What DVD's are we Watching? - Page 89

infinite monkey · 10-02-2011, 04:32 PM

Last night I watched Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Then I watched The Darjeeling Limited.

I was so happy to see Patricia Clarkson in VCB. She is another of our underrated actors. I've loved her in every single thing she's been in. (Pieces of April comes to mind...but she's been in numerous independent film, and played Ruth's sister in Six Feet Under.) And how fucking beautiful are Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johannsen? I hate them.

I got 3 movies at Odd Lots today, 3 bucks apiece. I'm going to watch Lars and the Real Girl, Saw II, and Fast Food Nation.

Odd Lots rulez.

Oh, and my dad is the coolest. I asked if he could make me a DVD shelf thingy. I gave him no dimensions or even ideas and mom said he fretted about it. I didn't want to make him fret, I just know he loves to make things for us and I love having stuff he's made...and I've long wanted a nice DVD shelf.

I saw it today. It's beautiful. He still wants to stain it and asked me if I liked the shiny gloss and I do.

It made me so happy.

I still have my bookshelves he made me when I was a little girl. This was back before he had his really nice shop, so I think about him working all the time but still finding time to make something for his book-loving daughter.

Monkey, you have to post pics before and after you load it.

I just finished Death Note (the live action movie, watched the Anime series earlier this year. Should get Death Note 2 next from netflix)

Also watching Dracula AD 1972. Love Hammer Horror.

Trollhunter streaming on Netflix.

Norwegian, with subtitles, student film crew make a documentray about Norways secret government troll hunter.

So it's a lot of shaky handheld camera work, and running around in the woods being scared. Well done though good fun.

Never explained why the Trolls were secret, if they've been around for thousands of years?

So it's like a Norwegian Blair Witch Project?

I saw a trailer for that somewhere recently, looked interesting.

Beest · 10-26-2011, 11:56 AM

Never seen BWP, but probably.

It's not all paranoid teens running around in the woods (there is a fair bit of this near the beginning) and never clearly seeing the thing. You do get to see stuff and it's well done.

I caught a first season episode of Law and Order on one of my local UHF channels (or what used to be UHF, B.C. (before cable)).

Netflix has the early seasons on Watch Instantly.

Chris Noth was SO YOUNG.

wolf · 10-26-2011, 08:21 PM

Baby's Day Out was on one of the free cable movie channels today.

It's so cute that I watched it one and a half times today.

Well, that and it was a movie that made momwolf laugh. Today was the anniversary of her passing.

I did not put the box of her on the couch to watch it with me. I'm not that far gone, yet.

hang in there wolf.

wolf · 10-27-2011, 10:42 AM

Thank you.

Hey wolf... (gosh.. tongue tied here)..

I support you too. Please accept my empathy in place of any accidental eloquence I might have typed into this box. And it was gonna be a beauty, too.

BigV · 11-10-2011, 05:40 PM

I'm sure there's a Netflix thread somewhere... who cares. My streaming viewing and my local dvd or vhs viewing blur together. We watch what we want to watch. And we watch stuff every day. Anyhow, I recently saw a film that started out (eyeroll) kinda dumb, and then picked up dramatically (not that it was a drama, just the quality of the movie improved). I'm reminded of it because of a couple recent posts in the Cool Weapons thread.

I would recommend "Final Countdown". It stars Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen. The premise is this: What would happen if a US Navy aircraft carrier (USS Nimitz, played by herself) was off the coast of Hawaii on December 6th, 1941?

There's LOTS of on board and in air footage of some real warfare hardware. If you like that kind of stuff, you should watch this film.

elSicomoro · 11-10-2011, 05:58 PM

Michelle and I watched Hobo with a Shotgun the other night...it was fantastic, but Michelle told me I was not allowed to pick movies anymore.

Then we watched this indie film called Zenith, which was interesting, but a total mindfuck...and Michelle banned herself from picking movies.

Griff · 11-10-2011, 07:12 PM

So I guess I'll be picking your films from here on out... anything by Ewe Boll should do.
