What film did you watch last night?

(500) Days Of Summer

Thought it was very good. It felt a bit like High Fidelity, but obviously without the same sort of clear arc and happy ending.
 
currently watching Fargo. it was pretty good. until i got hit with the 'JA' and 'OH JA' bombshells. tis like after 45 mins the gloves are off and there is no relenting on the use of the words above. i mean okay this is meant to be an offbeat film but jesus, seriously, its almost made me turn it off. im just having a break about it right now to decide if i can be bothered to conclude.

its beyond redicolous
 
The Departed

Second time is probably as many months that I've watched this film, great stuff even if I still dont understand some of the early scenes :(

9/10
 
Death Sentence, amazing film! Love it, well acting, well directed, brilliant soundtrack. Just a shame it has such a deppressing theme. Watch, 10/10.

It's a local accent thing. :confused:
 
Just a quick question. How many of you do other things, for example writing in this forum, when watching films?

When I watch a film it gets my undivided attention until it is over, I just find it odd the amount of comments in this thread where people say I am just watching a film and it is OK at the moment. Obviously you need to stop films for certain things but stopping a fim to go on line or browsing while watching just doesn;t seem right.

Maybe I am getting old and don't multitask like the kids. :o
 
The grammar dude:

hm accent is the intonation on the words...

you could mean dialect? at a stretch it is dialectal colloquialism at its most backward.


but seriously, it was retarded. and it wasnt just dialect they went to town on it, big time in some scenes it was just, 'ya', 'oh ya', 'ya' but it didnt start like that. it was that pregnant woman copper who brought it in. if it had started like that i wouldnt have gotten through the first 30 mins.

Apparently it's to do with their being a large German migrant population in Minnesota, where the film is set.

yea it was blatantly backward. it wasnt even funny after the 50th usage of it. i got that part with the overly camp germanaic sounding dude working with the pregnant copper woman.

i just wanted to smash the tv in by the end, maybe do a stewie and fly over there with the sole intent of saying, 'thats not funny'. i was truly aggrieved by it. ruined a chance of a half decent film IMO.
 
Watched Fast and Furious last night.

Maybe worth a 5/10?! Enjoyed the first film, the second was worse, 3rd even more so, and this one, while better than the 3rd, I just didnt enjoy that much! Cant quite put my finger on why.

Small attention span of the modern generation, with the added social networking angle.
If i watch something i'm going to focus on it rather than be distracted.

Watched Se7en again last night, still a great watch especially when Spacey turns up.

In The Loop, didn't enjoy it. Satirical yes but basic and purile and not in a funny way. The selling point was the foul mouthed Peter Capaldi, after the first few times it was just tedious. Been there, seen it.
