Film Thread.
I thought a trio of themed threads about other entertainment media might be good. If you're not interested, please just ignore the thread and pick some threads that interest you from here: http://celephais.net/board/view_all_threads.php

Anyway, discuss films...

In Time 
Justin Timberlake (lol) is actually not too bad at acting. HE has a great moment where you drop to your knees and scream:

"NOOOOOOO!O!OO!O!O!O!!!!!!!"

It's wasn't that convincing, but you could tell that he tried :D :D :D

Overall I enjoyed the film. 
Let's Make Money 
has anyone seen this doc? It's german, but with english subtitles. I definitely reccomend looking it up to get an interesting glimpse of the current world economic market. Some really REALLY interesting scenes and locations, and also interesting talking heads. if you like talking heads. 
Re Nolan 
yes 
Rango 
just realised I didnt pimp this, excellent little animated flick that didnt get as much coverage as it should have. Probably because its borderline unmarketable with most of its (rather quirky) jokes coming through clever dialogue and characterisation rather than visual gags.

Riffs a lot of classic movies too including a priceless setpiece moulded on the Flight of the Valyries invasion from Apocalpyse Now. 
 
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

Great humour, sometimes hard to get, dragging, weird ending, did not get the german guy himself. Not the masterpiece I expected but definitely a good movie I will probably see again.


She's out of my league (2010)
Watched this as motiv--- no wait. I like teen romance comedies. This one was pretty good. Ultra hot Alice Eve (might know her from Big Nothing). Liked it!

Slackers (2002)
Kinda dark humor teen comedy romance thing. Social fucktard blackmails exam cheaters to get him a girl. Was really nice until later. Sucked badly then. 4/10.

Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
Fun. Not great but good. And feel-good too. 
 
I watched Little Miss Sunshine twice and find it quite overated. It's pretty dull and not really that charming.

I didn't like Dr Strangelove the first time I saw it. Maybe I was too young. But the second time I loved it.

Haven't seen She's Out of My League or Slackers.

Started watching Kingdom Hospital. I'm not Stephen Kings biggest fan - he's done some brilliant stuff, but he's also done a lot of garbage. Only up to episode 4, it's pretty good so far. Not spectacular - but fully deserving of a 10.30 timeslot. Would be interesting to see Lars Von Trier's version of Kingdom Hospital, the original version.

Anyone seen both King's Kingdom Hospital and Lars' The Kingdom?

A Serbian Film 
if you want to watch that, don't read the above. 
What?! 
 
Sorry 
"A Serbian Film" is the name of a film. Made in Serbia. 
I've Been Recommended To Watch That 
with the supporting statement "you'll totally vomit bro" 
Yeah 
I have seen it. you might. 
+1 To Watching A Serbian Film And Vomiting 
I watched it. The uber-contraversial scene (er, isn't that just the whole second half of the movie, lol, but seriously) with the baby - well, It was almost as though they threw that in there, just to get people talking about the movie (or writing to their local MPs).

The film itself is actually quite well acted and shot. And there is a classic scene where the lead characted kills a male, using a method which I dont think I have seen before in a movie.

Also - dont watch with your GF in the room, even if she isn't watching the movie. She will over-hear the movie, and then accuse you of watching a porno. And you will feel cheated, because trust me braw - it aint no porno. 
Luther 
overly silly but entertaining as hell UK crime show with Stringer Bill playing a cliche morally compromised detective.

Dripping with atmosphere and Elba is magnetic but you have to be able to look past formulaic characters and plotting. If you can, very enjoyable ride. 
Okay 
on behalf of all semi-adjusted people, fuck you for promoting such garbage.

don't worry, you won't get spammed with baby rape. 
PS 
A quote from the sick fuck working for the NY Times who reviewed this movie:

What you make of this spectacle � which is filmed, not without skill, in slick and lurid widescreen composition � will depend to some extent on how you interpret the movie�s title, with its deadpan implication of typicality. �A Serbian Film� refers both to Mr. Spasojevic�s movie and also, perhaps more directly, to the movie inside it, which Vukmir envisions as a transcendent expression of Serbia�s national identity. The framing tale, with its allusions to the Balkan wars of the 1990s and the greed and political corruption that followed, can thus be seen as a piece of corrosive social criticism, exposing a national psychology of sadism, misogyny and self-pity. That it may also be an example of those things is no contradiction. �That is cinema!� Vukmir exclaims as his masterpiece reaches its unspeakably savage climax. �That is film!� It�s hard to argue, even though this Serbian film is almost as hard to watch.

I think some might be giving the movie too much, or too little credit. I'm not sure yet. 
I Have No Intention Of Watching It Again 
None. 
Sounds Like Gaspar No� Movie 
Nothing you would want to watch on Christmas Eve. 
So Has Anyone Else Seen Louie 
I just got through Season 1, a bit hit and miss overall but I really like where it goes sometimes and how Louis C.K. seems to have total creative control.

Looking forward to season 2. 
Re: 4498 
Elba was amazing as Bell, but it's his businessman-like coolness in The Wire that gives him this big edge whereas there aren't so many black gangster roles available in wide-opening movies (despite real facts about how often a gangster in America ought to be black, not leonardo dicaprio). First they talk about Elba playing Bond (he'd be awesome) and then they talk about Elba playing Batman (again, he'd be awesome). But, awesome as Elba is it's like they're picking a black guy without any quote unquote black mannerisms or language which might alienate soccer moms.

Totally back to the subject at hand, I'll watch a serbian film, I mean I won't subject myself to shit that's disgusting for me to handle, beyond a certain point, if I'm convinced it has no point. But if the director convinces me it has a point I'll watch. Which leaves open the possibility of a giant hoax on people with this attitude... but whatever.
