Plus, Spike Lee is an utter bellend. What the fuck has it got to do with him? Is he the King of All Black People? Does his opinion count more than the black folk who support the film completely and it's portrayal of slavery? Give me a film like that over fukkin Roots anyday.

I'm split on Spike cos he "was" a really good Director & a could have been a worthy spokesman for inner city Black youth . Trouble is he disappeared up his own arse n that annoys me .
The thing that really made me think he had lost it was the "Larry Bird escapade" it made Spike look fukin stupid & if anything a racist himself .

Could have done so much more for "His people " is what i think .
 
Totally agree, Brimz. He's made some classic films but once he got it into his head that he was the spokesman for every African-American from the first slave brought ashore til the end of time he's annoyed the shit outta me. I really don't like some of the stuff he comes out with. Very divisive sometimes imo. Speaking up for equality is a Good Thing but he comes over kinda... almost unsavoury sometimes. Frankly, kinda racist even. Does my tits in. And he very rarely makes any films worth watching these days.

He just doesn't seem to comprehend the idea that maybe his opinion isn't shared by every black person in the world (or even America). Nor that other opinions could possibly have merit themselves. Very much pronouncement from "on high" that he just seems to presume have to be FACT.

I seriously think its one of the best films of the decade
Its only real serious competition is "There will be Blood"
Its rare to see 3 actors on the very top of their form
Its a sign of a director on the top of their form


Ed Norton
Seymour-Hoffman
Barry Pepper

Saw Skyfall earlier and to be honest thought it was dross. The baddy was fairly twisted and acted well but it couldn't hold up this 'Bond-by-numbers' drizzle fest.

I wasn't impressed either. The never ending supply of full magazine HK MP5's at the end in a retro shotgun shoot fest rather spoilt it too.
 
I recently re watched Walter Hills 'The Warriors' and the Tarrantino discussion here reminded me that
the K Billy d j character and the style of the 0sound track of Reservoir Dogs is a complete lift from Hill's reworking of Xenophon's Anabasis.

Although The Warriors can be seen as part of the Urban decay cycle of 70's Hollywood movies that begin with The French Connection and culminate in Blade Runner, it is highly influential and watchable in its own right, if you ignore the thin plotting, characterisation and contempt for the geography of the NY subway. Great theme music by Joe Walsh too.
 
Forget this Django unchained, it's a load of bash.
Watch Django from 1966 :)

I also highly recomend........

lone wolf and cub series
Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance
Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx
Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades
Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in Peril
Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in the Land of Demons
Lone Wolf and Cub: White Heaven in Hell

The Street fighter (with Sonny Chiba)

Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky

The Warriors has been one of my favourite films for as long as I can remember.

I seen it on its theatrical release and it has improved with age, only recently I seen it as part of a loose series of 1970s pictures mostly set in NY city that have been influenced by the idea urban dystopia, they include 2 by two by John Carpenter, Assault on Precinct 13, Escape from New York, two by scorcese, Taxi Driver and Mean streets, two by Lumet, Serpico and Dog Day afternoon and John Sargent's the taking of Pelham 123, you could also include Pacino's debut the dope opera, Panic in Needle Park.
I am sure that many or all have seen many or all of these movies but they are all worth re watching, I am going to watch Serpico tonight.

Van Cortlandt Park where the gang concave is held and woodlawn Cemetery into which the Warriors escape were the venue for some lovely acid trips and sunny afternoons smoking weed that gives the film an extra element to me.
 
I'm going to try and watch Django Unchained for the third time tonight. Last two times I've fallen asleep half way through. Drugs were involved, AH7921 specifically. I even took a load of 4-FA to try and keep me awake last night but it made no difference. If you want to sleep, AH7921 is a first-class ticket to nod-land, for me anyway.

So no opiates tonight, just Tarantino.

You have taste Shambles :)

Some of those fights make me laugh so much, you never seen Sonny Chiba?......

The Nomi Song (2004 documentary) (The Klaus Nomi Odyssey)
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xr...-outer-space-to-save-the-human-rac_shortfilms

If you don't know who Klaus Nomi was you should still watch this film.
He was a gay German Pastry chef that went to the USA & began in clubs doing a weird act & did all sorts of music & sang in the most amazing high Opera voice.
I got into him from my woman & this film actually made me cry as his life was so sad in the end, he got AIDS in the 1980's & everyone dropped him & was left to die alone.
I can't recomend it enough.

Klaus Nomi_The Cold Song (live) - Nomi sings the air of the cold genius from Purcell's "King Arthur"
He was dead around 2 months after this was taken & was into full blown AIDS at this time :(
