Just watched Swiss Army Man.

Film The Redcafe Movie review thread
- Thread starter golden_blunder

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
I always tend to finish films I've started, one rare case when I didn't might have been The Turin Horse actually, heh.
So, I just went ahead and finished it last night, 5 hours ain't that much.
I've got so many thoughts but I'm kinda struggling to articulate them, throughout the film there were moments when I thought "is this all there is to it" only for me to be engulfed by the atmosphere or for the narrator to pop in with some beautiful clarity. Then the church bells at the end, my god, I can still hear them ringing. I think I'll be more able to say what I thought about the film when the ringing has faded away.
I'm feeling kinda disheartened now though seeing as this film was kind of a Holy Grail for me, the film I knew I really, really must watch. All I can feel now is, whats left?
Is John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness any good- it's on tonight. I saw it anout 20 years and have faint memories of it being a bit dull and underwhelming.
@pauldyson1uk @Dirty Schwein
Also, Grimsby is on Sky Prem now. Is it shite?

I have not see it , have been meaning to watch it, going to finish 12 Monkeys tonight and get on it.
PoD is on Zone Horror at 9pm. Seem to remeber when we were around 13/14, my mate's dad not wanting us to watch it -he normally didn't give a shit what we watched. We obviously did, then wondered what all the fuss was about.
Not seen 12 Monkeys in years. Was alright from memory.
Very happy to be promoted. I love this place and I've been following this thread for years
Gegen die wand (2004) - Short summary from imdb: Cahit is a German Turk in his 40's. He has given up with his life after his beloved wife's death, and he's living a miserable life right in the core of cocaine and excessive drinking. One night, he semi-intentionally crashes into a wall. At the hospital he's taken to, he meets a girl, Sibel, another German Turk who's tried to commit suicide. She's sick and tired of her family's ultra-traditional issues, and asks Cahit to carry out a white marriage with her out of the blue, so that she can become a married woman and get rid of her family's revolting pressure.
First movie I've watched in a long time since I've been pretty busy. It all felt genuine and it's the kind of movie everyone will enjoy. Loved the non-conventional ending and the turkish setting and music.The stabbing was a bit too far for me. I'd have liked it if they had played that change in a more subtle way
If I'd known you were a film ponce I'd have blocked your promotion. Where do you stand on the Sharknado series?
I think Prince has some good scenes but ultimately there is something missing. It was a good idea and the imagery is great as usual.
Hmmmm.... best movies ever 10/10 I loved that part with the shark and the tornado. Glorious stuff
Just say they're shite #FilmPoncePride
Yep, that's my somewhat hazy memory of it.
Alice Cooper makes a cameo. I'm going to watch him in concert this coming Tuesday.
Is he a creepy hobo? That rings a bell- weirdos start coming to the building (sounds like it's drifting into Assault on Precint 13).
He must be about 70 by now. You're on a right old school concert charge.
See the legends while they are still around.
Don't blame you given how busy the celebrity death thread was earlier in the year.
not the film , the TV series, very good, I will check out PoD.
Yeah it was great, wasn't it? Knew you'd like it.
Next you should do The Exorcist. Five episodes out now, which is plenty for a good binge session.
Prince Of Darkness is quite boring. Not aged well. Brothers Grimsby is a pile of shit.
Cheers. Sacha Baron Cohen has been on a remarkable decline since Borat.
I saw Sausage Party and it was pretty good overall. It's basically the Toy Story formula slightly tweaked, but it works. The one thing dragging it down was the comedy writing that consists almost entirely of the supposed shock of foul-mouthed food and one long, extended knob gag. Sure do that crude stuff but a little variety is not going to kill you. The food torture and orgy scenes are great though.
Also watched Eiichi Kudo's 13 Assassins which like Miike's remake works best in the pre-battle first half. I much prefer the focus on strategy, character intimacy and the final showdown in the original but the battle scenes in the remake edge out the original's in terms of spectacle. They work together pretty well as a pairing.

Ah, not seen the series. Am half-watching PoD. It's slow.
only managed to turn it on now, been too busy, They Live is on next
PoD is ok, not much more. Your favourite is on after They Live!only managed to turn it on now, been too busy, They Live is on next
nasty filmShite film. A Serbian Film maybe worse I guess.
Yes literally.
Speaking of such, after PoD they had an ad for the upcoming debut of Cockneys v Zombies. It defo overachieved on RT.

yes I saw that. might give it a watch.Saw that film. Wasn't impressed
Looks like it might be mildly amusing if you've just ambled back from the pub pissed at half eleven, but beyond that, I get you. Bit of a one joke film no doubt too- @simonhch summed it up nicely earlier when he said sometimes you just want shite watchable escapism rather than multi-layered Joycean complexity, but given our shared fondness of horror, we both know that!
Margaret - A spectacular mess. Wildly ambitious, flawed, you can tell it's been butchered by the studio...but it's still quite a memorable film. Anna Paquin is insufferable but totally believable as a neurotic self-absorbed teenager that doesn't know how to emotionally react after a trauma in post 9/11 New York and thus lashes out at everyone. I even liked Matt Damon in it...an attractive and good-natured math teacher is the role he was born to play.

Robocop on Sky Action. Must be two months since I last saw it. Maybe I shower in the morning now.
That's possibly the worst trailer I've ever seen.
It's a song, not a trailer, omg.
Showgirls - You know what, with a little more effort and anyone other than Elizabeth Wiseau in the leading role, it could have been a really good film.
Behind the love of eight hour Syrian hand-held cam refugee indie films you still love a Verhoeven romp.
I do like my subversive cult films, it reminded me a bit of but didn't quite reach the great heights of another misunderstood film in Spring Breakers.
Not really sure what was going on with Kyle MacLachlan's hair in this one, it sort of had a life of it's own.

That film is a car crash from start to finish.
Downfall
About the last days of Hitler.
I was not sure about watching this only because it was sub-titled, it was a hard film to watch, even more so towards the end and the killing of the children, but WOW what a film.
Bruno Ganz has Hitler was outstanding.
I would say this is a must watch film.
10/10

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - was showing at the old revival theatre near me, a beautiful 4k print. It's a lot longer than I remember and at times a little dull and it spends too much time with Tuco who is the least interesting of the three. Also, Clint Eastwood isn't blonde, no matter how many times you want to say it.
It's not really all that great.
For a Few Dollars More is the best Clint/Leone western for my money.
