Strange%20Days.jpg


Strange Days, cyber punky thriller from Kathyrn Bigelow (Point Break, Near Dark and HUrtlocker) and written by her fella James Cameron. Very cool, excellent cast with Ralph Fiennes, Tom Sizemore and Juliette Lewis.
 
^Except Tom Sizemore looks like shit and thats before he became Captain Meth....
And as usual Michael Wincott is a baddie. Is there a film where he plays a good guy? Seriously I just looked at the list of films he's in and he's some type of bad motherfucker in just about all of them...The Crow,1492,Along came a spider.....not the nicest person ever in Alien:resurection.
So vaguely related to that I might as well say:
Alien_movie_poster.jpg

as its in my top 10 favourites ever, although my views on the sequels varies.
 
Todays views on my quadrilogy boxset would be
Alien : 10 (directors cut pointless)
Aliens Directors cut : 8 (Theatrical cut pointless)
Alien 3 Assembly cut : 8 (theatrical cut is bag o shite compared to it)
Alien Resurection : 7 (directors cut pointless)
bonus discs : 10...fuck me it would take a week to get through.....had it a year so maybe I should try!

I haven't seen either of the AVP movies but everything I've read about them says UTTER BOLLOCKS or thereabouts....I however will read any comics with them in.
 
Did some cunt tie you down8o
I've heard that AVP is marginally ok if you leave all your expectations at the door, but Alien Vs Predator Requiem is the zero out of 10 film par excellence!
The problem is knowing that its supposed to be one of the worst films ever actually makes me want to watch it:\
 
Batman vs Alien vs Predator is pretty damn good for a low budget short film.

Watched Strange Days as recommended on here the other night, very enjoyable. A bit predictable in places but I enjoyed the story ad some of the acting performances. I'm an absolute sucker for things set in a grimy authoritarian near future, if anyone has any recommendations along those lines it'd be great :D.

I downloaded this the other day. The fact it's 2 hours 40 minutes long keeps putting me off watching it. I'll get round to it soon. I would watch it on Sunday but I think it may be spent mushroom hunting then mushroom eating as I'm off work Monday & the maws away hoorin it in Spain or Tenerife or some other foreign place.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dystopian_films
Fuck me theres a lot....I should list the ones I've seen off that list.
Hmm thats too much time for me currently,but :
1984 - is useful to watch and compare to the book and Brazil.
Metropolis - I've seen 2 different cuts and there's loads of different soundtracks available to it, and I'm desperate for them to finally release the longest cut available which was locked in a basement for x00 years.
Omega Man and any other version of I am legend are all not so good compared to the original book.
Logans Run - I hear its softcore compared to the novel...quel fucking surprise.
The Handmaids Tale - Again read the book, although this film may be of interest to you.
Soylent Green - So so, but its kind of fun to watch, especially alongside Omega Man for full blooded Hestonitis;)
Dark City - I have the region 1 original issue which has more features than the region 2 version, but suposedly the directors cut is the best. Anyway its got Jennifer Conelly in which is always a reason to watch anything:)
Rollerball is really good.
Johnny Mnemonic is a bag of balls but the original story by William Gibson is not.
Akira is really good, but again the original manga is over 2000 pages and is cut to fuck for the anime.

We all know that this is the best film of the 80's (or Raging Bull, but damn sure not Working Girl;)):
Blade_Runner_poster.jpg

In the Final cut version as the theatrical cut is incorrect. I have the double disc which has a massive documentary and other stuff, although one day I suppose I might pick up the 5 disc box set and watch one version a day.....if someone will supply the medication:D

I've actually seen the majority of films on that list! Blade Runner is my favourite film ever probably I've seen 5 different cuts of it: theatrical, directors cut, final cut, workprint and a surprisingly well done fan-made cut that has 3 different audio options and most of the deleted scenes re-inserted into the film.

Johnny Mnemonic is a guilty pleasure of mine, I am a sucker for a shit film, Keanu's usual woodeness plus amazingly bad star turns by Ice-T, Takeshi Kitano, Dolph Lundgren and Henry Rollins adds up to a whole lot of win :D. I've read quite a few Gibson books and there was a lot of little nods to stuff in the film which I also enjoyed.

I've read the Handmaids tale, I'll have to check out the film version and Omega Man also cheers.

I quite like strange days, good sound track too.
 
skunk anansie were actually in the film briefly weren't they? there was a tricky track in there as well
 
Have you seen Gattaca?
Never seen it as Uma Thurmans face has fail written on it,.....now if only Jennifer Connelly were in it:)
Have you seen the directors cut of Dark City, and if so how does it differ apart from missing off the beginning voiceover?
 
I've got Gattaca and enjoy it despite my distaste for Ethan Hawke, it's very much like Brave New World but has it's own strong story set within the very Huxley based Society.

I think I've only ever seen the directors cut of Dark City so really have no idea about the differences, I loved the feeling of past and future worlds overlapped.
 
Tideland_cover.jpg


Tideland

A Terry Gilliam film adapted from a book by Mitch Cullin. A fucking.... weird yet delightfully beautiful film. Aquoteeee:

Tideland centers on an abandoned child, Jeliza-Rose (Jodelle Ferland), and her solitary adventures during one summer in rural Texas while staying at a rundown farmhouse called What Rocks, and focuses on the increasingly dark, imaginative fantasy life the girl creates with the aid of dismembered Barbie doll heads that she often wears on her fingertips. With names such as Mustique, Sateen Lips, Baby Blonde and Glitter Gal, the doll heads not only engage in long conversations with Jeliza-Rose, reflecting different aspects of the girl's psyche, but also act as her companions while she explores the barren Texas landscape.

After her mother (Jennifer Tilly) dies from a drug overdose, Jeliza-Rose and her father, Noah (Jeff Bridges), flee to Noah's mother's home, a remote Texas farmhouse. They find the home abandoned, but they settle in anyway. Their first night there, Noah dies from a heroin overdose. For much of the rest of the film, Noah's corpse remains seated upright in a living room chair with sunglasses covering his eyes.
