*sigh*

I love the Indiana Jones TRILOGY.

Did you hear that Spielberg? TRILOGY. I'm very very worried you're going to create a geriatric jones parody. Oy. It doesn't makekidskill it just makes me nervous.

Indaina Jones trilogy is classic!!

Hey evermin, did you ever catch that South Park episode where the gang went on their quest to save the Indiana Jones films from being re-mastered? :lol:

Ah that episode is classic!

Whirly - I had that Glasto pic on my desktop for ages - it was on last year's website I think.

Is the film up for download anywhere - can anyone help with a link - I got too much other stuff to source from abroad right now and cant afford the dvd right now. How much of Chems on it?

Damn, I haven't been seeing any films lately. Saw some clunkers not worth mentioning or remembering.

Caught the new Rocky sometime back - I've never been a Stallone fan, except for a few good films - he's no great actor of course, but have to say this film with all it's mush thrown in was a very warm and enjoyable watch - the down and out underdog does connect and I would say if you have nothing great to do it's definitely a very good one time watch.

Anyone got any views on the Illusionist? I've heard it's not a great film, but I like Ed Norton, so I think I'd watch it this weekend.

Saw Shindler's List yesterday. Funny movie, but sometimes a bit on the serious side.

Schindlers Fist is even better.

The Chems are in the Glasto movie for about 3 minutes... they do this weird thing where they splice together them playing... er, was is BRB, from like 1996 or 95 with them playing in 2002... it was weird, they'd cut back and forth and Toms hair would be short, then long then short again.

hahahaha, yeah. Was Hey Boy Hey Girl in the doc, for about a minute maybe a minute and a half tops. It was kind of funny. I thought "cool, they're showing more recent footage of the Chems at Glasto!" then it would cut to long haired Tom, same footage from the singles DVD, same Hey Boy Hey Girl. And through it all, Ed's hair remains the same.

All in all it's a good documentary. Don't watch it just to catch a glimpse of the Chems, get it because it's a good, living history of the mother of all festivals. I found it enjoyable and fascinating.

Whirly - no, I didn't catch that ...? I'll have to search for that one. If it's anything like the Scientology one I'm gonna laugh my ass off.

But just like the Star Wars trilogy, I like watching my VHS copy of the Laserdiscs more than the box set of "remasterbated" Star Wars. to my death: han shot first. he's a SCOUNDREL dammit. Hopefully Speilberg learned from the fan backlash on those special editions.

I've never seen the documentary -- worth getting, even with the amazing hair changing Tom? Who else is on it?

Primal Scream, Blur, Morrisey, Bjork, David Bowie, Prodigy, Nick Cave, Joe Strummer, Velvet Underground... there's a shitload of acts. Disk 2 has even more live performances... I can't even find a list online that shows em all.

Definately worth a rental at least.

check. I'll add it to my queue. (assuming they have the disc... hrm..)

saw grudge 2 - the worst 400 bucks i've spent in my life in eons - stay far away!

We saw Cloverfield last night. It was a rather decent and entertaining monster flick, complete with strategically placed one-liners. It captured the mass hysterical "what the fuck is happening?" quite well. This is definiely one that needs to be heard loud and seen on a big screen.

But a word to the wise: don't go see it if you have a hangover.

I watched Ghost Rider earlier. Wow, what a shit film.

@ Whirly. I'm a bit disappointed that Cloverfield is monster film. But appart from this I know what the creature will look like.

A little late as this was released back in December, but AVP R has to be THE best movie for stupid one liners ever. (Nudged on my Whirly seeing Cloverfield - I haven't seen it yet, shh.)

"People are dying; we need guns."

Not kidding - was there in the movie. Best stupid one liner EVER.

I love Cloverfield. It's Saving Private Ryan meets Stand By Me meets Gears Of War. Yeah perfect use of big screen and big sound!

Csar, Cloverfield being a monster flick is what makes it cool!! It's good fun (though too scary for my son to see much to his dismay). It's been a while since there's been a really good apocalyptic monster flick - the kind that kicks the old saying "there's nothing to fear but fear itself" up a few notches. To me it's a nod to all those old monster films that preceeded it like Godzilla, Mothra, even the story of War Of The Worlds. Cloverfield puts a new spin on the monster flick genre because it's filmed in a dizzying and shaking first person perspective so as you're watching, you become a character in the film. The hand-held style of filming is probably the most difficult thing to swallow in the movie, it is hard to watch - and that effect was intentional. There was even a sign at the movie theater box office that warned if you get motion sick, then do not see Cloverfield! Also, the absence of a soundtrack - there's no swelling of music during tense moments, no melancholy strings being played when people are dying. It's just sounds of panic, explosions, rumbling, screaming, feet running on pavement, breathing, and dust settling. Another thing that was well done about this movie is that since it is filmed in first person perspective, you catch glimpses of the monster because you're always on the run in a panic, amidst rubble and chaos and pandemonium. I won't give too much away but you spend your entire time in the film running from the behemoth monster because if you stop to look it in the face, the movie is going to end. The monster's allure - besides it's gargantuan, destructive and sinister presense - is the overall physical "WTF??" anonymity to its physique. I mean you do see it, but there "WTF is it??" factor still plays out heavily.

The more I think about this film, the more I like it. I was reading a brief review of it on another forum I visit and someone brought up an interesting experiment of viewing the film on a camcorder as opposed to a big screen.

Cloverfield is an amazing step forward for scary movies. I didn't think Hollywood had the sensibility to be truely scary... but Cloverfield squashed that notion. Scary is about what you DON'T see, and the claustrophobic one-man perspective of the movie was grrrreeeeat. Could've used a less cliche central plot and some more convincing actors.. but I really can't complain.

I wanna see it again :D

My take on the scariest moment from Cloverfield:

*walking through blackened subway tunnel*

"Wait, doesn't the camera have nightvision?"

"here, wait, let me see"

*fiddles with camera*

"RUN! JUST RUN!!!!!"

Oh yeah, and my review:

Imagine if, by chance, every single person who was in the World Trade Center when it collapsed had a video camera, and filmed everything, everyone there, the moment the buildings started burning, and the all realized they were gonna die, the people who were getting ready to jump out of windows to avoid burning, and even the fall itself, as they went down with the towers.

THAT is exactly what this movie feels like, only it's not 2 buildings and a few terrorists, it's the entire city and an giant monster. The monster is almost superfluos to the film. The horror of living the last moments of your life in absolute terror and hopelessness is the point of this movie.

Darker than a Lars Von Trier flick, it makes Dancer in the Dark and Dogville look like Mary Fuckin Poppins.
