Aye, I had to bury my cat the week before after some charva's dog killed it. The ending fucking killed me :lol:

 

And it's Moss, not Moz ;)

Ugh that's minging about your cat. I hate it when mine are out and I hear a dog going wild barking and growling. Especially since one of them thinks he can stalk and possibly chin dogs.

 

In other depressing animal news, my auntie had two dogs put down yesterday (both old and fucked).

I stood in the back lane for a week at the same time every day looking for the bloke. My house backs onto the woods and the local arseholes go rabbiting down there. The wife was gutted, he was only a year old.

 

(A neighbour saw it happen out of her window so I knew the gory details)

Looper

 

 

Really good watch. More I think about it, the more I liked it. Picking up on J69's comment, I do think that the end was a bit too tidy a resolution to the film. But otherwise, I thought it was great. Fantastic acting, great casting, cinematography was great as well - there were some shots which just stuck with you, like this one (NOT A SPOILER):

I'd give this film an 8.5/10. Well worth a watch, and shits on the contemporary films it has been lazily compared to in some reviews (Butterfly Effect, Inception).

 

EDIT: Much as I cannot stand him, I think Peter Bradshaw's guardian review of the film hit the nail on the head for a surface description of the film:

'Rian Johnson's Looper is very exciting and very confusing at the same time: a gripping time-travel, sci-fi thriller indebted to Christopher Nolan's Memento and James Cameron's The Terminator, but with its own creepiness and muscular sense of urgency.'

 

Watched last night. I don't think it shits on Inception at all, but I did enjoy it a great deal. Especially the Austin Powers bit when Bruce Willis told the audience not to worry about the science behind the time travel, about drawing diagrams and working out who is when and why, to paraphrase "none of that shit matters" :D and he was right.

Thankfully the bairn has announced that he wants his daddy to take him to see The Smurfs 2 and not me.

 

I felt a bit pushed out for a minute but then every cloud.....

Passport To Pimlico

 

Quite a giggle, not to mention surprisingly prescient - it's broadly inspired by the previous year's Berlin Blockade, but some of the scenes are eerily reminiscent of when the Wall went up, more than a decade later. Can't say I expected an Ealing comedy to have me thinking about post-war German history. :lol:

And on film 4 at 17.10 today. I've set my TiVo for it.

Title-Propaganda.jpg

Since it mysteriously appeared on You Tube on July 18, 2012, Propaganda has been described as ‘1984 meets The Blair Witch Project’, ‘A mouthful of scary porridge’, and ‘Even better than Triumph of The Will.’

Controversial to its core, this hard-hitting anti-Western propaganda film, which looks at the influence of American visual and consumption culture on the rest of the world from a North Korean perspective, has also been described as ‘either a damning indictment of 21st Century culture or the best piece of propaganda in a generation.’

Class, will get that down me. As for this:

 

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind - My boy Sam Rockwell brings it as he always does and it's a decent enough watch. Some of it sees Clooney trying to be a bit too clever with his style though.

 

Coffee Town - Canny little comedy starring Glenn Howerton of It's Always Sunny fame. It's refreshing to see a comedy that spends its entire run-time building to a larger, silly set-piece at the end rather than contriving ways to string them together which seems to be the norm post-The Hangover
