Yeah, reading Paps thing comparing 4 films, if youāre stuck in an office job, paticulalrly IT related then you must watch Office Space, we all know a Milton
Office Space is my fucking life.
Loads of bosses? Check!
Onerous paperwork? Check!
āCan you just go ahead andā¦ā (aaaargh!) Check!
Iām also about as credible on rap and hip hop as Michael Bolton.
Birdman. At turns minimal, pretentious, emotive and artsy. So right up my street, basically. A solid 8/10.
Unfortunately it loses 8 marks for featuring a scene in which Edward Norton (visibly aging - at bloody last) gets off with Emma Stone. No justice in this world.
Woah. Watched this last night. Bucksā review is pretty much spot on. Excellent film - loved it.
That scene wil stay with me for a while.
Top man. Having read the brilliant reviews after watching it, I was fascinated to learn how the director fought to get funding for years. He resisted giving the big studios artistic control (they wanted to cut 30 minutes and make lots of other changes).
It could well become a cult film and I am planning to watch it again soon (though not that scene ).
Me and the Mrs started to watch Year One last night, the ācomedyā with jack black and Michael cera from 2009. It was awful. Genuinely one of the worst things I have ever seen. We turned it off after half an hour and stared and the carpet instead, which was infinitely more amusing and entertaining.
Has anyone seen that new Coen Bros movie? The trailer makes it look like Fun Movie, like Big Lebowski or i.e. O Bro Where Art Thou, but Iām worry if I go see it, itāll turn out to be one of their Other Sort Of Movies, which aināt sposed to be Entertaining, cos theyāre mostly just trying to Learn you a Lesson.
Itās like I was watching Inside Llewyn Davis last night cos it was on tv, and I think I understood it, i.e. there was that one scene where heās driving through the snow and he sees a sign to where his son lives, and he knows heās at crossroads, and needs to make a decision, but he doesnāt, he just keeps driving blindly into the snow, and even when it results in near car accident, he doesnāt realise heās made a mistake. And I get that. Itās sposed to be Metaphor for his Life, but if movie is gonna require using ur Brain to Figure Things Out, I would rather not do that in Cinema. I will do that at some point in future, when I happen to catch it on TV.
fk you cunts, I shall watch it myself and Find Out. But if I go to the cinema and Learn Something, I will be v.angar, and I will be coming for you cunts srs.
Fucking cinema? You bender.
And watch Bone Tomahawk, Bearsy. Itāll be right up your street.
Finally got around to watching Argo. A tense, serious treatment of a very tumultuous time. Way to go, Mr Affleck. The scenes at the airport are something else.
Totally this. Was excellent when I enjoyed it a couple of years back.
Saw āHail Caesarā last night Bearsy, Itās ok. Iām a Coen Bros fanboy, but it didnāt really work. Great cast and some sublime set pieces, and references to 50ās Hollywood. It just lacked a focus and drifted. Poor Coen Bros is still better than most dross
Okaaaaayyy.
Never saw that coming.
So Maze Runner is a Zombie Movie Franchise kick off? Ho hum. (Note to self - read more Teen Targetted Angst driven Literature)
Watched Runner on a plane while eating lunch (that or repeats of Top Gear - shouldda watched Top Gear repeats) - started to watch Scorch Trials - fell asleep.
Went to see Spotlight yesterday. Not the greatest film ever but you could have heard a pin drop at the end and it does what it sets out to do perfectly. Some really good performances in it too. Given the subject matter I can see why Morgan Freeman face showed that element of surprise when he read out the name of the best film oscar winner.
Anomalisa ⦠Itās an animated movie written and directed by Charlie Kaufman. Kaufman is the most inventive and original writer in Hollywood. His last film tanked at the box office, so he had to make an animated film. Itās genius though and simultaneously thought provoking and just stays with you after watching.
