That's uh, nowhere even near it. I mean it's a horror film, come on.

But thanks for giving me an excuse to bump.

I have to say, this sounds like a movie I want to watch, so I looked around, using >>45 's keyword search link as a starting point. I found one potential that also includes the keywords "back injury", "back rub", and "fellatio" on top of the triple-keyword search I started from.

"The Opposite of Sex" from 1998.

I gotta say, the woman looks a damn lot like my memory, but that's about the only thing in common it seems to have with the movie I'm looking for. The guy, for starters, didn't look like that at all, and I think the movie happened during winter.

Oh and then there's this...
>16-year-old girl
>gay half-brother
>seducing his boyfriend

Yeah no

>>378
Well, you said you didn't remember too much, so I don't know WHAT to rule out.

apparently the woman that worked there was a former Suicide Girl.

>>351
That's interesting. I'll have to look into that.


Anyway, as far as the thread is concerned, I am definitely a fan of the show. I watch it anytime I can. Chumlee cracks me up!

As a rule, I despise reality tv in most forms, but Pawn Stars has a certain appeal in that I've never found a reality star whom I hate more than that bald smug fuck. I, personally, avoid the show, but when I am unfortunate enough to walk through a room in which it is being veiwed and I hear the mocking laughter of that fat flake of shit as he tries to convince someone that an item in question is worth, to him, 1/4 of its' true value, I find myself grappling with the unrational urge to punch the tv for the wistful notion that I could knock his teeth out by doing so.

That said, I prefer the Caijun spin-off.

Cajun PS is cool. I definitely do like the program. But when compared to regular ol' Pawn Stars, I gotta say I gotta go with Rick and The Old Man.

However, in defense of the Cajun spin off, I tend to see "cooler looking" or "rather odd-ish" items on CPS more so than I do on PS.

I guess as a guilty pleasure or a distraction from ice road truckers its not bad.

Though, I have to believe that this whole show is staged.
Or that its nowhere near as real as it makes it self out to appear to be.

>It has single-handedly spawned a generation of drug-addled morons who think life ACTUALLY happens like a TV show.
Hasn't that been happening since the late 80's though?

>>365
More so since Skins came around trust me bro. You needed to be in England when the first season kicked off and you would SERIOUSLY understand where I'm coming from.

Either way my views are completely subjective and most likely contrary to other peoples since they eat this shit up. Personally though I've seen massive changes in the hivemind IRL regarding drug-use and pushing an "image". Thankfully most of it has died down but has been, nearly, replaced with all this "swag" nonsense.

>>366
>You needed to be in England when the first season kicked off
Well, I was speaking form a similar point of view, only with older shows and films. And music. Think of the late 80's golden era of raves and kitchen sink shows and such.

>>367
Okay.

I loved the first two series of Skins and that cast. I thought the cast after them was meh at best. I haven't seen it since then, though.

Thanks for the rec OP. I forgot I downloaded this a long time ago, and re-downloaded it again only to find it already on my HD. Finally watched it. Totally badass movie. I liked the kind of mutual respect and rivalry the protagonist had with the bad guy's right hand man. Made their fight scenes really interesting. I was crying manly tears when I figured out he actually saved the little girl from the surgeon and took out his eyes instead. He wasn't such a bad guy after all, he just worked for a scumbag. Still had a job to do though, so his death in that final fight scene was kind of sad.

On the subject of amazing Korean crime movies everyone should watch this.

I saw the Man From Nowhere recently after someone recommended it. I checked imdb to see it had an excellent score of 7.9

Sadly I was a bit disappointed 'cause I thought the story had no real depth. As someone mentioned it's a revenge movie, that's all there is.

>>273 The Vengeance Trilogy is always worth watching

While not Korean, The Returner is an entertaining choice. Not a GREAT movie, but worth watching at least once

>>196
wow. just watched it and loved it.

Look at me, I watch French films. Am I not amazing enough to take to bed, chick at an arts exposition?

And not one La Jetée in sight. For shame

Dunno about all the pretentious art house wank, but Mesrine is fucking awesome. Two part French crime drama about the gangster Jacques Mesrine, played by Vincent Cassel. Watch it.

I would suggest looking up popular individuals with amnesia. Benjaman Kyle, Henry_Molaison, etc.

Also just googling 'amnesia documentary' and related terms brings up several hits.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436864/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482648/
etc

You might have some luck lurking around through imdb pages for Momemto or such as maybe the guy's case was an influence or something, try plotkeyword searches too. You could also try some tvtropes articles related to amnesia, as they often have fairly throughout lists.

Beyond that, dunno.

>EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby. With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests. There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting. EARTHLINGS cries to be seen.

Just ignore him, he does this with anything that doesn't prove how much of an independent manly man he is and dares to actually question his lifestyle and beliefs.

Well, Paul Thomas Anderson seems to be going pretty strong (and looking fine as ever). And Woody Allen is still chugging right along. The quality of his output is a bit up and down, as it always has been, but he's as prolific and singular as ever. Tarantino, Aronofsky, and, on a much smaller scale, Lucky McKee. And Rian Johnson seems like he could go either way. He's got some auteur tendencies but I could also see him turn into a bit of a commercial schmuck.

Then there are the bad auteurs, like Uwe Boll and that other Paul Anderson, Paul W.S. Anderson. Their movies are shit, but I think they still fit into the singularity-of-vision requirement to qualify as an auteur.

Here, I even found a picture of PTA looking all thoughtful and auteury.

I always felt auter theory was the bullshit director's used to claim others' work for their own.

SAGE has been used.

I wouldn't say that it is dying, but it is definitely weaker than it was when film first started. The way I see it the director should be the cinematographer as well to fully achieve the vision within his head. When you add so many people outside of him or her with a hand in the vision it changes what he see's. Yes, their job is to make the directors vision more accessable, but why not just leave it to him and let him control the camera fully. Hell most movies these day's even have second unit directors who basically direct separate scene's the director can't get to which makes no sense to me.

As for the studio's growing involvement. I think these CEO's and financiers are forgetting they aren't the one making the movie. A prime is example is Prometheus. The studio heads forced ridley scott to make changes in editing and while filming for both time and money. That isn't right. It ruins the whole movie and the final product becomes less than it could have been.

To be honest, most of the time when people meddle with the director's vision it's for the better. Sure, there are exceptions and there are directors who are fantastic at what they do. But most of the time the director is to focused on mentally fapping to his own "genious" to realize that what he wants to do isn't working.

George Lucas is a prime example of this. The original Star Wars trilogy didn't end up anything like he wanted it to because of executive meddling and he was complaining about it all the time during the production of the first one. Then he got his hands free to make prequals and remakes and they turned out shit because no one was there to stop him and say "Lucas, I understand what you're trying to do, but it's just dumb".

If you can't wait, then what are you doing right now?

Well, the reason I haven't seen Cloud Atlas yet is because I don't have a lot of film going friends. But I'm thinking of seeing it by myself this weekend.

Hobbit, Lincoln, Skyfall. Not much else.

not really, when you consider how much that site throws around hyperbole and tends to give praise to truly awful productions on a regular basis.

which doesn't mean this particular film is necessarily bad, just that BD is not a site whose recommendations I would lend particular weight to.

speaking of truly awful, was that your review video op?

stop it.

  Yes.

This post inspired me to torrent the movie out of pity for OP.

This movie is great. I remember watching the first half and realizing "Holy fuck, I'm only halfway through.... Awesome!" I had no idea it was 4 hours.

Really funny movie, with interesting characters, great action and an original story.

And yet, you're entire post is two paragraphs of nothing at all about the movie, then one sentence "The trailer did kick quite a bit of ass."

The post before mine was the word "agreed".

>>80 Is not the op, and his only contribution to this thread is to bitch at my post.

I thought this movie was fan fucking tastic. But then again anything by Sion Sono is...

Forgot I made this thread. You guys are twats.

While I retain a little skepticism of every factual claim in it concerning history and statistics, I will admit it was a fascinating watch. Even the most radical of conspiracy theorists and doom criers here employ more subtlety than this. It was full out brutal, no punches pulled deconstruction of western capitalism. A very interesting and thought provoking point of view.

Thank you for bringing it to the attention of this, our board that never moves.
Cheers!

I really didn't understand the actions of David throughout the film at all. I felt like if it was meant to have something really profound to reveal at the end, something tying together all the characters and events, and it just didn't reveal anything. It was so caught up with being cryptic that it forgot to tell a moving story. I also found most of the characters to be pretty bland and unrealistic, even for a thriller. I guess my girlfriend, with whom I saw it, kind of poisoned me against it, because she says she "usually doesn't go to these kinds of movies" and that it wasn't "relevant to her life at all" because it wasn't really about people. I really saw her point about it though. Although I thought the part where she gives herself a c-section to remove a wriggling octopusish foetus from her own womb was pretty badass and she found it to be painful to watch and without any meaning or reward for her.

They should've opened with the scene where she births an octopus.

I hated how even a kid with highschool knowledge of biology could point out the errors in the films logic.

turns out we're 100% genetic match to aliens. really? you sure about that number or that fact that something (other then twins) is a 100% genetic match to anything else?

also hated how they were supposed to be these really smart scientists but kept making all these dumb as fuck decisions.

[spoiler]whats that? an autopsy on an alien head? sure ima just chill with a bottle of booze and watch that shit go down. yup fuck sterility.

or, look a new life form that looks pissed off, let's poke the shit out of it.[spoiler]

everything was just so fast paced in that film. too fast paced like the c-section bit. it reminded me of that episodes of the simpsons where moe gets a deep fryer and says how it can deepfry a buffalo in 60 seconds but homer is all like 'but i want it nowwwww'. and then after having MAJOR abdominal surgery she's all like 'yup gonna go exploren sum more.'

bad film is bad.

>You're going through the film thinking, "Why did that happen?" and "Why did they do this?" and "How did he know that was going to happen?" and so on.

This is how I felt about the movie. I was entertained for the entire duration, but there was so much shit left unanswered and it really bothered me after it was over.

David in particular, as another person ITT mentioned, did no end of bizarre things with absolutely no explanation as to why he did them.

Anyway, the one thing that bothered me the most out of everything in this film was the Alien at the end. That was obviously supposed to be a precursor to the Aliens in Alien, right? So how did it survive and reproduce? I guess it could've eaten the corpse of the Engineer and the weird tentacle monster thing, but then what? There were no other food sources on the planet, the air was completely unbreathable (speaking of which, how did the Engineer make it to the life pod thing to kill Shaw?) and there was only one Alien so it couldn't have reproduced. Realistically, it could've lived for maybe a week and then starved to death or died of dehydration.

Wait, so UK is a spin-off? Is the other show already on?
