yeah thats the one Shado36.i can't comment on Twin Peaks specifically since i haven't seen it yet but Lynch is definitely an aquired taste.hes not for everyone.i can see why people wouldnt like his stuff
cool.thanks for that boosbaby.ill check it out.as for Inland Empire,like aabbccdd said,its a typical David Lynch film.if you havent seen any of Lynch's other films you might not be prepared for what youre getting yourself into even if you do like weird movies.weird doesnt really sum him up.the film doesnt feel very long at all but if you really want to make sure youll like it first before investing 3 hours into it you could watch one his other (shorter) films first to try him out and then watch Inland Empire if you like that.Blue Velvet is a good one to introduce you to him.or maybe just watch one of his shorts or an episode or two of Twin Peaks or something to give you an idea.
Mr Beans Holiday turned out to be horrible.oh well.
i saw Funny Games a few days ago in preparation for the remake with Naomi Watts and Tim Roth coming out in October.wow.fantastic film.im really excited for the new one now.
also watched Death Proof last week which is Tarantinos half of Grindhouse.some of it was meh and it felt a a little forced in places but it was a pretty fun film.
EDIT: just watched the new film Paris Je T'aime.GREAT idea for a film but it didnt really work out as well in practice as it did on paper.it has its moments though and its a nice little film overall.

oh yeah,i remember laughing my ass off at the trailer to Next when he dodges a bullet that was gonna miss him by about 3 feet anyway.it looked like it might be a decent flick though.
hadnt heard of Candy until you mentioned it.i just watched the trailer.it looks great.im gonna check that one out.
did you end up watching Inland Empire?
Across The Universe is finally getting released on the 28th.ive been looking forward to it for ages.cant wait

oh ya across the universe look awesome, looks like another weird movie, i love them. and i really like the actress in the movie i think rachel evan wood or something like that she was great in thirteen and running with scissors. i thought running with scissors was great too, i like the dry humor.

which film do you mean? when i said the 28th,i meant Across The Universe but in cinemas not DVD.Inland Empire was released on DVD in August.
yeah Blockbuster sucks for availability.if you ask for anything outside of the pile of crap thats in the charts,they look at you like youre an alien.i use LoveFilm.theyre much better.
yeah she was great in Thirteen.i havent gotten round to seeing Running With Scissors yet but i love dry humour so it should be right up my street
i havent had the chance to see Across The Universe yet but it has got a pretty mixed reception so far.it was never gonna be universally accepted and there are always going to be people pissed about them using Beatles tracks and 'butchering them' as they put it but ill find out whether or not thats a valid criticism soon enough.if the clip of Bono singing I Am The Walrus is anything to go by though,im already beginning to think theyre right
EDIT: just watched the new Die Hard.good grief what an awful film.i knew it'd be bad but wow.i never expected that.thats the worst film ive seen in a long,long time.

I saw "The Good Night" last week. It was ok. It had to do with lucid dreaming. I think it's a limited release but a friend had it on dvd from a torrent. It was good.

haven't heard of that one either.sounds interesting though.
just found out theres a trailer out for the Funny Games remake http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec-70W_K77U
looks like a shot-for-shot remake of the original.a bit pointless but awesome nonetheless.
im a bit confused as to the exact release date now though.i think the October date is for the London Premiere or Film Festival or something.i want to see it but not enough to make the trek down there.the nationwide release date isnt until next year i dont think
the new Gondry film looks interesting as well.its called Be Kind, Rewind and its a comedy about 2 guys (Jack Black and Mos Def) who run a video store and somehow they erase all the films on the videos so they tape themselves re-enacting them and the customers end up loving them and they become a success http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7C8nHAAs70
oh by the way,boosbaby,i watched Candy.it was great.thanks for that
EDIT:what other drug films do you recommend? i love Trainspotting,Human Traffic,24 Hour Party People and Requiem For A Dream.any others? got a bit of an obsession with them myself as well.haha

i was going to recommend requium for a dream but you already saw that one. that is the best in my opinion. followed by trainspotting. SPUN was okay from what i remember, its been a long time since i seen that one tho, dont remember it so much. cant think of any others right now that you didnt already mention.

I've only just now seen "300" and I was really disappointed. The digitalization was cool as was the sound but why go to all the trouble of changing everthing we know about the Spartans when that entire society was just so out there that the real thing is way stranger and wilder than the fiction they came up with. If you ever want your jaw to drop in disbelief, find a little summary of what the Trojans were really like! They were certainly one hell of an ordered and efficient society but not before or since has there been a society so strange and so wild! ...and "kinkier" that anyone could ever dream up on their own! I really didn't like it for that reason.

just blind bought Deconstructing Harry from Woody Allen.AMAZING film.its very similar to Adaptation in ways.its a character study of a writer who gets tangled up in his semi-autobiographical novels.i get the sense that the actual script is semi-autobiographical of Allens life as well.this is up there with Annie Hall and Manhattan as one of Allens best.i absolutely loved it
also saw Finchers new flick Zodiac.brilliant.even better than Se7en.it was weird because it was a serial killer film that wasn't about the serial killer.it really focused on the detectives and the clues and the procedures.really puts you in the place of the detective.great way to do a film.

The last movie I saw was "Superbad." It was funny, but definitely not wholesome. It was pretty vulgar; not a film you'd want to go take your kids to.

American Gangster was excellent...the fact that it was based on complete truth makes it even better

If that's what you think, I'll see it ASAP.
How many decent gangster films have there been lately?
*Waits for someone to mention the 50 cent film and pmsl*
