Aha, gold star for you then. I can't remember where else he's used Gimme Shelter, is it in Goodfellas?

Goodfella's & Casino if memory serves me correct.

I've seen both of those and I don't remember hearing it all! :o

 

It's used in loads of films (Layer Cake is another one), it's a great song.

I watched Syriana last night. Maybe I'm being thick, but I was found it confusing as hell, despite really concentrating on it and being completely sober. Basically it has about 5 slowly converging stories, loads of characters, and loads of locations. Despite the stories proceeding in chronological order, it made little sense to me. I wouldn't recommend it.

You aren't thick. Stephen Gaghan just can't writew a script to save his life.

The Departed

Very enjoyable, easily better than Infernal Affairs I thought. Jack is class but I thought Martin Sheen was the best of the lot. He was the only one who didn't try and play the cool hard man that'll get remembered like Joe Pesci, he played it more like Ronnie Corbett, for that he stood out above everyone. One question, what was with the brown envelope?

 

Thankyou for Smoking

A very witty film, I thoroughly enjoyed. I was worried with 20 minutes to go that it might be turning into a romp, but I think it walked that line just about right. Surprised it hasn't got more praise than it seems to have. Rob Lowe is especially funny.

 

The New World

Seemed to be cut to ribbons, especially for the first 45 minutes or so, I'd love to see the full 150 minute version because what there is in the DVD released is gorgeous. Not Malick's best like, but it reminded me a great deal of Aguirre, which is never a bad thing.

 

Persona

A freaky, freaky film. I don't know what was going on, I don't know what it is trying to say, but it looked great, and her orgy story was very erotic.

 

3 Iron

Slow, but still good.

I think that was backups to all the tapes and evidence he had against Damon's character. There's a brief mention towards the end of the film but nothing more.

I'm talking about the long, slim, brown envelope, he gave to her in person before he went into hiding for a bit. Not the white square envelope containing a vcd he posts to MAAATTT DAAAMON that she opens anyway.

He sent the white envelope to Sullivan (Damon), not the bird, who he gave the brown envelope to. He didn't know the bird and Sullivan were together.

hmmm, seems odd to me, it being a slim flat envelope he gave her, not the right size for a cd or a tape. If he was doing copies wouldn't he package them all the same?

 

Whatever.
