Last movie watched...

A friend of mine said it was good forum etiquette. I shall 'suggest' to my friend he doesn't know what he's on about.

Double spacing usually refers to double spacing between lines, rather than words, but that would also be bloody annoying! I wonder if they meant using double returns between paragraphs, which I much prefer for reading on screen to other paragraph formatting...?

Cheers!

Furthermore, I'd have to say everything Professah Byah said about Prometheus in the preceding post is, sadly, on the money.  Which confuses the fuck out of me because I still somehow managed to enjoy that film...

Nothing confusing about that - I enjoyed Battleground: Earth, Judge Dredd 95, Star Trek V and ID4, but they are still terrible films on almost every level.

I'm watching Bad Taste.

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

Super 8. Jolly good it was too. Quite suprised to see J J Abrahms name attached to it.

[TordelBack]

Pardon me asking, but why the fuck are you double spacing everything? It's really annoying.

Remind me, what is it you do for a living again, Jim? 

[Mardroid]

Paul.

I enjoyed it although I could have done without the rather heavy handed preachy atheistic message.*

Light hearted, fun and very funny in places. While not part of the Cornetto trilogy, it would fit well in that category (except then it would be a quadrilogy. Unless we're going with Hitchhiker's dubious numbering system).  And some of the line homages to sci-fi/fantasy stuff was amusing. (No doubt I missed some.)


*Actually the existence of such a humanoid alien, would support the notion of creation theory/guided evolution, surely? Sure he doesn't look human, but he's got a lot in common with us. Now, if he'd been a blob instead of a Grey...

I'm watching Bad Taste.

Great film, and Brain Dead. The effects look a bit dated now but they are still exceptional/hilarious films.

Cheers

I watched Dusk 'til Dawn straight after and the blowing shit away with the muzzle of your gun sticking out of the back of one of your assailant had become commonplace by this time.

Bad Taste being my first recorded viewing of the phenomenon.

Our favourite quote over here is

"I'm a Derek. And Dereks don't run."

Still haven't seen Bad Taste, really must get round to it as I love Braindead.

I always thought they'd reissue all of PJ's old movies following Lotr, but they didn't as far as I can tell.

[Hoagy]

I personally like Braindead better as I saw that one first. But when you take a step back they're as good as each other.

Whole of Bad Taste online Rads...

[Cursed Earth Dweller]

Ah Braindead, the one gore flick that made me wan't to vommit as a child and still does.

[Hoagy]

But you eat the alien sick?




yup

[Mardroid]

Ah, Braindead. A guy at work leant me the video (yep VHS not DVD, although they were around that time) years back when he knew I liked the Evil Dead films.

Very enjoyable. I particularly like that dry kiwi humour

"Not all of it."[/spoiler]

That just tickled me, sick puppy that I am.

[Cursed Earth Dweller]

But you eat the alien sick?




yup

Thanks a lot, you just made me hurl my breakfast.

District 9, inspired by my love for Dredd3D.  Hey, that was really good!  Particularly loved the locations and the alien weapons, and some of the performances in the 'interviews', and was surprised to find Wikus' character arc so engaging .  Not that I think these kind of ground-level films need over-arching explanations, but does anyone have any suggestions as to what the aliens' story actually was?  Why was [spoiler]the miracle fluid in tech scattered across the settlement[/spoiler]? Was Christopher a typical alien, or were there different castes?
