Films! good, bad, recomendations, and general film talk

[Mr. Air]

Luckily it's rather seldom that I fall asleep while watching a movie, but if I'm worn out after a hard day it can happen. It begins with the eyelids gently clossing and before I even notice I have been dozing for a short while.

One time drunk I managed to fall alseep while having a conversation with one of my buddies. I never knew what hit me!

oh, i could probably fall asleep on a clothesline. :lol:

and the fugitive kicks ass.

If you ever get a picture of yourself sleeping on a clothesline please post it here  :D

[dave_mc]

how do i take a picture of myself asleep?

:lol:

but yeah, i will. i doubt i'll ever get one, though, it's more a figure of speech (i hope)...

I can see that it might be a wee bit difficult for you to take a picture of yourself sleeping. But if someone caught you sleeping on a clothes line...  :lol:

[dave_mc]

yeah, i know... need to practice stealth clothesline sleeping i guess. :lol:

Watched Fargo last night, hadn't seen it for a while but it's a great film. The only Coen brothers I've seen that I actually enjoyed, then again I've only seen this and NCFOM which I didnt like at all.

So the "only" one of two?  :lol:

I think NCFOM is brilliant, but it's not typical Coens - it's based on a book and they they actually stuck pretty closely it, whereas most of their films are from their own original scripts.

Most of their films are worth watching, but some of the more recent ones feel like they're just going through the motions (Intolerable Cruelty and Burn After Reading are weak, and The Ladykillers is a bad remake of a great film).

You really should give The Big Lebowski a go, if nothing else.  :)

[_tom_]

haha yeah the only one of two :P I tried The Big Lebowski actually, I didn't get it.. maybe I should try again.

[badgermark]

Jeebus Tom you suck, the Coen Brothers are amazing! NCFOM was amazing and the Big Lebowski is a fantastic film. Give it another watch.

Oh and I'm having a binge on the russian -Watch films. Stuck on Night Watch last night and Day Watch is going on tonight. Awesome stuff.

[_tom_]

I tried to get into both of them and just couldn't. I'll try the Big Lebowski again then! Don't know if I can be bothered to sit through NCFOM again :P

The Big Lebowski is just SO good. One of my all time favourites!!! Give it a go, Tom.

I kinda know what you mean about NCFOM, I love it but the first time i tried watching it i gave up after ten minutes. Not cos it was bad, but I just had to be in the right mood for it. I was gripped by the end. Same for the Big Lebowski, didn't quite get it the first time (i was about 17 when i first watched it) but on watching it again five years later it all made sense.

[_tom_]

I think I must've been about 17 when I tried to watch it as well.. maybe at the grand age of almost 21 I'll get it now.

Saw Harry Brown last night. Michael Caine is awesome & is everything that Gran Torino isn't
