Murr Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) I saw Rise of the planet of the apes last night. Oh my goodness. Baby Caesar is way to cute. The film was actually alot more emotional than I thought it would be. And you surprisingly get very attached to the apes I loved the little ape crew of Caesar, the Circus orangutan, and the Gorilla. When they are on one of the trams stood there like bosses. So much Win! Didn't like seeing the gorilla die such an awesome movie, I love how the gorllia's are the brute force, the orangutan's were the swingers in the Bridge Battle and the chimps were the climbers. EDIT - Picture of the win mentioned above Edited August 18, 2011 by Murr
Wesley Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Planet of the Apes is fucking AWESOME. I saw Cowboys and Aliens last night. It was really good. I thought it was odd that James Bond and Indiana Jones were in the same movie, but my friend explained that they are in the same timeline in the later films, so I guess it works out. It was nice to that Indiana Jones picks up his "can't forget my hat" thing from James Bond originally. Good origin story.
Wesley Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Maybe you weren't as into the origin of James Bond and Indiana Jones as I was. EDIT: Wait, where did the other post go? Now it looks like I was talking to myself. Which is how I look most of the time in the street. Edited August 19, 2011 by Wesley
Happenstance Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Went with Goafer to see The Inbetweeners Movie today. Really enjoyed it, lots of funny moments that really made me laugh. Few weird moments as well but overall a very good movie.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Pixar meets Inception? The dinosaur project sounds pretty standard, but the mind thing intrigues me.
EEVILMURRAY Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Will probably look something like this. Was an awesome programme.
Ellmeister Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Inbetweener Movie Didn't live up to my expectations. Was quite predictable and although I did laugh at a couple of things I was thinking I would be laughing a lot more.
Frank Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Finally got around to seeing The Triplets of Belleville. Oh yes. Oh yes, yes, yes, yes. YES. It was so surprising. I didn't expect the plot or general feeling to be so adult. Presumed it was a 'kiddy' film, then in the first 2 minutes there's a naked African woman being mauled by the male audience! The song will forever remain in my head, too catchy. Classy ladies with shoulder shakes -- nice. I dunno, I haven't any idea what to write about. It's just all Wonderful. The characters and art direction. [Writer's Block...Speechless ] Whoop dee doo, rendez-vooooous. Edited August 22, 2011 by Frank
Paj! Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Yeah, it's a stunning film. Feels realy like...sinister/weird in my head when I think about it, like a dream or something. The fact there's so little speech in Sylvain Chomet's films lend them a really dream-like feel (as well as the style obviously).
Sméagol Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Les triplettes de Belville is great. It’s (ultimately) so sweet. Dunno where you’d get the notion it’s a “kiddy†film . Finally saw a new film yesterday, Melancholia. Always had the idea I wouldn’t like a Lars von Trier film, eventhough I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen one. It’s because of those Dogme rules and that Nicole Kidman film probably. Anyway.. I liked it. In general. Atmosphere was great. Really shows that you can make an apocalypse film with limited resources. It focusses on the 2 sisters instead of widespread panic and destruction. That said, I wish the actual apocalypse was more believable, I’m no expert, but it sounded ridiculous. I know it’s just meant as an excuse to make a story about 2 sisters, but still. Few other annoying things, but overall I enjoyed it. Also, fans of Kirsten Dunst will surely appreciate this. And Udo Kier is in it. How could it go wrong?
Ellmeister Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Super "It's all gooshy" is possibly my favourite line from a film ever. It was great and terrible at the same time. Loved it. Ellen Page was great. Braindead (1992) Possibly the weirdest black comedy of zombies I've ever seen. Fully recommend it to you guys though I'm sure you'd laugh at (like Super) how terribly bad it was which made it good. It has zombie babies, zombie sex, zombie intestines, rat zombie, zombie legs and some guy to help kill them all. Hilarious.
Coolness Bears Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Went and saw this in the cinema today: Breathing Vagina. Made me want to hoover things. Edited August 23, 2011 by Coolness Bears
Frank Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Yeah, it's a stunning film. Feels realy like...sinister/weird in my head when I think about it, like a dream or something. The fact there's so little speech in Sylvain Chomet's films lend them a really dream-like feel (as well as the style obviously). Yes, now that you mention it! It gave me the impression of how unimportant speech can be. Who even needs words? Let's return to silent film. I must see some of his other films. Are they as good? [i hope I'm as vibrant a person as the triplets when I'm older ]
Eenuh Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Yes, now that you mention it! It gave me the impression of how unimportant speech can be. Who even needs words? Let's return to silent film.I must see some of his other films. Are they as good? [i hope I'm as vibrant a person as the triplets when I'm older ] I don't think he's done much to be honest, but I might be wrong. There's The old lady and the pigeons, which I loved. It's quite weird and surreal, and again no speech. But it's great! =D And then there's The Illusionist, which sadly I've still not been able to see. So no idea if it's good or in the same character as Les Triplettes, but it might be.
ReZourceman Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 No Strings Attached. The first 3 or so minutes were incredibly painful. I thought it was going to be absolutely diabolical, but then it does a funny gag tat got me on side and then Ashton was nice and Natalie Portman was great/interesting to see someone who can actually act in a shitty chick flick. Surprisingly lolz in places.
Murr Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Braindead (1992) Possibly the weirdest black comedy of zombies I've ever seen. Fully recommend it to you guys though I'm sure you'd laugh at (like Super) how terribly bad it was which made it good. It has zombie babies, zombie sex, zombie intestines, rat zombie, zombie legs and some guy to help kill them all. Hilarious. Lawnmower scene.... enough said. Such a terrible but brilliant film
Ellmeister Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Lawnmower scene.... enough said. Such a terrible but brilliant film We enjoyed the park scene, though it didn't make sense but was still so funny.
Coolness Bears Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Watched this for a second time today: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Movie of the Year.
Ashley Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 There is a thread about James Franco's Gay Old Time With Apes
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Gah, I really have to go and see it now. More and more people keep saying its good... I love that poster, Coolness. Very Planet of the Apes-y.
jayseven Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Will probably look something like this. Was an awesome programme. Similar to what I was thinking... also along the lines of Braindead (1992) Possibly the weirdest black comedy of zombies I've ever seen. Fully recommend it to you guys though I'm sure you'd laugh at (like Super) how terribly bad it was which made it good. It has zombie babies, zombie sex, zombie intestines, rat zombie, zombie legs and some guy to help kill them all. Hilarious. You know it was directed by Peter Jackson, of LOTR fame? Check out Bad Taste, the slightly-higher-budget spiritual seqel Watched this for a second time today: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Movie of the Year. I saw Conquest of the Planet of the Apes on TV the other night - thought that it wasn't an awful movie - whilst it was very opaque about its messages, it still carried some impetus and made the mythos quite a bit bolder in my mind. POTA never appealed to me much - mostly because I knew the ending, but I guess I should get past that and give the movies a watch (like I know Paj did).
Ellmeister Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Yeah, we knew it was Peter Jackson, we talked after about the major transition from that to LotR. Thanks for the tip about the sequel! We looked for one but didn't see anything with Braindead 2 on it :p Having looked on IMDB, Bad Taste is supposedly about Aliens and was made before Braindead, not much of a sequel :p
jayseven Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I've clearly had a brain fart -- Bad Taste is the spiritual precursor to Braindead :P Low-budget, more mad, great fun.
