Films watched recently... (CAUTION, SPOILERS)

Ness

In The Name Of The Father - Daniel Day-Lewis is the best actor of all time. Great movie.

Thomas

Jackass 3D

Extremely funny.

Watched Taxi Driver. The racist undertones really caught my attention this time and it's interesting. I wish I knew more about '70s NYC.

Wintermute

Yeah. Those undertones are part of the reason that make me go "Ehhhhhhhhh" whenever anyone is like "Yo dude, Travis Bickle is awesome." Interesting, yes. Compelling, sure. Awesome? Well, maybe not. Also meatheads who love Tyler Durden too much bother me as well, but that's a slightly different story.

traptunderice

I still say it's awesome. You have definitely an alienated dude yet it pushes to the fore as racist glares and an uber-violent romp against pimps. There's something there in all of it.

Wintermute

Oh yeah, the movie is still awesome.

DevotedWalnut

Get Him to the Greek and Predators

ok and meh

C_Chulainn

Just started Scott Pilgrim vs The World. Will try to get over my intense dislike of Michael Cera.

C_Chulainn

Ok, wooh, videogame references. Cool. This and the hipster chicks being deep and ironic TOTALLY make up for the lack of story and decent acting.

You'd have to be really dumb not to see a story in that movie. If anything it suffers from novel-->movie syndrome where there's too much story and characters so things move too quickly, so things like Ramona liking him on the first date seem very off.

Legacy_Of_The_Night

I actually picked up the first of the comics to see if it's be worth looking into and I had to put it down within the first 10 pages. Ugh.

noodles

I wanna read the comic book.

Legacy_Of_The_Night

Ugh.

Wintermute

You should definitely check out the comics (Oh hey, look at my avatar, blah blah) if you liked the film. There is a lot more "breathing room" between exes than in the movie, and there is a better sense of these being things that he has to battle throughout the duration of the relationship, rather than at the beginning. And none of the zany/weird/awesome stuff shows up in the first comic until the end with the dance-battle. Also the art improves throughout the volumes (practice!).

Goat

Yeah, recommending the comic of that (pile of spew of a) film to me is kinda like telling someone who doesn't like Primus that they should totally check out Korn. Unless you were being sarcastic...? :wink:

Knowing my taste in films and general awesomeness, guys, should I watch 300 Days Of Summer?

C_Chulainn

300 Days of Summer was surprisingly good. It wasn't your usual indie irony-fest. Worth the watch. Also, Zooey Deschanel :wub:

So no, I wasn't recommending it to you.

So yesterday I watched Robocop again. Always. Always Robocop.
