A History or Violence</i> - it was decent. dunno whatever happened to dk, but it's croenberg's latest. kinda croenbergish/david lynchlike feel to it...but not quite enough to ruin it...just to make it kinda jilted. and folks, maria belo is now my goddess!

Watched fahrenheit 451... hadn't seen it in a long time but its a great film (although i never liked the ending). Okay its dated, but at the same time that kind of works in its favour, all the designs and architecture is kind of retro futuristic. All barring the tv which sucks.

Shame the internet has negated the storyline somewhat.

sometimes i wonder if your a 12 year old max :lol:

Clarissa Explains it all? Holy crap, if you want to relive the old days of nickelodeon you might as well see if you can find "are you afraid of the pike?" (:wacky:) or "Rocko's Modern Life". As for james masters making smallville "gay"... its was "gay" well before he joined ;)

I also forgot to say i've been watching more xfiles xvids... upto the last two in series 5, that DVD boxset hasn't come yet, i think its got a while 'expected' before i'll bug the sender again :lol:

incidently theres no such thing as the good old days of nickelodean surely? especially as to me nickelodeon hasnt ever existed, as when i was young we only had these 4 channels on terrestrial tv as for some reason only council dossers had sky tv :lol: so the odd nick show that was seen by me was maybe on bbc or itv (mostly bbc)

anyway just watched MacGyver 1x03, and i cant believe they ripped off the entire end scenes of the italian job with the chase through rome, especially as they were meant to be in hungary i believe in the episode, i mean you can tell suddenly a little girl changes into the size of a full grown man, and the comical dummies (litterally) who drive the police car into the lake, hilarious

Dogville</i>. never would have watched it if I knew what I was getting into. 2hr "movie" that amounts to a stage play with voice over (kinda like a staged version of how the grinch stole christmas</i> but the plot of last man standing</i> crossed with that jodie foster rape movie). speaking of which, I could watch nicole kidman get raped all day. wow. did I honestly just say that? crap, I need help. anyway, the movie was boring and gimmicky with seriously over-(or is it under-?) drawn characters and dialogue (a lot like the village, actually). still, I liked seeing nicole kidman get raped...repeatedly. ok, I need help.

sounds terrible... I just watched the Matrix Deionised (the fan edit) and really liked it.. I think it si a lot better to watch then the two original version... the only thing that suxed was the ping/ponging back and forth between the orical.... in the original version there is a lot more "time" between each visit.

@max... Yea I know that is wat you said I was agreeing with you... no need to be so defensive

Dogville (2003)
"The beautiful fugitive, Grace (Nicole Kidman), arrives in the isolated township of Dogville on the run from a team of gangsters. With some encouragement from Tom (Paul Bettany), the self-appointed town spokesman, the little community agrees to hide her and in return, Grace agrees to work for them. However, when a search sets in, the people of Dogville demand a better deal in exchange for the risk of harbouring poor Grace and she learns the hard way that in this town, goodness is relative. But Grace has a secret and it is a dangerous one. Dogville may regret it ever began to bare its teeth." <= this was the basic idea of the back cover of the dvd at blockbuster when I rented the thing. looks interesting, no?

"Set in an American Town in the Rocky Mountains in the 1930s. Lars von Trier re-explores the concept of goodness, but this in an idiom very different from that of his Gold Heart Trilogy (Breaking the Waves, The idiots and Dancer in the Dark). DOGVILLE is shot exclusively in studio with a minimum of props once again allowing the actors' maximum freedom and full exposure inspired by televised theatre of the 70s. In DOGVILLE Trier works extensively with light, sound, score and music to obtain and heighten dramatic atmosphere." <= this is the gimmick, without which this is just a really bad, awkward movie.

Lords of Dogtown (2005)
"A fictionalized take on the group of brilliant young skateboarders raised in the mean streets of Dogtown in Santa Monica, California. The Z-Boys, as they come to be known, perfect their craft in the empty swimming pools of unsuspecting suburban homeowners, pioneering a thrilling new sport and eventually moving into legend."

Moved onto series 6 of the xfiles, budget stories and... well production value has grown exponentially in the first few episodes i watched compared to the rather padded out series 5.

They also refer to the movie in the series 6 premiere so i guess that explains it.
