they did in that movie, i just found them extremely not funny

Sad But True 06-21-2006 07:32 AM

Apparently subliminal messaging is bad, pah.

SirSpamalot 06-21-2006 07:34 AM

maybe you're just hard to please

there are certain things you can do to enhance your appreciation of humour, you know.

It helps if you know that you're going to be seeing a boring movie

kurrpt 06-21-2006 07:38 AM

o, i knew i wasnt going to enjoy the movie, but i always try to make the best of the situation. Having melted non-parels on me doesnt help it. If you saw the movie, i think you'd agree

SirSpamalot 06-21-2006 07:42 AM

well if you're taking kids getting high before you go is prolly not an option, but that's your fault for letting yourself get stuck in a position of responsibility

I'm prolly not going to end up seeing that until one of my little brothers rents it

Seemed to me like a film that got cult following just because it was put on the video nasties list in the 80's.[/QUOTE]

Thats pretty much it. A shy woman gets raped three or four times by a group of men one afternoon, then it turns into a really B-grade killing fest where she somehow turns into a smooth talking manipulating harlet who takes out revenge. Its hard to pin down whether it glorifies sex and violence or is a social commentary on rape hence the controversy. Looks pretty dated these days though.

kurrpt 06-21-2006 07:44 AM

nah, you're right, i took the responsible approach.

That sounds pretty lame really, regardless of whether is a social commentry or a killfest.

is portugal going to kill MXico or what?

Doesn't change the fact that he makes awesome movies

Led Zep may be overrated, but they did some awesome stuff

AG 06-21-2006 07:54 AM

Tarantino's early stuff deserved the hype.

Nowdays he's attaching his name to films and stuff, he's not as brill.

SirSpamalot 06-21-2006 07:56 AM

Reservoir dogs and Pulp fiction both pwn

I didn't really like hostel though

and that whole sin city bit where he "guest directed a scene"?

omg non linear narrative

His films are good, but I don't think he's spectacular, at all.

AG 06-21-2006 07:58 AM

He didn't direct Hostel, just attached his name to it.

The scene in Sin City was the one where benicio deltorro (sp to the max) is speaking after he's dead.



I liked his episde of CSI, mind.

SirSpamalot 06-21-2006 07:59 AM

Actually that scene was pretty creepy

but I liked the bit just after where the police officer stops him with the dead guy in the front seat and he tells him he's "partied too hard" or something

Meatplow 06-21-2006 07:59 AM

[QUOTE=Sad But True]That sounds pretty lame really, regardless of whether is a social commentry or a killfest.[/QUOTE]

It is. It got banned several times and its major selling point on the DVD cover is just that, the graphics making it look intensely controversial and evil. The film itself is fairly rubbish though.

[QUOTE=SirSpamalot]sounds sort of like Kill Bill tbh, Tarantino rules though
[/QUOTE]

Yeah i felt echoes of Kill Bill whilst watching it, but minus the production values, acting ability and multiple sets.

Meatplow 06-21-2006 08:02 AM

[QUOTE=overturned]:rolleyes: That man is more overated than religion itself.[/QUOTE]

Yep. The fact he rips off scenes from other films constantly whether it is a homage or not leads to a lot of criticism of unoriginality. Thats not to say i don't enjoy the movies he makes and is associated with.

Killing Zoe is an underrated one i don't hear much about.

overturned 06-21-2006 08:05 AM

batteries in my tango megaphone just died...who else owns one?

Sad But True 06-21-2006 08:06 AM

I never liked Tarrantino films, always seemed too "We'll do this bit not because it's good, but because it's stupid, and different"

SirSpamalot 06-21-2006 08:09 AM

well that's your opinion.

overturned I love megaphones and I want one

j_p 06-21-2006 08:13 AM

Tarrantino films seem to make killing stylish.

I know it is.

I never got a tango megaphone :(

As soon as I find out what's going on with this pickup, I'm done.

SirSpamalot 06-21-2006 08:16 AM

What's the difference between a tango megaphone and a normal one?

does having it your possesion give you +5 dancing or something?

either way megaphones are fun to play with and it's fun to be a real dick with one if your in charge of something

and goats why were you banned?

Sad But Yeah Mate 06-21-2006 08:17 AM

Anyone watching coach trip?

I Love Goooooats 06-21-2006 08:17 AM

Rep whoring. Go back to page 15 or so >_>

j_p 06-21-2006 08:18 AM

i prefer to piss people off with airhorns rather than megaphones. A combination of the two pwns all though.

AG 06-21-2006 08:19 AM

I'm watching coach trip, but only cos it's on.

also getting sick from eating m&m's

PerpetualBurn 06-21-2006 08:21 AM

Hostel was a let down. It was supposed to contain all sorts of brutal shocking violence and be incredibly disturbing, and I found it bland and tame.

The violence was all a bit rubbish having watched Irreversible and Ichi the Killer, and the only reason it seemed to be set where it was was to avoid having to explain just how unlikely the setup of the film was.

Personally, I found it difficult to care about the characters since there was no real context to them. They were all entirely one-dimensional. The same as the countless faceless guards killed in Bond films that are never mentioned, who gives a rat's ***?

More disturbing, yet less notorious, I've always enjoyed Cube. The characters are deliberately given as little background as possible so that we see them fresh, it has purpose more than Hostel just not being clever. The characters are driven over the edge in the film, and it has one of the best endings ever.

Also, Portugal 1 - 0 Mexico. Right finish an' all.

j_p 06-21-2006 08:23 AM

yea the only thing i enjoyed about hostel was the boobs

Sad But True 06-21-2006 08:23 AM

Overturned, why are you being me?

SirSpamalot 06-21-2006 08:24 AM

daytime tv to me seems to suck in general

what's with the new account eh?

your not banned and you still have silly beach turtles, don't you?

oh it's overturned? wtf?

Sad But Yeah Mate 06-21-2006 08:24 AM

its fun to pretend

Cube is an awesome film.

Cube zero sucks.

I havn't seen Cube II.



I still havn't seen Hostel.
