[dreamdead]

Well, I guess I'll rent The Darjeeling Limited. That's it.

[Velocipedist]

Hmm, is that the 4-disc Criterion Last Emperor? It looks EPIC!

[Sycophant]

There's a bunch I'm vaguely interested in, but I do need to buy The Darjeeling Limited.

[Kurosawa Fan]

I'm interested in seeing Silk, Goya's Ghosts, and 30 Days of Night for the women in each film, but I probably won't see any of them.

[Watashi]

Why isn't Darjeeling Criterion? Doesn't Wes have a contract with them?

[Sycophant]

Why isn't Darjeeling Criterion? Doesn't Wes have a contract with them?I don't know exactly, but I'd bet it has something to do with that Fox Searchlight did this one instead of Touchstone.

[Watashi]

That's probably it.

Justice League is the only one I will get eventually.

[D_Davis]

Holy goddamn, fucking shit.

Mirashit does it again. Fuck them, and fuck Dragon Dynasty.

Legend of the Black Scorpion? WTF is that shit? That's almost worst than Killzone.

Good god I wish they would stop this shit.

The film is called The Banquet - it has nothing to do with a black scorpion.

God they make me sick.

[Melville]

Holy goddamn, fucking shit.

Mirashit does it again. Fuck them, and fuck Dragon Dynasty.

Legend of the Black Scorpion? WTF is that shit? That's almost worst than Killzone.

Good god I wish they would stop this shit.

The film is called The Banquet - it has nothing to do with a black scorpion.

God they make me sick.
:lol:

That's so bad it's funny. I was just wondering why I had never heard of this new Zhang Ziyi film about a black scorpion.

[D_Davis]

Once again a western company takes a dump on a martial arts film by changing the title to make it sound more action packed. Lame.

This film is an adaptation of Hamlet, and it is quite good. One of the better modern wuxia pians. I wasn't thrilled with it after my first viewing, but it really grew on me. It is one of the most beautiful looking films I've ever seen.

I love these two images.

Review if anyone cares:

[ledfloyd]

i'll rent darjeeling and 30 days of night.

i might check out the banquet of the black scorpion cause i like ziyi.

the new frontier looks kinda cool.

[Rowland]

Looks like a decent week to me:

Beowulf
30 Days of Night
Goya's Ghosts
Slipstream
Them
Darkon

[MacGuffin]

Looks like a decent week to me:

Them


I don't know man, I was looking forward to this, but have you watched the trailer?

[Rowland]

I don't know man, I was looking forward to this, but have you watched the trailer?Nope, but I'd trust the word of mouth over a trailer.

[MacGuffin]

Nope, but I'd trust the word of mouth over a trailer.

Word of mouth from Ed Gonzalez, Wesley Morris, and Jeremy Heilman has only confirmed my fears.

[D_Davis]

Is Them the French film Il?

If so, it is quite good.

[Rowland]

Word of mouth from Ed Gonzalez, Wesley Morris, and Jeremy Heilman has only confirmed my fears.They're only three people. I've seen plenty of praise for it, enough to give it a shot.

[MacGuffin]

Alright, maybe I'll give it a chance. Yes, it is Ils Daniel.

[Stay Puft]

The Darjeeling Limited and Slipstream for sure. I also want to see The Banquet, if only for Tan Dun.

[eternity]

BUY:
None

RENT:
The Darjeeling Limited
Death at a Funeral
Beowulf (maybe)

WTF of the Week:
Goya's Ghosts for making the floating heads concept even worse.

[Boner M]

The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, anyone? I think I'm blind buyin' that one.

[D_Davis]

The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, anyone? I think I'm blind buyin' that one.

I wouldn't. I did a few years ago, and it really isn't very good. I'd say rent it first. It is pretty slow and unremarkable. It's like Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror, but without the great unintentional humor.

Hmm... I'd been led to believe that it's an overlooked masterpiece of the genre. Thanks for the heads up, anyway.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Ooh, I just noticed Blue Note. I'll probably check that out at some point.

[lovejuice]

i will get extras, and also encourage everyone to give death at a funeral a rental chance. in fact, if you like stage comedy, this one is almost a must.

[DSNT]

Holy goddamn, fucking shit.

Mirashit does it again. Fuck them, and fuck Dragon Dynasty.

I'll never be surprised by anything done by the company responsible for these covers. The management may have changed, but the marketing department definitely hasn't.

[origami_mustache]

30 Days of Night
Death at a Funeral
Silk
Goya's Ghosts
Them
Day Zero
Darkon

[baby doll]

I've never seen The Last Emperor (blush), so that's on the top of my list, and I'd love to see The Darjeeling Limited a second time.

[number8]

Legend of the Black Scorpion? WTF is that shit? That's almost worst than Killzone.

What do you mean, almost? it is worse.

[lovejuice]
