Nice one, boss.

Salvation · 22nd July 2007, 12:05

I might finally watch Grindhouse today

Spoonatov · 22nd July 2007, 12:17

What type of download is it?

Salvation · 22nd July 2007, 12:18

Got it on a bootleg, is a very good cam rip

Spoonatov · 22nd July 2007, 12:21

Why don't you hold out for a better download? I only bother with DVD rips, to be honest.

Inland Revenue's due for release as well, in a couple of weeks.

Oh and is Videodrome worth a watch?

Downloads in my internet speed would take ages. Have to rely on DVDs

I know what you mean though. But Tarantino films are hardly a visual spectacle

Personal thing, but a poor quality picture spoils it for me.

Salvation · 22nd July 2007, 12:44

Yeah, I'm on the same boat mostly. But Grindhouse, since I'm sure it won't release in here (atleast not soon) I couldn't resist getting my hands on it

The Pianist for example, I can't imagine watching it on anything less than a DVD print

Haven't seen that. I'm not a Bigelow, I have yet to see a decent film from her.

Alright a couple more for you.

'Three... Extremes'

http://imdb.com/title/tt0420251/

and 'Last Life in the Universe'.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0345549/

cinc · 22nd July 2007, 13:10

I've started downloading Three Extremes, cheers. Sounds very promising.

Spoonatov · 22nd July 2007, 13:11

I haven't seen it yet, though, Cinc. . . tell me what you think of it.

Better than 'Bird People in China', which should be completed sometime this year.

Not bad.

A friend of mine says that the first perfect movie he has ever seen is "No Country for Old Men" by the Coen Brothers. He's seen it at Cannes this year. The trailers do seem mouthwatering...

The reason I post this is that I've just found the script:

Is Barton Fink any good?

cinc · 22nd July 2007, 16:08

Not really. It is decent with a good cast. This friend is rewatching the whole Coen catalogue now, and says that he doesnt understand where this fantastic piece came from.

cinc · 22nd July 2007, 16:09

But it won't be out until early '08...

I'm guessing he doesn't rate the Coen Brothers?

The Big Lebowski and O Brother, Where Art Thou, were very good, I thought.

He does rate them now. Those were good, especially O Brother. Big Lebowski is the kind of film which is fun watching with your friend drunk or high.

Can you give an over view of what it's about, too long to read right now.

cinc · 22nd July 2007, 16:15

By the way, this friend made that short I've shown to you.

From wikipedia: "The film follows Llewelyn Moss, a man out hunting near the Rio Grande who comes across a drug deal gone sour — leaving behind a cache of heroin, two million dollars and several bodies. When two more men end up murdered, the local sheriff realizes Moss and his wife need protection. Things turn dangerous when various men, ranging from ruthless freelancers to ex-Special Forces members, turn up to find out the truth and destroy all evidence."

Spoonatov · 22nd July 2007, 16:18

Yes. Has he any other planned?
