The Official Movie Thread

Black Dynamite, fuck yeah.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Just saw Falkenberg Farewell. Strangely, the soundtrack and general pace reminded me of The Assassination Of Jesse James. I was kinda depressed by it, but in a sweet melancholic way. There's almost something angelic about the ending.

Saw Shutter Island last night and enjoyed it quite a bit, though I definitely need to watch it again.

The whole nazi concentration camp/shutter island metaphor is also pretty well laid out, and the overall amount of layers through the movie is pretty cool.

Does anyone else think it's possible that Teddy/Andrew could/was sane?

 

[unknown]

that's basically what I think is the point

SPOILER ALERT

that he came to the conclusion that was insane, realized it, but realized he didn't want to continue living in that world, so he fakes being insane in the last scene so they'll lobotimize him hence his closing lines

 

[Srontgorrth]

Yeah exactly, he would much rather die a good man than live like one of the ghost/monsters which they were trying to create. And he would also finally get to go into the other lighthouse.

Watched All Saint's Day. Not as good as the first one. Nice cameo by Robb Wells.

I hated the end of that movie. What really would have sold it for me would have been a bit more ambiguity. I would have loved one line (and one line is all it would have taken) that perhaps insinuated that Teddy actually was sane all along, and the establishment convinced him that he was insane. In my opinion that would have made a much better film.

interesting

 

[Dak]

I agree with Patrick.

@ TB: Yes it is.

 

[Dak]

I just realized that a guy resembling Zeph appears as the credits begin to roll on the first Boondock Saints.

 

[Badbird]

I would want to see this NOW.Funny to see guy look like Zeph.

I didn't like the ending at all (even more so since I predicted it by just watching the damn trailer). That being said, I found it fitting that if he was insane he wouldn't want to live.

Saw most of In The Loop last night. Was rather great.

 

[rms]

I saw that movie flying back to Korea, was just...nothing, not that funny or interesting or anything

 

[Satanstoenail]

Maybe it helps to have watched the series or something. Did you see any of The Thick Of It?

 

[rms]

oh wow it's a series? never even heard of it

 

[Satanstoenail]

Yeah, it's really good actually

My favourite line from the series is when Malcolm describes somebody on the phone as "as useless as a marzipan dildo."
