Sam's Thread of Chattin' w/ Jake & Other Robust Subjects

[Diet Soda]

The whole trilogy over a few hours was a chore. They turned off the air-con, presumably so everybody there could experience their own Summer of '72 in New York. I hear it was really fucking hot so people went the cinema and stuff.

Same problem at our local flicks. They must've made a rake in drinks and ice cream sales that night.

More annoying though was the moron sitting next to me who insisted on quoting aloud lines several seconds before they were spoken, all the way through SotD and HF. Not even punchlines, just small bits of expositionary dialogue.

Did you watch it at a Vue cinema?

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I too was sat by one of those geeks who said lines seconds before they happened in the film. His name is Gary and he was my friend. The clapping during SotD got annoying as well.

Yeah, there must've been a Vue memo going around telling the staff to sweat the customers into buying those Tango Slush Puppy thingys. They really just created more trouble for themselves. It stunk of sweat after Hot Fuzz. That ain't leaving screen 1 anytime soon.

 

[Diet Soda]

Wasn't so much clapping for us, rather a lethargic "whey".

By The World's End I was gagging to down a pint of lager. And I hate lager, was just that hot.

[Y 2 Jake]

Rubbish, tagged-on ending, right?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Oh, very much. Liked the smash cut to the credits though.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I've never known anyone to just watch the cutscenes from the game. In fact, had I ever considered it a possibility, I would have thought Jake would be the first to do it.

Works rather well. I may never play a game this type ever again.

Choose not to watch it if you want, bt you will be missing out on a pretty badass DC universe movie

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

You looking forward to Snowpiercer, Sam?

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm a big fan of Chris Evans and Korean cinema but the trailer looks like utter garbage. Pity.

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

South Koreans make some good films, but they can't make trailers to save their lives. You'd think by the looks of the trailers for movies like I Saw The Devil and The Host that they'd be utter garbage. It'll be interesting to see what kind of trailer is made primarily for the English-speaking world.

Leon won't be on there at the end of the year but it's there for the time being to encourage the other films to buck their fucking ideas up.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

I was thinking about Leon yesterday, and how much I'd really hate to see a Mathilda film now.

Also, the scene where Oldman's character (I want to say Stannis but I know that's wrong. Stanfield?) takes pills in the toilets of the police building; for years my sister thought that he was ingesting them up his bum. Can't unsee.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Hopefully it wasn't the extended edition. Knocks two stars off a five star film that.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

I'd say the Donnie Darko directors cut came close to taking more than 2 stars off for me.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Not seen it. But now I have to. If it takes at least two stars off my five star rating I'll be having words with you.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Seems fair.

 

[Uncle Sam]

It was the theatrical cut. In fact, I think it was an original print, which would explain the rough as a bear's arse quality at times. That said, I think I prefer the extended version. What scenes does it add? Leon and Matilda 'cleaning' together and the scene in the restaurant where Matilda tries to seduce Leon? Yeah, that's my preferred version.

I didn't know a film about obnoxious beautiful people could be so dull. Sofia Coppola really has mastered the art of making a ninety minute movie seem three hours long. Points added for Emma Watson, the only thing in the entire movie that lives up to the billing.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Of age now, isn't she? Ohh yeah!

I have The Smurfs 2 to look forward to this week.

I'd be a lot more enthusiastic about Frances Ha if I could remember a single damn thing about it the second I stepped out of the room. It's basically a straight to video Annie Hall, though that's a weird thing to say. The dialogue isn't quite as clever as it thinks it is.

Of age now, isn't she? Ohh yeah!

As if that would have stopped a sexual opportunist of your stature.

I have The Smurfs 2 to look forward to this week.

See? Exactly.

To close to call.

Either of you ever get the Royal Rumble anthology? Snazziest box/packaging of them all.
