Bit of a backtrack there methinks. Your mate Mr Cameron would be proud!

Saw Danny Boyle's Trance at the weekend. Bloody good film, though a little confusing at times.
Not sure I'm convinced by James McAvoy in these types of roles though. Same also for Welcome to the Punch earlier this year where he was an on-the-edge maverick cop with a death wish. He's playing the lead in Irvine Welsh's Filth soon too - really, really can't picture him in that role at all after reading the book years ago. Will be interesting to see.

i thought 'trance' was truly terrible, although i can't remember why. oh yes, really REALLY good first two-thirds, and then it just descended into convoluted nonsense, didn't it? much like boyle's 'sunshine', actually. so frustrating.
anyway, i just wanted to say i like doctor who (the last series WAS shockingly bad, mind), and i think peter capaldi is a smashing choice. desperately sorry to see matt smith go, though - his performance was practically perfect in every way. i could wank on for ages about sci-fi in general and doctor who in particular, but i can't imagine anyone wants to see me get my geek on so i'll leave it at that.

I liked it but
the fact that the guy we were meant to be rooting for (McAvoy), turned out not to be the good guy
meant that there was a slightly hollow vibe at the end. But if you can watch it with a sightly detached approach then, yeah it's a fun ride.

I dont get much of a chance to sit down and watch tele but I did watch Stone Roses live at Blackpool on Virgin demand last night whilst ironing. Good performance that and a band that will never age.
Also finally saw the remaining episodes of series 3 of Mad Dogs. Yes its a load of nonsense but its entertaining nonsense and has a great cast.

Had a catch up session today/ tonight of Top Of The Lake. In total , 5 hours of viewing including tonight's episode. Pretty good series but starting to think all in one catch up sessions are not a good thing. Each episode ends up under digested and enjoyment of the series is slightly diluted .

It's a bit dumbed down in places and some of the stories can be weak but the concept is good. They've a lot of scope to play with - racial tensions between black and white, the Native Americans, North vs South, etc. Just a pity it isn't made my the likes of HBO else it could be a lot harder hitting. Same as Copper, which I think is BBC America? Nice idea in theory, but doesn't pull enough punches.

The Gatekeepers. Docu film about the Israeli intelligence agency Shin Beit. Couldn't get into it to be honest . Well made but a bit boring even if you're interested in the subject.

Factory™ wrote:Shut Up And Play The Hits - docu music film about LCD Soundsystem's final concert.On Film 4+1 now. Haven't seen this before and throwing away the chance of an early night for a change to watch it so it'd better be good Ah yes, this had a brief cinema release about a year ago. I bought the three-disc dvd of this a few months back. Still haven't watched it all. But what I have watched, I enjoyed. I caught LCD live four times in their all too brief career (well three times, plus a support slot for Daft Punk in Hyde Park 2007- it didn't feel like a proper LCD gig). I certainly never saw them play a 27 song set like they do on the DVD. At three and a half hours it's probably a little too long for a single gig, but it's a nice memento of a band that at times were just punk funk, and at times seemed to be touching on greatness.

It's a great doc, isn't it? Really enjoyed that. Regret now never seeing LCD live - it looked like a great, funky fucking party. But i thought James Murphy came across, i dunno, slightly more serious than i imagined he'd be somehow but he's great.Hadn't known their final gig was 4 hours long.Blimey. Very sad bit in the doc was near the end when we see Murphy alone in a cellar the morning after the final gig with all LCD's equipment packed up.The only noise is the humming of electricity and he breaks down in tears at the realisation it's all over. He really agonised over that decision to end the band.One tough fucking decision. Yeah, like you say, they at times seemed to be touching on greatness. Edited by user 07 September 2013 04:47:30(UTC)

It was bobbins. I really enjoyed it. I thought the story kept moving on a notch so that it never got boring. Too much action or too much story can make these sort of films tedious, but I really thought they got the mix of action and story about right. One justified the other. Also the bit at the beginning where they were being fired at with spears looked great in 3D.

Yep white ballons were a regular feature at the end of LCD gigs. It was one way of knowing when the gig was about to end if you wanted to beat the crowd out the door. Edited by user 08 September 2013 02:49:59(UTC)

Just watched a little of the Star Trek movie. The brief scene where the blonde... lady... who strips off left me bewildered - even in 2013 - I would have loved to have been in the cinema, just to see the reaction of the movie-goers! |
