rocket_scientist Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Southern Comfort, cracking movie available on BBC i-playa right now. I dare ya, I double dare ya, to agree with this assessment. Now let's guess who will run to his support, shall we? A film for morons, badly acted, with zero plot, zero start and zero end. A film for the feeble-minded who have no love in their heart. To recommend this shite to others is tantamount to a patent display of self loathing, where some of us saw the signs all along. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Is that it? Dear fuck. Well, I liked it, cracking movie. Anyone who agrees is a fucking god!! Quote

Kowalski Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 Watched Sleeping Beauty the other night (nay the Disney version). Part soft-porn, part pretentious clap trap. Wisnae too impressed. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 A Prophet, French movie set in a prison. Pretty good. Quote
glasgowdon Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Watched "die Welle" on Wednesday. Certainly watchable and something a bit different. Quote
Cowie Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 Just watched senna on sky... engrossing & well worth watching if you have even a passing interest in F1. Quote
manc_don Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Posted March 19, 2012 Just watched senna on sky... engrossing & well worth watching if you have even a passing interest in F1. Cracking film, do not watch hungover though! Quote
tlg1903 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 Just watched senna on sky... engrossing & well worth watching if you have even a passing interest in F1. So glad i saw that in the cinema, when it got to the later stages of the film the on car camera shots were amazing! Quote
Tyrant Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 I watched Clockwork Orange last night. Love that film. Unlike Darren Mackie I'm planning on reading the book too. Apparently the book is more brutal and violent. Yas. Quote
fatjim Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 I watched Clockwork Orange last night. Love that film. Unlike Darren Mackie I'm planning on reading the book too. Apparently the book is more brutal and violent. Yas. The film finishes a bit short of the ending in the book and doesn't have the same moral stance. However seeing the film helps with the understanding of the book especially in terms of the use of Nadsat. Very good book and film though. Quote
Tyrant Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 I read that too.. although at the end of the film it does imply that he's no longer cured. I gather the book goes into that a bit further. I love the dialogue. Genius. Kubrick is the only director IMO my opinion who betters Tarantino when it comes to scenes made enjoyable just by the dialogue. Having not read the book yet it may be that most of this credit is due to the book's author Anthony Burgess. Quote

Having not read the book yet it may be that most of this credit is due to the book's author Anthony Burgess. The film implies that he will go back to his old ways. I believe that the glorification of the violence in the film was a problem for Burgess. They British publics' reaction to it was a big factor in Kubrik withdrawing it from release in the UK until his death. The first time I watched it it had dutch subtitles. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 Can't remember enough about the film to talk specifics but the book, which I read first, in my teens and a decade or two before I caught Kubrick's film, was an immense read. My overall impression of the film was less than positive. Quote

My overall impression of the film was less than positive. The film is class. The book has a deeper and darker message overall though. I like the song "drencrom velocet synthemesc" by campag velocet which is sung in Nadsat. Quote

I like the song "drencrom velocet synthemesc" by campag velocet which is sung in Nadsat. I've got the book but never read it. The Nadsat language put me off. How much does it affect the reading of the book? Quote

The first time I tried to read it I gave up because of the Nadsat. there was a glossary at the back of the book so you could find out what was being talked about. I couldn't be arsed flicking back and forth but as I said after watching the film I totally understood the Nadsat. The copy I ended up reading didn't have the glossary and I didn't need it all. I just understood it. Quote
