feck sake. I got confused. I haven't seen Casanova.

Was lambasted in here which made it more appealing to me. Kashyap is an excellent movie maker
Hearing good stuff about Ang Lee's new movie, Lust, Caution.
Me too. I want to see that one. Coppoll's new one looks good as well.
Anybody looking forward to There Will Be Blood?
Hell yeah, I saw the previews and it looked really good.
The one with Heath Ledger? Was shite imo. Waste of time.
Judging the plot from the trailer, it doesn't look all that appealing IMO
DOOM
Stars: "The Rock", some other cnuts
Supposedly based on on the computer game "doom" in which you go about shooting up increasingly silly looking aliens, but in actual fact bearing no resemblance to that whatsoever. A team of soldiers are sent to investigate strange goings on at an experimentation lab on Mars (I think). Gradually, they all die/kill each other/get eaten, and there is much rejoicing.
Potentially interesting "is it wrong killing innocent people in order to protect others" issue ruined somewhat, due to being entangled with fight between hero, and super evil psychopath wrestler man.
Decent enough watch all in all. Couple of moments made me laugh ("what the hell is this?" in response to finding half dead monster welded into wall), though I'm not sure they were supposed to
6/10
Been listening to the California Dreaming song from Chungking Express

Yep, that's the good ol' UK.

Reign Over Me - Good movie except for Saffron Burrow's character. As gorgeous as she is her attraction towards Sandler was very weird and really came out of nowhere. And Adam Sandler is annoying in these i-am-so-dumb roles.
That was a quality movie and Burrows character was great. And yes her attraction to Sadler in the end was botched up by the director, should have been more towards it in the movie. I thought this was the only good performance by Sadler.
In the mood for love - Was expecting a lot. Failed to live up to it
I knew you wouldn't like it.
I blame you for bigging it up too much. If otherwise, I'd have found it more than worth a watch
It's a brilliant film.
You're just a kid.

Had the background score not been repeated ad nauseum it may have made it more likable
It does throw your pre-1980s notion out of the window

You've just got no taste. But I attribute that to the fact you're only young.
Which is why you're not on the panel. You would've spazzed up the top 100.

I can't list a top 50 of my own let alone judge a 100

Yes, unlike top 100 movie lists 
Watched 12 Angry Men and Stragelove yet?

In December, Salvo. I'm dedicating the whole month to films and games. . . as opposed to sex and drugs.
I'm really cool.
I'm really cool.
What if you focused on films and games about sex and drugs? That'd make you kind of cool.
I thought the background score in In the Mood For Love was brilliant. In fact it was one of the things that made the movie so good for me.
Shame that the sequel, 2046, wasn't as good.
12 Angry Men should really make those lists. The best movie from about that era that I've seen
Watch it while stoned and confirm if it takes it to another level, just as an additional exercise
I don't smoke anymore, Salvo. Drugs are for losers.
Fantastic score. He's definitely got a pattern to his films, though. Oh and the cinematography was the best I'd ever seen.
I can't wait to play the new GTA.
And to think I thought of you as cool
I drink lots of cappuccino, though. In fact I've perfected the art. . . I can get a really good foam on the milk, barista style.
I'm still cool.
I'm still cool.
I am going to watch Rashmore tonight after mehro's recommendation.
And later on Godfather 2, which I will be watching after 4 years or so.

Bet it all changed after you watched Requiem for a Dream
No. That just made me laff. Drug addiction by a completely gimp.
I started to watch a movie only to have the subtitles play a good 2 scenes forward
Godfather II is the best of the Godfather movies. I can watch it all over again anytime
I have yet to seen 12 angry men due to the fact I saw the Hindi remake of it and now can't be arsed to watch the original.
Same here. I can watch it over and over again.
I downloaded Casablanca today.
Didn't you miss out on Oldboy for the same reason?Yet to see that and Gone with the Wind. It's been kept around here
I downloaded saw Toy Story again today after another thread made me nostalgic. Still just as lovely
I really can't be arsed with Gone with the Wind.
Toy Story is fantastic. Two, I think is even better.

Yup, haven't seen it for the fecking length myself
Two is definitely better, still, forgot most of what one was about. Hence...
I'm off to improve my memory and relate them scenes to make my tedious ever movie watching hours. Will report later...
