The "I Just Watched..." Thread

[Despair]

Watched Blade Runner: Final Cut on hd dvd with dj, since he never seen this film, and been asking me to get that.

wow, it looks phenomenal in high def. and still a great, visionary film, after all these years. it just amazing how much influence it had on the sci-fi and futuristic cinema in the 25 years since its release.

Today I saw Doomsday, and it was glorious Easter present for me. My comments in the official thread. See this NOW

Past 3 movies I saw in theaters (no threads about them on TNL):

The Bank Job - Enjoyed it. Solid movie, but I'd recommend a rental. 7/10
Horton Hears a Who - Surprisingly funny. 7/10
Funny Games - WTF kinda movie. I don't know whether I liked it or not. Lots of bizarre moments. Twisted humor. 6/10

Iron Man, Batman, Indiana Jones, and all that good shit can't come soon enough..

You guys know it's only black people who do it but are afraid to admit it.

It is pretty much black people, but here in south Texas the Mexicans do it too. That's why I like going to the Alamo Drafthouse, they will kick you the fuck out for being obnoxious.

I watched MST3K of some finnish version of Jack Frost.

Black people are more than welcome to make stupid comments about a movie like that when it plays in the theater.

Except it's not just the stupid movies.

Pitch Black in HD. I haven't seen this since the theater, and man, I still enjoyed it quite a bit. For a low budget movie, it delivered great visuals, cool creatures, and one bad ass character in the face of Vin Diesel.

I also liked how un-pc it was, with kids and characters you wouldn't expect becoming fish bait.

They even had Crikey line

Escape From New York- Awesome as usual
No Country For Old Men- Also awesome
Hudsucker Proxy- Not the Coens' best work

Southland Tales

My comment: WHAT THE FUCK !!!!

I am not gonna pretend I am lover of art cinema, nor I'll say I can understand every idea thrown at screen, but again WTF had happened here. Why was Rock, Stiffler, Lambert, Lovitz, Gellar were in the fucked up excuse of movie. Like a stew of ideas thrown in and mixed in a pot without any regard of how they can possibly work with each other, it desperately rushed from one thread to another, entangling and confusing itself more and more . I am sure, director will say that its all a grand design to this madness, but I bet almost no one outside his own, self brilliant mind, would "get" it.

It was BAD to the tens power. But I just kept on watching, compelled to see how this can possibly end. And what an ending that was: nothing.

What did you expect?!

[Despair]

Something that maybe makes even a bit of sense? Not only to the director, but the actual viewer? I wonder if actors had any idea of wtf is happening in it, or just went with the flow.

Rock did had some great presence, his fingers got such a workout, and his: "I am a Pimp. Pimps don't commit suicide" is a classic.
