RE: good movies for picking up the mood

Hey, these are all good ideas! i even have most of them but never thought to put them on... I must watch in the company of men again - I`d completely forgotten about that one.
I should be thinking "what would Ash do under these circumstances?"

hail to the king baby!

good movies for picking up the mood

Hi People,
I`ve been a bit down for the last couple of months - was dumped - but am now seriously wanting to bounce back... its harder than it sounds though. Last night i chucked Fight Club on and it cheered me up quite a fair bit.
Can anyone recommend any other "two fingers in the air" type movies? I considered Alfie but thought that by the time i got to the "shadows? on my lungs?" bit I`d be doing more harm than good.
So, any ideas?

RE: Region 1 DVD Sales in Central London

I know one place but the prices are a joke! when pirates of the caribbean came out on region 1 I saw someone pay £30 for it! I nearly slapped him round the face...
I bought a mag in there and the fellow said, "going for the cheaper option then?"
What a p155take - the cheaper option is the internet... chump!

where is good/cheap then?

RE: I`ve got spare tickets for a taping of Rob Brydon next week

Me too, I have four spare tickets as I can`t make it at all. If anyone fancies a DVDreviewer night out I`ll stick them in the post... Byt the way I am gutted Marion and Geoff was the funniest ten minute programme on telly last year.
The company also sent me four tickets to a Angus Deayton programme by mistake... these are for monday 26th, recording on the south bank.
as before let me know if you are interested.

RE: Films that you heard of in school but never saw until leaving....

Another infamous porno from my school days was, "the enema bandit" I never saw that one though.

RE: Big Fish

My brother`s missus - okay my sister in law - saw this last thursday and said it was "really good, but a bit sad" She refused to tell me anymore.

RE: Films that you heard of in school but never saw until leaving....

I saw animal farm while at school and it was disgusting - although at the time I can remember sitting eating pizza with my mates while watching it, these daysI could not stand to have it in the house. I feel sorry for the animals now - those women were boilers.

RE: Anyone living in Reading...?

I used to live in Reading and work in London. Now I live in Kent.
I can say that the Pizza Express is good - though personally I don`t use them. Too often my dough balls have arrived after - or during - my pizza... Its a little thing I know, but you`ve got to have principles.
I rented a flat near the Oracle... a one bed with combined kitchen and sitting room. The 2000 cat swinging competition was held elsewhere that year despite the flat having a whopping and crippling £650 a month rent. Still it was a nice area I suppose.
As for the commute.. its very expensive and I spent a lot of time waiting at paddington for trains, and waiting between stations for my train to get to reading..
on the journey in, I worked in tower hill so had to get the circle and the district line.. one morning the journey took so long that i had aged considerably. I went in a young 24 year old and exited with grey hair and a beard. To be honest I did not have a good time while i lived there.
Still, I`m a moaning, miserable cynic who would probably find something to complain about if Hef rented me a room with a glass floor above the bunny changing room in his playboy mansion... "there`s never any hot water" etc etc...

This question " what`s cut out of twister?" gave me an idea for another..
For no prize whatsoever can anyone tell me whats cut out of the R2 Bridget Jones` Diary?
Here`s a clue, its not Hugh Grant, but it could be.

First non-region 2 DVD bought

This is where everyone finds out what a newbie I am, but the first one I bought was Moulin Rouge for my girlfriend.. I can still remember the excitement of getting a DVD that was still on at the cinema and then doing the DVD hack to be able to watch it...
Seems like a long time ago now.

RE: Most Shocking Film

no worries - I knew it had a surprise ending, I just didn`t realise it was that surprising...
its one of many that i got for xmas so I probably won`t watch it for a while anyway, and my memory is bad enough that it won`t matter a fig by the time I get round to it... Before watching that I have my unrated scarface, babycart at the river styx, audition, ichi the killer, and many others to get through... I`m sure I`ll be all grossed out by then.
I just looked up scrapbook - http://www.horrordvdtalk.com/reviews/Scrapbook/scrapbook.html
I have to say that it looks pretty damn disturbing..

All the talk of Salo reminds me of a book I bought when doing my A-Levels. Called films of the 70s it included lots of pics from films like Salo and the Tin Drum. Without having seen either I know that they both include things that I would find disturbing. One of the pics for Salo showed a woman being scalped while for the Tin Drum there was a description of someone catching eels from the sea using a horses head as bait.. the thought of a horse`s head spilling out eels has never left me...

I`ve never eaten them since... Eels that is, not horses heads.

RE: Most Shocking Film

Aaaargh! SPOILER ALERT!
I got that for Xmas and haven`t seen it yet... luckily I`m a bit of a skim reader so other than "bursts of energy" and "stomach" I`m still none the wiser.

nb - this relates to Dead or Alive.. not scrapbook, never heard of that one.

RE: Play`s region 1 section

Cheers fella, will try that. but having run the canadian prices through the XE currency converter Play now looks to be pretty damn expensive... its a shame, I always liked buying from there and region 2 DVDs just don`t have the same allure...
I hope CDWOW sticks to its guns.


If its on I`m on it

Play`s region 1 section

Does anyone know whats going on with Play? do they still ship region 1 DVDs to the UK? when I looked they were offering DVDs but with Canadian $ prices.

The talk of legal action from the BPI must have put the wind up their sales...

RE: Free DVD in Saturdays `The Mirror`

Cool news,
Like the film and will add this to my other free DVDs - Ipcress File and Brief encounter and Carry on Doctor... Years ago the independent gave me a free copy of the Grifters on video... I wish they`d do the same with the DVD now
