Peacefield Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Where the Wild Things Are Spike Jonze, BookJumper. Spike Jonze . You can't go wrong! Quote
BookJumper Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Spike Jonze, BookJumper. Spike Jonze . You can't go wrong!Ah yes, obviously.* * who ? Quote
Peacefield Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 He's one of my fave directors, BookJumper . He did 'Being John Malkovich' and 'Adaptation.' Have you seen either of those? Quote
BookJumper Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Nou ... I have always wanted to see Being John Malkovich (incidentally, an actor I find amazing) though. Quote
Peacefield Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I think you seriously need to consider running to the 24 hour movie rental place (do they have those in London?!) and procure this film, BookJumper! It is amazingness and such a good film, truly . If you can't get it at 3am in the morning, try to make it your next film-seeing experience, okay? You won't regret it I promise! Quote
BookJumper Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Hmmm. I'm not sure if we have them and if we did, I'm not about to leave the estate at 2am - it's alright as far as council blocks of flats go but I do value my limbs. That said, I will try to make it my next film-seeing experience I'm bound to be very opinionated about it when I do see it, so I'll be posting a linky to the inevitable IMBD review for your perusal. Quote
Peacefield Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Well, no pressure, but I am full of confidence that you will love it . I look forward to seeing your review! Quote
lexiepiper Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Don't hate me, but I really didn't like Being John Malkovich But then again...I don't really like John Malkovich, so that could have had something to do with it Quote
libri vermis Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Honestly, I didn't like the movie Being John Malkovich either, and I don't have feelings either way towards the actor. Quote
BookJumper Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 then again...I don't really like John Malkovich, so that could have had something to do with it Possibly ! To be fair, my opinions are but based on the splendid job he did as Javert in the European TV Les Miserabl Quote
Mexicola Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Looking forward to Where the Wild Things Are and A Serious Man - love the Coen Bros! Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I saw an advert for a film with Michael Cain in last night but I can't remember what it was called. That looked interesting, something about him living in an area where there is a gang terrorising the neighbourhood. I'll have to go look it up. Quote
Peacefield Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Me too, Mexicola! Coen bros are amoung my favorites for sure . I could never hate you, Lexie! I guess I can see why 'Being John Malkovich' wouldn't appeal to everyone, but I love odd films like this. I do also like Malkovich and John Cusack, so it was a win-win for me. Can ask you guys why you didn't like the film? Quote
libri vermis Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 It's been awhile since I have seen it, and I do like John Cusack, but I guess the film seemed sort of pointless to me. Bu then, maybe that was the point of the movie. Quote

Bu then, maybe that was the point of the movie. Yeah I think that was it for me too, kinda pointless and very random haha. Interesting concept though Quote
Inver Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Just seen the trailer at cinema for 'the men who stare at goats' George Clooney, Ewan McGregor,....looks quite funny. Quote
BookJumper Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Nowhere Boy, about John Lennon's early days. Not sure about the actor playing him but the little boy from Love Actually has grown up, is playing Paul McCartney and man, does he look like young Paulie!!! Oh and, the Beatlemaniac friend who told me about this also agreed to come see The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus with me so I won't have to wait until the DVD... whooo!!! Quote
Nollaig Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Just seen the trailer at cinema for 'the men who stare at goats' George Clooney, Ewan McGregor,....looks quite funny. Yeahh a mate showed me that trailer. Looks pretty neat! Quote
Fi. Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 I'm going to see Men Who Stare At Goats as soon as it appears at our local cinema - I got a glowing recommendation about it so I have to, plus the clips I've seen look great! Trust our Odeon not to be showing it yet Quote
Peacefield Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 I'm waiting for this one to come to town as well, Fi, it looks hilarious! Quote
Fi. Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 It really does, just hoping it's not one of those movies where all the funniest bits are in the trailers! Having said that, my movie critic loved it and he's very hard to please Quote

I haven't heard anything about this! Is it a widely-released film, or just a small independent film? (Trying to work out if it will come out over here.) It sounds great, and I would love to see that kid from Love Actually all grown up. He was adorable. Quote
BookJumper Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Ooh! I haven't heard anything about this! Is it a widely-released film, or just a small independent film? (Trying to work out if it will come out over here.)I hadn't either but I've just checked and it's coming out at Vue cinemas in London the day after Christmas - Vue is as mainstream as cinemas get so the film should reach your neck of the woods no problem. Looking forward to it but I'm also apprehensive, given me and my friend's passion for and knowledge of the subject matter we'll either laugh and cry and love it, or rant and rage our way through the film if they start getting things wrong. I also would have been interested to see Me and Orson Welles, about Welles's historical production of Shakespeare Julius Caesar. But it's got (wait for it) Zac Efron in it. That... that shouldn't dare touch the Bard with a bargepole . Quote
Kylie Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Thanks Giulia! I'm also a big fan of Orson Welles, so I may keep an eye out for that as well. Quote
