What's the last movie you've seen? (2nd thread)

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)

It think it says something profound about my personality about seeing this for the second time that I find it completely and utterly hilarious. It's not a profound film but what's wrong with that? Certainly one of the most realistic films ever released by Hollywood.

Love that! Terry Gilliam really is great. There was a history of screenplay problems with that, and when it finally fell in Gilliam's lap he just basically filmed the book. Which is what should be done with that, because it's Thompson! You don't "adapt" Thompson.

A movie from 2008 or so called In Bruges. It's about the . . . well, darkly weird misadventures of a couple of Irish hit men who get out of town for a spell to Bruges. They encounter various stereotypes and crack jokes about their boss, who goes out of his way to swear (Joe Pesci does that best of all, but this guy was mildly humorous). And there's of course violence.

It was a good movie that had its moments, but honestly the kind of humor in the movie really doesn't do a lot for me. I'd recommend it, but there's a lot of random stuff and smart-alecky tongue-in-cheek humor that had me thinking, "Was that supposed to be funny? Oh, I guess. Ha!"

It's a postmodern anti-violence film.

Uh, makes sense! Wasn't necessarily expecting that.

Wolf of Wall Street

Really entertaining and funny. Needed a better editing job though.

1966 film called Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? which was also a stage play.

A burnt out Richard Burton and a been-there-done-it Liz Taylor get liquored up and rip on each other for two hours with a younger couple in tow. There are many reasons, though, and the tension very much rubs off on the younger couple as everyone gets drunker and the night wears on, which is what is so great. I love it. Watching it is like enjoying a rich dessert. Too bad it is in black and white!

American Hustle at a cinema. Great entertainment, but not a great movie.

That's a very good movie.

The Wolf of Wall Street

Didn't really feel like a Scorcese film at all aside from the fact that he's not good at trimming films down to a decent length. Really insane surrealist comedy stuff. But I suppose it is basically like Goodfellas with a white collar criminal instead of a gangster. Leo should do more outlandish scenery chewing roles like this one and Django rather than the subduded ones he's usually in, he does them better than almost everyone.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

American Psycho

My sister really wanted me to see it and thought I'd love it. I did.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Prisoners

[politicallefty]

Clue.

It's one of my all-time favourite movies (and probably my favourite board game as well).

[Middle-aged Europe]

Only Lovers Left Alive

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Jackie Brown

[SWE]

Mr. Peabody and Sherman

[Eraserhead]

Non-Stop

Stupidity.

[Flake]

Fargo. Really great movie.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

The Campaign, far better than it had any right to be.

I ♥ Huckabees

Stupid movie. Couldn't stand it despite being perhaps in the tailor made target demographic...well not quite, I suppose I'm not a philosophy grad student. The only scenes in it I liked were the beginning and the one sampled here, the whole reason I watched it.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

"Trainspotters", Sunday night. Before that, I saw the majority of "Gingerdeadman 3: Saturday Night Cleaver". Both great films.

Yeah, I remember being hugely disappointed in that film. Pretty bad.

You people are wrong and terrible.
