Yep; he's made two very good films, both in Spanish. One is the Devil's Backbone which is really creepy and effective. The other is Pan's Labyrinth which is an absolute fucking masterpiece.

But I mentioned the black moon face from whatsapp
I respect your list and I liked Pacific Rim myself. And it's the kind of film I'm likely to rewatch more often when friends come over or something like that.

Filth was a movie that just hit me in the right mood. Also I enjoyed things like the Frank Sidebottom references which I doubt most people under my age got. Also really liked things like the bits in his head. Loved what an irredeemable cunt he is.
PR was on my list for the pure fact that it's a highly rewatchable action movie. This may not mean much to some but I happen to think the action movie genre has been on a heavy downward spiral for such a long time with a lot the comic movie franchises that it was nice to see a big budget movie getting action right once again.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww take that back. BB2 may be one of the worst movies I've ever watched.
Haha, it's not on my favourite lists as well but I still give it 4 stars
It's just fun and excessive in all the ways Pacific Rim tried so desperately hard to be. It's a decent film, but nothing special.
Fast Five was also better
come at me
Wilbur is a smart lad, he specifically said not English to Juve out his best movies.
I loved Hellboy FWIW. It had the most badass comic book villain.
Daft Punk with blades. And he's Russian, I mean come on.. edit: GERMAN GERMAN sorry!
You see there's a film about Sidebottom coming out with Fassbender?
Both decent films; Iron Man 3 is the only legit good Marvel film. IM1 is decent, Avengers is decent. IM3 gets loads of flak for being a comedy instead of a fucking vanilla stereotypical superhero film and it confuses me.

Fuck yeah he was really cool actually (although isn't he German/Nazi?), wish the film had made more of him. And the fight with the elemental in Hellboy 2 is brilliant. They're both decent films as well, he's certainly not a bad film maker (and has made one of my all time favourites), but when people want GdT to direct absolutely everything it's just a bit odd :lol
This is what I've been watching this month. Last year I watch 48 films in total, this year I'm already at 34. I finally stopped doing nothing on the internet for hours on end and actually do something like watching a movie or actually playing games instead of talking about them
And I must say, I don't remember much cool action flicks from recent times. I know I liked Jack Reacher. And Pacific Rim of course, Fast 5 which is mentioned now I liked too.

Goddamn you just reminded. What an odd project.
GdT gets imagery and set design so right for certain things. I would've fucking jizzed myself if he had been given that R-rated At The Mountains of Madness project.

I'm on 65 for the year so far, which is quite frankly embarrassing. But I watched loads before I started uni, and I've tried to watch two to three a week since.
Close enough.
he was? LOOOOOOOL I'm sorry I don't know why I thought he was Russian, I need to rewatch it again!
GdT (to me at least) is a bit like Sam Raimi. He makes odd fun movies, but I'll never give him a massive franchise, he'll just ruin it lol.

This is what I need to do more of. Except I'm devoting my time to books this year. Already halfway to last year's total books read.
65 :/
But I'm with you on the two or three a week. I work monday till thursday full hours so I can only watch movies from friday to sunday anyways generally. I watch my TV shows on work days. I have been going to the cinema an awful lot though for someone who doesn't have some kind of subscription. Already been seven times and I have at least two more in my schedule for next month with Her and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
I had a month where I worked Sunday to Tuesday nights and that was it, so I just sat around watching films when I wasn't out of the house (and I don't watch anywhere near as many TV shows as you as well; I'm only watching True Detective at the moment).
I've been to the cinema 10 times so far, but I do get free tickets!

Watching Utopia E3
Her accent is bizarre and somewhat annoying.

Jessica Hyde seems a right bellend

I watched 45 films in January lool how embarrassing. 20 so far this month. I've got about 1500 films on my Letterboxd watchlist, so I'm trying to keep the movie watching up!
Because:
a) the script was hilarious
b) Downey was hilarious
c) Kingsley was hilarious
d) it was hilarious
People being disappointed because it changed some stuff and had not enough Iron Man fucking suck. Are they not bored of the same thing in every single fucking superhero movie?
I fucking LOVED Iron Man 3 and I don't even know why
I can't resist the RDM

Does she even fit the weight class?
Linius knows whats up!
I have been listening to the Real Estate album. Its quite mellow and laidback to a point that I am actually surprised. Days wasn't that chill. I think its gonna take me a while before I warm up to it (I hope)
I just want another French Films album
I'm already addicted. It's that kind of music for me. Need to watch out I don't 'over' listen it and get bored with it.
Did you listen to Cheatahs debut? I think you'll like that.
I liked the first two seasons but haven't watched past the beginning of season 3. There were some good episodes in there. Like the clip show episode.

Anyone else thought Scarjo's voice acting was mediocre in HER? Joaquin Phoenix carried her. Damn he's good.

If that is your type of music, I am actually surprised you didn't liked French Films more. Its basically that coupled with New-Wave and Jingle-pop tempo and melody and Joy Diviosn-like Vocals.
I have heard great deal about Cheatahs, but I have listened to them yet. I am planning to do so, but I am kind of burned out by the hype of Speedy Otiz which makes me wary about things lately.
Btw, Just came back from one of the best gigs in recent times. Just saw Fat White Family and OMG what a night. Fucking amazing live band if not the best. Second time seeing them, and I am still as amazed as the first time.
I am planning to write a lengthy impression at the Alt/indie thread (hopefully, if I don't be lazy mofo)
it was definitely after blue jasmin which i saw on the 18th, but before don jon (ugh) which i saw on the 22nd.
this is tearing me apart, lisa.
edit: i found it. i was wrong. i must've seen it on the 25th because i recommended it to someone on whatsapp the next day. crisis averted.
text editor, bruh.
it's too much work, haha. then i'd go all ocd and shit and i'd have to check every film i've ever seen.

You keep a film log? Where can I follow that? Or is it some excel file on your computer?

Speedy Ortiz debut LP is good stuff, but it has to be your thing. I know Cheatahs is at least right up your alley with a bit of shoegazing in there.
And I like French Films, I listened to their last albums like eight times.
And Fat White Family are performing at Best Kept Secret this year, I like their album!
What do you think of this years bill so far? I mean, Slowdive man!

Nah Ian Curtis' voice was depressing. He had a deeper voice too.
I think the one you showed me last year had better line-up, but there is couple of bands that sound very attractive there: Franz Ferdinand, Slowdive (OF COURSE!), Pixies, Factory Floor, The Horrors, Fucked Up, Traams and Young Fathers all sound great and I would love to see them there.
Is it a camping festival or is there a hotel/hostel near by one can crash in? I still don't have a gig buddy and am tempted to come all the way to Holland...

and am tempted to come all the way to Holland...They have a bungalow park (which is sold out) and a camping. For the camping they ask 20 euros on top of your festival ticket and then you can just pick a spot to camp in the camping area.
But it's good that they focus so much on the music and not all sorts of extra stuff. I'm wondering what else is coming. Still about 30 names to be announced.

Well I have a broken leg so camping is out of question. At least The Great Escape in Brighton or By:Larm in Oslo happens in various venues around the city so its convenient to book a hotel and just go to the venue you happen to like.
I want a new French Film album

I spend so much time just sitting on my arse refreshing this thread that I could spend catching up on games, TV or films.
Haven't watched a film since The Hobbit part 1 on Christmas Eve

why are you sitting on your ass! Do other stuff and just refresh your phone when you're bored. That's what I do.
Dark Souls 2 in a few weeks? My body isn't ready
You haven't missed anything.
Just a Lillies and Remains single that is exclusive to Tower Record in Japan.

lol.
I'm waiting for a meeting this Wednesday about my thesis. Then semester kicks off the week after and I have an obscene amount of tutoring to do.
If we go down to Olympiakos, I will be unspeakably mad.
