Agreed. I suppose Mon Oncle is the better film but I love the overall feel of the more laid back, almost sleepy Vacances. It's a film I'd quite happily live in. ![]() Speaking of France, last night watched ... ![]() French Connection II Some nice scenes showing the seediness of Marseille but overall this is one of those totally unnecessary sequels. |
@demonyo
yes vacances is delicious, and hilarious, but the social satire in mon oncle is what takes it to another level i think. haven't seen FC2. thanks for the warning. and did you or did you not finish the wire?? |
Network
Really good film - that's the second Sidney Lumet I've seen, with Dog Day Afternoon being the other. I've enjoyed both, gonna seek out some more! The acting in Network is amazing all round. |

I'm still only on Season 3 of the Wire. I'm slowly trying to work my way through all of them but I get stuff sent randomly from a list so it can take ages. And agree about Mon Oncle. Vacances is less ambitious but because of that it's a perfect feet up Sunday afternoon film. I could happily kill two hours watching either, though. |

You mean because of Treme? Yeah, that got some getting used to. Watched last night: ![]() Summer of Sam On paper it should be impossible to fuck this movie up but Spike Lee was totally the wrong person to make it. ![]() Boys In Company C I'm amazed Quentin Tarantino hasn't tried to remake this. |
![]() Tue Grit (2010) One of the better recent Westerns. It's hard to really call this a remake as it's really just another adaptation of the same novel. |
The cable guy is not coming to our new place until tomorrow so me and the wifey caught this on the TV last night.
![]() 5/10 had some very cool, crazy parts, and some odd bits, but it was better than anything else on the boob tube... |
Cheeto-- check out redbox and see if they carry something interesting in your area. You can book online and pick up at your convenience. Great for movie emergencies.
|
I am gonna grab SKYFALL from the Redbox for this weekend.
|
I thought it was a cool flick, for a TV broadcast. It was made from a play which usually means decent dialogue.

raising arizona is superhilarious and i love it. agreed also on repo man-- it was once presented to me in the 90s as some sort of awesome thing by one of those cultist fans, and while i think i liked the sountrack i thought the story as a whole was b-movie shit-- so much so that i only barely recall it-- i just remember it was full of 80s themes like vietnam vets and aliens and nuclear stuff and shit like that. it has probably aged horribly. |
