remember the time i made a thread for people to talk about the movies they've seen recently and how they feel in their hearts about them? and how it disappeared without warning and i cried?

i think it might be time for a new one. only because i am on a mission to see all five best picture nominees even if it means shitting my pants with brad pitt for two and a half hours. well also because i have been watching movies up the ass lately what with no internet at home.

i'm kinda drunk so i won't say too much now, but i want to tell the world right now that i watched carrie for the first time in like twenty years and holy shit i forgot how great. and also holy shit that i can say anything happened twenty years ago and i remember it. gross.

ALSO i have been having big fat robert altman-gasms lately. anyone else feel the love? i mean if you can make me like tim robbins its a done deal.

Thanks cricket for making a good thread.

The last movie I saw was Grave of the Fireflies, a moving tale about a brother and sister who get separated from their mother during WW2 and have to fend for themselves. For an anime, it's actually quite realistic. There are some really spectacular visualisations, but this flick is all about the plot. I think it's one of the best was films I've ever seen. Defo rec.

My parents went to see Carrie went they were dating, heh.

Ah i thank you Cricket - i missed this thread

i went to see Valkyire and Milk at the weekend.

Milk was GREAT me and my friend were so fucking sad at the end. Sean Penn was excellent - i hadn't really noticed him much before this, but this film made me totally appreciate him as an actor.

Valkyrie contrary to what my dad read in the papers is actually somewhat accurate to the original story? or so i read on wikipedia. it was quite good. what gave me a bit of a mindfuck though was the way Hitler just signed that document after barely reading it, wasn't he totally micro-managerial?

Can't wait to see both Milk and Valkyrie

Did anyone see Tom Cruise on the Jonathan Ross comeback? He looks all different... like, really thin and about 20 years younger. I hope the scientologists haven't been dissecting him :-/

i watched Slumdog Millionaire last night, it could have been fascinating but disintegrated into utter shit in the last half hour.

Like...utter, utter shit. Awful. Hilarious.

Danny Boyle should have stopped at trainspotting. Sunshine wasn't that great either.
