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!

The Indiana Jones movies are fun, especially the first one. Well, that's my opinion anyway. :)
What's your favourite Three Colours film? Mine is Blue, but I haven't seen White.
Glad you liked Red. Blue really hit home for me, such a great movie.
I'll tell you in case you're interested. Connerwood1998 has a profile where daily questions are asked and numerous users leave responses. Maybe you would like to leave a question yourself, up to you.

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.

You've seen The Room! Please tell me what you thought.

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! Oh man, anytime someone's playing football, priceless! The WORST sex scenes ever!
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).

I actually really liked it, it's around the 500 mark on my list. I didn't find it cold. It's been awhile, but i do remember the ending vividly. What also sticks in my head is the long take of Sands talking to the priest.
I might be an idiot, I just can't place who you have as your profile pic.
I laugh so much at Vampire's Kiss. It totally fits my sense of humour. No other actor could of pulled that off.

Funny is funny to me, ridiculous or not. I actually think Cage knew what he was doing. There's a method in the madness. The whole movie is on YouTube if you wish to see it. Sleepaway Camp is on YouTube as well, that's good for a laugh. Also The Story of Ricky.
I misread how you wrote 'ridiculously funny'. I thought you said funny, but ridiculous, a bit of difference. :). Please excuse me, I just got off work, my brain is tired. ;)
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.
*probably.
You Irish and your words. ;) Do you also call them baps? Oh, another one, pants are underwear! Why? When we were at work and had a lunch break, we debated all this stuff for a solid twenty minutes without pause. :)

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.
Have all the comments on people's pages changed order, or is it just me?

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.
It's annoying, to find new comments when they are all jumbled, i've got to find that weirdo brownpillow on my page.

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.

Also look up taylor swift, queen, the cranberries, Adele, Alicia keys, Miley Cyrus, and Bon Jovi goat versions.
Also Justin Bieber, Whitney Houston and Outkast goat versions. You may also like the bad lip reading vids.
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 just read your comment again. What is meant by the question "would you like some craic"?

Do you know what bogans, lamingtons and thongs are?
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.
Did you ever see The Wild Thornberries? Well you should watch Nigel's going to the store on YouTube. You won't be disappointed!!! :)

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.
Oh, and Kiwis call your flip-flops, jandals. :)
Check out best of old spice ads 2011-2012. Also check out Bo Burnham's YouTube channel, he has some great vids. I like his comedy rap song words, words, words.

You've got an interesting top 10! Several I love (Seven Samurai, Apocalypse Now, Godfather Pt. II), two I absolutely hate (There Will Be Blood, 2001: A Space Odyssey). 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 just looked and you haven't seen Dredd. You must see this movie, especially if you liked The Raid. You may not like it as much as The Raid, but I'll stick my head in a bucket of piss if you don't give it a pass mark.
You don't have to get personal, because you know, this is the internet, but how far are you from Cork?
I just ask because I might be going to Cork at the end of the year to see Dustyfucker. Is it nice there? I forgot to say that tim tams have this awesome chocolate cream on the inside, and every flavour you can think of. How is flavour spelt in Ireland. With, or without the u?
I noticed you watched Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans. I love this film. A real shock to me how much I liked it. Thanks to Kate668, I saw Taylor Swift Deadfall edition and Peter and Gwen and lip reading. Both are worth watching.

They're both very unique, stunning movies, hope you like them when you get round to watching 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.
I just looked at your list of shame and saw that you haven't ranked The Treasure of Sierre Madre. I must recommend it to you. It's one of my favourite older films with one of Bogart's best performance that should of got him an oscar. 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. :)
I have to ask, have you seen the Star Wars trilogy, or are you waiting to see them again before you rank them?
VHS! Yes, I think it's time to upgrade. Although, I have recently seen some cool collections of VHS tapes of many movies I've never heard of. It makes me think, how many movies are lost from the switches to discs, and how many will be lost in the future.

I figured the reply sent you some kind of notification or put it on your comment wall as well or something. It doesn't really seem to make any sense to me. I don't really know what the SOP on here is...If you give me your e-mail, I'll send you the lists. They're a bit massive as I've got a long summer ahead of me, but it's intended to take a long, long time to get through.
Ah, I'd be interested to hear your take on Repulsion as well...
Only four of the eight parts work for the same reason as the other one. It's weird, why aren't all of them down if it's copyrighted?
It's fine, you did your best, thanks for the recommendation.
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!

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.

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's a thinker gaveecho. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it. I think it's a movie you should watch a few times to be able to fully appreciate it. I still enjoyed it though. It's about an 8/10 for me, for now. It's another movie I found on YouTube.
Glad you liked The Descent, I think it's awesome!
Any plans to watch the sequel? I've read and heard mixed reviews.
I have interest in seeing it, but it doesn't take high priority for me.
I think that's the problem with movie stores, or places like K Mart now. No variety with movies! I go into these stores and it's always the same!

I love that line too! Haha :D Glad you enjoyed the film, I watched it a couple of years ago, didn't know what to expect and was really entertained. Crazy Cage is the best!I loved Skyfall, it was just stunning. One of those movie watching experiences where you forget where you are and get totally immersed in the story. It's such a beautiful looking movie too. And it's funny! 'Welcome to Scotland' made me properly laugh out loud :D Casino Royale was my favourite Daniel Craig Bond movie, but I think Skyfall has topped it now :)

Oh, I forgot to say what I thought about Father Ted! I love it! That episode with the boring priest had me in tears.

Father Ted is awesome :D
All of the Paradise Lost docs are also on YouTube. Just a warning, some footage shown is not for the faint hearted.
No, I haven't heard of Love/Hate before! I think I need to watch this show. It looks like it suits me. :)
Love/Hate at JB-Hi-FI for $33.
Only thing about the Paradise Lost docs is that they're very long.
If you haven't seen the trailer for Moon, don't watch it! It gives too much away. The less you know going into it, the better. :)

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?
Is Eden Lake worth checking out? I'm a big fan of Fassbender and don't know anything about it except that it's horror and I'll have to watch it without my wife, hahaha!

I just finished The Master. I thought it was really good. Would you agree that Freddie is the master?
The Descent 2 is bright! How ridiculous, the bastards......... Just like you. That first processing scene was intense! It was getting to the point where it was hard for me to watch, really amazing.
I really enjoyed it! Have you read the books? I haven't, so when anything new appears (spoilers for other people..... giants!!) I'm shocked. The thing I'm wishing to see the most is Joffrey to get a sword through the mouth. :D
My brother-in-law read the books. He told me that they are extremely graphic in detail.Awwh, what about that nipple scene! Now that's a bastard! Have you seen that weird guy on YouTube who cut his own friggin nipples off!
I saw the highlights for Tosh.O and they showed that. He cuts both his nipples off, and blood is running down his chest! Weird, very weird!

Have you seen Wolf Creek?
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!
Oh, it's funny, all the backpackers in Australia are afraid of the outback because of Wolf Creek. :D

When I say it's based on real serial killers, I mean loosely based. Ivan Milat is the main influence was Ivan Milat. Google that bastard!I can't remember, have I ever recommended Snowtown?What did you think of Crumb?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. :)
Oh, in Senna, I found the relationship between Senna and Prost really interesting. Both willing to do anything to win, it's like a drama unfolding in front of you.
I don't need to tell you what's disturbing in Snowtown either. ;) John Bunting, another bastard! It's unbelievable that it's a true story.

How many of these Aussie slang words and sayings have you heard before?BarbieCompoBlueyBuckley's ChanceAs mean as cat's pissChuck a sickieCrow eaterTrackiesTinnyFigjamCrack a fat
I was listening to the Tofop podcast. They were talking about eating a chip butty in Ireland. I had never heard of this until now, is it very common? I've had a chip sandwich before, but I've never heard it called a chip butty.
This is what the slang means.Compo: Workers compensation payBluey: 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! :DFranger: condom. :D

Tanked in Australia is when someone is shit-faced, it might be the same in Ireland.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. ;)
Yes! Good guess about the guiness. Except, I actually meant a drunk Leprachaun, they're real you know! ;) Shoot, I was positive it was someone claiming a banjo. ;)

I thought that would be the case. I've never heard my Irish friends say top of the morning, either. Do you know much of your language? They would speak it sometimes in front of me at work because I didn't want to know what the time was. I also find it amazing with your accents. The guy that worked with me grew up with my friend, yet the accents were distinctly different.

I liked Jack Reacher more than I thought I would. My expectations were pretty low, but I was entertained for most of the time.
That's my thoughts on Jack Reacher. I really want to see Evil Dead! But it's going to DVD here.Yep, it's The Mighty Boosh guys! Kate got me watching the show, now I'm hooked! I bought a Noel Fielding and Mighty Boosh live DVDs
Do you usually like horror movies?
The Mighty Boosh is all on YouTube if you want to see it. I'm really glad Kate told me about it. If a horror movie is done well, I reallly enjoy them. I can also enjoy a ridiculous horror if it gives me a laugh. I plan on watching Manborg and Monster Brawl in the next month. :D
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll keep it in mind when I want to see a horror.No, I don't watch darts. But if you have something to say....... You better say it now! (Once reference :D) But seriously, do you want to mention something?
My sports that I watch are mainly basketball and Aussie Rules Football.
More for show really. :) I'm quite terrible at darts, but it's there if someone wants a go.Nope, not getting out of bed for darts. :D I can't sleep lately as it is, so I'm not going to make it worse by watching darts.The people that play soccer call it football, but everyone else calls it soccer. AFL is our football, and I don't ever see that changing.Did you pick up the rules easily when watching AFL?Did you watch any of the Ireland vs Australia matches?
Yep, sounds like it. You might want to watch the last quarter of last years Grand Final as a refresher. It's on YouTube if you're interested. It was between the Sydney Swans and Hawthorn Hawks.
Yeah, Vampire's Kiss is a must! Even if you don't like it, you have to see Cage at his craziest. It's personally one of my favourite comedies of all time. I'm in tears watching it. I like weird humour, I know some things aren't for everyone, but I have to recommend it anyway. That last quarter was really great! I won't tell you who won, just in case you do end up watching it.

Thanks for that.It's been a while, but i think they're at the school and their walking towards the camera, which is positioned above on a balcony. He spits badly, he tries to avoid it, and it lands on his clothes, he then continues like it didn't happen. :)
I answered the last comment really early, and it's still early! I just realized I had a nightmare. I haven't had one in years! :D It was like I was acting in a movie, but had no knowledge that It was a movie. The nightmare part was I was on a bed talking to some guy standing up with his back to me. I was blabbing on and said "I guess that's what happens" he then turned to me and put a shotgun to my face and said "yeah". 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. :)
Thanks for realizing I'm not a Psychopath who dreams of murder all the time. :D

What did you think of Fire in the Sky?
I'm slowly working my way through my buddies recommending them Vampire's Kiss. You, Kate and Randy have all watched it.......and liked it, to a certain degree. 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.
*plothole hahahaha! Damn, Mama made me really think about that huge pothole! :D No wonder it didn't sit well with me! :D maybe they should dump the plot holes in the pothole, hmmm? ;)

******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. :)
*********spoilers for Iron Man 3*******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?

Such a douche! :D I was actually going to write that in my comment! I think we must of synched our brains watching this movie. :D It didn't need to be so obvious, we get it! The affect on the kid only had to be subtle, not bashed over our head! Such an annoying character!
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!
Oh, I love Gremblins. :)
Manborg was fucking shit! :D :D You bastard. ;) It did have a whistling nazi from hell and a dead hologram brother, but it really is bad, but it kinda was intended to be. Oh, and the worst Aussie accent I have ever heard. Even worse than Tarantino in Django Unchained. :)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.Have you seen Dayum signify this? It's awesome! Smash smash smash signify is great as well. :)

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.

I love Some Like It Hot :)
I looked for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre to rent, but couldn't find it! Did you see it on Youtube?Shane told me The Battle Of Algiers is good too, I must check that one out as well as the others.Any interest in Monty Python and the Holy Grail? I found it really funny :D
I loved the ending to City Lights too, it was really moving. Such a great movie. :)
It's very, very silly :D If you've seen any Monty Python sketches before you'll know what to expect.

Are you watching the footy tonight Gaveecho? :D
Yeah I did! I've gotta say, the best thing in the whole match was Shane Long's goal!
Yeah, Forde did really well with those saves! Lamps got lucky with that goal really didn't he, haha :D

I'm relaxing in my hotel room gaveecho! :) I'm traveling through the Northern Territory for eight days. I'm going from Kununurra, to Katherine, to Darwin. :) It's very warm here! :)
Oh, and thanks! I definitely will enjoy myself. :)
When I said 'I'm just getting on a plane'. I really meant it! :D I had to rush finish talking to you because they wanted my ticket to scan! :D
I know I didn't have to rush, but I wanted to get as much from the airport wi-fi as possible.
Ah, you saw Strangers on a Train! Great movie! Man, you've really put a dent in your list of shame! Keep going! :)
The bugs, gaveecho! Everywhere at night! I've never seen it like that. I had t abandon getting good wi-fi connection outside because the bugs were all over me! :D
What was better was all the eagles! 20 of them swooping around together while I'm sitting there eating a chunky beef pie and chips. :)
I'm actually watching a list of shame movie mysef. It's called Last Year at Marienbad. It's a very tough watch for me, gaveecho. It's totally not my style of movie, it's a such a slog watching it. I'm getting close to the end! I'm determined to finish it!! :)
I've heard I might even see more than 20 as well! :) I'll be checking out the natural sights today. :)I bet even some critics would find Last Year at Marienbad to be too much.

Why did you start with The Last Crusade, gaveecho? I'm glad you liked it btw. :)
I really hated it! It redeemed itself enough to get to 12% when I finally had some interest to have a theory on what's happening. The bad thing is you'll have to get to it at some stage to get it off your shame list. Only 88 minutes, gaveecho! :)
It felt like 188 minutes! :D But who knows, you might like it. Do you like avant-garde films?
I'm up on Kelly's Knob (not as rude as it sounds!) :D
Google image view from Kelly's knob W.A. It's just the top of a rock hill! :D I thought that would confuse you! :D
It's so hot, gaveecho! It's 35 degrees! It's raining where in my town right now! :D The locals consider this the cold season! :)
I am! :) I'm headed to five rivers lookout now! :)

I know it's considered a classic so you won't hear me trash it too much on a first viewing. I didn't love (or even like in a couple cases) some of my now-favorite films when I first saw them. 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.
What movie is next, gaveecho? I'm off to Katherine tomorrow! :)Oh, fiver rivers lookout was having a prescribed burn, so the sights weren't the same. I wish I saw it at sunrise or sunset. 12pm isn't the greatest time for it. Oh well, it was still good. :)
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
One question gaveecho. How much sleep are you getting!? It's like a never ending barrage of movies, a big continuous wave of awesome movies. :D
Hiroshima Mon Amour may be my next shame list movie, :) I'm also thinking of watching My Dinner with Andre and The Quiet Man. Also might see Arsenic and Old Lace, The Hidden Fortress and Solaris.
My first coconut! :) I got a glass of coconut water out of it as well. Everyone else hates it, but I don't mind it. :)
Yep, that Solaris. :) I might get that reference, but you'll have to refresh my memory. :)
Other creek names I saw were Black Flag, Dead Horse and Cheese Tin! :D
I watch the show! But it's been some time. Is it what Abed and Troy say? Did you see that they asked Harmon to come back?
We laughed about the names. :D Then we sang In the Ghetto by Elvis Presely, but changed the lyrics to 'In the grotto!' That's another great place you should look up. The Grotto, Wyndham. :)
Yep, for some reason it popped out of my brain. :) That paintball ep was amazing! Which is you fav Sherlock ep?
Do you travel much, gaveecho?
I'll definitely come and talk to you about Sherlock, mate. :) Your man is pretty awesome in it! ;) I just felt like dropping an Irish saying. :) What was the reason for GOT not airing?
I want to eat croc, gaveecho! I didn't last time I was here, so i have to make up for it! :)
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! I need to get my passport ready after getting back from Darwin for my second time. :) I'll go get some baps from you Irish. :)
I'm finished with my last day of teaching on Tuesday, so I'll be able to start knocking a bunch of films out pretty soon as well. Let me know when you see something worth checking out!
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.I might buy some Irish pants as well! But seriously, pants! Pants, gaveecho! C'mon! It will never work for me! :D

I'm on my way to Katherine, gaveecho. :) I'm in Timber Creek at the moment. I won't get signal soon.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. :)
There's a small clip on YouTube as well. Just write in Kate Mulvany on Australian Story to see the preview of the show. :)I really want to see her new play where she's the lead. She plays Gill Hicks, who lost her legs in the London bombings. It's called Thursday.
I won't get signal soon for about three hours! :) I'm gonna have a look at the pink pub first. :)
Did you finally pass out from no sleep? :D
I love Tombstone! Yeah, get back to me about it. Just so you know, none of it will take long. The clip is 30 seconds and the transcript is a 5 minute read. :) It's worth it, I guarantee it. :)
Yeah, Val Kilmer is amazing! I'm about to go on a boat trip! I might see some crocs.
Oh, her boyfriend is in The Great Gatsby as well. But his part is even smaller! He plays clerk 1. :D In Australia, he was nominated for his work on tv. He also has a band called The Parallel Lions. Nt entirely my type of music, but I like a few of them. :)

I plan on seeing The Great Gatsby in Darwin. :) It would of been nicer if she was in it more, but it's pretty awesome she's in a big budget movie. This is her fourth movie. :)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. Maybe i should sneak up on one and nibble on it's eye! What do you reckon? :)Shit! We just nearly hit an eagle! :D
Just won $50 at the pokies! :D
Nah, not proper foxtel. Maybe in Darwin, we've got a penthouse. :) What did you think of it?
That's me gaveecho! All class! ;D I'm gangsta! :) I'm hoping to see a frill necked lizard in the wild! I think I'd be scared, those bastards can run! :D
Yeah! Imagine one of them running after you! I would be shitting myself! :D
Oh, with Tombstone, how awesome and memorable are Powers Boothe and Michael Biehn!? Great villains.

Yeah, I really enjoyed it gaveecho. It's not a movie for everyone, but I think you'd like it, it's not very long either. Have you ever seen Before Sunrise or Before Sunset? These movies have quite a few similarities, except Hiroshima has a powerful backstory, and a disturbing setting ( at the start when they show footage). I was actually crying, but I think it was more to do with my cold, and my head leaking from everywhere! :D
I was at these places today. :)Litchfield termite mounds (over 5m tall, took the bastards over 50 years!)Buley rock poolsFlorence fallsWangi falls
I just saw the score for the latest GOF ep on ign. They gave it a ten! I'm really excited to see it now! Did you think it was that good? Just answer YES!! or NO!! :D
When I watched Singin' in the Rain, I was so impressed by the make 'em laugh dancing. That guy (I can't remember his name) had some amazing skill!
I'm planning on seeing Faster Pussycat Kill Kill and The Thieves. :)
You should see my imdb watchlist then! It's full of obscure movies I want to see. :) I go looking quite hard to find some movies I might like. 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. :)
The second ep of Sherlock is nowhere near as good as the first. Not as many quotable lines and an uninteresting mystery were my problems. But I still really liked it, I'd give it an 8/10. I'm working through The Mighty Boosh as well on YouTube. I watched two eps last night that were fantastic.
Have you seen Inside I'm Dancing? My Irish friends say it's a movie I ahold look out for.
What I need. To do is start watching some of the Korean movies in my watchlist. There's quite a few of them. :)
I think the world would implode if those two started talking about movies! :DYeah, the watchlist is very handy. You don't have to rememeber movies. I listen to quite a few podcasts. So whenever they say something I'm interested in, I just go and add it.The only thing is Inside I'm Dancing is very hard to find over here.
I'll be looking at what you give it then. :)
I enjoyed The Big Heat as well. Last time I looked, it was on YouTube as well.
Is it called Rory O'Shea is Here in other countries?
My cousin annoys me sometimes. I only saw her last week, but she didn't say anything about being in a new film called The Turning. It's also got Hugo Weaving, Miranda Otto, Rose Byrne and Cate Blanchett in it. It's a collection of short stories from Tim Winton. What is really strange is that my friends cousin is Tim Winton! :O So my cousin is in the film based on my friends cousins short stories! :D
I hope you enjoy the rest of it as well gaveecho! :)
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.
Except The Turning would probably be hard to find over there. It's fine for me, it's funded by the West Australian government, I'll have many chances to see it. :)
What's the time over there! It must be bloody late! :)
Kate even was in a movie that wasn't released! The director and actor Matthew Newton hit his girlfriend and attacked a taxi driver, so it was never released. It's annoying, I want to see it. It's 9.22am at the moment. :)

Damn, Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Is an Italian dub with no subtitles.
I've decided I'm gonna watch Tokyo Story. :)
It's funny, I only just found out that it's the same director that did both Last Year at Marienbad and Hiroshima mon amour! I think it's the funny how much I like one, and hate the other.
Well, I guess you finally went to sleep! :DI 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.

So I don't know if it's just me or what, but...I used to be able to click on a film's poster and see my ranking, comments, recent and popular discussions AS WELL AS the ranking that my friends gave it or whether they had seen the movie or not. Has that feature disappeared for you as well?
Well, well. I guess I'm a box of chocolates then. ;)I'm in the money!!!!!!!!!!! I just won $264 at the pokies! :D The best part is I didn't know what I was doing. It was a side game that you choose whether it's a black or red card. I didn't know I could of lost all my money! :D I was betting nearly $100 without knowing! :D I got about six guesses in a row right, then the machine shut down because I won too much. :)
I'm asking people a question. I may as well ask you to, you feckin' bastard. I think you'll be in the same boat soon. :)What do you think of flickchart adding a feature so you have the option to change the order of the comments on your page from newest to oldest. It's just that it's gonna get to the stage where we have to scroll down the pages too much. It's not to bad now, but what about in two or three years? I'll be scrolling for five minutes to see the new comments! What's your opinion?
I plan on watching Fast and Furious 6, and of course, The Great Gatsby tomorrow. :)
To be honest, I was surprised I like Tokyo Story that much as well. It's probably jumped the highest of any movie on my list from thinking about it afterwards. The end is so depressing, isn't it? But it's real, that's what so good about it, it doesn't pull any punches to show what it's like.
I was looking at crocs at the crocosaurus cove today. Then tomorrow I'll finally be eating one! :)
Cool, I hope you like The Great Gatsby. Just so you know, I'll come to Ireland to strangle you if you give Kate a bad review. ;D ;D
Here, a random weird question. I also asked Kate this. Have you ever had pineapple ring in a hamburger before?
The biggest were over 5m long. And Burt was the croc from Crocodile Dundee. Chopper is the oldest, he's 80! The crocs jaw power equals 3400kg.You wouldn't want to give a bad review! I'm a bit of a giant, I'll step on you. ;) Nah, not really, I don't hurt people, I don't see the point. Unless it was absolutely necessary of course.
It's a very common thing to get a pineapple ring in your burger gaveecho. It's called a tropical burger usually. It's so popular that McDonald's and Hungry Jack's (Burger King) have it on the menu. I personally love it! :) We also put beetroot in our hamburgers, but I don't like that. :)
I knew about it, but never really had a close look before. Man, that's not big at all! I could take it! ;D I think that croc would need a feed of super cows to keep it full. I did tell you about them, yeah?
Imagine if you wrote a bad review........imagineeee! I think I'd be so angry, I wouldn't need to know your address. I would simply get off the plane, fuck off the taxi, sprint straight at you, break down the door and point and say YOU!!!! :)
I'm getting put off future technology wit google glass and xbox one pretty much being stalking machines 24/7. Have you read any of it? I hate all of it! I don't know why they think it's appealing.
Do you have a favourite obscure Irish movie that I wouldn't of heard about?
Seeya later! Or now, as it would be! Anyway, yes I'm a gamer. I'm also a playstation fan. But I'll go months without playing a game. which is ridiculous because I have an enormous amount of games to finish befor the playstation 4 comes out. To name just a few, I need to finish God of War 3, Uncharted 3, Tomb Raider, The Darkness! (I know!), The Darkness 2, Fallout: New Vegas and more! I always just put in NBA 2K13, which doesn't progress at all! :D I'm currently playing Max Payne 3.
I'm very excited for The Last of Us after reading the ign review.
Thanks for that! I'll add it to my watchlist. I noticed two 2011 movies that both look very similar.I'm looking forward to Watch Dogs, GTA and that Ellen Page game.
I loved how weird Phantom Pain looked! I actually never played one Devil May Cry game. I actually heard that last one was quite good.Conner said he was going to ask Nathan about changing the comments.
Did you see the massive hole in the sun?I'll be so angry if playstion 4 is like the xbox. The thing I like is that the camera isn't built into the system
Yeah, it's normal, i just thought I'd make you squirm a bit. :D Will you need to be connected to the Internet for the playstation 4!? I don't like that.
What's playstation thing like kinect called? I can't remember. If it's required to turn on, I will kick it! Then throw it at you. I don't know why, but that's what I'll do. :)Hawhawhaw! I'm being a bit evil this morning! I left Kate some evil comments that she'll wake up to as well. :D
Yes!!!!! Playstation knows what to do! I'll take your word for it, I can't do links on an iPad.
I wish I could talk like evil Benedict Cumberbatch! I have a deep voice, but nowhere near him! If I had a genie, that would be my first wish. :D
What you got planned to watch?
Oh, I'm also hoping the South Park rpg game is awesome as well.
I'll probably watch Joint Security Area or Through a Glass Darkly next. Both are on YouTube, so it's easy.
Yeah I need to get to that interview! Kate told me about it as well. I've been calling myself a Cumberbitch ever since! :D

Two things about Fast 6. One, one THAT'S a headbutt!!! :D Two, the best after-credits scene I've ever seen. I want to see what the next movie will be about.It did have quite a few stupid parts, but I was ready for that. This is a movie that you don't take seriously.
*One less one. Would one agree?
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. :)
What's the other Metal Gear? On another system?
Any type of genre of sub-genre you really hate?

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'll have to look it up. I've never heard of that Metal Gear.Hahaha! Your ones were hilarious! :D I had a good cakle here. Cackle? That's a rare word for me to use. :DI'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.
Oh, I just ate some croc in some pita bread with macadamia and sour cream. :) Chicken, gaveecho! It's a big chicken!
I could of eaten camel jerky as well, but it was hot, I don't handle hot very well. You could also eat kangaroo and buffalo jerky. :) The didgeridoo act at the markets was quite amazing to watch. If you're interested, look up emdee amazing fast didgeridoo player to see what I saw. :)
Obviously it was much better live, though. It was so loud! :)
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'll have to get back to you about the other question. It's 2:14 am here, my brain is running on vapours. ;)But I'm on holidays, my cold is nearly gone. Everybody happy! :D
Speaking of Evil Dead, do gory movies appeal to you? Not torture porn of course, but I'm sure you'll know what I mean. I'm just learning what appeals to you because I might be able to recommend stuff later to you, :)
Or over-the-top action movies?

Well, that close to a cinema would have me going all the time! :DI avoided all the trailers for Evil Dead! So annoying! How far behind are the Irish to the US with movie release dates? We are sometimes three months behind! Ha, we did get The Avengers and Iron Man 3 before them. :D Oh how sweet those days were! :)
One, I accidentally liked my comment above what looks to be twice somehow. The other thing, is totally stupid by me. I hope you realize I don't have to embarrass myself like this. :D I wagon my back just now, and my headphones fell down into my armpit! I, with no hiding what happened, absolutely shit myself. :D I thought it was a rat in the bed for some reason. Is this a sign of my brains thinking this early in the morning? I kinda hope so. :)
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. :)
And before you say something! No I did not actually shit myself! :D I notice a mistake about a wagon as well! You've already liked the comments! As I'm writing this you're probably writing something. :)
Oh, it wasn't that bad! :D Imagine if I actually admitted something like that on here! That would be a bit too honest! :DI 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.
Funny thing is, my actual first thought wasn't a rat, but a cat! :D Now how the he'll does that make sense!? I'm on the 27th floor of a penthouse! Where is a bloody cat going to hide! :D

Ha, I was having that go above, it didn't let me. :)
No, have a look now if you want! :D I'm excited! :D
Taking the hand? I've never heard that saying before! Should I of? I assume the answer is yes. Oh, and by the way, I'm dead serious. No joke. But like I said, yawn! I'm tired! :D I guess I'll have to tell you another time! Good night, gaveecho! :)
Ah, your trying to bait an answer out of me? If you want to hear it, I'll tell you later, or you can go through all of the hundreds of comments of Kate's page until you find it. Oh yes, there is an explanation, but i guess my evil side has kicked in again. :)
I hope you're taking this all well. Seriously, I like having a laugh. :) But I'm not creative enough to come up with a lie that big! 100% true it is. Kate guessed Nicolas Cage. :)
Well, I'm glad you get it! :).....................I'm still not telling you yet, though. :)
Hawhawhawhawhawhaw!!!!

I do hope you like Life of Brian. There's a great helping of that crass, stupid humor Monty Python's good at, but there's actually a surprising amount of cool little in-jokes for people who know a bit about Second Temple Judaism. Kinda weird, but I appreciated it a lot as it's a big interest of mine! =)

That's the one! How weird is that?! :DI enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I've never read the book either, so I'm not sure, or worried about if it's faithful. 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. :)
I'm still not over it!!! :DNah, I don't really like Baz much, so I might be biased about Gatsby. :) I thought Australia was alright, and I really liked Strictly Ballroom. :)
It's all over, gaveecho! I'm back in W.A! :) I flew out this afternoon at 2.At the markets, there was many bongs for sale. Have you seen bongs for sale at markets in ireland? :)
Oh, and I'm watching GOT right now. :)Joint Security Area is a great movie. Look it up if you're interested. If you like the sound of it, it's on YouTube. :)
Well, I just finished it gaveecho! That was depressing! I liked it, I guess, but it's taking a bit to wrap my head around it. :) *******spoilers for Game of Thrones season 3 ep 9*****They just keep killing the characters I like! Kill the red head Stark!

I hope you didn't think I was trying to tell you not to keep commenting because I was watching GOT. It doesn't bother me, you can leave a comment whenever. :)I watched Die Hard 5 on the plane. It was worse than expected. Bruce Willis was in it, but it didn't feel like John McClane to me.
Yeah, I remember, this time! :)That's cool, go do what you have to do. :) I'll guess! :D Let's see, I'll say you're grating cheese, not for food, but because you love doing it. ;) Don't tell me if it's personal, I'm just being an idiot. :)

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.

*****spoilers for Game Of Thrones season 3 ep 9****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****spoilers for Game of Thrones season 3 ep 9******
I knew it! Have you just finished grating? Cheese must be everywhere! ;) Why would anyone grate for food when they can grate for fun?!
I'm in the same boat as Corey, I didn't like Duck Soup much. It's just not my sense of humour. I enjoy Chaplin much more! Gold Rush is one of my favorites of his.
I just told my Irish friend about my win at the pokies! She said I was a 'feckin' jammy!' :D
****spoilers for Game of Thrones season 3 ep 9***Ah, that's the Hound! You get me wrong, I made sure to write love to hate because it's all over the place how I feel about him. I like him at the moment, but I remember what he did. The Stark mother did some amazing acting in that last scene! That was so impressive! *****spoilers for Game of Thrones season 3 ep 9*****I guess! But I don't even know what a bloody jammy is! :)
Well, seeing as I had no idea I was gambling so much money, I think I'm the jammiest jammy bastard who ever feckin' used a pokies machine!! :) I really enjoy watching that tall woman with the king slayer. I think she's an interesting character! Plus she's huge! 6' 3 is a very tall woman! She could nearly look me straight in the eyes! :D
I'm 6' 6. :)
An no, I've never heard how posh her accent is.****spoilers for Game of Thrones season 3 ep 9I don't think I want to say too much about favourite character. The show just loves killing them off! At this rate, we'll just be left with arseholes at the end. I think it's time they reward the audience a bit. We've endured a lot of death that cuts our balls off. It's time for someone evil to die! What do you think?
How tall are you? If you don't mind me asking.Did you know they changed Daario from the book? He had a three pronged blue beard! I see why they changed him.
Hopefully I haven't asked you this before. What other shows do you watch? Breaking Bad?
I watch Underbelly, Boardwalk Empire, Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Hell on Wheels, Spartacus, Walking Dead, Shameless, New Girl, Community.I need to start Homeland and Vikings. Some show with Keri Russell is supposed to be great as well. If think there's more, but I'm too tired to think of them. Back to sleep I go. :)

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.
Why are you telling me about the weather? Giving me incentive to go visit Ireland now? :)
I don't mind either way gaveecho! :) I'm interested in anything you say about Ireland. :) I'm glad you're getting good weather. I like talking to you, anything you say has my full attention. :) Even a weather update. ;)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.
Oh, and Katey Sagel, from Futurama and Married with Children is one of the highlights of the show as Jax Teller's tough as nails bikie mum. :)
I'm actually working with an Irish guy at the moment I've got to say, you Irish are good workers! I've now worked with six Irish people, and they all are easily better than most of the Aussies I work with. :) I have to get used to his accent a bit. I'm used to my friends' Irish accent- which is so different to this new guy.

I'll have a look at that vid straight after talking to you. Did you watch the vid they made to show how to share used games? Pretty funny......and totally mocking xbox. Yeah, you get it for $399! I'll have to fork out $550! Those bastards! U2 gaveecho. ;)I'm understand him pretty well, but like I said, i'm more used to my friends. I haven't been able to watch Game of Thrones yet! :O I hope I can tomorrow.I think the first three seasons of SoA are great, but I think it's seasons 4 and 5 that kicked it up a gear. I'm very interested where this show will go. I'll come back after looking at the vid you mentioned.
The trailer for The Order 1886 looks awesome! But it raised questions. What's with the guns and aircraft?! I'm sure it'll get explained.Did they give a definite release date?
I've got to get to work, talk later mate. :)

*****Spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 3 final!!****I finally watched it! Wow! First of all, I think that image of the wolf head attached to Robb's body will be in my head for a long time! What's the name of the guy learning to read? I've come to realize he's another of my favourites.I really liked how the Hound had no ideas the Stark girl had his knife. That was awesome.It kinda didn't end on a cliffhanger did it? It was really just setting up next season quite a bit.What did you enjoy?******Spoiler for Game of Thrones season 3 final!!*****
That was good timing for me to wake up! Three minutes after you left your comment. :D
****Spoilers for Game of Thrones season 3 final!!******That was a funny part with Davos! I'm finally remembering names, and the bloody season is over! Three weeks from now......Pfff! All gone! :)I thought we were gonna see White Walkers this season! :) I guess they are trying to make it realistic, an army like that would take time to move.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.******Spoilers for Game of Thrones season 3 final!!****
What are you gonna watch soon, gaveecho? You must be busier, there isn't five movies up every time I look. ;)******Spoilers for Game of Thrones season 3 final!!****How could I forget the sausage scene! :O I would love see him get killed!

High and Low is awesome! I love it. How bloody late is it there?! :DRemember I was telling you about the Irish guy at work? Well, when he was younger, a wall fell on him! He broke his legs, arms and back! 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.
Never heard of Drunken Angel, I'll have to look it up.
I'm going straight to the top of the pile for a crazy over-the-top action movie! :D Story of Ricky, gaveecho! What would a martial arts movie in prison look like? Look no further, because Story of Ricky is it! It's all on YouTube as well, both dubbed and in Cantonese. I've watched it both ways, even the dubbed version is fun for the ridiculous voices to go with the craziness. Have a look to see if it's something for you. It's kinda feels like a martial arts version of Vampire's Kiss! It's that crazy! Now you know why I like it! :D Onefucktoomany loves it as well.
Drunken Angel sounds awesome.Now gaveecho, take what I'm about to say lightheartedly, I don't intend to insult anyone. :) This Irish guys accent is ver different to what I've heard. Now, you must of heard the stereotypical Irish accent people from other countries do all the time, the aah tee tee thing they do (remember, not trying to insult) Well, he kinda sounds like that! :D Can you guess where he's from? I might ask him later to see if you're right. :)Oh, I like that he sounds like he walk from the Father Ted set. He's always saying feck and shite. :D
Have you seen the trailer for Snowpiercer? I think it looks interestingly weird. :)
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!?
WOW! MGS looks unbelievable! I'm not very good at remembering these games, though. Was there any characters in that trailer I was supposed to remember from the other game?
I started Arsenic and Old Lace as well. But I fell asleep on the lounge. Not because of the movie, I was dead dog tired. Plus the godamn fire went out! It's fun getting a fire going again at 3:00am. :)

What the hell is The Dark Sorcerer about?! Have you seen it?
I kinda wish that Quantum Break and Dead Rising 3 were on the playstation. Oh well, I'll stick to all the awesome games the ps4 has to offer.

Hey Gaveecho! I watched Taxi Driver for the first time last night, it was stunning, I loved it. Can definitely see why you have it as your number one. :)
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! :DI 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! :)
*goblin thing! :) Gobbling thing is something entirely different. :)
Arsenic and Old Lace has some thrilling parts to it as well. I like the mix of comedy, crime and thriller. If it keeps this up, it'll end up very high on my list. Too bad it's getting late, I won't get to see all of it.
I just googled 'dead dog tired' just to make sure. Seems like I did! :) someone did call it dog dead tired, but that's just stupid. ;)A Dirty Harry and Heat game as well. But never heard anything.Unless the arse falls out of it, I think Arsenic and Old Lace will be either a 9 or 10/10 for me. :)
No I didn't see Cyberpunk 2077. I'm listening to an interview on a podcast at the moment, so I'll look it up later. :) Thanks for keeping me informed btw. :)
I definitely will gaveecho. :) Marc Maron is interviewing Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. It quite funny. :)I think it might be my first expession, yeah! :) Now I need to spread it until it's Aussie slang. :)
I'll tel you one part that made me laugh in Arsenic and Old Lace. It's not a spoiler.Grant's Mortima is talking to Lane's Elaine. Elaine says "you can't marry me one second, then throw me out of the house the next!"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!!!" Fantastic stuff. I laughed for so long! I watched it six or seven times. :D
What do you think of the design and look of the console and the controller?
Cyberpunk looks good also. I was a bit confused who you play as, though. I think I like some of the other trailer a bit better- just because they are using actual gameplay in the trailers. But the actual game could better, who knows.
Man, another show I watch is starting up! Magic City as well! It's gonna be hard to keep up!
Oh, what I meant was I liked the other trailers for other games better. I left the s off. :)
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. :)
Sorry I had you looking for nothing, gaveecho. :) Or am I?
Evil Shane is bubbling under the surface here, but I won't let him out today. You dickhead. ;DUncharted 3 is another game I have to get to! I have two seasons of Walking Dead to watch as well! Poor me! Too much good stuff to play/watch. What a catastrophe!
Which game? The good one I assume, not the other crappy one? I bought the Walking Dead game too! Another thing I need to get to.The more I talk to you gaveecho, the harder it is to keep him at locked up. ;)
If you don't mind me asking, is there any significance to your profile name?
Yeah, exactly! You've got it now! ;) Something about you, grrr, I want to strangle you! :D Like Biggie said "mo gaveecho, mo problems" He said that right? Of course he did!
I guess I can see it sounding Italian? Nah, that would never be taken on sites. You know, I've been trying to figure out why it's gaveecho for ages! I was thinking of asking, then I thought- is there some Irish name in there that I can't see? :)
Yeah.......you're cool and hip.....next thing, you'll be saying you're "ducky" or "gangsta". And yes, we're talking about Biggy. Get with the past! ;)
I was thinking, is his name Gave? Then I thought, surely not! :) But Ireland has many unique names, so I didn't know,

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. :)
Sorry, the Jules quote below was meant for SLionsCricket. Oops. :)
I'm liking the Jules quote! :)
I was going to say something about the comments, but Conner said he wanted to. Then when I asked if he had done it, he didn't reply. I think I'm gonna go ahead one day soon and ask Flickchart to consider what we talked about.
You've probably seen it by now, but the answer to the Jules thing is above the comment. I'm sort of glad to of confused you! Hawhawhaw!Yeah I thought I said that to you! I just had some Irish cream fudge, very nice. :) Also, a bit random. ;)Did you pre-order the ps4?
Nope, I think I'm in trouble. :D I think I might miss out for on one straight away. I get one eventually. It's gonna cost me $550, which works out about the same as you I think. But the bloody Americans get it cheap!Is there any unique Irish foods you like, gaveecho?
Oh, 1600 comments! My page will be longer than the Eiffel Tower soon! :D
Well, we have lamingtons, which are awesome. Only homemade, though. Pavlova is great. Love me a Tim Tam, crocodile wasn't bad ;), Bundaberg ginger beer is amazing (recently started drinking it again in .Darwin) I have vegemite every morning on toast. Do you have sausage rolls in Ireland, I really don't know. :) Plus we put pineapple in our burgers, which just adds something to it if you ask me. :)
Yeah, I've never had Baileys Cheesecake. I like baileys, though. :) My Nana used to make the best lamingtons! They have to be soft in the middle, with nice chocolate on the outside. When you buy them, they're always hard and flavourless.
Can you describe guinness to me anyway? :)
I have six minutes to go on Arsenic and Old Lace. I'll be interested to see how high it ends up. :)
My Irish friends describe guinness like it's a meal. :D
For my next movie I'm thinking of either watching A Face in the Crowd or Dracula. :) Another two movies on my list of shame. Has it been as bad for you as it has for me watching what movies De Niro has chosen over the last ten to fifteen years?
Well, The Family may be alright. It's directed by Luc Besson, so I'm hoping. Killing Season has potential, but I don't like Travolta's beard. :)

I've been waiting for The Irishman for ages! Scorsese keeps talking about making Silence first, but I really hope he doesn't.
I was literally just about to tell you that they better not turn Max into an American in the game for ps4. What's the first thing I see when I go to ign? American Mad Max! That is terrible! I feel like not buying the game because of this, that's how much it annoys me. Why does everything have to be Americanized?!
Mad Max is ours! Why should America claim it like that! At least Tom Hardy will have an Aussie accent in the movies that are coming.
What other De Niro performances do you like?
I think you nearly got them all covered. I really enjoyed him in This Boy's Life, have you seen it? I also think Ronin is underrated, and I enjoyed him in The Score. Oh, I liked him in Awakenings as well. :)
I just saw where you have Ronin. I thought you'd enjoy it more than that. Oh well, it's your right to have it there. :) But 12%. Can you please tell me what you didn't like? I'm interested in what someone with a totally different opinion on the movie thinks. I hope I don't sound angry or annoyed, It's a genuine question.
I'm not gonna force you to watch a movie that you only moderately enjoy. :) What about This Boy's Life? I think you should see that instead. Dicaprio and De Niro in a movie together.

At the least, call it Mad Max: Road Warrior. :) It just annoys me that they did that.

Black Narcissus is definitely worth checking out. Watch it on as big a screen as you can get. Gorgeous film!
Got another game lined up?Have you heard about the new Playstation update stuffs some?
I'll try and think of some more action movies for you. :)
Oh yeah, I knew it was The Last of Us! My brain is all over the place talking to everybody! :DNah, you didn't miss anything, I'm just being a whinger. I think i have an ingrown nail.Have a look on ign for the article Playstation 3 firmware update bricking consoles. You'll get more info if you read it from there. :)
Man of Steel made $160 million just from product placements! I hope they aren't blatant.
You have been told about the crazy Story of Ricky, so I'll go for a more serious action movie next. :)Nope, just a tall whinger. :)I don't play online anyway, it won't let me on (probably because I don't know what I'm doing), plus I'm lazy about it. :) What do you think?
Did you ever see The Day the Earth Stood Still remake? Terrible product placement in that movie. It actually has a tracking shot of some drink (can't remember what) in Keanu's hand as he walks along, then as he sits.
What did you like the look of with the PSPlus?
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.
Oh, no worries about the slow reply, by the way!
Did you read the article? I think The Last of Us has that update, so I don't know what to suggest.Did you think I was linking Man of Steel and The Day the Earth Stood Still together because of blatant product placement? I wasn't, I actually don't know what it's like in Man of Steel. It just really annoyed me in TDTEST (ha, I like that)

Do you know what TDTEST really means? Total Douche Test- and you passed with flying colours!!! :D :D
Probably not! I'm not a person to use the word douche very often. So yeah, you totally set yourself up for that! :D I was proud of that comeback, I usually don't know what to say, and three hours later i think of the perfect thing! :) I'm very glad you take everything well- that's the Irish in you I think. :)
Actually, I've never said douche, so my first time was memorable for me. I was going to add another joke, but it really didn't sound right. Actually, it just sounded just plain wrong. :D So out it came.
Hahahaha! Did you see that xbox has reversed no used games policy! :D They must realize they're in trouble.
I still think the worst part of the Xbox is the inbuilt camera. No way! I like my privacy. Naughty Dog and Rockstar for me. Oh, and whatever the people behind Beyond Two Souls and Heavy Rain are called.
Did they fix the update, or did you take a risk? Your game definitely saved didn't it? Hopefully you don't get the auto-save problems.

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.
Oh, a bit of rare swearing from my buddy, gaveecho. :DYou little daredevil, you. :D I'm glad it worked for you. :)I didn't check if my game saved! :O I'll be very annoyed if it's gone.

You see ign think they have the release date for the ps4?
Man, you're always up so late! :D
I'm a night owl as well! I'm talking to Kate too! All three of us are night owls! :D Except it's easier fir me at the moment- it's 8:37 am :D
Definitely getting a playstation this year. $550 is a great cost really when I payed nearly a grand for the ps3.
*paid! As you would say, fucking hell. :)
Nah, I haven't got round to it yet. I'm thinking of the best way to put it- to have more of a chance for it to be successful. I have so many comments! It's funny, because it took me a year to even get to a hundred! Now I sometimes I get 50 a week! I guess people like talking to me?
I still would rather the bloody Americans price! I must sound like I hate Americans lately with all my comments. :D
You and Kate must of both passed out on me. :D Nighty night!!!! ;D
Don't worry about it! I'm not grading your English paper. :D Plus some of your comments lead to hilarity. :)Thanks. I appreciate your kind words gaveecho, I really do. You feckin' silly bastard. ;) You know I'm kidding. :)I saw on ign that our price works out about the same as you. But the Americans are really getting it dirt cheap.

Still swearing! Bit out of character. :P

You know, sometimes I think you are your profile pic! :D I catch my brain thinking some dumb things sometimes! How was it acting in The Exorcist? I did the same with you Muholland Drive pic. I was thinking- "he thinks he's a pretty cool dude with those glasses on!" :D. I hope you appreciate the fact I didn't have to share any of these embarrassing thoughts. I find it very easy to talk to you and Kate. :)
*your! Fuck!
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. :)
Yes, really. But I must point out that I wasn't sitting there for five minutes thinking it's you in the profile pic- it's a split second thing, you know? You thought I was crazy Nicolas Cage? I can make him look like he's slightly angry compared to me! ;)I was annoyed watching Jimmy Fallon. Elijah Wood kinda spoils what happens at the start.
Now that song sunglasses at night is in my head when I see the Mulholland Drive pic in your top ten :D I hate that song! :) Also, no, you didn't look cool with sunglasses on. You're a silly little bastard from way back. ;) Did I pass the TDTEST?Yeah, I couldn't believe how much they got for it! It was exactly the same!

I'm very happy I could help, mate. :)I'm still liking these quotes! :D1. 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. :D7. 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.
Hahahahaha!! I did it again! That was for SLionsCricket! I have too many pages open on my iPad! :D
I just saw A Face in the Crowd- I loved it! :) It's a mix of media manipulation like Ace in the Hole, and greed like The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. :) I don't know where it'll end up, but it'll be high. Great performances from Andy Griffith and Patricia Neal. :)
Yes! I passed! :DYou finished it! I'm way off!! :D How many hours did it take? We'll have to have a spoiler discussion when I'm done. :)****Minor spoilers for The Last of Us******I'm currently sneaking past a bunch of clickers in buildings.
Ha, we both have Peeping Tom at 87%. :)
What game next, gaveecho?
Oh, you're getting me excited even more for The Last of Us if you want to play it again! I'll try and play some more tonight and tomorrow. I look forward to talking to you about it too, buddy. :)Am I having deja vu, or did I mention Peeping Tom a few months back? Forgive me if I did. :)
Do you have interest in Cool Hand Luke?
It's my favourite Paul Newman performance by far. Such a compelling movie. At times, it's quite funny too. :)
It's 10:52pm here, and I feel like cereal! :D Do I care what time it is, no, not really. I'm getting some bloody cereal godamnit!! :D
I'm eating my cereal! :D
It's actually 11:02 now, but hey, who's counting? (TDTEST! Did I pass again?) The music is fantastic! Do you get a variety later on? On does it stick with the music at the start? Either way, I'm sure it's great. :)
It was great cereal! It hit the spot! Some dried fruit in there, that's what I was craving. :D Yes!! TD all the way!!

Yep! :D Kate and I used to watch it all the time when we were younger. Personally, i've seen it about eight(maybe more) times.
Thanks for the recommendation buddy. :) Was it on YouTube?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.
It might of been in another movie then! :D itmmight not of even been him! Like you said, I've seen quite a few 40's movies. :)He still annoyed me though! :D he just couldn't give a straight answer! It always had to be some smart remark. He was pissing me off. :)
The women thing even creeps into the 50's! I won't say which movies. :)
The movie still worked for me, but I was thinking, just give one straight answer! JUST ONE! :D

How was Rope and South Park? Ha! I think that's the first time those two movie have been mentioned in the same sentence. World first! ;)
I'm glad you liked Cool Hand Luke, bud. :) Newman is just amazing as Luke.
I just pre-ordered the ps4! :)
I completely agree with you about Trick 'r' Treat. :)
Trick 'R' Treat is a lot of fun. :)World War Z was much better than I thought. I really enjoyed it. It has one of the creepiest zombies I have ever seen. She really creeped me out. :) It's probably the creepiest thing i've seen in a movie for some time. Except for Maniac, which I'll add after sending you this. :)
The Blue Umbrella is an underwhelming Pixar's short. But man, does it look beautiful. :) I much prefer shorts such as Presto and For the Birds.
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. :)
Oh, Partly Cloudy is great as well. I actually can't remember Luxo Jr. very well, did you like it?

Have you been re-watching old cartoons, Gaveecho? :D I love some of those on your recently watched - Duck Amuck is great. Also I remember seeing What's Opera Doc and almost blubbing my eyes out at the ending when I was a kid, lol.
Have you seen Antichrist, buddy? :) That will hit your jaw for a six! :D Plus, I won't even attempt A Serbian Film, have you heard of it? Just blaaaah! to that one. :) That's very nice, I really like talking to you too. :) I'm not going to look either! This is from my brain(my oh so weird brain ;) ). I love me some 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. :)
Yes I know! How does that stay up on YouTube?!No, you shouldn't! It's at the very bottom of my list. You can't get what's in Antichrist out of your head. It's sick! I won't even give you details, because it really was disgusting.
Oh, and I'm glad you liked Presto! They need to make more like this! :)
Looks like we have similar taste in horror movies! :)Got any to throw at me? :)
Now mate, just so you know, I'm not having a go at you, it's just a silly question. When you write lol, are you actually loling? :D I mean, everybody does it, but are people really sitting at home lolling at everything?! Again, this is not aimed at you, it's just something I notice, I need to know! I've done the lol thing before, but not once had I been laughing! :D I actually would feel weird sitting here going 'bwah bwah bwah hahaha ha! ha!' every time I had written lol. (ha, especially if I actually laughed that way! :D I actually laughed then, but I'm not writing it! :) )
Also, The Best Years of Our Lives is on tv next month! :) I'll be able to finally hit that baby for a six! And yes, I literally mean I'll hit a baby out of the park! :D Take, me out to the ball game! I'm in a very weird mood. :D
I like all your choices! :) Especially The Excorcist! I thought I'd leave that for you. ;) Actually, I completely forgot about it! :D
Yep, I totally get you. :) Thanks for that, that made it clear to me. Hope you don't think I was having a go, I hope you know that I wouldn't do that.
You may laughing and smiling a bit at times, but what about other people? That's my point, I think it's used way too often because i bet they are home stone faced as they write it. :)
I have no idea what The Best Years of Our Lives is about! :D But I'm bloody watching it! It's nary at the top of my shame list.
Oh man, I just looked- it goes for 172 minutes! :O Some movies on my shame list intimidate me! :) Like The Ten Commandments(220mins!) and Children of Paradise(190 mins!)
*It's nearly, not nary! :)
Nope, sorry. :D I haven't played it at all because I've been in the city. You'll be the first person to know when I'm done, buddy. :)
Yeah, Fanny & Alexander was a toughie for me. It'll be nothing compared to The Ten Commandments when I eventually man up and watch it. :) Yeah, I noticed we commented about the runtime at the same time. :D

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.
To be honest, I can't remember if I did. I'll check it out after work and tell you what I thought. :)

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. *****Spoilers for True Blood*******You and gaveecho have now told me to watch Luther(he backed you up).

I haven't actually seen any other Korine movies. I was just trying to say you'd like the movie because it's called Trash Humpers. ;)The Proposition is a fantastic movie.

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).

Thanks for accepting my add, gaveecho! I think you should definitely check out To Kill a Mockingbird and Up, they perfectly sum up what I love about classic movies and modern movies. They include everything good about their respected eras in this constantly developing art form.
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. :)

Some awesome movies hadto make way, but Taxi Driver deserves to be there. Actually my top 50 had had quite a makeover. Even my top 100 is looking different. I still think a few changes have to occur. :) Tokyo Story and Arsenic and Old Lace are both potential big movers.
That's was funny how Kate found me on here talking to you. :D We'd been watching the tennis, and it was really late over here, and I had a job as a boss the next day. I had just said I was going to sleep, then she caught me here! :D Oh, and if you're reading this Kate, :P :D
The Raid was one movies that moved up many spots on my list. I can't wait for the sequel! Less so for the apparent remake.

**********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 :)**************spoilers for Luther S3 ep1*********

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!)

Thanks for the recommendation, buddy. I'll keep an eye out for Ivan's Childhood.What did you think of Lost Highway?

Cool, I'll be watching it from 9-10pm, talk to you about it later :) I hope it's not too scary, I'll never get to sleep lol!
No, I'm not on Letterbox'd. I have thought about it, because the fellas from the Film Junk podcast are on there. Might be something I would consider. :)

*************spoilers for Luther Season 3 ep 2***********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....:OI 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.************spoilers for Luther Season 3 ep2**************

Thanks for the offer, buddy! I really appreciate it. If I join, i'll be adding you before I do anything else. :)If you don't mind telling me, what's your real name? You only have to tell me your first name. I also thought I'd let you know that if I lived in Ireland, I think we'd be good friends. :) Hope that's not to corny for you. :D But I mean it. :) You bastard. ;)
My thoughts mirror your on Eraserhead and Wild at Heart. *********Spoilers for Eraserhead*********That baby thing was ridiculous! I was glad when it was killed, I would of killed it when it first made a noise! It may have some other meaning, but I really don't care. It's crying brain-stem-mutant-baby-thing that left me uninterested in the rest of the movie.As for Wild at heart, you KNOW I up for some crazy Cage!! :) Plus crazy Willem Dafoe is always great as well. What about those teeth! I see why she wanted him! ;D
I'm on there, and I've added you my friend. :) They seem to be having problems, all of the site was down a few minutes ago. Can I call you Gavin, or do you prefer gaveecho? :)
You'll be the first to know when I have an opportunity to see Harakiri, buddy. The Best Years of Our Lives is on later today(it's 1:05am), so I'll try and see if I like that. Hopefully I do so that runtime isn't as daunting!

Just a minor mistake, Gavin(oh,oh what is this! ;D) On my list of recordings, I saw 6:30pm. What I didn't see was the day- it's recording tomorrow! :DYeah, I was also going to comment on some lists, but I can't until they let me. It took me quite some time to realise I had to confirm my place on the site.
I recently lost my imdb watchlist that was 11 pages long(I wanted to......shoot my self....out of a cannon) and are slowly getting it back. I think I'll use Letterbox'd to add a bunch of movies there. Oh, how wacky a mix of movies it will be in there! :D Have you seen the reviews for Mud!!? Certified fresh 98% on rottentomatoes it has. I can't believe the role that McConaughey is on for the last few years. He just keeps picking interesting projects.
As much as I like massive blockbuster and powerful dramas, I also like weird little movies that nobody has heard about. I use my watchlist so I can remember the titles. Not all of them work for me, but I give them a chance. Who knows, there could be another Vampire's Kiss in the list somewhere. It's easy to remember the rest, THEY'RE ALWAYS IN YOUR FACE!!! :)
Is it Nicolas Cage in Wild at Heart?
Good ol' Nicolas Cafe! (I'm loving your mistake, Gavin) How did I know? Because that's how I roll! :D
Basteecho!!! :D
Is it called The Rundown in Ireland, or is it Welcome to the Jungle like over here? Have you seen Lynch's Stright Story or Elephant Man?
Ron Perlman once asked Marlon Brando 'how do you know the scen is going well?'Brando responded 'Check your arsehole'. :D He added 'if it's loose, you're doing fine, if it's tight, then you have to do it again' :D How bloody crazy is that! :D But could it be the best acting advice ever?! :) Maybe I'll tell my cousin! ;)
I personally loved The Elephant Man. I'd probably I've it 4.5/5 on Letterbox'd.

All your comments disappeared for a minute Gavin! I don't know what happened.Yeah, The Elephant Man is a pretty straightforward story. But really, it's such a fascinating story, Lynch didn't need to add any of his usual style to it.Haha! There is no way I could tell my cousin to do that! :D I think it would lead to an awkward silence. :D
I came to write something on here, and all the comments people had left for you had gone! :)
It's just turned 9:24pm, Gavin. You? I started The Best Years of Our Lives and it seems good. Just so you know, this is NOT a hint for you not to comment. :)
Oh, imagine if I just said to Kate(my cousin, not Kate668) 'check your arsehole if you want to know if you're acting good' without saying that Brando said that! :D There would be an awkward silence, then a walk out the door, then a five year shutout! :D
Never, ever worry about commenting Gavin. I'm glad to you from you whenever you feel like it. I think I may just write a review Gavin. The film has been going for 30mins and is had already has me thinking of how good the story is. :) This has potential to end up very high on my list. But it's too early to tell so early in.
*hear from you. I don't know how I jumbled the words! Technically, 'hear' isn't the best option to use, but I really don't give a damn! :D
Damn! You saw my comment! Before seeing the follow-up! You bastard. :D
*and is had! And is had!! Where's that damn cannon!
Yeah, always looking for a reason to make fun of me, you bastard. :D This movie has had more character development in 36 minutes than some dramas do for the entirety of the film!
I see you added The Act of Killing to your watchlist as well. Have you wanted to see it for a while?
Look up The Final Member on IMDB. I think that's a good job for you. :D
Ha Hah!! :D I'm glad you had a laugh! So, when do you start packing? Your true life's calling awaits you. :D
Have you seen the trailer for The Counselor? I think that movie has great potential.

You're right! I did! How did you know?! Actually, the job I thought you should get was to take over looking after the museum! He's not getting any younger you know! Yes, I can see you being an heir to this great establishment. Plus they just had extensions to the building to fit mine in there. :D I can't wish you more luck for your future endeavor! Good luck! :)
Oh well! Not our problem if someone takes everything so seriously. Plus they would really have to commit to not having fun, they also need to look up the movie. This is to you, person who is angry or annoyed at us- Don't take everything so seriously! :)I need Javier Bardem to work with Cormace McCarthy again to complete the crazy hair trilogy. :D
Well, my favourite adaptation is No Country, but my favourite book is The Road. I was excited when Kate(my cousin) saw it on the bench and asked if it was mine. I started it, and finished it in the same day. I just couldn't put it down! :)
It's The Last of Us as a book, Gavin(without the clickers). You'll crave canned peaches after reading it.Have you heard of the Irish AFL footballers. An Irishman called Pierce Hanley in really doing well over here at the moment. He played awesome last night. :)
I'll have to go back to The Best Years of Our Lives because I fell asleep! :D I woke up to see the credits rolling. :D Not to say it's boring, it just just pretty late. Not a very good effort from this night owl. :)
Nah, he plays for the Brisbane Lions- I go for the West Coast Eagles. He kicked a very impressive goal last night. He's good, but it'll take some effort for him to pass the greatest Irish footballer- Jim Stynes.
*Damn!! *It's just! I'm am not a beatboxer! :D
