1820s Tasmania
no, not sitting through that

Why not? That was one of Australia's bloodiest periods.

you should check out mister john sometime, it's british-made but set in singapore and really good and nobody's seen it. best aiden gillen performance i've seen too.

I think you've rec'd this before, sounds really familiar. FYI I think you would like A Land Imagined.

is The Towering Inferno a good flick? thinking about blind buying it.

Totally sweet 70's disaster movie with Paul Newman and Steve McQueen. I reckon you'd like it a lot man so I say grab it, total classic.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Steve McQueen? Sold

 

[CiG]

Bit of an all-star cast in general actually, a shitload of classic actors (even O.J. Simpson) and the director is the guy who did the King Kong film from 1976. But yeah I love McQueen myself, he enhances anything he's in just by his mere presence.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i think i've only seen two Steve McQueen flicks, The Great Escape and Bullitt ... and both were excellent.

 

[CiG]

I haven't seen too many more than you. Seen those two (both great), The Towering Inferno, plus The Magnificent Seven (amazing shit) and Papillon (also killer).

Time to get some more HK in my system.

 

[TageRyche]

I watched the bootleg cut of Almost Famous tonight from the Director's Edition DVD.

 

[CiG]

Watched Roma this morning, such a beautiful film! I woke up extremely sick in the middle of the night, so it was a good pick-me-up.

Pattinson is really pulling off that moustache.

Here's a picture of Andrzej Zulawski and David Lynch.

Did you like Paris, Texas by the way? One of my favourite movies.

Kings of the Road is cool too but a bit too existential and plotless for my tastes.

 

[challenge_everything]

Anyone else seen Parasite yet? Hurry up!

I loved it. First experiences are always unique but I felt no hesitation giving it a perfect rating on RYM for example. Always interesting to see how a movie holds up from first watch to second though.

Singaporean neo-noir/crime film? Fuck yeah I'll give it a go. Released in Taiwan late last year so I'm counting it for the 2018 game if it's good.

this movie poster is somehow making me imagine some USA movie studio eventually doing a re-make with no asian actors in it

Though I'd probably be against it, it wouldn't matter too much beyond the aesthetics.

Hyped as fuck for it but it doesn't premiere here until late this year.
