I watched There Will be Blood for the first time today. Fuck. DDL. SHIT he's so good.

Yeah, he's phenomenal in that. Great in Lincoln too, but Phoenix was leagues better in the Master.

DDL's best performance is Gangs Of New York tho; he's stunningly entertaining.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Oh and Brit-GAF, True Detective started on Sky Atlantic tonight. If you haven't seen it, I implore you to start.

Got my parents to watch it. They liked it.

 

[Linius]

Man I'm so pumped I'm actually going to see Slowdive this summer. It's been almost twenty years since they last performed. Pretty much the same goes for Neutral Milk Hotel. Reunion tours <3

The Selfish Giant is the best film of last year that basically nobody saw, you all should see it.

The Selfish Giant is the best film of last year that basically nobody saw, you all should see it.

The film follows the lives of Arbor and Swifty, teenage boys growing up in an impoverished area of Bradford, northern England

oh okay so you liked it huh

I have it ready to watch. Might do that tomorrow night.

Closed the page already; looked it up to see what it was about and BADUMP Bradford

bet you havent even fucking SEEN IT

 

[subtles]

I'm glad to see 'The Hunt' at the top of your list Linius. I spent quite sometime contemplating the other day as it was in my queue.

Says the guy who loses all his bets. You're the false prophet.

 

[Mr Cola]

Can we really afford to take a risk on a player with chronic injury issues, look how fucked we have been with RvP this season.

Lest we forget our last purchase from Dortmund too

Yeah, it's such a rough film. Made me really angry actually and questioning human behaviour in general. This film raises such a difficult question.

I hope more people put it in their list so it gets some shine in the results thread. I bet a lot of people outside of Europe easily miss a film like that.

Watched it after Kermode wittled on bout it, had no idea it was set in the greatest county in England.

Not exactly rolling hills and flat caps though.

Music from 2014 then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgsdblVq8wo

I can't stop listening.

I've been wanting to see it for a while, I'll get round to it soonish. I'll watch a film tomorrow night, don't have to be up Monday. Gonna try and go see Only Lovers Left Alive in the cinema next week as well.

Will be finishing off West Wing today. I skipped season 5 and 6 because I've heard the story was sub par. Season 7 has been good though so far.

 

[Linius]

I gotta find myself more artists. I don't think any of the ones I follow will release a new album in 2014.

I have no idea what your taste in music is like but here some artists with good 2014 stuff: Real Estate, Damien Jurado, Cheatahs, Beck, Temples, together PANGEA, Eagulls and Warpaint.

Still have some other albums I need to check out though. And more stuff on the way too.

 

[Mr Cola]

Monsters and Men, Edwarde Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Two modern bands than make all other modern bands obsolete.

 

[arkon]

Oh and Brit-GAF, True Detective started on Sky Atlantic tonight. If you haven't seen it, I implore you to start.

Too much hype. Can't watch it now.

 

[Wilbur]

arkon why do you hate me so

I watched the trailer the other day

I think I'll watch it AFTER Hannibal S2 though..

..when I feel like watching Mads Mikkelsen suffer.

Too much hype. Can't watch it now.

It IS overhyped. But there's nothing like it atm!

Obsolete

 

[Linius]

Oh well the horse is out of the bag, Pacific Rim and The Hobbit in that list. Please don't bother me for not putting Dallas Buyers Club and Prisoners in there Horsie

 

[Wilbur]

I need to listen to more new music. I usually just wait until the end of the year and download everything on the best of lists, too much new shit comes out every week.

 

[Linius]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the word obsolete. If you think both of these bands are utter shit we can drink a beer some time.

 

[L1NETT]

Some of my favs of 2013

White Lies - First Time Caller

The Wonder Years - Dismantling Summer

Empire of the Sun - DNA

Frightened Rabbit - The Woodpile (whole album is top)

Biffy Clyro- Victory of the Sun (fuck you they are amazing)

Phoenix - Trying to be cool

 

[Wilbur]

Yeah Horse, what the fuck. Pacific Rim?

That might be the most overrated movie of all time. It was decent, but half the film was legitimately shit.

And Filth as well, yikes.

 

[Mr Cola]

Empire of the sun are also great

And Foster the people

 

[Linius]

Frightened Rabbit is a nice band. These guys go completely berserk on stage, they evolve to a rock band instead of folk/rock, it was so awesome

Watch The Act Of Killing.

The most disturbing documentary I've seen so far.

 

[Wilbur]

Can't stand Biffy Clyro, they're so boring. Elbow too; just... boring. Boring is the worst fucking thing you can be, whether you're a book or film or game or music. BORING.

 

[Linius]

I need to do that some time yeah. It's on Netflix so that's easy.

It IS overhyped. But there's nothing like it atm!

I just find if I'm not riding the hype train as it's leaving the station, and come to something later it can sometimes ruin the experience for me. Increased expectations and whatnot. I like to give them room to breathe and stick them on the backburner. It's why I haven't watched Breaking Bad yet. I'll get to them in a year or two.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I need to do that some time yeah. It's on Netflix so that's easy.

The worst thing about it is that it's true, and it happened.

So yeah, I was mindblown by the end.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Yeah Horse, what the fuck. Pacific Rim?

That might be the most overrated movie of all time. It was decent, but half the film was legitimately shit.

And Filth as well, yikes.

Filth was a lot better than many give it credit for. Surprised it's not gotten more praise.

Pacific Rim is admittedly an odd one for me. It's so unbelievably close to straying into shit territory due to cheese factor. I've often said it's a lesson in consistent tone - its po-faced approach to the material just about lets you get on with enjoying the (very well) designed action scenes.

I'd much sooner watch either than 12 Years A Slave, Rush, The World's End and Inside Llewyn Davis.

 

[Yurt]

Pacific Rim was REALLY fun! It was never meant to be a masterpiece.

 

[Linius]

Well that's exactly what it is and also why it would never occur in a 'best of ...' list except for year lists from magazines with teenage boys as their target audience.

is Hollywood running out of titles?

Filth sounds really interesting! I'll check it out.

and I like Ozil

Filth had a very good lead performance in a horrifically inconsistent film; it wasn't funny enough for me, it just relied on shock humour. Plus the ending was fucking stupid nonsense.

Pacific Rim - the fight scene in Hong Kong was great, Ron Perlman was fun, but everything else was average to shite. The script as well, oh man... why people love Guillermo del Toro so much I don't know. Blade II is the only English language film he's made that's good.

I haven't seen those Hellboy films yet. But I did like Pacific Rim.

But Pan's Labyrinth is easily his best film. Thus not English like you mentioned Wilbz.

 

[Wilbur]

Bad Boys II was much better than Pacific Rim but you never see that on best of lists
