strange that this topic would ask this question seeing as though i go to the rental store everyday of my life.

last movie i watched was prime. it was alright.

Today I bought an absolutely beautiful made-for-video move called 'Ninja Terminator', 28 Days Later, and a 3-in-one Bela Lugosi dealy with Invisble Ghost, Scared to Death and White Zombie. All for under a tenner. I also ordered Dark Star.

Fun DVD watchin' times ahead.

The last DVD I watched was Where the Buffalo Roam. It's about Hunter S. Thompson and his life. Well, during the Nixon administration anyway. Stars Bill Murray as Dr. Thompson and Peter Boyle as his lawyer.

Season 1 of House!

God, I love this show. House is such an ass . . .

a few quotes:

Dr. Gregory House: Chicks dig this
[waves cane]
Dr. Gregory House: It's better than a puppy!

Dr. Gregory House: You know me. Hostility makes me shrink up like a...
[pauses]
Dr. Gregory House: I can't think of a non-sexual metaphor.

the last ACTUAL dvd i watch was either transporter 2 or mirrormask. I say either because, even though I watched transporter two more recently, I wandered away inthe middle, and that makes mirrormask the last movie that I watched start to finish.

I say ACTUAL dvd because the other day i watched a bunch o' Fullmetal Alchemist on dvd

Just got MI-5 (or Spooks) seasons 2 & 3 for an early birthday gift.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #106 on:** 10 Jul 2006, 14:24 »

Man, I did not even know they had Spooks over in Amerikhuh, let alone under a different name.

I used to be addicted to that show, but then the cool guy left and it was never the same.

Hmm...
last two I saw were "Ghost World" and X-Files Season1/Disc4.

Ghost World = awesome. And Thora Birch (well, her character, anyway) is pretty bitchin'. Self-destructively so, p'raps, but whatever. I can relate.

And a remarkably good batch of X-Files episodes. The one about Amish-a-likes who are actually Aliens who transmute between genders was nifty. Though I hope Chris Carter gets over his habit of using the "FBI agents chasing characters in abandoned factories" shtick in every episode.

I saw Akira Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress, and it was pretty damn good. I really wish someone would make a proper orchestral score for it. I absoluted hated the music in this. It was very silent film-ish. Other than that, the plot was brilliant and Mifune has to be one of my favorite actors of all time.

the rabbit proof fence. about half-aborigine girls trying to get back home, and based on a true story.

it was interesting, and i think i want to learn more about australian history now. honestly though it was not as emotional as i was expecting.

and a movie that i rented semi-recently that totally made me cry - man i tear up just thinking about it: nobody knows. also based on a true story, where a mother basically abandons her kids in an apartment for several months and nobody intervenes.

i LOVE that film!!
last dvd(s) i watched was the omen trilogy
i found out that one of my new housemates had never seen the originals so i had to make sure she saw them she agrees with me that the decapitation in the first one is her favourite scene too!!

You'll find it distressing. We've treated our indigenous population absolutely appallingly. The worst thing is that we continue to do so - the amount of slyly institutionalised racism still inherent in Australian indigenous affairs is enough to make my blood boil.

But back to movies... On the weekend, I picked up copies of Mad Max 2, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, and The Crow. I hadn't seen the last two before, and I hadn't seen MM2 since I was a wee tacker, so I was looking forward to them.

I haven't watched The Crow yet. MM:BT is fun, and visually it's pretty arresting, but it's nothing to write home about.

Mad Max 2, though... This movie is an absolute gem. Some of the most spectacular stunts I've ever seen in a film, and because there's pretty much no special effects used (just modified muscle cars and trucks smashing together in the Outback), it doesn't look particularly dated. I can't recommend this highly enough. Now I just need to find a copy of the original Mad Max.

Netflix just sent me Shane McGowan: If I Should Fall From Grace, I'll be watching that tomorrow night, I went and saw Goonies at our flashback movie Thursdays! God I forgot how good that movie is, and on the big screen!

Sin City. Man, I've never read the comics, but I wasn't so hot for it. There were some memorable sequences, but I honestly got bored watching guys save hookers for over two hours. My biggest issue was that it seemed like all style and no substance -- pretty cool characters, but with no emotional grounding to get invested in them.

I also watched Disc 3 of The X-Files Season 1. It's good.

I still haven't watched Frida and Joe vs. the Volcano which I got from the library. They're overdue on my brother's card, too. I'll try to watch Frida tonight, but... oh well.

OMG RUYIIII YET ANOTHER REASON WHY I <3 YOU so much!!

Dare mo shiranai (Nobody Knows) made you cry

! Just the very thought of it makes me want to ball up and hide in a little corner where I'll just sob my eyes out. I can't believe it was based on a true story, as well. And this sort of thing happens all over the world. GAH I hate negligent mothers and how cruel kids can be to one another.

PS: Ruyi you would probably like "All About Lily Chou Chou"

.

Anyway, none of that.. :O...

Last movie I borrowed/watched? I honestly can't remember, it's been so long since I've actually rented a movie and watched it (bittorent *cough*). The most recent one would probably be Anchorman, since it was the ONLY DVD my brother brought on our trip to Asia. However, I'm going to see Little Miss Sunshine tomorrow in theaters, and that's a much better piece of info to share, IMO <3.

cakeandsoda!! · « **Reply #118 on:** 11 Aug 2006, 10:44 »

i rented Green Street Hooligans and L'auberge Espagnole. very recommended! especially the latter, it's not particularly quirky and 'magical' in the vein of french movies that people have come to expect from the overused precedent of Amelie, but it's entertaining and completely captures what it means to be european, or more strictly, a young adult.

'hooligans' was quite good, i really like elijah wood as a tough guy! and the whole english premiere league tiffs and rival history was super interesting, though i haven't gotten into football since my fangirly 'darren fletcher!' junior high days.

Sweet.

Ghostwriter · « **Reply #121 on:** 25 Aug 2006, 12:47 »

House is pretty cool.

The last two movies I watched were Kill Bill vol. 1 and 2. Totally self-indulgent and over-the-top with style, but I liked them for that. Nothing thought provoking, but definitely fun as hell.

I just watched Walk the Line. It was pretty good, though I wondered did Johnny Cash have a hare-lip or is that just how Phoenix looks?

Agreed, but I thought Gender Bender was kind of silly. Kind of plot-holey too. Actually, it kind of just seemed like a stupid cautionary tale for not having promiscuous sex with strangers in nightclubs.

Lazarus was an awesome episode though, especially because of the part when the bad guy is threatening Scully and he says "I'll make you stone cold" in that growly voice. That's a cinematic gem of writing, folks.

I just finished watching Fight Club. It was very awesome. I'm going to watch it through again to see if I can find the subliminal Tylers and the penis at the end.

Last movie I bought was the A Better Tomorrow trilogy. They had a box set for 25 bucks. Haven't watched the third one yet, but the first one and the ending scene of the second make it worth the price. What can I say? I'm a sucker for Hong Kong Blood Opera.

I watched Night Watch this afternoon (thank you netflix) It's a very interesting movie. The direction is superb, and the story is quite intersting. I'll be happy to see the other two.

Up to episode 4 of Season 3 of the Wire. Pre-ordered it as soon as I found out it was being released in the U.S.; it finally arrived Monday last week and I watched through it all (12 one-hour episodes) in three days. Now I'm watching it the obligatory second time around, at a slower pace, to appreciate it more and pick up on the subtleties and the things I missed the first time around - which in the Wire, is always a lot.

BEST. SHOW. EVER.

Last DVDs I bought (bought two on the same day) were Misery and Dreamcatcher. Misery I completely and absolutely love, Kathy Bates was just genius in it, and it's one of the best movie adaptations from any Stephen King book (My poor master of horrors, has to watch as his books get slaughtered every damned time...) Same for Dreamcatcher, the acting is just so great and I fell in love with every one of the main characters

Bought: Lord Of War. Great movie

Rented:
Lucky Number Slevin. Awesome
The Transporter. In the words of Alfred E. Nuemen, "Yeeeccchhhhhhh!" I couldn't finish watching it it was so bad.
The Omega Man. Charleton Heston kicking zombie ass in a post apocolyptic world? Yes please!
Brotherhood Of The Wolf. I loved it.

Watched: Ronin. Man that movie never gets old and the gearhead in me always goes nuts during the car chase with the Mercedes 6.9.

I just bought X-Men 3: The Last Stand. It plays a lot better on the small screen than it does at the movies. Some of the deleted scenes were really good as well but I can see why they would have messed with the pacing and direction of the film.

I've also been catching up with the first season of Carnivale, my brother is getting me season 2 for Christmas so I have to be up to date. I HAVE TO BE!!!!
