is that a general question or to me personally?

To you of course. I rarely ever ask general questions because most people suck.

I thought it was really a let down, Nolan is in my opinion an amazing director that tells a great story that is really in depth but Inception to me was entirely face level with barely any depth..There wasn't any real point to the movie and I honestly didn't have a lot of interest in the whole placing an idea into someone's mind without them knowing, because they never really went into the side details of how crazy that is and how much it really affects someone. But this was also in a gay military theater in Korea, with bad popcorn and crowded so I will definitely give it another go when it's on DVD...but definitely a let down so far

Since you brought up your country, you ever have the good fortune of meeting Chan-Wook Park(IMO one of the top 5 best directors)?

 

[rms]

Never even heard of him, but have heard of his films Thirst and Oldboy..hes that awesome eh?

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

He's phenomenal. His cinematography is impeccable alone.

Oldboy should be at the top of your list next.

 

[Psychonaut]

Severence - Very enjoyable black comedy.

 

[challenge_everything]

Has anyone seen Four Lions yet? I practically shat myself laughing.

 

[unknown]

I personally liked Band of Outsiders better. haven't seen many others though

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Piranha 3-D
So bad it's good

Recently watched Repo Men.

Was a lot better than I expected.

*somewhat spoilers*


Real Brazil-esque ending too.

 

[unknown]

I really wanted to see that, and then everybody I know who has seen it said it was shit

I'll probably end up watching it

just watched the director's cut of Dark City on blu-ray and also watched the interviews and bits afterwards. goddamn that is such a good film. and roger ebert is ridiculously smart. listening to him talk about the film in connection with Sir John Soane and Daniel Screber, both of whom I had never heard of before, made so much sense and was so fascinating

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Just about to watch Zulu again. Always a good way to spend a couple hours.

Might've been the fact I went in with crazy low expectations, but yeah. I really enjoyed it.

 

[panzerfaust666]

I thought it was ok. My main problem with the movie was with how it jumped from one thing to another , so unclearly. Also it looked really cheap, i.e. the car's.

But the SOUNDTRACK! now that was awesome

Prairie Home Companion is pretentious self-fellating Hollywood cinematic wankery.

EDIT: But it does get pretty funny after the first hour.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Machete. Fucking win.

Garrison Keillor is coming to speak on my campus. I've heard he's an asshole in real life
