saw that recently too. Awesome film, really beautiful but it has this "stench of death" over it, which makes it even more compelling. Audio floating around? like, you've heard it? i didn't think it ever got out...

yeah someone emailed me the audio a couple of years ago and i listened to it, was a bit gruesome but after seeing the movie i really want to listen to it again.

Post by **breaksRbest** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 6:51 pm

I saw that doco too, but why anyone would want to listen to 2 people being torn apart and eaten by a Bear is beyond me

go and hire Faces of Death if ya wanna see that kinda shit

man + bears = disaster waiting to happen.

lets say i go live with lions for a month. how long before i am devoured? or maybe i should go on to beat the alpha male of the pack in unarmed combat and lead them until another young upstart defeats me.

skinny asian lad vs lion. hm.

Watched Shaun of the Dead the other night. Thought it was a good little low-budget comedy-horror film. It's not super polished, but it had scenes to make me laugh and moments of suspense.

Yeah I want to check it out to. I watched on The Movie Show, there was a mini interview with the director/writer can't exactly remember what he said, but he definately came up with some great answers such as, "If your not a smoker, walk away then." And "People/we know the effects of smoking, but people still choose to smoke.."
Something a rather.

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 4:05 pm

yeah he also said that its shit how smokers are publicly berated as in >

you dont go up to a overweight person who is shoving a twinkie into their mouths and say 'how can you eat that, you know your gonig to die if you keep eating that shit"

yet nobody has trouble saying that to a smoker.

its our/thier choice.

gold. i want to see it.

Hardy · Post by **Hardy** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 12:52 am

Just saw 2:37. Wasn't bad, a bit slow and I thought it was pretty predictable, but it carries a very valid and important message.

mecka · Post by **mecka** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 12:53 am

And that message is that the cool kids in high school will always be cool.

i dunno i'm just guessing now

Can't fucking wait to see Silent Hill, will prolly go tomorrow.

Maybe I had SUPER low expectations but it was quite good I thought. Not as scary as I expected but I thought the story wasn't bad (considering the fact that it's based on a video game!!) and the effects were pretty nice too.

Maybe it's cos I thought Rhada was a cutie on sugar and spice and my opinion aint changed much in the last 15ish years!!!

I'm going in with low expectations too, but i fucking LOVE the SH games, and always thought the stories and concepts of those games would make a great movie. I also believe it would be difficult to translate it faithfully, so we'll see..

No, the message is that Ollie is a stupidhead.

and the most artistic way to convey that message is - oo lets think - a video assignment confessional - cause its easier then developing complex characters and in today's post modern unironic ironic media stupor its easier to rattle off in-depth spoken to the camera vignettes instead of having a great script and an orifinal idea.

the director sounds like a suicidal failure.

dumb idea done by a fucken do-gooder, really badly.

Watched Primer on the weekend

about a group of enterprenurial guys who meet in one of their garages in their spare time trying to invent the next whiz bang technology.

two of them are mucking about with magnets and develop what they consider to be a viable new power source. Instead they find that with a little modification what they have actually invented is a time machine.

This is an indie movie and was made on what appears to be a pretty small budget, and what I have to say is this.

It was great.

Hard to follow because the plot gets bloody complex (especially towards the end), and so in part ends up being a sort of sci fi mystery. The guys keep traveling back only a few days in time and so they have to be wary of not running into themselves, or messing with causality. Certainly not a new idea but it is accomplished very well.

really really enjoyed this movie, and I would say it requires at least two, but prob three sittings to fully understand what happens in the movie. Alas I only got to watch it 1 1/2 times, so I'm still a little in the dark as to the chain of events towards the end (mainly because the characters are involved in numerous chains of events occuring concurrently - in short it messes with your head a great deal)

I gave this 2 3/4 liberty bells.

realising what they've built is a major part of the primer experience...

but it says what they have built on the back of the DVD cover.

I don't think I've given anything away.

sorry If i have though, I was trying to not be a plot spoiler.

depends on whether you were convinced by the way the students were portrayed as suicidal and if the plot/ character development was a good script or lazy technique.
