Park Life 71 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Straight outta Compton.... the distinctly non-gangsta Mrs PL thought it was pretty good....she was busy being a bit of a goth during the period in question (roughly 86-96) which also saw gangsta rap in general become huge, guns and roses/cock rock rise to prominence, dance/rave/techno music coming out of the clubs and entering the mainstream, then nirvana and grunge appearing and killing cock rock stone dead. What will we be saying next year about 2006-2016?....kanye tried to give Tyler's award to Beyonce and continues to be a bit of a prick? These films...I mean really?

David Kelly 1260 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The Room. Without doubt the most utterly awful film I've ever seen. I loved it. I think it's supposed to be a drama but it has the look of some sort of soft core porn. There are a number of utterly hilarious sex scenes in (with the main guy always seeming to giggle during it and inexplicably getting a rose involved in the act), sub plots that go absolutely nowhere and are dispensed with as if they never happened and some of the worst dialouge ever. The acting is the absolute star though. I went to my ten year olds school play in July and every single one of those kids had more talent than all of these people who were paid to make this. It's absolutely incredible that someone gave the director/star the go ahead to make this. I can only assume he's a wealthy guy and financed it himself but I'm glad he did because it's utterly brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Oh hi Mark.I was just reading through some of the quotes on IMDB and I don't think it's comes across how bad the writing is until you see and hear it on film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31225 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Entourage the movie. I loved the show till the last season, which felt rushed. And I'm afraid to say it didn't really suit the longer format either. 4/10 I enjoyed it. Felt like an extended episode with as many cameos as they could cram in but everyone got a happy ending and overall was worth an hour and a half.

toonotl 3116 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm watching The Song Remains The Same. What the fuck is all this shit at the start? Gangster shootouts, a bloke pushing his bike up a hill, two daft twats blaring along in a convertible. They must have been fucking wrecked making this. The gangster thing was Bonzo's idea I think. From memory they each got to choose some sort of scene each or whatever for the film. Haven't watched it in awhile. Too much money, way too many drugs.

Gemmill 46088 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Plant on the back of a horse with a bird of prey on his arm ffs. Amazing. The concert footage is unbelievable though. I obviously knew Page was a great guitarist but he was unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fucking awesome, man He's made some other stuff since but it's crap because it's meant to be tongue-in-cheek whereas the beauty of The Room is that it's done totally straight. The main geezer did finance it himself, you're right. He even had a billboard up for it in Hollywood for years at his own expense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Room_%28film%29#Promotion I think the scenes on the roof are the best. The bit with the drug dealer looking to settle a debt. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4851 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Watched Spy last night. Overall some quite funny bits such as Jason Statham playing a shit spy. However very vulgar with a few minute section on cocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22185 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The film was promoted almost exclusively through a single billboard in Hollywood, located on Highland Avenue just north of Fountain, featuring an image Wiseau refers to as "Evil Man": an extreme close-up of his own face with one eye in mid-blink.[11][15] Although more conventional artwork was created for the film, featuring the main characters' faces emblazoned over the Golden Gate Bridge, Wiseau chose the "Evil Man" for what he regarded as its provocative quality; around the time of the film's release, the image led many passers-by to believe that The Room was a horror film.[11] Wiseau also paid for a small television and print campaign in and around Los Angeles, with taglines calling The Room "a film with the passion of Tennessee Williams".[3] Despite the film's failure to enjoy immediate success, Wiseau paid to keep the billboard up for over five years, at the cost of $5,000 a month.[8] Its bizarre imagery and longevity led to it becoming a minor tourist attraction.[3][8]When asked how he managed to afford to keep the billboard up for so long in such a prominent location, Wiseau responded: "Well, we like the location, and we like the billboard. So we feel that people should see The Room. [...] we are selling DVDs, which are selling okay." OK, so I have to watch this now. i'm intrigued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
