It's surrealism.

I have never seen it. Try it out, though, you never know.

1 or 2 segments are ok, but the rest is filth. Can't remember which one is good though.

I think so. Bloke with the short hair, looked geeky. I agree, he's fucking rubbish.

Personal opinion that, though. I'd rather check them out and make up my own mind.

Yes.

Just checked it, Brick is Steve Carell. I like him a lot, he was great as a Daily Show correspondent, and he is even more great in the Office(US).

he's not any good in movies though.*

1408. Horror film apparently, suffice to say it didn't do much for me, that said, it did make me chuckle a couple of times. Action was too fast paced, like all horror films. . .in fact most Hollywood films, thesedays. No idea why it's so highly rated on imdb. I have come to the conclusion they're all gay.

golden_blunder · 4th July 2007, 23:01

I've downloaded 1408 fuckhead, it better be good

Just watched 'The Pathfinder'

Premise: Indian woman comes across a crashed Norse boat, finds child on it and raises him as an Indian. Fast forward 18 years or so and the Vikings are back killing the Indians. Cue the now fully grown halfbreed killing loads of Vikings. This movie annoyed me. The Indians spoke perfect English for the camera whilst the Vikings spoke their Nordic language.

4/10 - i wish he'd fallen off the path.

It's average.

I reckon you'd have to be a right thick cunt to find it any good.

Transformers - Almost rubbish.

Spoonatov · 4th July 2007, 23:29

I have any idea for a short. . . but you'll all think it's crap.

mehro · 4th July 2007, 23:38

Do tell.

mehro · 4th July 2007, 23:48

I had an idea a few days back while I was in class. Something to do with insomnia and getting fucked in the head. I managed to write down the idea on the back of a notebook. I hope I still have that notebook because I don't remember much of it and I really wanted to write the damn thing properly.

I keep thinking of writing but get lazy. Was much better when I was in school. Wrote stuff for the newspaper all the time. More out of necessity than anything else since I was the editor and had to fill the pages with something.

Most writers think that. I have and idea too, it is a good premise, but don't know how to move on.

It's a sci-fi dystopia involving drugs, surfs and it is a bit orwell-ish. Not in quality obviously

Just watched it, rodriguez's segment 'the misbehavours' was mustard, 'man from hollywood' was o.k and the other two segments were average...all in all Tim Roth did a good job and delivered absoloutly outstanding comedy..

but that apparantely was 1995...i wonder why he failed to develop into an outstanding comedian

Would have to be at least 30mins, surely? I was thinking more like 5-10mins.

I've had mad convoluted ideas before. However, for a short, I was thinking of something more simple. Like picking a normal subject and visualising it..

Reign Over Me. I enjoyed it, especially the first half.

Really don't know. In a draft I've made it has reached the 2/3 point in 15 pages, but I have no idea where to go from there.

The problem with that, that it'd be mad expensive.

I'll upload a friend's short when I get home(I'm on a mini-vacation), I'm curious what do you think of it.

Excellent, can't wait to check it out. Hopefully, you'll have some naked Hungarian babes in it as well.

Spoiler: there's not way Saffron Burrow's character would be intertsed in Sandler's character, though. . . And Cheadle's a quality actor, albeit one with huge and wide nostrils.

crappycraperson · 5th July 2007, 21:22

Saffron Burrows was brilliant in her cameo though. Her and Cheadle had some cracking scenes together.

Salvation · 5th July 2007, 22:37

Always thought Cheadle was underrated

Saw Abre Los Ojos, on the the long recommendation of Spoony and thought it was quite mint. The screenplay could have been a little more organised

Had I known about Cryonics previously then it would've been absolute ace, which I reckon you did Spoons

Yeah, I think most people in the West are aware of it. Watched Persona last night, I really enjoyed it, but I didn't fully understand it. Think I'll need to watch it again, at least one more time.
