well, he had Mad Dan Morgan also had Irish blood in him, so, I guess he is the anti Ned Kelly.

Wow, no kidding about the music vid. And Carpenter doing the VoiceOver. You sly dog, keeping that from me. :D You know what? I fucking love that song! Not blowing smoke up your arse, I genuinely was bopping along to this. I enjoy a song with a melody like that, and when they switch singers all of a sudden.

Technically, by YOUR LIST, you fav is Scream. :D Somebody either has to rethink that question, or fix their fuckin' list. :D But seriously, my fav isn't the norm.

Well, the top 8 (16 teams) of the AFL face off to see who are the final two. At the end, there is a premiership cup.

Well, our chances got even better. We bet the favourites tonight. Now we're one win away from the grand final. Man, the other W.A team is there as well! We have never faced off against each other in the finals. There is a very good chance that will bloody happen! We will never live it down if they beat us in the grand final. I am very nervous. Plus, one of my annoying bosses team is Fremantle, so that gives another reason to not want them to win.

I'm hoping they put The Guest on Foxtel On Demand next week. If not, I won't mind buying it. I'm sure I will like it.

Hah! It must've felt weird to call it soccer. :D

Our next game is in two weeks. Not sure exactly when yet, but I can let you know if you want. We earned a weeks rest by beating the fourth placed (and the winner of the last two premierships) Hawthorn. Fremantle plays today, to see if they get a weeks rest as well. Then, if we win the next game, we are into the grand final. Possibly against Freo. Man, my nerves will be shot if we both make it!

It is a great effort for the West Coast Eagles to finish second. At the start of the year, we lost our two key tall defenders for the year to knee reconstructions, and had a small defense all year. In our game, many of the guys are my height in the forward line, yet, guys only six foot, have been playing on them, and consistently beating them all year! Just amazes me. Credit also has to go to second year coach Adam Simpson, who's tactics protect that backline as much as possible. We only have two tall defenders left, and one has a hamstrung injury, and the other has a bad shoulder, that he can't lift above his head. So, they are battlers down there. Also, we had doubters all season, we keep winning, yet nobody gives them any credit. Probably because we are a young side, and we finished outside the top 8 last year.

One final note is our ruckmen (not sure if you know what a ruckmen is) Nic Naitanui. A month ago, he lost his mum to a heart attack. He is dedicating his finals performances to her. Last night, the giant man was in tears as he walked the oval, then hugged his ruckmen teammate. A great moment to see.

Sure, I'll let you know. Go to afl.com.au if you want to check the score instead of watching it.

Yeah, it was even better because we were missing another two players from injury. Now, with the week off, we will have them back next week.

Well, the ball is bounced in the middle of the ground about 30 metres in the air. The two ruckmen on either side are usually either the tallest, or most athletic in the team. They run at each other, and collide in mid air. They then try to tap the ball to the smaller midfielders below them. There is a lot of skill in it. Our ruckmen has the best leap ever (he leapt over a guy and dunked the ball at a basketball game I was watching live) so he gets over top of everybody, and he can tap it down to the midfielders running past. But sometimes the opposition read the taps, and steal the ball. But he is good, as he also thumps the ball with his fist forward sometimes to surprise them. Hope you kinda get it, hard to explain to a football guy. :)

Can they really go campy after that Godzilla? It would seem strange. Maybe they will make in an underdog story? Make us hope King Komg wins, against the odds?

Well, I'm not much of a football (soccer football) fan, but I do like an underdog story. Good for him kicking that goal. I bet he felt bloody great. I have tried to watch it, but I can't get used to not many goals getting kicked, I'm not used to it. How do football fans feel when no goals are kicked? I'm curious. Personally, it would piss me off!! :D

I watched this movie called The Tale of the Fox from 1937. I loved it, and found it very funny. If Wes Anderson says he wasn't inspired by this movie for Fantastic Mr. Fox, then I call him a liar. This is the second stop motion animated film ever. I found it very funny, and amazing how much work it must've been to do back then. It actually took him ten years to complete!! :O There is one part, where an army of animals are marching, then leaping over the group in front of them at the same time. I wondered how he did that.

They may be separate, but from the article I read, they seemed to mention the Godzilla film quite a bit.

I know it is just because I never grew up with football. If I did, I would be sitting there next to ya cheering. :D But, I'm an Aussie, so there was no escaping AFL. Just think how big football is there, now transfer that over here. That is how it is, that big. Maybe not as much money involved, but the passion and impact on culture is exactly the same.

I will watch Krampus tomorrow.

I read that they now realize the size problem. Shows how little thought they put into these ideas. They still think they could make it, and be able to explain the size difference. Godzilla would step on him!

You have to be a West Coast Eagles fan. Deal? :)

I did see the trailer. I enjoy the humour, but I am worried it will be about jump scares. Let's hope the trailer doesn't reflect that it is full of them.

Cousin Kate adapted the play Jasper Jones last year. I watched, and really enjoyed it. Now, in a very weird coincidence, they are shooting the film version in my town! Isn't that bloody weird? They asked Kate to be in it, but she will be doing a play in London at the time.

Ah, glad you liked it! My only problem was that it looks cheap at times. How about that start, en? Did you see that coming? :) what would you rate it? Oh, and Scott Atkins is a supreme athlete.

Regeneration is worth checking out, but you probably should have seen it first. However, I did the same. It will feel tonally weird after seeing that film.

I read a good point about King Kong: He wouldn't need to climb the Empire State building, he would have to be the size of it to be any chance. Even then, Godzilla still has the upper hand, except maybe with mobility.

How did he break it? Player sliding it? We outlawed that in our game after a brutal leg break a few years ago.

I'm not sure what play she is doing over there. She is so busy, that I lose track. I will get my dad to ask her mum, she always knows. Although, sometimes I inform her of a few things Kate has done. Haha. It will be weird when I buy Jasper Jones, seeing familiar places in the film.

Did you know prior to watching that Van Damme was the bad guy? That was a great surpass for me. The face of the franchise, turning bad.

Yeah, no worries, I will let you know for sure. Getting towards the end of Dragon Age now.

Have you heard of To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar? I watched it today, and had fun with it. Fun seeing Snipes and Swayze in drag. Two of the iconic action stars of the 80's and 90's. Swayze is a good looking woman! Haha! ;)

What really bugs me about your football is when they badly fake injuries for free kicks. Do they still do that?

Oh yeah, forgot that. I kinda wish they kept him the bad guy, I remember. I think I subconsciously blocked that out, so the start is just as good to me. Really, that's one of my favourite beginnings to a film from the last few years.

Saw Take this Waltz. Loved it. Either a 4 or 4.5/5.

No, haven't seen any Drunken Master movies. I wonder if I can watch Legend of the Drunken Master without seeing The Drunken Master?

I am keen to see Kung Fu Jungle. That's on pay tv soon.

Well, I personally think it's up to the umpires to be aware of players looking for free kicks. Our umpires used to be the same, people would flop when they were pushed when play wasn't stopped so they would get a 50m penalty rewarded. Now, umpires are onto this, and never call them.

He was the good guy, but some of them don't count anymore, they struck them from history. :D So because of this, it's not as much of a stretch to see him bad. I see why Universal Soldier: The Return isn't canon anymore, it is really awful!

I have no access to The Drunken Master, but the other is on pay tv this month.

Well, I see why you weren't impressed then. But, is it common in football to boo? I read fans were booing their own players, which seems weird to me. Oh, do they shake hands after the game? No matter how much they bash each other in our sport, they shake hands after the game. Unlike the NBA, who, in my opinion, have bad sportsmanship.

Yeah, he will probably run out of legs, but I'm glad he had a good start. I love an underdog story.

Man, I watched this short film Le Vampire from 1945. a doc about the vampire bats. In the short, they put a bat in with a guinea pig. The bat, slowly sucked on it's nose, until it started sucking it's blood out of it! It has a tongue like a cat, so it was lapping it up! It was horrifying! :D

Ha, we don't play Western Bulldogs. :) We play North Melbourne Kangaroos. They finished 8th on the ladder, and are the first team ever (over 100 years) to by one of the last four from 8th n the ladder. They are also a tough matchup for us. They have an equally good ruckmen, and they have three tall forwards, which will stretch our short backline. We should win, but I am a bit worried!

There's a game on right now. I will know if we play our W.A rivals in the grand final (not looking likely), or the reigning premiers.

Afl.com.au is probably a better choice to check the score.

Well, I think we would've had a better chance against Fremantle. Even though we bet Hawthorn a few weeks ago, they step up in the big games. Some bloody tough guys in their team. But I have to give it to Nat Fyfe from the Dockers. He played with a fractured leg! Hobbling around, yet he still was one of their best players!

No, I didn't see that. Interesting! I can see him getting Andrei Arlovski from DOR for the role, but nobody quite has a head like Robert Z'Dar! Ten hours of makeup if they want to make Andrei look like him. :D

Oh, and yes, the first two Maniac Cops are worth watching. Forget the third, it's absolute garbage.

Cool. Cross your bloody fingers at least one W.A team makes the grand final. :)

Well, there is, but he has been injured all year. Fyfe has been the new best this year, but the Eagles have one called Mtthew Priddis, who is isn't flashy like Fyfe, but consistenly gets his hands on the ball.

Yeah, we didin't get a goal for the whole first quarter! Lowest score we've ever had. Oh, and you actually watched a bit? Was it hard to follow? It may just look like crazy ants running everywhere to people who haven't seen it before. :)

And I am pumped, for sure! But we will have to play much better against Hawthorn. They had taggers (players who just follow a player to restrict them) on our key midfielders, which Hawthorn don't do, plus they don't have a good a ruckmen as ours. So, there is a few things in our favour. And once again, our small defenders defeated their big opponents. Just amazing to see.

Your list of horror films must be close, yeah?

It may not look like it, but there is a lot of tactics going on out there. Trying to force to to kick a certain way, crowding certain areas, trying to cut off kicks they make look available and much more.

Yeah, much like Gaelic football. That's why so many can make the transition.

It'll be a tough ask! It will be amazing if we win, after not making the finals last year.

Ha, I have it on. Stop complaining you have a goal already! :D

I think you should add 31 new films, unless you think the quality will be stretched too thin. Also, if you do add rewatches, maybe for films you haven't seen in a long time, or films you might like better on a seconds chance?

So it looked even more right to me. :D I look silly, but it's other circumstances that have led to this. :)

Did you know there was a mass conspiracy that night? Many people were supposed to be killed, but Lincoln was the only one. Oh, and the guy with no testicles cut them off with scissors! Hope you're having spaghettit and meatballs. :D

No, I didn't watch it all. It was late, and I fell asleep. Whether that was because I was watching it, I don't know. :) However, I do think our sport picked up a few things from football. How they spread across the field.

Oh, he left the scrotum, too. ;) Are you happy with me? :D Anyway, the second assassin had a guy waiting on a getaway horse (hilarious), and he snuck into the family home of his target. He was asleep, and he stabbed him repeatedly in the face. However, this was right where he had a splint, preventing him from movien his jaw. His daughter screams, and the guy on the getaway horse just took off. :) so all he was doing was staging that, leaving minor wounds. The victim rolled behind the bed, and the intruder couldn't reach him! He is right there! Right there! Behind the bed! And this fella could not reach him. What happened?!! This is when the stabfest began. His guard came in - STAB!- so did his daughter- STAB! STAB!! He then ran down the stairs, right as a messeger boy with a telegram arrived.......STAB!! :D Why him?! He then ran out of the horse, jumped on a horse, then yelled "I'M MAD!! I'M MAD!!" :D What an exit! Imagine witnessing this?! The daughter screamed her dad was dead, but he angrily said: "I'm not dead, get a doctor!" :D None of the cuts caused death, which is an amazing thing for the state medicine was in back then.

It is often thought John Wilkes Booth broke his leg from jumping out of the window. This is not the case. All that happened was......his fucking horse......fell on him! :D

The man with no nuts, Boston Corbett (he changes his name, broke orders of his sergeant, and shot Booth anyway. He said it was the will of god, guiding his rifle. This is also why he cut his nuts off, so he wouldn't have impure thoughts.

Have you seen Secrets & Lies? Man, I loved that movie 5/5.

I loved Secrets & Lies, but Naked is my favourite that I have seen so far. Happy-Go-Lucky is another great movie. What is interesting about his films is he has no script when he hires the cast. He looks in film schools for new talent, hires them, then as a team, they create a story. That's a great idea to me.

I'm in the city. I brought Spring with me. I will watch it here, maybe also Absentia.

Star rating for Dark Angel? Do you also know it's also called I Come in Peace?

I bought some horror films today, and a samurai film.

Beyond the Darkness
Juan of the Dead (that is not a typo)
Scarecrows
Dolls (loved the cover art!!)

Rurouni Kenshin is the samurai film. It's considered a hidden gem, so I thought i should tell you about it. If it's good, I will buy the two other films in the trilogy.

Also watched The Visit today. I can see the kids annoying plenty of people, but I had a great time with them. The boy made me laugh a lot! And some scenes creeped me out, that's for sure. My problem is it starts to get a bit predictable towards the end, but I still enjoyed the ride. I would give it a solid 3.5/5.

*********Spoilers for The Guest************

See! You didn't need to worry that head. :) It's not that it didn't work for me, it just caught me by surprise. I was expecting him to be the hero of the film, not the villain. So, it just takes readjusting in my brain, that's all. I even was waiting for an explanation towards the end that he had to kill them because he was a time trvaller or something, that's where my brain was going. :D

I must say, I kinda dig his hair! Kinda wish my hair was like that. Sometimes that style is a bit too hipster, but he wore it well, I think. :)

You are absolutely right, too. His charismatic performance, and that undertone of evil holds the film together.

It is also more of a horror film that I expected! Huge nods to 80's slashers films, which that divisive ending clearly nods to. Not knowing what film I was in, my reaction was also the same as Maika Monroe. :)

I see on the imdb message board that somebody said that if you like The Guest, you should watch Housebound. :)

The soundtrack is an added bonus. Really enjoyed it, and I need to find some of those songs.

4.5/5 could become a 5. I would just need to see it again

I'm watching Sicario tomorrow, and The Martian on Thursday. May fit in Straight Outta Compton as well.

I like how it looks like the house will be a big part of the story of Crimson Peak. Houses that evolve over the arc of the story gets me going! Big reason why I like The People Under the Stairs, The Addams Family and The Conjuring so much.

I'm excited about them finding liquid water on mars. That opens up so many possibilities!

*********Spoilers for The Guest************

Notice the two strands that part through the middle of his hair from the side? I thought that looked cool. And the most subtle bit of blonde in his hair. I don't usually go on about guys hair, but his is worth it! :D

So, do you think he is a cyborg? That is one idea I see.

Dan Stevens is an actor to watch. Hey, do you think he would be a good Bond?

I think I will enjoy the killing so much more the next time.

Do you think there will be a sequel?

He makes himself look so different in A Walk Among the Tombstones. I believe him to be a sleazy creep in that film, and I definitely believed him as the charming psychopath in this film!

Yeah, that's the best assessment of what he is. If the experiment went well, he could've been in The Avengers. :)

I would only want a sequel if Wingard was involved. If he thinks of a good idea, sure. If the studio wants to do it without him, then definitely not.

Or both? Just depends what site I am on at the time. I don't get why Letterboxd doesn't work on this piece of shit. :)

Your list, so you tell me when. :) I will make time to watch them.

Man, I fell over on the concrete. Both my knees are ripped apart. Bloody stings! I nearly would have preferred a deeper cut, cos they hurt less. :)

Damn. What movie you going to replace it with?

I have seen Eyes Without a Face, so talk about it all you want. In fact, I need you to say so I can remember! :D

Oh, was it the direction or script that was the main problem with Night of the Comet?

I look forward to talking to you there. :)

Yep, that works for me. What film first?

That a good replacement in my opinion. Damn, and I saw Onibaba on YouTube as well. They must've taken down the eng sub version.

Well......we were terrible. They were just so bloody clean, and our players made TERRIBLE decisions. They are still very young, so hopefully they learn from this.

I also gave Eyes Without a Face a 4.5/5.

I have seen Alice, Sweet Alice. So, when you're ready, leave your thoughts.

Yes, the future looks bright for my team. We will have our two key defenders back next year, and numerous players want to return home to WA next year, so we will be fine. But man, Hawthorn are amazing. Many consider tis group to be the best team of all time.

Oh, I forgot to say about The Martian. There's a lot of science talk! And they break down what they plan to do. I wouldn't be surpassed if most of what is shown is actually possible. Oh, and after Saving Private Ryan and The Martian, I think everybody is sick of trying to save Matt Damon. :)

Watching Kung Fu Killer now. Having a few problems. Should be more violent, scenes aren't convincing, as I don't forget they're actors. Like when they go to the opening crime scene at the start. Seemed really fake to me. Oh, and the script. Seems like they copied a blueprint from a Denzel Washington hollywood action movie. What I was hoping for was more of a Korean vibe, with a twisted storyline to match the strong premise. Also, it's kinda thin, hitting me over the head with blatantly obvious facts like he wants to be number 1 etc. Looking at a 3/5 for it as well. Oh, and the serial killer really didn't seem that threatening so far. Hopefully that changes.

Well, I'm sorry your team played so poorly.

I see notepad guy got the sack. :)

My problem was that I kept thinking of The Raid while watching Kung Fu Killer. Maybe unfair, but kinda hard to compare when that movie took it to the next level. I also gave it a 3/5.

*********Spoilers for Alice, Sweet Alice*********

3.5/5 from me as well. The score was creepy, I agree, but the creepy la la la is used in many horror movies.

Oh, the fat guy! That brown stain on his crotch! :O Yuck! I'm going to google him later, because he seemed very strange. Oh, and I felt uncomfortable when he attempted to rape Alice.

I didn't connect why Alice and the old lady both had the same mask. Do you know?

I didn't mind the priest killing itself, but all the logic questions it brought up were annoying. I will add to yours by wondering why the hell the priest wasn't more concerned when she reached in her bag!

Some think Alice killed a few of the people. What do you think?

************Spoilers for Alice, Sweet Alice********

Yes, Oliver Reed is good in everything I have seen him in. I should watch Thr Brood again, I think I would like it more the next time.

Sorry for the late reply.

I personally think she killed none, because they never really seemed to have any bond at all. However, she (ha, i nearly said i would just now :D)will obviously kill many in the future.

Maybe the plan was for the old lady to frame Alice? That is the only reason it makes sense they have same outfit other than the possibility of a team.

************Spoilers for Alice, Sweet Alice*******

Geez, can't remember the end of The Brood. Too many movies I have seen! :)

Yeah, The Martian is quite funny. I laughed a lot when he said he will wave as they go past. :D Didn't understand why Wiig was needed really. Do you think Glover and Ejiofor could be brothers? I love that they brought back the control centre cheering with paper in the air from the 90's action films. That is why I referenced Seagal movies when I first talked about it. :)

Well, Daniels was kinda that. But they made him not just an asshole, so it comes off more believable. And I kinda understand his position, even if it's a tough one to swallow at times.

My problem was I figured out who it was long before it was over. For it's time, it would have been fantastic. But so many have copied it, that it's lost it's potency.

If you plan on watching Lady in White, I will as well. I have wanted to see it.

Should I watch Nightmare City to find out what you're talking about? Is it worthy of discussion?

I also see you gave Horns 2.5/5. What was the problem?

Haha. Maybe it's time to watch a little fiom called Mamma Mia! :)

Ok, I will watch Nightmare City as well.

I'll give Lauara's review a read as well. Oh, and they have Juno Temple in the role of the pixie dream girl that is popular lately?

I am sick of the character, because they are one note. When it works for me, is when they develop another side to them. Two examples I can think of is Departures (not entirely accurate, but I thought Ryoko Hirosue was cute) and Ruby Sparks that got the characters right.

*********Spring spoilers*******************

4/5 for me.

Maybe explore the idea of her as a monster more, but is this a case of less is more? What if we were shown her, then it wasn't as impressive as in our mind? Don't get me wrong, I wanted to see her huge as well, but I think it wouldn't have made sense when she seemed to love him.

Yes, that was great, and surprised me in the church. Saying she got a little something, like she had meat in her teeth. Oh, and the old lady saying the zombie was taking heroin capped it off.

Spring gave me one of my biggest jumps since Insidious. :D When he went to kiss her, and she snapped at him, I nearly jumped off the bed. It was quite close to my face you see, and I wasn't expecting it at all! :D

What do you think of the start with the two poms?

Was the volcano related to her?

I am still confused how she got the ability to do this. What did she do 2000 years ago to start all this?

What I'm most happy about with this film is it's a unique creature. It's refreshing to see something that isn't a zombie, vampire, ghost or werewolf. Kinda why I love Jeepers Creepers so much as well.

*************Spring spoilers**************

Hugo Weaving and Toni Colette are coming to town to film a movie. This is the movie version of the book Jasper Jones, the play Kate adapted into a play, and the one she was asked to be in but couldn't.

Watching Twilight Samurai. Have you heard of it? Seems very good so far. Developing the character so far, which has me totally invested in what happens to him. A faded samurai (the time of guns has arrived) family man, dead wife, two girls, mother with alzheimers, and is mocked at work for being unwashed. I hope it keeps this up.

Got a scammer leaving a voice message on my answering machine saying he was going to sue me if I didn't ring him back. Haha

I was saying "check it out....Nightmare City" out loud because it was catchy saying it for me. :D out loud, I was putting emphasis on the CH in check, and leaving a pause as you see above. :D I know, I'm weird.

Do you think they were working within the restrains of their budget? Many of the monster moments may have been minimal to keep cost down. Maybe they wouldn't have even been able to deliver a quality creature. But I get what you mean about wanting more, it just didn't affect me that much.

Dd you laugh that she bit the guys balls off? :)

Poms is what Aussies call English people. Especially in the cricket. It's not an insulting saying, though a few snooty poms think it should be banned. My grandma used to call herself a pom.

Hereditary? I guess, but I want some more than that.

I wanted to see more as well. But I think the director is keeping us keen. I was going to say something gross, but I will leave it. Assume what you will. :D

Too bad Kate wasn't in it. I bet I would have got a part if she was here.

I watched Enter the Void, have you seen it? Mam, I think I enjoyed it? But disturbing as hell, especially that wtf ending. Geez, never seen nothing like that before! However, I'm still thinking between a 4 and 4.5/5.

Ah, I'm use to no balls now. Still not use to cut throats, poked eyes, or cut achilles.

***********Spoilers for Spring***********

Depends on the part. I wouldn't won't to be portray as a yobbo (town dickhead drunk) in the town, unless they were using my height or strength as part of the storyline.

I will track you down one day.........I won't need to be a tree.......

There really isn't too much grossness. It's mainly just visually unsettling with the camera always floating around. Unique story, I will give him that. That ending baffled me, though. I would be interested to see what you think.

I like Maniac Cop 2 quite a bit more than the first. Interesting to see if you're the same.

Well, I won't even bother mentioning Crimson Peak, The Witch and The Lobster, they are obvious.

The most intriguing for me are

Assassination Classroom
The Boy and the Beast (because I just saw, and love Wolf Children)
The Devil's Candy
Green Room
The Mind's Eye
Baskin


It's not on the list, but I like the sound of Men and Chicken, The Keeping Room and Yakuza Apocalypse.

Yeah, I think it's just the feeling of helplessness with a slit throat that gets to me. I also feel a little bit of a phantom tingle there every time.

......you won't see me coming.....

I think I was in the right mood for Enter the Void as well. You may have a feeling of ickiness. :D Don't watch it when you want a film to entertain you, like when I chose to watch Bird on a Wire this weekend. :)

I would give Maniac Cop 3.5/5, and the sequel a 4.5/5. I really dig it, and can see ewhy Tarantino loves it. The third is just a preposterous drop in quality, due to studio influence, and the firing of Maniac Cop 2 director.

Oh, I didn't look up the trailer for Assassination Classroom, I was basing my anticipation of the film just on the crazy premise. It's possible I will like it, as I enjoy weird movies.

Had you seen Cemetery Man?

Possibly High Rise as well. Mainly because Ben Wheatley is involved. But it does sound very similar to Snowpiercer, so hopefully he has different ideas.

I'm not sure what to make of the Hail Caesar trailer. It usually takes me two watches of the Coens films to appreciate them. I also started to notice Cloomey's age a bit in this trailer.

Nah, I knew I had recommended it to you, I just couldn't remember if you had seen it. Just talking about bizarre movies brought it to my mind.

Speaking of Barton Fink, that's a good example. Didn't get it at all the first time I saw it, the second time, it rose high in my list. Same happened with Fargo, Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowsk and O Brother, Where Art Thou? Only three have worked straight away, while I need to revisit a few. I can't explain it Gavin, just how it works with me when watching their work.

That's something I have never done. Let me know what you think of seeing an older film on the big screen if you do.

************Spoilers for Sicario*************
I also think Sicario did a great job in making you feel the emotions that Emily Blint has. The need to learn more, to keep going, then the feeling of being useless and out of place. I was fully invested, and felt the emotions. Props to the movie for doing this to me.

You get more Pinhead back story in part 2. That may bother you, but I enjoyed it. But you will regret getting more Pinhead if you watch part three. Seems terrifying in Hellraiser, eh? Well, he has cheesy lines in part three, and is constantly there for a joke. Sound like the Pinhead you know? Part 2, then only go further if you are curious.

Haha, yeah, it was very weird. I even added Science of Sleep to my early morning dazed watched movies. :D Good double bill, I must say!

Yep, I passed the other part as well. Although, I did take a while to get used to it. But the main thing is, it's all done, and it's another feather in my cap. May be wrong (not sure) way of saying it, but I don't care.

Yes, watch Bashir. It's runnig time was very appealing to me as well. No looking at the time from me. It was a quick watch, with nothing unnecessary added.

Yeah, not sure why I didn't like Road Games. Maybe I expected something else? Just didn't get into it. I own it, so it's easy to see again.

Yeah, because in the first film, Pinhead was just part of the group. But it was his popularity, that rose him to being the leader of the group in the sequel.

Science of Sleep is weird, but I think it's good. You kinda need a weird movie when it's about dreams.

Ok, I will watch Road Games again.

Yes! The big witch! That is the part that remains in my head, that is the part that had my mouth on the floor when I told you about if with no spoilers. :D

Have you seen Close-up? Just watched it, and it's another 5/5 film. Unique storytelling, with real court footage, and re-enactments from the victims and the prosecuted. Whole movie is on YouTube, if you ever want to check it out.

Telethon this weekend to raise money for children's hospital. When they get to 20 million, they will have raised 200 million in 48 years. It's only been in the last ten years that they get more than a million as well, so that's a good effort. The amount of people and events that happen for Telethon is amazing.

Ever been called a creeping Jesus? :D My mum used to call me that when I used to be quiet in the dark, trying to avoid waking them up. :)

Hour in, and they already have 1.5 million dollars. Is there Telethon in Ireland?

In the shopping mall two years ago, these kids (roughly 12 year old girls) were selling lollies and other stuff to get kids to give them $5 or so for Telethon, you know, minor money. Know what I did? I gave them $150. :D You should of seen their reactions! Mouth on the bloody ground! The girl I gave the money to immediately ran down to the security guard to hand the money.

I should add Science of Sleep lost me for a while. The story didin't hold me from it's initial idea. Still a 3.5/5.

Strange Circus is another you may like from the Witching and Bitching director. That blonde girl was made to play evil parts, don't you agree?

Ok, let me know if you like Close-up.

I look creepy to avoid waking them up. :D

Ha, yeah, I felt good giving that money to them. They were very thankful.

All of Woman in the Dunes is on YouTube. I'm telling ya, it's premise is like nothing you've seen. The less you know, the better.

Well, i'm watching Kon-tiki (very good) now, will get back to Blacula, enjoyed Black Cat (4/5) recently, The Thing from Another World and the rest are some noirs and foreign film not worth mentioning. I see Drunken Master is on YouTube, may watch that soon. The sequel came and went on the tv very fast! I missed it.

I'm glad you like Nosferatu! So, you like it more than the original? I think Herzog made it his own.

Tabu? Never seen that. What's it like?

If I recall, Herzog changed the story around a but as well, which I appreciated. Some remakes just follow the prvious film, but he definitely brought something new. See? I told you that you would like it more! :)

Ah, Tabu has a short running time! That always appeals to me. :D I will check it out soon.

They raised 25 million.

Kate gave my dad's number to people involved innthe film for some reason. Not sure why.

Nah, I'm from the west, we're all about Footy. :D From Melbourne to here, to Darwin, it's all football. While from Sydney to Brisbane, it's all rugby. So, I was just born the wrong place to follow rugby passionately. Still will be happy if they win, though.

Yep, The Last Circus. :) Strange Circus seems to work better, mainly because of how weird the movie is.

Audions were held for parts in Jasper Jones today while I was at work. They were also filming near where I work.
You will have to check it out when it's possible. :)

Yeah, I found out why. I was on the phone to her mum for 15 minutes today. She told me that he wanted a contact in the area. I guess if he was after a specific shot, he will ask dad for advice.

She was also saying how Kate is a method actor. Like when she would get parts when she was still at uni. If the part was a bad, or disturbed person, she would act like a bitch for three weeks. :D I found that interesting, as I didn't know she did that. She is filming for a new tv show with Jacki Weaver that will be shown here next year.

Yep, quite a divide indeed. When the AFL grand final was on when I was in Queenlsand, I had to go 11 pages in to find anything about it! If I was in Melbourne, it would've been the first 15-20 pages.

I think you should check out the vid, it's not very long. II love how excited Bruce the commentator gets. :D

I wish The Town that Dreaded Sundown looked better. Bit too grainy if I recall. Am I remembering right?

Oh well. The Last Circus is worth a poke.

I think Kate doesn't do stay in character quite as much as she used to when she was at college. She doesn't need to take it home with her now. But there is more at stake with a play, than a movie. She has to be in character, and ready to go for each show. She has told be in the past that she will find a dark corner somewhere to get back into the character.

Funny thing is half the cast are her actual friends, and she even dated one of them in the past! :D

You saying special is funny. Bruce the commentator has a unique way of saying that word that is his trademark. Sppeeeeeeccccciaaaaalllll. He only pulls it out on the rare occasion. Surprised he didn't for that mark! I think he was too hyped up to care.

Also, some cntext for the mark. Moorcroft wasn't even that good a player, but he couldn't be stopped in the half!! I was watchingnthat as it happened, and it's still one of the best half of Footy I have seen a forward play. I can tell you, it was an amazing moment, especially after watching him kick all the goals prior to that mark. The thing is, he had only touched the ball eleven times! Yet he had kicked six goals. That is a remarkable efficient effort for a mediocre player. And yes, it would be regarded as onemof the best marks of all time. It's my choice, but there's a few contenders.

No, I will watch it. Tell me what to look up.

Sure, I will watch TheHowling. Give me an excuse to finally watch my DVD after owning it for five years. :D

Craving popcorn. I'm having some this weekend. Watching Crimson Peak, Black Mass, Legend and maybe The Walk.

Another great moment was when Leigh Mattews snapped the point post when he ran into it. :D

Fringe player at best was Gary Moorcoft. But at that moment, he was absolutely unstoppable. He had five different opponents before half time! That's unheard of! They simply had no answer for the little man.

Well, I watched it. That was a very good goal, and knowing what he has been through, males it even sweeter. Good on him.

Hmmm. You have me curious about Starry Eyes. I may pick it up this weekend if I see it for a decent price.

I think like that all the time. Birdman gave me that reaction, and many others that don't come to mind at the moment,

Yeah, it's a great part of our game, that I wish still happened more. The game has become so much about running, that it's rare to see the big marks like that.

I have no idea why Holiday Road popped into my head, it's so weird! :D

Well, it takes all sizes to play AFL. Tony Liberatore used to play, and he was 5"3. Champion of the game as well. Although you are right now. The average midfielder is increasing in height. Some of them look like key position forwards running around as a midfielder. But I think they lie about some of their heights! When I stood next to some players in the airport, they seemed much shorter than they should have been.

Did you get who really snapped the post? The guy in brown and gold (Hawthorn) with the moustache.

I will check that vid out tomorrow. Bit tired right now.

I kinda hope for a rule change in the AFL. The tactic now is to flood one end of the ground to keep the ball in that end for one team, then a mad dash when the ball gets free. It's ugly footy, as it gets held in too much. Like rugby scrum nearly. Fne for rugby, not so much for footy.

I will show you a different type of mark now tha highlights their courage. Type in Nick Riewoldt's mark against Sydney. The commentators say it all why it's so good. After you see the mark, go back a bit, and you will see where he started to take it. Quite amazing.

********The Howling spoilers************

The transformation scene will stay in my head. Such a fantastic moment that holds up amazingly! It looks better now, than many of the cg transformations. The way the skin moved like it was bubbling was an effective visual.

I felt maybe a little bit of a lapse in the middle, but probably not as much as you. I was invested by then, and was interested in what would happen.

Hid you like how they dropped us straight into the story without messing around?

What has aged badly is the little animation moment near the fire as the two werewolves had sex.

I think he strangled her? But she looked messed up later. Unless he ate her?

Did you like the bookshop owner?

Probably American Werewolf in London. Had some more humour, and some bloody weird dream sequences.

I liked the ending, but I saw it coming. But I'm glad it was like that, as I was hoping so.

Not only did he thrive, he won the Brownlow medal, which is a prestigious award given to the best player that years voted by the umpires.

The courage to do that is quite amazing, I can tell you. Players have had their faces caved in by knees, so to willingly jump back like that takes courage.

***********The Howling spoilers**************

I was very surprised! I never heard it talked about at all, yet it's brilliant. I kinda want to see how they did it really. Curious about it.

I liked how it dropped us in as well. Made me curious to what was happening. Shows how I have changed. I actually watched the start up to she walked into the porn shop before. However, it didn't hold my attention then. Maybe I was a dumb bastard that needed everything spelled out to me instantly? :)

I just liked his reactions to a few of the people walking in. Not in love with the guy, but he was memorable for some reason for me.

Why did the doctor take her there?

***********The Howling spoilers**********

Bridge of Spies and Black Mass were both 4/5

BoS had some very Spielbergian moments. Yu know, the sentimentality he brings to scenes a bit too much sometimes? The movie may bore you, with plenty of discussions. Truly just a forgettable Spielberg movie for me. Enjoyed it at the time, but hold no interest in revisiting it.

Black Mass didn't meet expectations, but it was still great. I heard about Cumberbatch's accent being bad, but it didn't bother me.......until later. He gives a speak, that really showed how weak it was. I also was kinda getting wick of Edgerton talking about loyalty and being born a Southie. Remember my worry the dinner scene would be the only great moment? I'm glad to say there was also some other scenes that Depp delivered a truly menacing performance.

I bought Cub today.

Man, you left a comment at a weird hour! :D

Just watched the Macheda vid. Man, that commentator sounded like he was going through puberty! :D I also watched a countdown of the top 10 failed wonderkids. Macheda was number four and Michael Johnson was number one. Make sense he would be?

Well, Bridge of Spies is solid, just not something worth revisiting. Like Lincoln it is. I also had to laugh that Spieldberg had the duck and cover video in his film that I watched not that long ago. I recognised it straight away, which was surprising to me.

What have you heard that's wrong about Black Mass?

Ah, like how I do when I can't sleep.

Bought Starry Eyes.

Yep, that Cub movie. Heard good things, so I'm glad I finally can see it.

Yeah, sorry about that. If Letterboxd was working on this iPad, I would be commenting all the time on your Letterboxd list. The next list you do next year will be different. And yep, I am willing to discuss the films more on a ranked list.

Bad news. I disliked Crimson Peak. It started at a 4/5, then drifted to a 3.5/5, held firm at 3/5, then dropped to 2.5/5. I will keep my mouth shut until you see it.

That's completely fair. The article deserves a decent read.

Oh, I see where they are filming literally down the road from my house soon. Down the road I type this now about 100m, then onto the back lane. Then, they are also filming 200m in the other direction. They paid to add a path to the house.

Have you seen Versus? It's quite fun, and maybe you consider it for your horror marathon next year. Blend of horror and samurai action. Just wish it was shorter by 30 minutes and that some of the characters were eliminated from the story.

What I didn't know was that she skipped grades. I knew she was smart, but didn't know that smart. Also didn't know she was teased. She doesn't talk about stuff like this. Also, obviously I didn't know about the toe. Very sad.

Well, it's probably Depp that kept me entertained. I tend to give generic gangster a pass more than other films, so it's ok with me. I understand the complaint, though.

Hmm, not sure. If Kate was involved, I would for sure. But with her not here, I doubt it. Love to meet Hugo Weaving. That guy is just a brilliant actor. Seeing him in Priscilla Queen of the Desert and The Matrix shows his versatility.

Kate will be acting in the Jasper Jones play next year as well in the role Toni Collette will play in the movie.

Probably a 3.5/5. I just WISH it was 90 minutes. So fun, for an obviously low budget. I can think of four characters that didn't need to be in there. Oh, and the ending is interesting, wasn't expecting it.

Yeah, about the same score I gave Jacob's Ladder. It's more psychological horror, isn't it?

I actually think Priscilla is very funny. Now I think about it, I think To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar is a complete ripoff of Priscilla. Even with the the weird title name. Except Priscilla is the way better film. I also didn't know it was Sam Jackson's fav film, that's interesting.

Maybe you shouldn't see Versus then. :)

Ok, I will watch Lady in White soon.

Ah, that's a shame it wasn't a print, that would've been cool. Nearly give it a grindhouse atmosphere.

Hopefully Glenn's death was painless and he was dead fast. But somehow I think it wasn't.

That's a brilliant question that I would like to give more thought to. But for now, the character that pops into my head Is Liz Hunter from Wolf Creek. The scene with the machete. Man, not only did that affect me because it's a memorable kill, but I really didn't want that to happen to her. I want to think about this more.


**********Spoilers for Crimson Peak*************

Well, what did I enjoy? I enjoyed the atmosphere, the design of the hous, the way the film looked, it was beautiful, and some of the performances wer fantastic. I had no idea that was Jessica Chastain!

I did like the knife under the eye part. That made me squirm a bit. :)

The bad. Well, what was with the script? Del Toro removed any mystery for me, by telling me too much! All the reveals were like- "yeah, and?". I mean, he could've removed entire conversations, and added a shade of mystery to the film. The brother and sister conversations about what they were doing shouldn't have been in the film at all.

Disliked the meta this isn't a ghost story part. He uses this to explain subtext that is not too hard to figure out. No faith in the audience.

Charlie Hunnum's role is a thankless one.

The ghosts were frightening to me, as I felt no threat by them at all. I got the sense they were just angry from the beginning, so I had no tension. I did like the red clay on their bones, but I also think they could've looked much better. I will say, the baby part was quite creepy, especially after the reveal later. That is about the only part I didn't see coming.

I wasn't even shocked by the incest. Seemed to me it had to be happening, or Del Tor's script wasn't inventive enough.

What you think?

**************Spoilers for Crimson Peak**********

Sorry I've been gone. I know it's ok with you, but I should say my basketball season has started, and I've been getting firewood. So, this boy has been a tired one. Muscles in my legs are really sore! :)

Man, have you heard of Alleluia? That movie was intense for me! Maybe you can add that to your horror list next year? I would give it a 4/5 . Also, I know it's a stretch, but Little Shop of Horrors (1986) is so much fun, consider that as well. Bill Murray has a cameo that I absolutely loved. I watched it about six times. It was the evolution of the joke from what Steve Martin's character likes to do, then to introduce Murray was a brilliant move. Excellent. 4.5/5 from me.

Oh, I need to go talk to you more on Letterboxd.

I was watching the filming of Jasper Jones. Man, the light they use is absolutely huge! It lit up the sky, even in directions it wasn't pointing. I just wish it was a better scene. The actors were down the back lane, and the stunt man would drive past.

Hugo Weaving has come and gone. I think they must've got everything prepared for him, then got all his scenes done fast.

I am not sure if you have seen Jeepers Creepers, but I felt sorry for a certain character in that movie as well. Oh, and Drag Me to Hell as well. Oh oh! The Descent! You have seen them, yeah?

************Spoilers for Crimson Peak**********

Didn't mind lack of mystery? This is a ghost film! :D Del Toro should NOT have all the devious plans out in the open like that! I know they are there, but let them sit in the shade for a bit so I can enjoy the ride. I was left numb to the whole film due to over explaining.

Nothing role is correct. I wondered why Hunnum would sign up for such a role, other than to keep involved with Del Toro. However, I wonder if he could've spiced it up a bit himself, but just didn't? I think some actors with nothing roles would do that.

I agree, creatures in his other films are better. Wonder if it's because the majority of them are made with practical effects?

The idea of the ghost with Chastain's child is one of the best/creepiest ideas in the film for me. I had a partial spark in my brain when that was revealed.

Because you love visuals, that's why a 3.5/5! :D

***********Spoilers for Crimson Peak**********

See Warcraft trailer? Looks good, but as usual, I feel a lack of a good script yet again from a video game movie. Hopefully I'm wrong!

I plan to watch both The Voices and The Final Girls in the next few days.

The town is loving it. They also are helping local businesses out. Hugo Weaving would go and have a coffee down the road from me every morning. Funny thing, my old feral teacher (really feral!! I mean....really feral!!...I mean you get the point) Mr Jones, actually has a son called Jasper Jones, who will be an extra in the film.

I was hoping Sandler's move to Netflix would help, but The Ridiculous Six looks bloody awful.

I will watch the Anomalisa trailer tonight. I don't care about sex scenes with strangers. If I did, Spring Breakers would've been very bad experience. :D

Well, my weekend of mental recovery of doing nothing resulted in me watching some good movies. Brute Force has been my favourite. Burt Lanaster is a surprisingly violent and intense prison film from 1947, and The Final Girls have been the highlights. I enjoy the satiral jokes of the film, and found some moments very funny. I just wish there was a little more violence. This IS supposed to be a gory 80's slasher flick. What did surprise me was Malin Akermann, delivering a performance that I will remember. Her relationship with her daughter is key to the film.

Also saw The Voices. The humour took a while for me to enjoy, then run it's course eventually. A bit one note for me. Still a 3.5/5, but it doesn't expand on the premise enough.

Well, happy birthday, despite being sick. I thought I was going to get a better week, but looks like I'm in for crazy brain this week as well.

Yes, that's tight. I felt very sorry for how he died.

Hunnum is good in Sons of Anarchy, but not on the level of a Michael Chiklis, Walton Goggins (memorable in three shows), Bryan Cranston, James Gandolfini or Ian McShane, who all stand out a lot more in shows I watched for a long time.

I have a need to see Pan's Labyrinth lately. I have only seen it once, and that was a long time ago.

I hear it's not as bad as they say, but, if you stumble into the wrong place, I think there could be big problems. Guys on YouTube were making up campfire like stories about the dark web that scare me a lot before I realised it was fake. I must admit, I even went and locked the door. :D

Art-house seems ok to me, I have no problem with you saying that. Wages of Fear is a must. Oh, are you watching these because you want something that is opposite to horror for a while?

Have you heard of Felidae? I assume not. Now, the plot is going to make you go whaaa! :D First of all, it's animation. It's also a movie about cats, and murder. A new cat to the neighbourhood investigates brutal deaths from a serial killer. This is a film noir.....with cats. What surprises me was how gruesome the deaths, and the imagery is. There are dream sequences that really surprised me. It's on YouTube if you ever want a weird, unique movie. I'd give it a 4/5. My main problem was the plot got a bit muddied at times, but I loved the ride overall. The quick runtime of 80 minutes was a delight as well. :)

Here we go. The comment won't be same as last time, not sure what I will say. Last comment lost form the ages.

Well, the work will be better next week, I won't feel like a shit pile at the end of every day.

Peaky Blinders is a very solid show so far, and so is Sons of Anarchy. It's just some seasons are about a 7/10, and others are 9/10. Some roes are so bloody intense, usually when Ron Perlman is involved. He brings his
A game to that show. Also, kinda hard not to hear Leela from Futurama when Peg Bundy talks. :D Walton Goggins has a very memorable character in the latter seasons.

Didn't get to Pans, maybe in the next few days. It's a 5/5 for me all day. Doesn't matter ifmwe spoke about it, we can again.

I finished Until Dawn in two days, now another game! Yet I have Witcher 3....MSG.......and others to finish, and I won't be able to help myself from buying. fallout 4. I need medical attention. :D Oh, and also Mad Max!

I have seen Synecdoche New York, but I need to see it again. I might appreciate it more next time. Cian is the one to talk about with that movie.

Glad you enjoyed French Connection, and the ending surprised me as well. Any plans to see the sequel? Not as good, but nowhere nearly as average as people say. Well, I think so! Also might answer questions to how close to edge he might be for you.

I think Into Badlands is another show about monkey spirit, like Monkey Magic that I used to love.

Glad you enjoyed Wages of Fear. Any plans to see Sorcerer now?

Same score I would give for bothe of those movies.

Well, I feel great today, thanks fo the concern. In comparison to the last two weeks, I have no complaints.

Damn, you finished Peaky Blinders fast!

Did you watch The Shield?

Yes, the decisions in Utnil Dawn carry a lot of weight at time, even some you think mght not. I screwed up, and lost one of my favourite characters because I didn't aim well. I am tempted to play it through and change decisions for next time. Although, I guessed one plot point a bit early. But I'd give it a 4/5..

I will have to play Metal Gear: Ground Zero first, so it seems quite daunting. :D

The chereoography actually looks good from the trailer for Into the Badlands. Speaking of martial arts, have you seen the Ip Man 3 teaser trailer? I am excited for it now. There is a few different clips, I recommend the trailer Moviclip Trailers has.

I haven't seen Sorcerer. I wanted to see Wages of Fear first, so I waited until it was available to me. Then, when I had seen it, Sorcerer was pulled from YouTube after being there for ages. No luck!

I have no access to Letterboxd at the momentum as the other iPad is elsewhere, but I will get to your list when it's possible later in the week.

Thanks for the recommendations. Damn, Yi Yi is so long! I have thought of of watching it a few times, but feel fidgety before I even begin. :)

I think I will see Faust soon. The horror imagery in that film caught my eye when used in Room 237. Possibly be recommending it for next October, as it's the same guy who made Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans.

See the benefits of being friends with me? You now know about a sequel you never heard of. :)

Thanks, Gav.

The benefit of getting to a show after it's finished a few seasons.

You will get hooked on The Shield. I name it with my other fav shows Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Deadwood and Soparanos. Pretty good company.

The main problem is on the second play-through, decisions at start carry less weight. Can't say much without spoiling.

Yes, the Ip Man movies are great. Especially the first. The second made more money, but had a bit of a dip in quality. I'm intrigued by Tyson, I just wish he wasn't in thumbnail, so it would've shocked you when all of a sudden Tyson is there! :D

Well, all of Faust is on YouTube, so you might not have to buy it on Blu Ray unless you want to watch it in the best quality possible. My mouth opened a bit at what I saw a few times. Impressive for an old movie to do that.

Well, they filmed down the road last night. Toni Collette was probably 300m away. They have also built new buildings for and added new signage. I hear a mosquito. It's gone. But I bet it tried thine blood in the night.

It's attacking my head! Even if I move it. It's on the wall. On the pillow. I need to try and swing back fast to get it. But my blow will have to be hard to kill it. Nevermind, it moved. It was on my bloody back, I missed. Very hard to get. Fly spray.

Not sure if I got him.

Oh, and Dragon Age stinger at the end had me thinking "whaaaaa?" :D Makes me want to buy another dlc, but it can wait until I play another game.

Ha, reading back on the mosquito part is quite funny. There was spaces of a couple minutes between things I was saying, but reading it, makes it sound like I the mosquito is darting all over the place. Oh, and I'm not sure if I got him, but I sprayed high all over, so the chance is high I did.

Yes, in the last few months I have seen The Friends of Eddie Coyle. Has that gritty 70's style I like, Mitchum is fantastic, but I got lost a few times over what was happening, but I still enjoyed it.

Oh, I only just see your new comment now, you saw it. Gave the same 4.5/5 score as me. Yes! The gunrunner was an interesting character, I enjoyed he wasn't just an idiot that you get sometimes.

What score did you give The Voices?

Well, the fighting is on par with films, and extremely violent! However, in the first ep there was only two fights, so it's a lot of the weak script to see. Looks like only six eps, so I might see it through.

Not much difference between our scores for The
Voices. I was expecting a 3/5.

Ok, no worries, I will keep you in the loop.

Ground Zeroes reall isn't a proper game, is it?

Witness to the Prosecution strong 4.5/5. Laughton chews the scenery brilliantly.

Sweet Smell of Success 3.5/5. Not sure why, but it didn't work like I thought, maybe another watch?

Charade 4.5/5. Surprising mix of genres for a film that old. One I could see again easily.

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp 5/5. Loved it, but I feel it won't get such high praise from you. I feel maybe a 4/5? Not sure why.

Have I ever suggested A Face in the Crowd, A Man Escaped, Elevator to the Gallows and Pickup on South Street? Those are 50's movie I think should consider.

No, I heard the first season was iffy, now I hear it's the best godamn tv show! Not sure what happened, but I'm intrigued. You considering seeing it?

Well, I can tell you, that Toni Collette is a bitch. A few people I know said hello to her, and she ignored them. She also was at the pub, and said: "this isn't usually my style." Very diva thing to say. Just so she can make everyone in her vicinity aware that she's better than you (in her mind). While Myles Pollard (local actor, and a few American movies) was just sitting at the bar, like he was just a local. Those are the people that win support. Also, Hugo Weaving, someone on Collette's level, but was a class act the whole time he was here.

I also think What We Do in the Shadows is very! I think it's even more very than you do. There was a lot of very when it was released, and I'm glad it lived up to the hype.

Hey, I had a weird though, and you are going to hear it. I was pondering: Is there horror movie porn? Do people draw Jason and Freddy in kinky situations? I am not game enough to look, so I won't know. However, knowing what people are like, there is bound to be a Jason/Freddy/Chucky (because Chucky is funnier) steamy ménage á trois for sure! :D If not, at least I put that image in your head! :D

I think Avengers 3 may be better in the Russo Bros hands than Whedon. They seem to make quality superhero films based on the Cap 3 trailer. However, they might notmget a chance if Marvel interferes again.

I agree with the step down. My ratings are 4.5/5 for first, and a light 3.5/5 for the second.

I think fast travel has something to do with the cardboard box. I didn't make complete sense of it.

I don't get why they need to have credits for every mission.

Oh, is that a mission? I took care of that before it was a mission. That's the second time. Kaz looked like an idiot, I was about to get off the helicopter to destroy equipment, when Ocelot called and told him it was already destroyed. Kaz was like: "what? Er....good job, Snake"

Just had a visitor from Muriel's Wedding at mum and dad's house while I was here. I know what you are thinking, but no, not Toni Collette. Susan Prior, who is also in Jasper Jones, got brought up to the house by a local. She is friends with Kate and Mark Priestley, and Dad was just sharing stories about Mark, seeing he isn't around anymore. Probably felt awkward, because it was unexpected for her. She was also in Animal Kingdom and The Rover. She took a photo and sent it to Kate. Susan said Kate amazes her. Just goes about her business without making a fuss she said.

Cardboard box, and some spot on the ground you have to stand. But you have to find it first before you can fast travel.

Completely agree with your assessment of Begin Again. Once is far superior, but Begin Again is a breezy movie that is enjoyable to watch. It was seeing the earphones scene for a minute that made me want to see it. I see the film was largely improvised, and I can see that's true by Knightley's reaction when her co-stars make fun of her being a pom.

I saw Spectre. It was enjoyable for a while, but that middle section had me wishing it would hurry up. The plot just stalls. I also had a problem with less than memorable characters. Batista's character was kinda not worth thinking about, the Bond girl loves Bond for no reason (in my opinion), and she is also forgettable. Eva Green is my Bond girl. I think I have a thing for her. I kinda like her mad eyes. :D Oh, major problem was it was too predictable. I had three moments in the movie that I thought: "no shit, Sherlock". Things I thought were common knowledge, were told 40 minutes later. I thought of Into the Darkness and how they tried to convince the audience thar Khan wasn't John Harrison beforehand like they did here. I'm thinking a 3/5 for Spectre. Was actually really bored at times.

Well, Raid in Belfast sold me! I knew the film, but that clinched it.

Bought Fallout 4. Couldn't help it. :)

Watching The Secret in their Eyes (original) tonight.

Well, I definitely liked the train fight, but I was kinda over the silent henchmen, especially when the only line he says landed like a thud for me. Did you guess most of the apparent plot twists?

About a 4.5/5 for Eyes. Looks very different to the remake. That version looks like a Hollywood version for sure. I don'tmknow how to articulate how I feel about it, though! Not what I expected, that's for sure. Themes were interesting, and I found it funnier than I expected.

Also saw Creed. That's a light 4.5/5 for me. Man, some fantastic boxing scenes. Much better than Southpaw!

Yes! I love that even an old movie like that tricked me with the twist. I didn't see it coming. What did you rate Witness for the Prosecution?

Yep, exactly right. That line is supposed to be funny, but I have seen it done too many times in other movies.

Watched Secret in Ther Eyes remake today. Changed many details, but it still kinda finishes the same. Remember the passion theme? Not letting go? Well, they actually repeat the same lines, but they felt empty coming out of these actors mouths. Just picture chocolate with a gooey centre promised. You bite into the chocolate, which is tastes just fine, but there is NO gooey centre?!! It's promised, so where is it?! That's how I felt about what the characters were saying. The film doesn't explore the themes anywhere near as well. 3/5.

Stallone is great as well! Hear the Oscar buzz he is getting? I doubt he will, but he is at least worth considering. Creed 2 (Rocky 8) seems a given, I even know what the film will be. I also have a good idea what part 3 (Rocky 9) will be as well. I have enjoyed Fruitvale Station and Creed, so I hope the director returns.

Do you thin Mad Max: Fury Road should be nominated for Best Picture? I think they should stop being so pretentious with their choices! It's clearly one of the best movies of the year. I also think Charlize Theron should be nominated for Furiosa.

Sorry for the delay. I had a rough few weeks. I have been sick and I lost someone as well. Tokyo Story was in my mind, yet, I think I can say I wasn't like those characters.

My analogy? Have I said the same thing before? Or was it someone else? It's been a while, you might not remember.

People who haven't seen it's have were surprised to hear Stallone was considered a chance for an Oscar because they think Stallone is just playing himself. But we have to remember, he's still making Expendables movies, yet, he's playing someone who has had a rough life here, and it's weighs heavy on him. I really wouldn't mind at all if he got nominated.

I had a look at the list after I saw your comment. I think, the extending of the best pic race was made for the Mad Max type films. It's not like it's just an action film. This movie was expertly crafted, and I believe Miller also deserves a best director nomination. However, I would say Inarittu will be winning that.

I will have to look up the sight and sound list again. I'll get back to you.

I have not seen the trailer for The Nice Guys. I think I will be avoiding it from what you said. Thanks for the heads up. I did watch the Central Intelligence trailer, and thought the same thing. I bet the main gags are in the trailer. You seen it?

Batman v Superman new trailer raised questions for me. Will Eisenberg be awful? Did they just destroy the city again? and I think they just showed us 95% if the movie. It came across very try hard to get attention. They haven't learnt from Star Wars to keep details secret.

Have you faced Quiet? that has been my favourite part of MGS so far. I could keep playing that mission. I had to re-do mission, because I killed her with my sniper rifle. Were you able to sneak up on her successfully? I nearly did.

It was my nana. She was my last grandparent. Thankfully, she passed in her sleep, just how she wanted it. She hadn't even moved when she went. That made me feel not too bad about it after the initial shock.

Speaking of Mad Max, it won this week at the AACTA awards for best Aussie film, and Miller won for best director.

I looked at the sight and sound list. The film that caught my eye was Hard to be a God. Strange plot! I also wonder how it got on the list when it's a 2013 movie. The image I saw of men sitting at a dirty table in black and white was striking.

Eisenberg to me seemed like two different characters, even in the trailer. He also gave off too much of a Riddler vibe for me.

You have to keep moving when you're sneaking, though. I sat still for a while, and she actually sneaks up on you, then drops a grande where you are laying. I was so close! I got within 50m of her on the first go. Second I shot her in the head, so that was no good. Third was where I spared her.

Well, I might have to watch Blackhat when it's available to me then. Thanks for that.

On the Film Junk podcast, they have new rating system. They get to hand out two 6/5 a year to films they really like. So, they have to be careful what movies they choose. Jay, gave out his second 6/5 last week for Hard to be a God. His first, was for Fury Road. Got me keen to see it.

I'm liking it so far, no complaints. I hope there is a fe more highlights to come, because Quiet mission really sticks out so far. I do like the new feature that allows me to play as other officers. I am trying to get rid of troublemakers by sending them on missions. :)

Rating for Krampus?

I watched Turbo Kid. 4/5 for me. Close to a 4.5/5. I would guess a 3.5/5 for you. Some points in the middle it lags, I felt the constrains of the budget hindered it a bit, but the extreme violence was silly fun for me. The music was ok, but I would've liked more variety in 80's synth music.

Sure will. Just downloaded ep 3 of The Leftovers. This is my last week of work for the year, so I will binge watch the first season.

Didn't know you were a fighting fan. To be honest, I know nothing about him.

Don't bother with Into the Badlands. The plot isn't interesting. I'm just finishing it so I know what happens.

I think I did the MGS mission you meant. The one where the Metal Gear is chasing you? Do you play as Snake the whole time? What do you do with trouble maker soldiers? I put them all in one unit then send them into a battle to get some of them killed, saving my better soldiers for later. :)

Well, ep 3 of The Leftovers took it to a new level for me. It's still not quite coming together yet. Some of the storytelling could've been honed a bit more.

Well, you kinda need a mouth in that sport, don't you? That's amazing that he was a plumber not that long ago.

I fell asleep during Into the Badlands. When I woke up at 12am, I deleted it without bothering finishing. That says something about the quality. Some of the characters are very annoying. Fargo is the best show I'm watching at the moment by quite a margin.

Done nothing with the soldiers?! The troublemakers have probably put a bunch of solidiers in the sick bay due to illness and fighting. Losing out on money, silly bastard. :) Are you also checking for highly skilled soldiers to extract?

I will try Letterboxd this weekend. I still can't access it on this iPad, but I have had a few things happening lately. Yu know a few reasons, but I also have a major thing happening to me that I will go into details later. That kinda has my attention when I'm nit working. But over the holiday, I will go on Letterboxd more, when I am not where there is no electricity.

Probably Lindelof wanting to keep the series tight after Lost had its major downs later on.

Abrams says he dislikes Into Darkness. I think I like it better than he does. :D I see faults in the script, but Cumberbatch is excellent.

Nope. Cross Into the Badlands off. Highlights haven't matched the first fight in the series yet. I think Mr Robot will be next for me.

I think I like some of the characters better in season of Fsrgo, but I think the story is much stronger in series 2. I have about four eps to catch up with. They are waiting on the Playstation SBS app for me.

It is the same thing. I have a meeting about it tomorrow. But I'm not announcing until it's done. I just don't want to jump the gun, because I have another thing possibly adding to this thing in the new year. :D Don't let your mind go wild, it's not mind-blowing. It's just a major decision I have at the moment that will hopefully benefit me later. An investment, I will say that. When I see a clear picture, I will tell you. I make it so secretive.

I'm on holidays now. I'm going to see my cousin perform in an improv act tomorrow, but on Saturday I think I will make an appearance on Letterboxd if the other ipad is available to me. I should go talk to Cian, Boonmee, and JC13 on there as well. Been ages.

I will make sure to tell you once I know 100% what's happening. I think it's getting hyped too much now. It can't live up to it.

Ha, I am quite perceptive most of the time. I see things people don't usually. For example. I knew two of my friends (girl and guy) would be getting together before they did. I told her, and she was kinda shocked. :D I think because I'm quiet, I see how people think, and I can predict how they are thinking. Not all the time, sometimes I wouldn't have a bloody clue, but it happens enough to make me think it's for that reason. :)

Oh, you haven't seen Black Narcissus? I think you're going to love that. Just stick with it. It's a slow burner film.

Well, watched Teagan's comedy show last night with her improv group. Funny, but a few members on the opposing team let them down. Do you know Luc Longley? The former NBA player? Well, his brother is a member, and he is 6'10. Rare I'm not tallest in the room. He and Teagan (with no bias) were clearly the best, and they were on the same team. Amone the things Teagan did was to mime out a porn, sing about why she won't fuck her best friends man, and had to answer this question: why sex with me is like cornflakes. I could see her mind ticking over, but she really didn't want to say the answer with us in the crowd. Her response to the question sex with me is like cornflakes because? "I'm easier to eat when wet"!! Damn! She squirmed and turned her back, and jumped around a bit after that. The crowd erupted.

Man, I wish you got to see it without knowing what it was. That would've been fun. I think it was when I watched Home Alone, I thought the idea of an older Kevin, disturbed as an adult, having to once again face the wet bandits. I thought it could've been a violent version, with worse pranks, and really playingnup these two are old men now. I can see it in my head.

Kinda. I still have some paperwork coming I need to sign. Just not quite official. I think I will tell you when first part is done. So you don't have to wait and see about the second part. Do you have an idea in mind what it is. I'm curious. :)

Did you see the new Star Trek trailer? I'm not excited for it. Hopefully it's just a bad trailer, but it feels off. Sabotage is not a good choice of song and puns that have been said in many movies. Seems too slick, and I wonder if my worry about Justin Lin will be correct.

I commented on Letterboxd if you see this first.

In a few more days, I will tell you. Bank just rang me up that fixed a hitch that cuts my fees in half. She spent the weekend thinking about it, I appreciated that a lot. I was worried about one suggestion she made, but she has done well. I know this sounds like gibberish at the moment. :D

I am thinking December 2 for Star Wars? I'm avoiding the school children and nerd rush. Man, I see you saw it twice! That must say something of the quality. Is it close to a 4.5/5?

Do you know Henry Rollins is into cobras? I mean, REALLY into cobras. A director went to meet him at his house for a project, and there was rooms he couldn't enter because it was full of cobras. He even opened a draw, and found cobras in there. Sounds made up, but it bloody happened! :D The director said to him he had to get rid of them because what if a earthquake happened and they all got loose. Rollins hadn't even thought of this! Hmm, bad idea to have so many loose cobras? I don't blame him for not thinking of that!

Want some snake dick facts? I'm sorry, was that a mistake? Nah, I meant snake dick facts. Male snakes have two penises that comes out like tripod. They only uses one penis at a time, and only use one at a time. They also have a preferred dick, like we have a favored hand. Some are left dick, some are right. Also, each penis only receives sperm from it's corresponding testicle, which allows males to mate again if they come across another female in a short period of time. Bit of spare dick. Envious, Gavin? :)

Hmm, I wonder if I can guess the six of seven you know. Well, Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan surely. Shaq, everybody knows him, Kobe must be another. Lebron is everywhere, so that's another. Charles Barkley must have a chance, maybe Tm Duncan? I'll throw in Steph Curry, as they broke a record of consecutive wins to start a season. Was I close? :)

That last line leaves a bad taste in my mouth, do you agree? "Let's never do that again", that is just so shit. I also wonder if they are trying to ride thenGuardians of the Galaxy wave by making the movie seem more like that, but failing big time.

Ha, I wish! You are kinda on the right track, but not. :D I just don't want to answer in case something goes wrong, then I have to backtrack with my tails between my legs.

Must've been! Because after the director said that, Rollins got rid of all the snakes from his house. What about draw snakes, huh? That's just loopy!

Also, for some weird bloody reason. The lady snakes can carry the sperm in them for over a godamn year. Bloody hoarder. Those little fellas must be so frustrated! :D

Well, I think Tim Duncan is underrated. Won five championships, but Kobe is always mentioned more than him. Kobe is one of the most selfish players of all time. His team is at the bottom because of him. Know how much he's on 25 million! Not much compared to some football players I guess, but still. Then you have Tim Duncan, also in the twilight of his career, nearly 40, yet still a force. He is on less than 10 million, so they can pay other quality players to join. That's the bloody man right there. Team is second in western conference. I should've guessed Iverson and Rodman, the troublemakers of the league. Shaquille and Charles Barkely cover games now, and are a hilarious combo. They laugh about the huge fit they had when they were playing. Charles Barkely is only my height, but he was able to drag Shaquille to the ground. That's a bloody powerful man right there.

I can tell you it's not a business, but will be a source of income at some point.

See? I know how you bloody think about movies.....most of the time. :)

Never seen Arthur Christmas. I will have to consider it now. Thanks for the info.

Do you put highly skilled soldiers in vehicles so you save a bit of cash when extracting? I even got up on a hill, and threw a soldier in the back of a truck, then extracted him. I was kinda hoping he would fall out halfway up. :D I'm glad I restarted the Quiet mission after I shot her in the head the first time. Her as a buddy is fun.

Ha, I know what that's like!

During popularity of E.T, Atari made four million copies of the game version. The problem? Any time he fell in the pit, the game would glitch so it wouldn't start again, thus stuck in it forever. Also, secret agent men would continually re abduct him once he was levitating It was a design flaw due to the rush Atari made to put it out. Now, imagine a time without Internet and walkthroughs. Can you IMAGINE the torment and anguish!! no matter how hard these kids try, ET is stuck. I got made at T2 for being so hard, I would lose my mind with that! Speaking of T2. I gave super nintendo to my cousins. I put in T2 a few years ago, and it's still one of the hardest games I have played!

Oh, back to E.T, not done. Not done by a long margin! Angry mothers would take the games back for a refund, then the stores would send all the cartridges (in the millions) back to Atari. This caused a major problem immediately. Even back then, they were selling it for $49! But now, could be found in $1 bargain bins. Atari pulled the plug on it, and the losses were nearly 100 million dollars. I did not stutter.

Now, the big question. What to do with 4 million cartridges? It started as a myth, that Atari was so ashamed of the game, that they buried the cartridges in the New Mexico desert and covered it in a slab of concrete. As the years went on, people wanted to know if it was true. Believers wanted proof, and skeptics wanted it put to bed. Even the creator of the game was brought in to see if it was true by a documentary crew in 2014. They digger for ages finding nothing, until finally, they found a newspaper from 1983. They kept digging and found, for some insane reason, that Atari buried millions of copies in the desert. The E.T game still in it's original box sells for $1500, and some are sold with dirt from the dig site.

Yeah, I know my stuff. :) How about Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar or Wilt Chamberlain? They ring any bells? Ding a ling?

Yeah, I felt sorry for you how worried you you about The Guest. I wouldn't even joke about giving it a bad rating. :)

She can scout and ahead of you and you can tell her to shoot the soldiers. They then focus on her, and you can just slide it without detection.

When the night vision get better, you can just see the enemies anyway. But I do love the dog having a knife. Like him being a wolf wasn't enough. :D

Yes, I can read into statements accidentally, so I have to ne carful what I read. I can put two and two together quite easily when it comes to movies. My brain has seen enough to be skilled enough to do so.

Dn't ever bother with Black Widow 2.5/5. Roger Ebert review was spot on about it.

Not surprised by the 5 for Llewyn Davis, but Inside Out slitghly surprised me. I'm sure I will also like Davis as much as you, due to me liking Coen films much more on repeat viewings.

Well, I could follow what he was saying to a certain extent, but the story is told in such a rambled way that I'm not sure I enjoyed it. It's the kinda film that could be either 1/5 or 4/5! :D

Been walking on the beach to my happy dorky music. :D Playing The Bees (if I was to dance, it would be to Chicken Payback :D) End of Fashion, The Fleetwoods, Elton John, Womack & Womack, Crowded House, Cliff Richard, Dave Dobbyn, Sleigh Bells, Kelis, Sia, Hot Chip, Gary Clark Jnr, Bat for Lashes, Eddie Murphy and many more. There is a time and place for heavy music, but the beach is the place for some cheesy songs. Not all of them are, but most of them. I wasn't feeling as happy/dorky when I realized I was burnt because my bloody sunscreen was awful. Still got a red neck. Not a redneck though! A red.........neck. :)

I might even have a 2015 ranked list. I will look later. If so, I will just update that.

I'm back early! :)

Well, the beach is for that type of music. Grungy de erasing music doesn't really set the scene. :)

Have you made your list? I will comment later if you see this before I do.

My list feels incomplete because of all the festival movies I don't get to see for ages like The Assassin, Tangerine, Anomolisa and yada yada.

Do you know the bull ant? It's an Aussie ant. It's in the Guiness book of records for having the worst bite of an ant. Well, one of them got me today! O forgot how much it hurts! Bracken fixes it instantly, but there was none to be found, so I had to make do with ice. Google the vicious bastard. They are also very hard to kill. One that walked onto a basketball court was squished by me before it got me. It took me dropping the basketball on it about seven times before it was dead! I nearly stepped on a nest a few years ago. Imagine how much that would hurt.

I am going to count them as 2016 I think? Not my fault they didn't release them here.

Yes! They can be half squashed, and they still want to sting you.

Got or will have a hangover? :D

Have you seen Hannibal? I'm going to binge watch it. Visually such a striking show, can't believe it's NBC. Hopefully it got wrapped up well.

Up to ep 5 of The Leftovers. this is the ep where the world building in previous eps starts to fall into place for me. Doesn't feel as jumbled as it did before. Season 1 is actually darting to get better than I thought it would be.

I thought Into the Badlands was just going to finish after six eps, but no, it has a second season. I'm one fella who will NOT be back.

I will look at your list today if you put it up.

There is a mission with kids in MGS that I think will drive you up the wall. :D A hint, keep telling them to wait a lot, because they are impatient bastards!!

******Star Wars: The Force Awakens spoilers*********

First of all, Han Solo death. Kinda telegraphed for this movie brain. The wide shots, the set piece, the position of characters= Han dead. However, this wasn't my major problem. This is one of the most famous characters in the history of cinema, and everybody moves on that quick? It just felt a bit empty to me. But I do love that it establishes Kylo Ren as a villain that's progressively going to mature and get stronger.

Daisy Ridley was the best for me. All her emotions were felt by me, and she delivered them convincingly. My one problem was she was bloody picking up how to use the force fast! Hopefully, they establish that she's extremely powerful in the next film to justify this. Man, she reminds me of Keira Knighley. How she smiles etc.

A little bit more sympathy for whole planets being demolished?

Why did they cast The Raid guys for those roles?!!! I wonder if it was just to appeal to certain markets when the movie comes out? Just annoys me that they have these talented guys, yet they didn't utilize them. Unless they were stormtroopers. Any idea?

I nearly wish I did watch this with Star Wars fans. I think the energy would've been fun. Maybe I'm wrong also. :D

How you feel about Kylo Ren showing his face? And I bloody KNEW he would get a face scar! I'm trying not to think ahead to the other films, but if they conitnue on this trend of copying the films, I can nearly guss what a twist will be.

Them saying Han Solo was his dad straight away was from the backlash of Khan. Yet, I think he got it wrong again. It was delivered like a thud for me.

Not sure what to think of that giant hologram fella.

Captain Phasma needed to be used more. Probably saving for next film, but it wasn't enough.

Who the hell was Max Von Sydow playing?

Oh, but did I love some of the action. The Falcon fight with Finn and Rey was a lot of fun.

One of the most creative elements of the film was Finn's origin. That's new ground that I appreciated. A stormtrooper growing a conscious really appealed to me, and I hope they flesh it out even more. Him standing and fighting Ren was a pretty awesome moment

I'm curious how Finn and Poe will evolve. Do they have some secrets yet? I also hope these movies don't just become M Night stories that all need a twist that hinders good story.

I laughed when i saw Admiral Ackbar was still alive.

Leia has to use the force at some point, don't you think? Confronting Kylo perhaps?

I was planning on having Snake go the whole game with him smelling, but it affects morale, so I stopped. :)

*******Spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens*****

I wonder if the backlash for this film is coming? The fanboys might turn on the film eventually, especially if one of the spinoff movies is better.

Maybe any dialogue about Han would be too cheesy? I'm in two minds about it. Would've been good if Chewie had some way of remembering him at the end there when Rey got in Han's seat. Seemed like he was over it already.

BB8 is defiantly the best. Him being more mobile is a good idea as well.

I missed that Kylo moment. The way you talked about Kylo has improved the character for me.

Von Sydow is the old man at the start with the map

Yep, the trap guy. :)

******Spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens****

Yes, I think so. This was a kinda a reboot of the franchise, so they needed to win fans back. But if they conitnue, then it's just pandering to the audience.

There should've had some item that Han and Chewie (Maybe also Rey) had some witty dialogue about earlier in the film. Then, when they are leaving, they could've reintroduced the item (weapon, some object), so that they had a moment as they were leaving. Still could've been happy, while acknowledging the moment.

I already like Kylo, but I think you definitely have improved him.

What is your opinion on the creature designs? Were they too reliant on cg character? Was the mix of practical and created appropriate?

Do you think Snoke is actually that big? oh,cand I'm notmsure about the name Snoke either!

************Spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Saw Daddy's Home. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Just harmless. Some jokes landed with a thud, but there was some fun to be had. Some parts serious critics will be angry at with the advice to the children, but I let it pass. 3/5.

Zootopia sloth trailer played before the movie. Have you seen this trailer? If not, I suggest avoiding it. There is a HILARIOUS scene they play in it's entirety! I was laughing so much. However, I hope it doesn't mean it's the the best part, or only funny part in the movie. I'll be keeping my eyes on this one now, though. Brilliant idea, executed perfect.

Well, I can officially announce part of what I have been holding back. Today, I officially own a house.settlement went through, and I have picked my keys up from the real estate. :) When I say I own a house, I mean I owe nothing to nobody! It's mine, I paid in full. This is because of my hard saving from my bloody awful job. Now, I own a house, and nobody can chase me for money. I feel proud of this. Now, I have more ideas, and a few avenues I'm still considering. Once again, I won't go into it. But at least you know some details now. :D

I thought I would just slip that info ^ in amongst the rest so it didn't look major until you started reading it. :D Anyway! No, I haven't seen Trespass. I now really want to if you think it's hilarious. I assume because of Cage? His silly glasses? Hopefully it comes on tv soon.

Did you think it was a bit of lazy storytelling how Poe disappeared?

I think the food guy was Simon Pegg.

I think worm thing was total waste of time, I agree. I also heard Abrams didn't have any plans for the Raid guys, he just wanted to work with them. I find that kinda weird.

Love the pun! Silly bastard.

I re-watched trailer. What was most memorable this time was Rey's intense face as she sprinted from explosion. That acting really wins you over to her. P

I heard a new thing about Chewie just walking past Leia at the end after Han's death. I think they missed a chance there for sure! How much better would it have been to see Chewie and Leia hug instead of her and Ray?

***********Star Wars: The Force Awakens spoilers****

Damn! I tried to save you from it.

First job Gavin, is re-stumping. It's quite uneven. :D But whatever I do to it, adds value to the house later. What I need to do is find the cheapest ways of adding most value to the house. I think I can fix up kitchen and bathroom cheaply, while adding a lot more value. The toile needs fixing as well. The gross fuckers left all the toilet rolls in there.

Hope I find Trespass to see!

As the cg was hit and miss for you, so is Ron Howard for me. Cinderella Man would be my favourite, then Apollo 13, Frost/Nixon and Rush.

Thanks for the review of The Town that Dreaded Sundown. I may just not watch that now. I may watch The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears instead.

First thing I did was to turn the toilet off so I wasn't billed for using it. It's a bad toilet, water runs a tiny bit even when not using it. But I will see to a new one, that's for sure. I also plan on adding a wall to add another part to the house. I was talking to insurance guy, and he was shocked by the price I paid for house and land. :D He asked if there was more for sale for himself. People have also helped themselves to the bins, so I have to get some new ones. When I visited the place a few months ago,, the next door neighbour asked if I was "going for a scab?" Is that Aussie slang? Anyway, it means go to take stuff, pick through the leftovers. So, I assume a few did that. He might be the one with my bins!

Watched Torque. I heard it was better than I thought, but I can report, it really is as bad as they say. The parody elements directed to F & F was miniscule. Oh, and the music! Talk about dated already! I'd give it 1/2/5. Much worse than his follow up Detention.

Shootout was amazing. Some of best stuff is coming from tv now, isn't it?

Major problems with bushfires over here. First in Victoria, now in WA. Not far from me, a whole town was burnt to the ground. There is fires in many places, threatening many people.

My cousin climbed under the house, and found an old bike from decades ago under there! :D Also found a huge stump he would like to use for a table top.

Seems to be getting worse for fires. With all complaints about controlled burns, and rising temperatures, it's getting worse for sure. Lightning is the main bastard. That starts so many fires!

Kate's in Jasper Jones in Sydney. She's actually I'm it as well. I watched her adaptation last year when she wasn't in it. She's getting good reviews for it so far.

Old movies rarely make me laugh. Only one that really comes to mind is Arsenic and Old Lace. Now, To Be or Not to Be could be considered. Like Arsenic and Old Lace, it blends genres together to make an interesting movie. Not only does it work as a comedy, it also works as a war movie and a thriller.

Oh, haha. Didn't know you weren't aware of that list. Yeah, have a look. I have access to about 20 of them. The others are bloody hard to find.

Well, I just watched a movie that surprised me. have you seen The Weather Man? Man, I was laughing so much. Seeing it's a Nic Cage black comedy, I'm also surprised it took me so long to see it! Not only is it funny, but it's about not wasting your time and accepting who you are. This is a 4.5/5 for me. If I had to guess, it's a 3.5/5 for you.

It came close to another town, but it missed. 2500 people evacuated. Also, sad news, two men (77 and 73) were found dead in the remains of the town.

Oh yes, The Red Circle has eluded me for a long time. All Melville films have! I think I would love all of them! Pather Pachali can't be found, but I have access to Sorcerer and Ivan's Childhood. Those will be next from list of shame.

Some really funny Cage line deliveries.

Another great movie for me is The Duke of Burgundy. 5/5 for me. Love how it cam be interpreted in two ways (that I can see). I won't say anything in case you want to see it. But I will say that the initial idea wasn't interesting me, then they fleshed it out in an interesting way for me. The other way to interpret story is in the style of storytelling, but I will keep that secret.

He had a kick from the very corner of the field. When they kick it in? It bent right round and went in the net.

Work tomorrow. :/

Finished Leftovers season 1, go to see second season, they bloody took it off. Bloody typical!

Sorcerer is on YouTube again if you want to see it.

Light 5 for The Duke of Burgundy. There was a bit in the middle that was slowing the film down for me. There's some imagery and subtext that I have been trying to answer in my head as well.

Oh, I didn't know it was common to do so. First time I have seen one. Do you play?

Yeah, first season was good enough to keep me interested. Still don't bloody know what's happening enough, but I will roll with it.

I actually only heard about the guy after I heard the movie. This will be a perfect movie for me. I just hope Scorecese can still keep making movies for many more years.

I will also mention Victoria. Have you heard of it? They actually shot a whole movie in one take. They apparently didn't make it easy for themselves either. Heard it's more than just a stunt movie and that it's pretty good. I want to see it. Some couldn't believe they accomplished this.

Just keep in mind that The Duke of Bergundy isn't a mindbender like Muholland Drive. At it's heart, it is a more simple idea, just with interesting characters.

Yeah, it would've been very hard to anticipate. I think it got in the top corner. Oh, did you hear a umpire flopped?! A ball got kicked at him, slightly hit him, and he toppled over. He go a player sent off! I think it was the Spanish league.

They sy they don't make it easy for themselves in Victoria as well.

Did you watch all of Footloose? :)

I just watched the vid of the ref now. Bloody awful. He fell down three seconds after the ball hit him. It was also not that bad, just clipped him a bit. Also saw one ref in a minor league pulled out a gun on the field. He also works as a cop in Brazil. Does not surprise me about Brazil, he's probably corrupt as well, although I hear their cops are getting a bit better.

I have seen The Keep, but have no memory of it. I think I kinda hated it. :D

Yeah, no worries. They show all the reveals of plans and stuff like that. I stopped it so I may forget before it comes out.

Yeah, that shocked me. Too young. That's a unique guy right there. Kesha types come and go, but you can't replace Bowie. He's actually on the radio right now. It's that Sorrow song.

Do you put a lock on your favourite soldiers? I think this stops them being dismissed, or taken by raids. Oh, speaking of base raids, make sure you don't die, you don't get a second chance. When you return, they have taken some of your soldiers off your base.

Labyrinth I have see. Well worth checking out for Bowie Bulge. Magnificent. :D I actually was watching The Man Who Fell to Earth. Haven't finished it, but I'm intrigued to how the story finishes.

Hateful Eight like a play? I have grown accustom to them watching Teagan and Kate, so I might be into more than others. Plus it's Tarantino! I heard some criticisms from people because of the lack of tension.

How about A Most Violent Year? I loved that movie. Such a throwback to older movies. Set in the 80's, but really has an 70's aesthetic to the whole movie. I really dogged it. I even forgot a few times it was a new movie.

Sure, I'm up for discussing The Revenant. Currently stuck in automatic recliner because the electricity in the town went off. :D I will safe this message to send to you later.

Sure, we can discuss Creed as well. Can you go first? I'm a bit busy right now.

As the games progresses, the quality of the soldiers improves, so you will eventually find the type you want if you keep your eyes peeled. Sometimes I just raid a guard post just for the highly skilled soldier. Oh, and you can replay the base raid mission. You just lose a few soldiers if you die. Hey, do you extract the targets to be killed? Some of them are highly skilled soldiers.


That's similar to what happened too. He did get his throat ripped at like that. Bloody man is a crazy bastard.

the lighting allowed me to forget it was a movie at times.

He's a villain, but I have to question if I would nearly do the same thing as he did. Well, I wouldn't kill the son, but he never existed anyway.

I think him getting killed by Native Americans was for the people who wouldn't like that he walked away in real life. So, they showed both. I understand your issues, I really do, but this movie is the type that I can overlook it's issues, similar with The Dark Knight, as the rest of the package is amazing to me.
