I watched Splice last night. For some reason, it wasn't the film I thought it was going to be. I was confusing it with something else, something with monkeys :ask: But it was pretty cool. Could have been better. But still pretty cool. And the creature was very well done. And had nice tits. But, yeah, very well done too.
I wanna check out some of this director's other stuff, particularly Cube.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

I'm not sure what that means :think: But I wanna check out more stuff from this director. Never heard of him. But if I get the DVDs used from amazon really cheap, like I did Splice, I'll have little to lose.

"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people.

Rachel showed me Mary and Max recently, I thought it was very endearing :swoon: . You'd like his other short films if you haven't seen them already...Saw them at a Spike and Mike sick and twisted film festival:

:awesome:

I'll watch these tomorrow. Don't want to spoil my appetite for the film by watching them now.

It's on in 25 mins.

Dogtooth. It was okay I guess. Though not as dark or disturbing or bizarre as I was expecting.

That's what I thought. And I'm not the kind of person who needs non-stop action in a film, and doesn't enjoy something with a slower pace. I guess it just wasn't what I was expecting.

It did sound way more controversial on paper.

I now have a new favourite film.

Image

Mary and Max are two pen pals from Australia and New York respectively. Mary, a lonely and odd child, sends a letter to Max, who she picked at random from a New York phone directory, asking him to be her pen pal. Max is a lonely middle-aged man who suffers from Aspergers and also loneliness. The story revolves around their exchanges.
I haven't enjoyed a film this much in ages. I loved everything about it. It's macabre sense of humour. It's grim sense of reality. The artistic style. This film is like a dysfunctional Wallace & Gromit, it is the anti-Postman Pat. The script is amazing, especially when read by Barry Humphries and Philip Seymour Hoffman, both of whom add all the right emotions to the characters. It is incredibly witty, I laughed all the way through it, with lines like (Max writing to Mary) - "I live with...[a bunch of animals]... and a cat named 'Hal'. Because of his halitosis" ( :lol: ). But it also had some really intensely sad moments as well as joyous ones.
I dare anyone to look at this film and not feel moved by it.
