What do you think of his values? I mean even though he only targets criminals on occasion hes killed innocent people by mistake and has left people to die. Thoughts?

My parents didn't really like IB, either. They said it started off great and then got "silly" at the end. I see it as "the WW2 movie we've always wanted to see," because they actually (SPOILER ALERT FOR ANYONE READING THIS WHO HASN'T SEEN INGLORIOUS BASTERDS) kill Hitler at the end. And isn't that the ending we all wanted? Isn't that the thing that, somewhere, in the back of our minds, we've all held out a tiny spark of hope for, even when we know that any given mission to kill Hitler" is doomed to fail? I also think that Tarantino (who, admittedly, is super-pretentious as a director) was trying to make a statement about the power of the artform of film: The only way you can ever kill Hitler is in the movies (or, in fiction in general; film is just Tarantino's chosen medium) and he wants to make this point so strongly that film itself is the murder weapon in IB.

Cyrus argues that the first 20 minutes of Cloverfield are just that: great character setup. I'm still planning on watching it sometime, just to see. If nothing else the "Groverfield" parody tee shirt made me curious...

On the other hand I loved Inglorious Basterds. Haven't truly watched Cloverfield. Had it on in the background while doing stuff around the house, and it just seemed like a bunch of people running and screaming. However, Cyrus has assured me that if I actually sit and pay attention to it, it's a great film. Can't really pass judgment only half-watching something.

Re: Dr. Strangelove:

I saw it for the first time about a year and a half ago, with a group of grad school friends, on a big screen in one of the classrooms at the University, as part of our own little "Movies Everyone Should See" series. I honestly thought it was one of the most boring films I'd ever watched. It had some good bits of dialogue, and I "got" the point that it was trying to convey. I just didn't find it at all enjoyable. The only scene I found at all entertaining was in the war room, toward the end, when Strangelove himself shows up.

I wish I could put my finger on it, or give some more specifics. All I can say is that it just didn't appeal to me in the least. I can appreciate it as art, and as a film which makes a political and social statement, and as a valuable primary source which reflects the concerns and attitudes of the time in which it was made. I just didn't like it, though.

dead set. start there then find as much charlie brooker things as you can. he cowrote nathan barley with chris morris (the day today, brass eye jam, blue jam etc) try to find screenwipe, newswipe and gameswipe especially. brooker is a tv critic for the guardian and has published a couple of books with his columns in them. he has a great turn of phrase and tells it like it is profanities aplenty. let me know how you get on

I recently decided to get involved with my local radio station (SYN fm). After training I decided that I'd apply my fairly vast film knowledge into a radio show. So I started Directors Suite, a show based on film directors. I've uploaded the podcasts at http://soundcloud.com/directors-suite-on-syn I'd really appreciate any constructive feedback. Also I realise I made a couple of factual errors but I can't get everything perfect!

Right now it's not as amazing as everyone tells me it is however it is a truely addictive show. Just wondering what your faviourite season is and weather its going to get better or is season 3 the pinnicle of Buffy( as my friends have told me)?

Snuff Box

Has anyone seen this show? Honestly I'm a little dissapointed frankly I mean there is this british incrowd of comedy shows that all group together ( this, I.t crowd, darkplace, the mighty boosh) but this is the first one I haven't instantly loved. As much as I like Rich Fulcher and Matt Berry this show just isn't very good. Any one else seen this show?

Fuckin' spam...

What the he'll is with all the spam recently every day there's a new spam post. Although it may not be as bad as ign who delete 35000 posts a week. Maybe we need a forum mod who can delete all the spam? Any suggestions.
