Saw Shutter Island last night. Cool film! DiCaprio does it again (although his character in Shutter Island has far too many coincidental parallels to his Inception character).

Scott Pilgrim looks like a film that'll piss me off. Looks like it's going set the cause of videogames being taken seriously back by about ten years......

But I'll reserve judgement until I see it, because I'm just speculating.

no film NEEDS to be seen in the cinema. I have argued this many times on here.

choices

1. in a rammed cinema surrounded by knobheads eating popcorn and talking / using their mobiles

2. At home, 6 feet away from a 40"+ screen, with DTS surround sound.

I know where I would rather be.

I saw inception at the cinema the other week. It was good. not outstanding.

[Wooderson]

loved all the cast especially the girls

Avatar in 3d in the imax was amazing

i think as well that watching a film at home, to a lot of people, means food and chatting

I think you'll enjoy it. Did you get around to reading the books? Any fan of the books will think the movie is a triumph.

From what I've experienced so far, this is what watching a film in the cinema means to a lot of people aswell

If youre a gamer the first 5 seconds of Scott Pilgrim will give you the biggest shit-eating grin.

OK just been to see Scott Pilgrim. Was out on a bike ride, passed the Odeon and thought "f*ck it" and watched it.

Good laugh! Loved all the Zelda music!

I agree, crowded cinema, with uncomfortable chairs - the backs arent high enough if you're tall

i much prefer watching films at home, that way I can pause it and have some food etc and come back to it when i want

that is why people say films are better at the cinema, because at the cinema you stick with the film till the end

I watched One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and last night, brilliant film but what I liked most about it was suddenly loads of parodies/homages from other films/shows I've seen over the years came back to me and finally made sense.

I watched Robin Hood yesterday. What an absolute pantload. The first half an hour or so was okay, but after that there were so many inconsistencies in the plot line that it became frankly laughable.

I mean, he goes back to Nottingham after ten years and nobody there realises that he isn't the same bloke. Had everyone in Nottingham who had been alive ten years previously left, forgotten what he looked like or died? Rubbish.

And the bit when he unlocked the memory of his father being dead. He just shut his eyes for thirty seconds. Is that all you have to do to unlock repressed memories?

And the battle at the end. C'mon, where did all those people appear from out of nowhere.

And the kids in the forest, wearing the hoods. What was the point please?

Totally agree, could have been very good though but sometimes it looks like they filmed a load of random scenes and edited them together.

Least convincing film I've seen in a long long time.

Has anyone seen the Runaways?

Tempted to go and see it but the cast reads stupid annoying bitches though.

[rabid]

Hooray for Trolleywood

Bound to be some corkers coming to a supermarket shelf near you.

We watched Four Lions tonight, really good. Very funny in parts but also very sad. I thought every part was well played and I thought they did well to relate to the characters and forget that they are actually suicide bombers. Not your typical Chris Morris humour but there are a good few points in it where you can tell it's his film.

Now from that I'm going on to watch The Expendables.

The Expendables, exactly what you'd expect. Highly enjoyable and lots of blood and explosions. No real story but you can almost smell the testesterone (steroids) through the screen.

Saw Scott Pilgrim last night and I honestly can't remember being so entertained watching a film - perhaps even one of my favourite films ever. Never read any of the books. I can't wait to get it on DVD/Bluray but I fear I will be disappointed. Its a film that really should be seen at the cinema.
