Cinema

Three words:

Toy Story 3

That is two words and a number.

 

[Don Quixote]

Complete and extreme gash. The world's gone mad to rate that steaming pile of celluloid crud. Girlfriend and I were stunned that people were clapping at the end of 2.5hrs of our life we will never be able to reclaim.

You don't know anything about films mate.

 

[Don Quixote]

Horses for courses. Transformers 2 got a lot of applause at the end when I went and I know you think that is the worst film ever made. The biggest and most comprehensive applause I ever witnessed was for Schindler's List.

Inglorious Basterds got a lot. STANDING OVATION for that genius film.

What a signature

You don't know anything about films mate.

Absurd statement, it's called having different tastes in film. I'm sure you're a right Barry Norman when it comes down to it though, so yes, you're probably right, I bet your knowledge of cinema transcends probably everyone's on this board, if not on this planet. Apologies for throwing in my scathing two-penneth worth on the subject of what I see as an absurdly overrated film...... mate.

 

[Don Quixote]

What a signature

I did it for you.

 

[Napper]

so nothing decent on then ?

I have never been in a cinema when people have clapped at the end, is it that common?

In my experience it isn't overly common. Occured twice I think at the duke of yorks in the past 17 years. In that same space there's only been 3 or 4 at the odeon/marina and the only one I can specifically think of is Moulin Rouge!. There have been a few smatterings of applause at others, and at the start of a few (geeky stuff like as star wars started/harry potter, etc)

That's what I was going to say. People clapping in a cinema is beyond lame.

I stood up and clapped to Over The Hedge, does that make me lame?

 

[sam86]

Very much so

 

[Meade's Ball]

I shall stick to watching Kristen Scott Thomas in French arthouse films from now on.

You can't beat a bit of Leaving at the minute for me.
I lowered my aim and hit something shit right on the button on Monday night with The Rebound, "starring" that empty space Zeta Jones. Now that was less tasty than a turd ciabatta. Give that one a miss, people of the world.

My newspaper says Beautiful Kate and Down Terrace, a British gangster film that actually works, are alright. Down Terrace is set in Brighton too, innit. Gets 4-stars in my rag for its subtlety rather than outbursts of pure violence, although the latter does come into it.
