I thought this one was beautiful too look at too. The young Aussie cinematographer Dion Beebe won an Oscar for it.

I watched Wedding Crashers last night and it was fuckin horrible. Funny in some parts, yes, but wooden performances by everybody aside from Rachel McAdams, Owen Wilson and that crazy girl. Totally cliche boring ending.

Also... probably going to see Renaissance at Nova tonight.

Didn't realise that it's been screening in Melbourne for the last month.

Tonight I watched:

Final Destination 3 - Not as good as FD2, but still very cool.

Slither - Fucking LOVED it! So wrong yet still funny.

Saw An Inconvenient Truth last week. It's a bit of an "al gore" show but the facts are clear and well presented.

I would consider myself a fairly environmentally aware person but this has shocked me in to action.

Everyone should see this.

yeah its pretty rad...

Watched crash for the second time last night... is still rad, love that soundtrack... some farken star performances in that film (duh)

also watched the first ep of the new Soprano's season the other night. had never seen it before but i think now im going to buy some of the previous seasons. Very impressed! mmm it seems quite complicated but was pretty good to watch, nice cinematography.

watched 'the five obstructions' today. pretty cool. lars von trier gets his mentor to remake one of his short films five times with different 'obstructions' each time, such as no edits longer than 12 frames, shoot it in cuba, etc for the first one, and then having the director be the actor in the second. interesting enough.

Just watched Thank You For Smoking and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Both were very enjoyable.

Downloaded a screener of The Black Dahlia as well but one look at the quality and I decided to wait until I can see it on the big screen. Or get a DVD rip.

James Ellroy deserves better. The man's one of my literary gods.

Demonstrated aptly by this quote:

The Onion wrote:That must be something you deal with all the time: people confusing your characters' racism for your own.

James Ellroy wrote:You know what? Call me racist, and call me a xenophobe, but I'm not wild about Arab terrorists. I think they're a bunch of camel-fucking motherfuckers. And I want to make fun of them, because I'm a bad guy. And anyone out there who doesn't like it can kiss my ass. It's saying it that's so much fun. I'll admit, in some ways, even though I'm 56 years old, and dare I say a great artist and a wonderful human being and all that, and reasonably sensitive, there's just some part of me that's immature, that likes fucking over people and pissing them off.

Goddammit i love James Ellroy.

Went and saw An Inconvenient Truth tonight and it's the first movie i've ever been in where not one single person got up to leave at the start of the closing credits.

Checked "It's All Gone Pete Tong" in a post-mushroom haze on Sunday - very good flick.

Based on a true story (well, loosely) of a DJ in Ibiza who loses his earing - and then overcomes all this and learn to mix via vibrations and visual cues, very interesting and pretty funny.

Anyone else seen it?

gb · Post by gb » Wed Sep 27, 2006 3:19 pm

Watched "You and Me and Everyone We Know" last weekend. Has anyone else seen this? It was pretty bloody funny, but some really weird black comedy elements as well...

gaz · Post by **gaz** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 3:22 pm

having not seen an anime for a while, i got out 'Spriggan' the other night. Great action-save the world-fight- film and tops animation and backgrounds. Good anime.

Heh, that saying- it's all gone Pete Tong is a fave of one of my good friends. Made me smile when I saw it on the shelf

Werd! I own that on video.

I also have to get a copy of Fear of a black hat. Classic.

I saw Joe had CB4, so excited it's on DVD!

Watched The Five Obstructions last night, Jorgen Leth is my new hero.

We also watched You and Me and Everyone We Know which was sensationally twisted.

Both get 4 out of 5 shiraz's.

Lars Von Triers can be a bit hit and miss though.

Obviously this time he's a hit.

I'll give it a go.
