It did, by shocking I didnt mean bad, just that it was totally unexpected.
Yes, I knew what you meant.
I've just started downloading Inland Empire, I'm really curious... Too bad it is a full dvdr version on slow torrent, but all the other versions are italian dub only.
Full DVDR version, as in it's a full DVD?
Can you give us the link, Cincs?
I didn't know Inland Empire was out.
Mininova?? I've has a scan, I can see a whole DVD rip. But it's ita/eng. I hope it's not dubbed.
Yeah, it's out. Well, sort of. It is out for rental in Italy and will be released on DVD worldwide in august.
No theatretical release though

Heard it's probably his most surreal film, yet.
Yeah I've heard that too. It will hard be to beat Eraserhead in that department though.
Cincs, it's(IE download) a DVD5. CCEX6, any idea what this is?
Silent Hill.
Rating: 1/5.
silent hill consists of a confusing storyline that becomes ten times more confusing in the final scenes, leaving you with more questions than answers. If someone can actually shed me some light on what the hell Silent Hill is actually about, I would be very appreciative.

Only man who could do that is Uwe Böll, but he is only good at boxing.
The Mouse that Roared. Funny movie about a small country that declares war on the US.
Live Free or Die Hard
4/5 very entertaining, Bruce Willis is Legend.
Plot:
John McClane takes on an Internet-based terrorist organization who is systematically
shutting down the United States.

Not as good as War Games
stand by me, great movie
miles more weird than Eraserhead I can tell you that
the Rabbits are in it
Shame I could only see it once while on the big screen in Germany.
DV doesn't look too ugly. I was expecting something like youtube video but it's not that bad.
When there are dark scenes the camera loses its focus for a while, but I guess that's something David Lynch enjoys (wants).
Still..35 mm is better imo, I can't imagine Mulholland Drive in shaky, grainy shape.

Good to hear, mate, thanks! I don't have issues with DV: SWIII, Collateral and Sin City were all shot in DV.
I'm not sure it's the same thing 'cause Sin City and SW3 are probably shot with some fancy HD cameras and regular ones too
as opposed to Lynch who's using only this tiny piece of shite
resolution: (480/60i) (source format)
Though it's very encouraging for the independent filmmakers (or the amateurs) because the camera costs around $4000 or something

I don't know. All I know is that Lynch thought DV made the shootings to be spontanous. And that's good news
I know a couple people who own one of those and I've personally used them on a couple of shoots. It's a good starter HD camera. Doesn't have as many options as the big boy $100,00ish(after a few bells and whistles) Sony F900, but is good for smaller projects.I'm not sure it's the same thing 'cause Sin City and SW3 are probably shot with some fancy HD cameras and regular ones too

Rebecca by Alfred Hitchcock. Brilliant. I thought it was a masterpiece.
Yeah Rebecca was pretty good although the book is still better.
Shooter
Dir. Antoine Fuqua.
Meh.

what's your take on this whole DV-Film debate?
Is it that good?
Watched 2 films tonight at work - not sure if they have been reviewed..
DeJaVu
Densel Washington
Plot: man goes back in to the past to stop a bombing
Next
Nicholas Cage
Plot: man sees into the future to stop a bombing.
Both actually very good films.

Yes it is.
Good, I will pick it up sometime.
Deja Vu was rubbish, so many fecking loop holes.
Tough one to answer really. I look at it two ways: as someone who works with both, and as a general fan of movies.
DV makes everything so much simpler. It requires less lighting, is smaller, requires less crew, and is cheaper. I've been on many shoots with HD cameras where we wanted detail out of a black shirt. With film, you'd have to get out a 650w light, put it on a stand, get power to it, and set it. With some HD cameras(varicam is one), you can bring up the brightness just by a couple clicks in the menus. DV is also much better for run and gun type shooting. They're easier to calibrate, load the tape and be on your way, also DV cameras are much lighter than film cameras since there's no 400ft roll of film on the back. So in terms of working with one or the other, I prefer digital.
As a movie lover, I tend to lean on the side of film. There is a certain look/feel that film has that DV just doesn't have. When I think of true cinema I think of 35mm film. I don't think of the Viper HD camera. Picture wise, HD is the better picture, but lacks that grainy element that we have come to love because of all the years of film.
That's the quick version of my debate.
Notes on A Scandal
An excellent movie. Cate Blanchett is stunningly beautiful as always.
She plays Bob Dylan in her next movie.

I see. And generally I agree with you, but there are some instances, like the landscape of Los Angeles in Collateral that was something special and that wouldnt be possible on film.
Also, George Lucas said that he has hidden a reel in The Phantom Menace that was shot in DV(the rest was shot on film), and noone seems to find it.
The Birds. I thought it was okish. Sadly, I just couldn't take it seriously. Swap birds with killer vampire fruitbats with big claws, and Alf would've been onto something. Seriously, though, I just couldn't see the fuss. It had it's moments, I liked the scene in the Caf(?) after the birds attacked the school, for example. But overall, I was disappointed.
1408 WAS shit
I've finished downloading Inland Empire just to find out it's in italian only....Bassza meg a kurva élet!!!
feck. Mines still not finished downloading, though. I was looking forward to it.
(Oh and I haven't forgotten, Cinc)
Told you. No idea why it was rated so highly(imdb). I blame kids.
Sophie Scholl was very good, though. Three thumbs up.
