I'd always presumed this thread was of US origin. 'MOVIE'. Who says that? (In UK)

[leyenda]

It's been adopted like a lot of Americanisms. Watching Braveheart now. Seems like a Scottish version of The Hobbit so far. Mel Gibson's such an ass

Well, last night I watched 'Lost Highway' for the first time..



I'm not sure how i've never seen this before and now I feel like i've been missing out all these years. Absolutely amazing film - nothing has drawn me in as much as this did in maybe 8 or 10 years! It's just so good!
The first half had my skin in an almost permanent state of goosebumps and that hasn't happened to me in donkeys years.
This fucking guy.

The fear thankfully started to subside around the time of the Henry Rollins and Lieutenant Gruber (from 'Allo, 'Allo) cameos but the intrigue continued to increase. Who did what? Is this real or a dream? Is she dead? Who or what is the mystery man?
Classic Lynch (creepy set design, lighting, soundtrack, style) but, imo, with a more Noir edge to it.
Loved it and Patricia Arquette was very well cast in this.

This film has easily shot up into my top 20 films of all time! 10/10

[DRTY]

strong words, gonna watch!

[Laszlo]

I honestly don't think you'll be disappointed.

Proper bo.

Ides Of March

Gosling is a fucking don, only a matter of time before he gets an Oscar.

[Laszlo]

Ides Of March is one of the driest, most unengaging borefests i've ever had the misfortune of watching.

Gosling is 75% retard, only a matter of time before he gets an Oscar.

[NickUndercover]

TBH I thought Ides of march was great.



Both great, I love Malick's take on movies but I think I've had my share of ethereal voice-overs for the next few weeks

[Johoosh]

Anyone else seen The Great Gatsby?

[NickUndercover]

Yeah, found it shallow and uninteresting . Didn't like Carey Mulligan but then again I don't like her in any movie. Jay-Z's music didn't do the film any favour either, it's about the age of JAZZ ffs, if they worked so hard on the settings, costumes etc why not just play good old jazz songs ? I think you should go see it for yourself but don't have crazy expectations

You read the book?
I thought Carey Mulligan was one of the better things about it. Tobey Maguire was meh as was DiCaprio.

The anachronistic music i didn't mind so much, it worked better with some songs than others: the Emeli Sande - Crazy In Love cover was decent, but Flux Pavillion - I Can't Stop was a step too far.

Visually yeah it was fucking gorgeous if a bit obvious. Luhrmann seems to have sacrificed any subtlety for the visual extravagance. Missed out some crucial bits near the end as well.

[EliteLennon117]

Gatsby was not that great of a movie.

[hubb]

Mel Gibson's such an ass

Amazing director, great actor and a remarkable tnuc.


Laszlo - any Lynch is mandatory watching.

I would recommend this -http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082933/ if you loved lost highway.
