The Official Movie Thread

Ah you're right, I forgot about Breaker Morant.



Ya flamin' galah.

 

[Slammed]

He's not quite like Bill Hunter who I think had a contract to appear in EVERY Aussie movie but Ray's been chugging away for a while now.

zodiac >>>>> se7en obvs

i like the pledge quite a bit

 

[Einherjar86]

Fuck, I totally forgot about Zodiac. That might be my favorite Fincher film. It's positioned at the sweet spot where his films began to assume this kind of vaguely artificial, shiny allure, but before they descended into the full-blown Hollywood sleekness of The Social Network.

Never seen anyone that high on zodiac

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i have Zodiak on BR but still haven't seen it. Heard nothing but good about it from others but i have a hard time believing it's gonna be as good/better than Se7en

 

[CiG]

For me I'd say Zodiac and Se7en are about even. RE Fincher: I hear many good things about Gone Girl.

 

[Einherjar86]

Gone Girl is very good, but I don't think it comes close to Se7en or Zodiac.

The reason I like Zodiac more than Se7en is its humor. Se7en is mostly humorless, exempting a few lines; but it does urban somberness extremely well. By contrast, Zodiac has a playfulness mixed with a brooding darkness that contrasts perfectly.

Also, the murder scene at the lake in Zodiac... so brutal.

 

[CiG]

Spoiler

Yeah that murder scene was disturbing.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

censor the spoilers you stupid cunts.

edit: you guys should already know what the consequences are for that kind of shit. Be prepared to go running and crying to the mods again after i spoil shit for you guys in the upcoming weeks ... maybe even months.

How adult of you.

I guess I should put TB on ignore for a few months, just to be safe.

maybe even years, who knows.

 

[Einherjar86]

Was that really a spoiler? The movie's based on true fucking events.

 

[CiG]

He was too emotional and triggered to actually think about it.

He'd get pissed if he were planning to watch a movie about 9/11 and one of us said "that scene when the towers go down was brutal."

 

[Einherjar86]

He was too emotional and triggered to actually think about it.

That's usually me.

Nice, i see the resemblance too ....

 

[CiG]

lmao.

@Einherjar86 what is it that ties those films together so they can be compared? That they're detective/serial killer films or is it that plus a specific tone or something?

I really liked Patty Jenkins' film Monster and if that counts it might be my favourite of this subsubgenre or whatever it is.

 

[Einherjar86]

It was the serial killer theme, yes; and there are definitely films I'm forgetting (Zodiac was one of them).

I actually never saw Monster--need to get on that. I used to be big into serial killer films. And I agree with no country, The Pledge is really good (dark as hell).
