Films

[modey]

Just been to see 'Looking For Eric' (I think it's called)

Excellent new Loach film, funny, moving and ....wait for it...

uplifting.

[worm]

A very 'phallic' moment that. *wonders what Freud would make of that*

Lost Boys 2: hooked me in by playing Airbourne's "Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast" over the opening credits. Was mildly entertaining, but the ending was a bit gash 5/10

My Name Is Bruce - F*cking hilarious! Bruce Campbell is a legend 8/10

[sifi]

Lost Boys 2 upset my sense of happiness and wellbeing. I'm pretty sure a third is in the pipeline as well - Corey Feldman has something to do with the funding so he can be blamed! I love Lost Boys - it's one of the coolest, most timeless films ever and the second one was just... pish.

Toy Story 3! Whoo hoo!

I thought it was poor as compared to Near Dark which was released the same year, as far as I can remember.

[sifi]

Lost Boys 2 came out last year or maybe 07.

Near Dark is the best serious attempt at the Vampire film I've seen. But that's not saying much. I've decided to title the chapters of my Vampire novel by the title of Vampire films. All very post modern.

p.s. Sifi, I caught the Milton programme. Was canny. He gave a very straight forward analysis. Mind, he put it all together very nicely.

Finally watched Let The Right One In.

Referring to a couple of pages back;

thought the title was in reference to either the old folklore (that caused her to bleed when she went into Oskars flat uninvited), or that its a reference to who Eli lets help her.

Apparently a lot of the 'riskier' elements of the book were cut out too, like the concept of a 200 year old and a 12 year old forming a relationship.

Superb film. I'm not usually too big on vampire films, but this was excellent.

I think I came out of the Milton thing liking Iannucci more than Milton ....

[ste4_20]

in the book

he was a paedophile from what I heard.

I'm going to watch Spartacus at the cinema today

Coraline> Silly, probably good for tiddly winks.

A Life Less Ordinary> Silly, probably not good for tiddly winks.

The Tale of Despereaux> Great for tiddly winks, not bad for adults who are childish like me.

Freedomland> Predictable but good.

Do you like movies about gladiators?

[pinback]

Sure - I particularly like that era of history too, the Great Slave Revolt, Pompey Magnus, Cato, all that

Ever seen a grown man naked?

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?...

Bugger, I just realised Spartacus is on next week, not this week.

There's not much else on other than Star Trek, is there?

Looking For Eric is good.
