Watched Argo
Good movie, not sure it deserved best picture, but I liked it quite a bit.

In Bruges...really liked that one.VinylGuy wrote:i watched Seven Psychopats instead.
Great movie...the Vietnamese story is brilliant. Good ending too...i really liked Woody Harrelson and Colin Farrell.
Wanna see In Bruges again after this one.

Agreed. I fucking hated that stupid ass hour-long action sequence at the end of Inception.Whitey McTeeth wrote:I like Source Code better than Inception.

Re: What Movies are you watching?
I think Nolan generally does action pretty well, I just wanted him to delve more into the story of DiCaprio's character's mental state. I thought the stuff about him and his wife losing touch with reality was the best part of the movie. That last action sequence could have been cut in half.red calzolaio wrote:yea! action sequences suck ass!turned2black wrote:Agreed.

Re: What Movies are you watching?
the action in that movie is so meaningless. armies of guys attack them constantly and get extremely close, yet can only hit one guy. its comical. It gets so tedious by the end.red calzolaio wrote:interesting. i was never one to care much about character development and storytelling...in the past.turned2black wrote:I think Nolan generally does action pretty well, I just wanted him to delve more into the story of DiCaprio's character's mental state.

I felt like I missed something. Was there some sort of dream rule that says the mind's defense system really sucks?

Bleeder is surprisingly good, have you made it through the Pusher Trilogy yet? That shit is next level.VinylGuy wrote:The Sleeper....boring horror flick with really bad fx.

Re: What Movies are you watching?
Watched Django last night. What a fun movie. Just great. However, once Leo and whats his face (Jew Hunter) were taken out of the film, it went down hill. Or, just barely sputtered through the finish line.
Overall pretty great flick though.

Re: What Movies are you watching?
I will say though, that whole dinner table sequence at Candyland is probably the best out of the two movies. Arguably of course.

Re: What Movies are you watching?
I preferred Django. Yes, the end wasn't great, but I still like its pacing more than IB. I also like the performances in Django more. DiCaprio and SLJ were fantastic and Brad Pitt annoyed the living hell out of me. Django was so much fun, all the Candyland scenes were amazing and the KKK scene was pretty fucking hilarious.
For the record, I don't intentionally try to have the opposite opinion around here.

Re: What Movies are you watching?
Django is on-deck for me. Will probably watch it this weekend.
Just recently watched "Searching For Sugar Man", a documentary about a forgotten singer from the late 60's / early 70's who was huge in South Africa, but had no idea. It's a real interesting story. I'd give it two thumbs up and would highly recommend it to any fan of music docs.

Check it out. It's well worth it. I liked it so much that I bought 'Cold Fact', his debut album, after we watched the film.red calzolaio wrote:really been wanting to see this.darth_vedder wrote:Django is on-deck for me. Will probably watch it this weekend.

Re: What Movies are you watching?
This is also on deck for me. Hopefully I can watch both Argo and Django this weekend, but, I'm going to a Nats game Saturday, and Sunday is supposed to be nice, so I may grill / hang out outside.broken iris wrote:Watched Argo

Re: What Movies are you watching?
I watched Django with my dad last night. I'm starting to enjoy hanging out with the crusty old bastard.
The movie was excellent, I went in prepared for a disappointing ending and it wasn't as bad as I though it'd be. DiCaprio played a great villain, Candy Land was a pretty horrifying place and I've seen areas in the 'Sip that look just like it.
I was ready for the movie to be over by the end though, it was a long one.
