Wes Anderson may well be my favourite director... him or the Cohen's. Rushmore and Life Aquatic are two of my favourite films of all time. The rest ain't bad but those two are just pretty hard to beat.

I like Wes Anderson, his 'quirky' style really appeals to me. But the Coen Brothers....my god. They are one special duo. Ever since my young eyes graced Miller's Crossing I've been a massive fan of theirs. Fargo is another film I love by them, as well as Raising Arizona. But for me, they absolutely surpassed themselves with No Country For Old Men, and True Grit. The latter of which is my favourite western since The Assassination of Jesse James.

Yeah, I love those directors too. I thought 'The Life Aquatic' was an understated masterpiece, and Murrays best performance since Ghostbusters.

'Millers Crossing', 'The Big Lebowski' and 'Burn After Reading' are my fave Coen Brother films, each bringing something different to the table. The latter film woke me up to how utterly talented Brad Pitt is as an actor, and the very last lines of the film just complete it perfectly. Hilarious!

and the very last lines of the film just complete it perfectly.

It is possibly my favourite final line in a movie ever! Up there with Alien and (yes!) Casino Royale.

THe J.K Simmons bit at the end? Ah I loved it! Coen Brothers are without a doubt my favourite film makers, Millers Crossing being my favourite film.

It's a Funtime old world!
I'm genuinely surprised to see that so many people on the 2000ad board are fans of Wes Anderson. I can't bear his self consciously quirky brand of schmaltz. I've always found the Coen Brothers to be...well I was going to say overrated but it's probably not the right term. I've quite liked some of their films but none would be anywhere near my top 50.
Horses for courses.

What did we learn, Palmer?

CIA OFFICER
I don't know, sir.

CIA SUPERIOR
I don't fuckin' know either. I guess we learned not to do it again.
   
CIA OFFICER
Yes, sir.
   
CIA SUPERIOR
I'm fucked if I know what we did.

Yes, sir, it's, uh, hard to say

IRON MAN 3. Fun enough, rather a lot of zaniness for people self exploding but very good end battle with lots if Iron men suits zapping da bad guys and the brilliant rescue- the- fallers from the  plane scene. Not really well explained what Guy Pierce was ultimately after anyway, "Sir" Ben Kingsley stole the show iMHO and made a rather different Mandarin but the twist such as it was did just about work, alas no reveals for other Marvel movies at the end.

It was really winding me up who the voice of JARVIS was I and to look it up, the bloody credits being tiny on my old TV-Paul Bettany.

Rush - Pseudo-biopic off the 1976 F1 season focusing on the 'rivalry' between James Hunt and Nicki Lauda. The race scenes were fun and Lauda's accident needlessly graphic, but in the end rather unsatisfying as it ends not with a conclusion, but more like a fadeout.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - The original Swedish version. I've not read the book and I resisted seeing this one due to the rape scene. Good film, but the rape scene was way over the top for me and not really necessary. In the end it was a good film, but I'll never watch it again.

Is it as bad as the rape scene in Irreversible?  That is one of the most harrowing things I've ever seen.

No, it isn't.

Watched Blade Runner last night. One of the versions without the narration. Definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen.

had you not seen it before?  I'm so jealous.  I'd love to see that again for first time.  I got the five disc special thing a few years ago with the workprint, the original theatrical us, the directors cut and the final cut (and another version i think).  I watched them all, but i still prefer the directors cut to all the rest, the original release version is like Dune - it looks awesome, but it makes no sense.

Safe House, which is the film for you if your favourite genre of film is the Routine Action Thriller with an unaccountably big star in what's ostensibly a supporting role (see also From Paris With Love). Before that, I finally got round to renting Prometheus. You all warned me.
