What's the last movie you've seen?

[Gustaf]

I'm assuming Gustaf saw "The Fantastic Mr. Fox". Did they botch the translation to Swedish that badly? I've heard of even more oddly translated titles in foreign countries though.

Yeah, they did what they rarely do and translated the title to Swedish. I went with the closest literal translation I could think of instead of looking it up.

Last movie seen:

"Thirst"

Park Chan-Wok (or is it Park-Chan Wok?)'s film version of Emile Zola's 19th century novel Thérese Raquin, set in present day South Korea with vampires. Cool director, cool movie.

"Seems to be"?

I've only seen that one film and haven't read much about him. I'm wary to hurl such a crippling insult at someone I know so little about.

Loach is... um... waaaaaaaaaaaay out there, so to speak. I think he still supports Britain's most popular Stalinist party (the SLP). He did a few years ago, anyway.

It always saddens me that someone who has that kind of understanding of humanity and has such artistic talent can lack common sense so much.

"Seems to be"? ???

Yep, he pushed the very big strikes in France to go further last spring, and went to encourage Besancenot while he was here for the Festival de Cannes in which he presented Looking for Eric. When everybody was still wondering, and politicians from govt on TV wasn't very reassured: "what the hell will happen here??????"

The Sting. (1973) IMO, It was good- not great. Great acting performances but the characters didnt grab me.

[Psychic Octopus]

TROPIC THUNDER

[Kaine for Senate '18]

TROPIC THUNDER

Love that movie.

[useful idiot]

Congo, with the guy from Nip/Tuck. Saw it in theatres like 14 or 15 years ago and it was on HBO today...

Cool French/Tunisian movie that I think was set in Tunisia but I'm not sure.  It was about a woman in her late forties who was getting the menopause, and having difficulties.  Very good and very sexy.  Alas I didn't catch the name and can't figure out what it was.. it was recent though.

I can think of a one but it doesn't happen in Tunisia but in Western Africa, and it's about, yes, women of the menopause age, but some who go in Western Africa for sexual tourism. Which is something actually happening amongst European wealthy 50+ single women.

Just watched Australia...thought it was going to be a total chick flick, and it was, but a very good one....

2012, what a disaster

[Smash255]

Blindside.

[Psychic Octopus]

Blindside.

How was it?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

2001: A Space Odyssey.

Should've been a lot shorter. I had the impression more actually, you know, happened in it. HAL wasn't very threatening at all for that matter. However the mega-mind screw ending ruled.

Pretty good.

That sounds great!  Not the same movie I think, but I'd love to see the one you're talking about.  What's the title?

Ah damn, I mixed myself with a document. The film i was speaking about is effectively a French one about 50+ wealthy single women looking for sexual tourism, but that are not about Europeans in Western Africa but about American ones in Haïti, at the end of the '70s. The document was about Europeans seeking for it in Gambia.

Well, i haven't seen it, but the few i've seen of it makes me think it's not the kind i would have liked, it seems to have one of this French trend in French cinema nowadays to make pretty low movies, very close of people but maybe too much for me, finishes in rather boring stuffs. That's the impress i had about that one, but I may be wrong. Its director, Laurent Cantet has made good and bad movies from my pov.

Anyways, here is: http://french.imdb.com/title/tt0381690/combined

The Road.

That was probably the most realistic depiction of what a post-apocalyptic world would actually be like, which should destroy any romantic notions of it. It was the most bleak and depressing thing I have seen in a very long time. If you see it, just be prepared. Make sure to do something that makes you happy right afterwards.

The Informant.

Less a classic "informant" movie (like All the Presidents' Men) then a con movie in reverse.

It's not like it was supposed to be one.
