Func_Msgboard: Film Thread.

Posted by Shambler on 2003/05/11 15:08:47

I thought a trio of themed threads about other entertainment media might be good. If you're not interested, please just ignore the thread and pick some threads that interest you from here: http://celephais.net/board/view_all_threads.php

Anyway, discuss films...

Is there anything, anything at all in the world, that you really, genuinely like? Other than yourself, of course ;-)

there's not much around that doesn't have a single flaw. And it's helpful to sum up what doesn't work. This doesn't mean you don't like it (most people actually think it does, and feel offended and/or irritated).

That said, most stuff that tries to appeal "to the masses" simply doesn't work for me. An exception might be your mum.

If You Can Put Up With B/w

and foreign stuff and can actually find this, Larisa Sheptiko's Wings is a phenomenal post-war soviet drama set in Russia with the main character an ex-army pilot who misses the war and the purpose it gave her life.

Easily slots in to my top 20-25 movies I have seen.

Yeah - all the people are wrong if they take your pointing out only the flaws of stuff as being overly critical / negative. I wonder how anyone would get that idea!

Seriously, I don't really care either way, I just noticed that you're always negative about pretty much everything. I just hope your super high standards don't make you a lonely guy ;-)

Excellent. Nice. 10/10

Soleil Rouge/Red Sun

Some just about average western with Charles Bronson (somehow I do not like him, he's got a weird face and appearance, almost like the clown Klaus Kinski. I just cannot take his characters serious. Once upon a time in the west would have been even better with a better actor for his role in my opinion.

Red Sun has more wrong with it than just Charles Bronson. The tone is all over the place. Ursula Andress looks hot though.

#3252 posted by Spirit on 2010/04/25 09:46:28

Yes and yes. I think The Unforgiven is next.

Sleepwalker

#3253 posted by megaman on 2010/04/25 10:54:23

yeah, right.

as in The Unforgiven with burt lancaster and audrey hepburn or Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood.

Latter is excellent, former I havent seen so would like comments if you're seeing that one.

Did you see "Midnight in the Garden of Good And Evil"?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119668/

That was one of the few Eastwood films I really disliked. That and "Flag of Our Fathers".

#3261 posted by Spirit on 2010/04/25 22:36:16

Ok, watched it. 7/10 or something for me. Too 80s/90s/US-american/Hollywood. Very trying to build up, I almost called it a day after 45 minutes. A lot of silly profanity, *yawn* soundtrack, manly ending. The pimp kinda looked like metl.

I Didn't, Yet

#3262 posted by ijed on 2010/04/26 00:57:33

I used to watch a lot of films and listen to a lot of music. On music I was the guy to ask for a while.

No time any more.

One of my 'new years' resolutions is to one day go through this thread and watch everything Nitin has rated over 6.

If that's Eastwood's iconic shit film then he's not failed yet.
