Anybody watch this last night?
I was about to go to my kip when it started and I ended up watching all of it and I very much enjoyed it as well.

I think it's brilliant

The first scene is a bit wank, but everything else is fucking ace.


"Australia...what fresh hell is this?"

Ooooh! Is it set in Australia?


fair enough.


Apparently they were going to cut that line because it was shit

but they didn't.

Interesting stuff, FACT FANS!!


^^^when winstone came ou with that line...

I thought to myself I hope this film is a pile of pondering shite. But that was the end of the pondering shite.


Yep

It's just such an unnecessary line, it always makes me cringe.


Emily Watson owns that film

It's great. Oddly, the soundtrack was the least impressive bit, I thought.


Not if you get the CD.

On its own it's actually amazing.


I saw it when it came out in Australia

Really good movie, Guy Pearce has done a lot of good stuff since Neighbours!


^^^Yeah, he qucikly went from being....

Mike from neighbours to Guy Pearce - credible actor, I enjoy most of his films.
I also enjoyed John Hurts turn in this film!


Yeah I saw this at the cinema

and its really good. Is it a Nick Cave soundtrack as well?


with Warren Ellis, yes

it's not as much cop as it should be


hmm, I thought it was ok,

pretty eerie


Seriously, it's great.

Also, the CD was £5 which made it all the sweeter.

There are three or four songs using the same traditional lyrics on there but each is utterly different to the others. It's very clever.


I liked it.

Ray Winstone was awesome.

I should be more eloquent on this subject, but my scriptwriter died.


replace him

with nick cave?


I was a bit disappointed

Not sure what I expected, but it was just relentlessly grim and unrewarding. Good acting, but not enough explosions or tits


"Good acting, but not enough explosions or tits"

My entire life summed up in eight words....


^^^^ha ha ha

a friend of mine recently accused me of only liking films that had lots of explosions in them, this might be partially true.
As for the tits, I am a guy so it goes without saying!


Well,

you're only using the old Jean Luc Godard idea of 'all you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun' and doubling it.

So you can claim that you're taste in films is validated by one of cinema's greats.

Kind of...


^^^^^Nice work uggggh...

I feel much better now!
I also bought a Godard film at the weekend called weekend, but I have yet to watch it!


Oh he's very good.

Very good indeed.


I have seen bande a part and breathless....

and thought both were great.
