Watching the bamboozle 2011 documentary as I type this. People from Jersey who try to organize music festivals are funny.

It'd be cool if people would actually articulate their thoughts rather than just post pictures. I mean discussion on this board is all but fucking dead so why not make an effort to kickstart things?

People post how they want to post, get over it. If you don't like pictures, don't look at the post. Sometimes you can't explain stuff.

Y'know, I don't think I really said anything dickish. It wasn't a demand, it was a suggestion. Look at the words: "It'd be cool if..." & "why not...?" Yeah, I used a naughty word. I use naughty words all the time. It doesn't mean my post is aggressive or dickish. I mean if I call someone a cunt then that's one thing, but just using "fuck" as an adjective in this context is just...a word.

Is what you are watching/just watched good or bad? Why is it that? Do you recommend it? It takes about 30 seconds to write a coherent sentence along the lines of "I enjoyed this movie. The acting was really good, as you would expect when featuring Brad Pitt, Ed Norton & Helena Bonham Carter. I also thoroughly enjoyed Meat Loaf's cameo in the film from a humour perspective. It's a kind of nihilistic film for want of a better word & so is obviously not for everybody, but this is a vibrant, exciting piece of cinema & possibly the finest film that David Fincher has directed. I should really read the book at some point."

And that was off the top of my head for a film I haven't seen in a year. 2 minutes top. Not a terrific piece of criticism, just a general positive recommendation for Fight Club, a movie which a lot of people might like. You've got the time to play pretend band, so why can't you take the time to write 100 words on why you liked or disliked something?


Yeah, fuck that dude for actually suggesting something that might make this corpse simulate life very briefly. What a cunt.

Honestly, you people are fucking odd. Off-topic forum sorely needs Rince back from his working holiday

I love foreign action/horror films. They always have some of the best plots, like another one I want to see this year is Bait 3-D, in which a Tsunami hits in Australia and amongst other things, floods a supermarket, filling it with sharks.

I'm a little late to the party but I really need to see The Proposition, I'm a big fan of westerns, even moreso newer westerns in the steed of Red Dead Redemption (this film apparently influenced part of the plot), and the thought of Guy Pearce working together with Hillcoat (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) means the acting will be top-notch and the period pieces will be just right.

Oh shut up, I'm not advanced in these in these things :P

Now tackling:

Attack the Block, some of you UKers might recognize it as the Sci-Fi film with the inner-city kids going against the aliens.

It's actually really well-done. Nice Sci-Fi film, Cornish does a great job and aside from the usual horror business (Person goes to the eyehole and OMGALIENZ). I'm loving it so far, one of the best of 2011 and a great way to start my 2012 film-viewing. Probably gonna make a big effort to check out everything I can, from the crappy arthouse-mumblecore films to the "Artist"-type Oscar Darlings.

TL;DR: GO see Attack the Block every shot is used to make the film fun. Not gonna knock you off your feet with the awesome dialogue (even though the dialogue is awesome), but it will knock you off your feet with the balls-to-the-walls action. Watch it.
