IguanaDon? Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 A Scanner Darkly it's 8 years from now into the future and there's a new drug around " Substance D " This film's basically what I'd class as a stoners film for a good hour or so. and Waking Life Dream within dream perspective. Lot's of long conversations about the universe, life, yadda yadda. I loved it. I definately enjoyed Waking Life alot more than ASD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Snakes on a Plane This movie was everything it promised. See it on the big. See it with friends. See it even if you're a sellout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicManiac Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Bargain bins at the El Target are often ripe with some action gems for under 10 bucks. Picked this one up and enjoyed it alot again on Infinfilm's dvd. It has guns, murders, fires, car chases, shoot outs. It has DeNiro and Burns.

IguanaDon? Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Human Traffic again. A great British flick. Sometimes I get the feeling it's way over directed, it's a flaw that I find annoying. Now and again I just start thinking " This is trying to be smarter than it really is, now. ". A good film none the less, and is sometimes very underated.

Reverend Jax Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Last great film of the ninties? That's bullshit. 1999 was liek the best year for cinema in the past twenty years. Incredible films were coming out right up until December. American Beauty, Being John Malchovich and Fight Club were all exceptional 1999 fall releases. PS It was the snakes!

IguanaDon? Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 You think I agree with the tagline ? :/ not a chance. You're right, there have been some killer films from '99. Human Traffic isn't even in the top 50 I don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Snakes on planes, finally saw Jarhead last night, thought it was pretty cool for an honest look at the desert strike engagement. Tonight, im hopin for either syrianna, lucky number sleven, or the three burials of something something per 2T's recommendation, tho im prolly gonna wait to watch that one with Sen. I was wanting to see King Kong, but i dont have 5 hours open tonight. PS Sonny - props on Waking Life, its an amazing philosophy piece that i never really know who to show it to that'd dig it (think about it, there's hardly any plot to speak of, just surrealistic dialogue). I think DoJ and some might dig it, glad it got another viewing...that easily coulda been arthouse wank, but i think it did great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IguanaDon? Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Infact, it was due to you 'n some others having a discussion about it here. I was on ISO hunt like a movafucka. And you're right, I dunno what to say to people when I recommend it. " Um, yeah.... watch Waking Life " " what's it about? " " People having long discussions about life ", that's about all I can say. Anyway, last film I saw was Slackers, same director again. Enjoyed it, but still isn't near Waking Life hahah. Even though they're on two different levels.

Senshik Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 The End of Suburbia And let me tell you, it's scary. It's a documentary about our world's peaking recource of oil and how it is going to effect our suburban/"american dream" lifestyles. Sometime between 2010-2020, we will most definitely reach that peak. The film depicts our societies to be very dependent of this resourcea nd if we don't try to acomodate ourselves fro that time period in which oil will be scarce, then we are in big trouble. One of the plans to deal with this issue is the idea of New Urbanization. A new community in which our society will live, work, and relax in. Still though, that idea will take time to adjusting in our current lifestyles. The transition might be harsh on some people even impossible... I sincerely recommend this film.

Ganny McVagflaps Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Awesome, awesome movie. A 10 year old girl from Crenshaw enters the national spelling bee. And Booger from Revenge of the Nerds is her principal. And Laurence Fishburne is her coach. And Angela Bassett is her mother. And Laurence Fishburne doesn't punch Bassett in the face once. As for "Human Traffic" I'd call it one of the worst movies of the '90s. The taxi-driver scene is class though. I don't know if I ever finished "Waking Life" it's been so long since I watched it. I do remember it being boring as fuck. Nice visuals though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicManiac Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 2 I saw last night and a couple of thoughts on each... Brian DePalma's attempt at Hitchcock... haven't seen this in years and it was on cable... I realized 2 things while watching this... 1.) This movie could SO be made again today and be really really good. 2.) I want to play a round of Body Shots with Melanie Griffith. _________________ also, a "Hitchcockian" approach in movie twists and plot. 1.) I personally loved it and thought Anniston was beautiful and Owen brilliant. The ending rocked. 2.) I want to play a round of Body Shots with Jennifer "Vaughn" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lycaon Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Domino What a load of dribble. Heh, watched it with my girlfriend and she fell asleep. When she woke up, our conversation went a little like this: Me: "You missed Keira Knightley's topless scene. Oh, and Tom Waits made an appearance." Her: " You didn't wake me up?!" *pause* "Who's Tom Waits?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this in theatrs, too... HOwever I don't remember it neding in someone giving head then us nodding off. Ummm wow.. i had something here.. but for some reason it just floated away... Oh yeah... I think Rent was the last movie i saw in the theaters. And I saw "Take the Lead" on DVD (If you fuckers laugh ill kill you all). (Covers coming soon). On the 22nd a local movie house is playing "Wrath of Khan" on the big screen. So that will be the next one I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfire Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 (edited) Severance. Its about a bunch of English people going on a business teamwork weekend to Hungary and then people start getting horribly butchered. This film makes Hostel look tame in terms of sheer gore plus its hlarious. The best thing about it is the humour is real subtle and situations which wouldnt normally be funny (just disgusting) are hilarious but then again im a sick bastard who cheers and laughs obnoxiously when people get offed in these type of films. Plus the god of all blokes Danny Dyer is in it! The fact that he's in it is reason enough to go!

The NZA Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 haha... a dumb comedy of LL's that Sen was big on seeing again. This is the mockumentary for all b-list actors to make a few bucks, and have some fun at it...was worth the watch for the sheer madness. "go get his busy bee! GO NOW!! YOU! LOOK AT ME!!! STOP LOOKING AT THE FREAKS AND LOSERS, LOOK AT MEEEE!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfire Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I've heard about this and it sounds interesting. If you were to compare it to a movie in terms of humor, what would it be? I dunno. Danny Dyers humour is the same typecast stuff he does in his other movies (drunken, drug-addled london geezer) but he does it well. The humour is slightly similar to shaun of the dead actually. You might think different but thats what pops into my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
