Paj! Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 God, can people stop even reading my post - If I were actually asked to plot a Jurassic Park movie, I would spend e'ery waking hour for months/years analysing my life and why I do this or that. :p It would end up revolving around Philosoraptor. And this image. My two favourite things in life combined, Philosoraptor and Showgirls - It would star Laura Dern (reprising her role as Dr. Cuntacious or whatever her name was), but never referencing her previous characterisation, you have to deal with the fact 20 years have passed and she's clearly been through a lot. Julianne Moore is also there. And Juliette Lewis, and Juliette Binoche. Just for the jokes. The only main male cast member is Jake Gylenhaal, voicing the leader of the Triceratops..es..who has learned to speak basic english. It will have an unreliable narrator and a non-linear structure, exploring notions of life, death...extinction vs. our survival, questioning our/the need to survive..fuck...cloning...life..babies (Juliette Lewis' character is 9 months pregnant at the start of the film, though in the year-long time period the film spans we come to realise something happens to the baby off camera. But it's not important.). There's a 10 minute scene where guest-star Harrison Ford has to tell a mentally broken Julianne Moore that her sister was lost to the Pterodactyls. It's intense. In the end the film skips 10 years, and we see dinosaur dna merged with human as commonplace, a new servant/slave/worker caste replacing the traditional workforce (hence the Showgirl dino above.). Yes. This will shine brilliantly.

Ellmeister Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I watched True Grit last night. Twas a solid performance, I enjoyed muchly. Still need to see 'There will be blood'! I will get round to it eventually!

Paj! Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 He might have thought it was Coen brothers. I know I used to get the two (NCFOM and TWBB) mixed up before I saw them. And for some reason they're mentally kept together in my head too.
Daft Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I heard Salt was pretty good (from reliable sources). I need to see it. Only just read this and I need to say, NO. Salt is an awful film. Absolutely awful. I never really have an issue with plot holes (I like Tron ffs). Salt had more holes in it than Sonny had at the end of The Godfather.
Paj! Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Hm. The reviews here have been awful, so maybe...I was...lied to...
ReZourceman Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Daft. Please just watch the ten seconds at 1:18
Ashley Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Yes! Just found out Craig Ferguson is going to be in Brave (and as it turns out has been in a number of other films without my knowledge). My favourite Scot. I'm ready. [/chair]
Ellmeister Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 There will be blood is not Coen? Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Was it No Country for Old Men which is Coen then? (I thought it wasn't and TWBB was, my fault). I've heard good things about both so perhaps I should see both eventually?
ReZourceman Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 No Country For Old Men is directed by the Coens, but There Will Be Lolz, is not. And yes....No Country is awesome. There Will Be Blood is on my to do list. I can't believe they showed it on a plane. I tried but within 2 minutes or so I was like "Yeah this isn't happening".
Paj! Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 It's not a plane movie by any means. I preferred it to No Country For Old Men. But both are very good. You should watch.
Daft Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Daft. Please just watch the ten seconds at 1:18 You owe me ten seconds of my life.
ReZourceman Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 You owe me ten seconds of my life. Honestly....I owe you way more than that.
chairdriver Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 No Country For Old Men feels like a real movie you want to watch [exhilarating etc] where There Will Be Blood feels more like "... That was good *does something else with my life*"
Ellmeister Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I just watched 9. It was good, but the storyline didn't really make much sense, I looked up the plot after and apparently it was to save humanity. Except they didn't.
Eenuh Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 9 as in the animation with the rag dolls? I watched that and thought it wasn't very good, storywise. Didn't feel connected to any of the characters, and it kinda dragged on. I'm currently watching Stardust. Bit of a weird film, but I like it haha. It's made me laugh a few times. Thought it would be a crappy fantasy film but I'm enjoying it. =P
Daft Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I really liked 9, it was unconventional. Probably not something I'd recommend but I enjoyed the feel of the film.
Coolness Bears Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 A Street Car Named Desire. I don't want realism. I want magic.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I'm currently watching Stardust. Bit of a weird film, but I like it haha. It's made me laugh a few times. Thought it would be a crappy fantasy film but I'm enjoying it. =P I love how it's just such a funny and pretty non-serious fantasy film that just plays around with the fantastic elements. Plus it's sweet.
Eenuh Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I love how it's just such a funny and pretty non-serious fantasy film that just plays around with the fantastic elements. Plus it's sweet. Yeah I liked how it didn't take itself too serious haha. Was good, nice surprise. I like it when films turn out better than you were expecting (I was expecting crap but had nothing else to do tonight). So whoo!
Ellmeister Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I really liked 9, it was unconventional. Probably not something I'd recommend but I enjoyed the feel of the film. Pretty much the same. I was expecting more though.
Oxigen_Waste Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 No Country For Old Men feels like a real movie you want to watch [exhilarating etc] where There Will Be Blood feels more like "... That was good *does something else with my life*" The general critical consensus, with which I very much agree, even though I usually don't at all is that There Will Be Blood is the best movie of the 2000-2010 decade. And I agree. Completely. It's just ridiculously good. It haunted me for months.
