Last Film You Watched

[Rita_Poon]

Right, well, my meandering mind took me checking out film reviews and I found a pic that reminded me of someone on here who said they liked old pictures/films involving victorian era industrial scale cheek by jowl housing, iirc I put a link to 'Of time and the city' by Terence Davies - 2008, for consideration. Anyway I've backtracked through the film thread to find it but can't and I remember it fairly recent and went back over a year so I was looking in the wrong place and searches have failed me. A slight thought it was one of our aussie brethren that had mentioned it but I can't be sure.

The pic.

I did some independent research just now on Sybil, looked at images (with safe filter off). I have come to the conclusion that daily research will need to continue.

Yeh if you turn safe search off you'll instead find a famous Russian pornstar with the same name.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Se7en. Haven’t seen it in a few years - still holds up so well and has aged beautifully. One of my favourites.

Revolver.

I knew there was a reason I couldn’t be arsed to watch this years ago because of Guy Richie, it’s about as enjoyable as having your scrotum pummelled with jellied eels while someone shouts “slag!” in your ear. Ray liotta and Jason Statham are as equally shameful as the script. A pseudo intellectual mess with no charm and at best, meh, “action” scenes.

At least I know what sort of films Christopher Nolan would make if he suffered an awful brain injury.

Don’t you do it people, I’ve suffered so you don’t have to.

3/10

Switched it off after ten mins.

Not often I do that.

You’ve no idea how tempted I was to do that, I did that with the last Matrix film and am blissfully unaware of how putrid that looked like it was going to be. You’ve also no idea just how annoyed I am that I didn’t .

Is this your pitch for a 90 minute film containing this? I'll reach out to bannatyne...

Pig

I thoroughly enjoyed this, it was a very hard decision to push play because of the involvement of Nic Cage but at least 20 minutes of him not talking, getting beaten and then having his favourite pet taken I relaxed and felt payback for some of the awful fare he’s put me through down the years. Different and engaging

7.5/10

@Rita_Poon treat yourself to the first 20 odd minutes, it’s like therapy.

beaten on the scrotum with a frozen jellied eel? 20 minutes seems a timid response to the universes of harm he's acquitted himself in in pursuit of a few more dollars.

A window to the soul…Why are the eels now frozen?…
Anyway, Pig, it’s worth a watch especially with all that unpleasantness happening to him, just imagine he’s playing himself… beautiful.

Aus cinema. Lolita (Adrian Lyne, 1997), Romance (Catherine Breillat, 1999), Baise-moi (Virginie Despentes & Coralie Trinh Thi, 2000), Irreversible (Gaspar Noé, 2002) and Ken Park (Larry Clark & Ed Lachman, 2002).

A little research after some mild reading.

Brett Leonard’s Feed (2005) to Serhat Caradee’s Cedar Boys (2009) to Ben Young’s Hounds of Love (2016).
John Jarratt’s Mick Taylor in Wolf Creek (Greg McLean, 2005), Ben Mendelsohn’s Pope and Jacki Weaver’s Smurf in Animal Kingdom (David Michôd, 2010), and Daniel Henshall’s John Bunting in Snowtown (Justin Kurzel, 2011).

Got roped into some far out Aus horror and had quite overlooked ('animal kingdom' aside) some of the crime and punishment stuff made.
