If you can get to a 2001 screening at an independent theatre, go see it. It’s overwhelming on a big screen. I have the DVD for old time’s sake but there’s no comparison. The docking sequence alone has never been bettered. I’m also a big fan of Moon which isn’t about visuals at all, but is a tour de force in its own way.

Indeed, big screen with surround sound. Luckily I have a projector with a very large screen at home and a great sound setup – the bluray is just stunning on it.

I’ve never been a big fan of French cinema, though I enjoy some of the films. Last Year at Marienbad just drove me crazy and probably gave me a bad vibe about French cinema that is no doubt undeserved.
My favourite film overall is 2001: A Space Odyssey. I have seen it at the cinema around a dozen times and at home many more. I have books on its making and drive my kids crazy when I talk about it as they all hate it, and I can understand why they do…
I loved L’Année dernière à Marienbad but then again I saw it when I was twenty, and was a pompous pretentious pseudo-intellectual prick. But can you really understand why your kids don’t like 2001 @trcanberra? What do you mean? (I’ve had very bad experiences when I showed my teenage daughter some of my favorite movies, but I can’t tell why she didn’t like them)

The story is one thing they don’t really like – the jump cuts that I find so astonishing they just find artificial. The other is that they find the pace of the film way too slow. I love the meld of music and visuals and the slow spiral of the space station to the strains of the Blue Danube – it just drives them nuts.

First time I’d seen it – the story was a bit so-so but nice production design and effects.

Most recent movie I’ve watched was The Skeleton Twins. It came out last year, but I just saw it today. I really liked it. I’m not much of a movie-watcher, though, so I’m not the person to go to when you’re looking for reviews.

Offline I watched Pride last Saturday. It was alright, had some good music (quite a few The Smiths songs) but for a movie that got such good reviews and apparently was funny, and that was supposed to teach us a lot about gay rights in the UK in the 80s, and how homosexual people were constantly discriminated, it was a bit disappointing.
Same goes for Gone Girl, which I watched the other week. I liked the idea of a woman taking some revenge on her husband by setting up her own murder and fleeting afterwards to a better life, but it dragged on for so long, and it was actually a bit boring.

Has anyone else watched the Imitation Game? I enjoyed it though…
The end was sad

I just watched it yesterday. I loved it though haven’t read the comics.
I’ve been watching Agents of SHIELD and they did hint something from the show, that was nice.

Offline Been watching a bit of Whale Rider because we’re reading the book it was based on in my lit class. The film is pretty nice, though different of course. They have very neat? weird? accents in New Zealand.
I hardly ever watch movies, though, so that’s why I had to go and announce my news to everyone.
