^i agree :)

in all honesty i'm going to watch the film i suggested as it may make my list for best of 2014....so the sooner the better :)

and i can watch Avengers any day of the week :)

DeadChannel 12-22-2014 06:08 PM

I've made my selection for when it comes around to me.

Come and See, a russian film about nazi occupation of parts of russia durring ww2
Be warned: this movie is insane, but imo few soviet films are better (maybe the odd Tarkovsky film)

I still haven't gotten a chance to see the fountain, but I'll get to it ASAP.

Frownland 12-22-2014 06:09 PM

^Sounds great, I'ven't seen that one yet.

I didn't know we were doing submissions yet. I'll PM you in the near future James.

Pet_Sounds 12-22-2014 07:00 PM

Count me out. It's something I'd love to do, but with the Pysch AC to run, school, and other responsibilites, I just don't have the time. Maybe at some point down the road. Best of luck, though.

DeadChannel 12-22-2014 07:56 PM

Okay, see ya around.

Machine 12-22-2014 08:47 PM

Okay I'm gonna have to search for a good movie because while I love movies I don't exactly have a huge knowledge of "important" movies so I'll keep searching.

So far here's what i have for my pick when it comes up
- 12 Angry Men
- Schindler's List
- The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Frownland 12-22-2014 08:53 PM

Who cares if it's important? Pick a film you like and, if you're that kind of person, one that people will respond well to.

Cool I just don't want to he the one guy who picks some comedy while everyone else does those kinds of movies.

DeadChannel 12-23-2014 12:32 AM

What are "those kinds of movies"?

I love a good screwball comedy. The point here is to watch things that we normally wouldn't have watched. I'm down for monty python every bit as much as I'm down for Stanley Kubrick.

Frownland 12-23-2014 12:36 AM

There are no restrictions for which film you pick. Hell, if everyone picked downer Oscar worthy type films a comedy might be a nice change of pace. The only thing that should factor into your decision is if it's a good film.

Don't let that keep you from nominating The Room, either.

Goofle 12-23-2014 03:12 AM

I'm probably gonna pick a comedy myself.

Okay expect to see one of my all time favorite comedy ' s then :laughing:

James 12-23-2014 12:24 PM

I love comedies. Every film contains something to discuss.

Exo 01-09-2015 07:15 PM

It's been over two weeks since we made The Fountain thread. Who's next? Are we still doing this? We better still be doing this. If not, I'll just have a film club with James and Bob.

Goofle 01-09-2015 07:29 PM

I've sent James my film via PM. I do apologise for not reviewing the first one though, busy period for me.

jackhammer 01-09-2015 07:58 PM

Absolutely disgusted that I haven't been included in this :(

Goofle 01-09-2015 08:08 PM

You posted in the thread. You are now included :)

Sorry buddy, I don't see you much so you didn't cross my mind originally. Start popping up more.

James 01-10-2015 04:52 AM

Well before I post the next film, should we go in order of commenting or order of PMs? My preference is the latter but I want to make sure we all agree.

Exo 01-10-2015 01:12 PM

I thought we had the order already?

James 01-10-2015 01:17 PM

Well we do, but I feel bad for the people (mainly bob) who have already chosen films but have to wait!

EPOCH6 01-10-2015 01:39 PM

Comment order.

bob. 01-10-2015 05:01 PM

No worries on my part James :)

I was just trying to suggest a very thought provoking film that also would spark conversation about filming style

I've already watched it and would watch it again whenever I come up :)

James 01-11-2015 08:26 AM

Okay so we'll go with Goofle's pick then, as he is next on the list. The 1973 film 'Paper Moon'.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...moon_small.jpg

As P.T. Barnum put it, "There's a sucker born every minute."

'During the Great Depression, a con man finds himself saddled with a young girl who may or may not be his daughter, and the two forge an unlikely partnership.'

I haven't seen this film, and I'm excited to check it out. Here's some snippets of criticism.

'A charming mixture of Hawksian comedy and Fordian lyricism.'
Geoff Andrew, Timeout

'I wonder how many moviegoers will be prepared for the astonishing confidence and depth that Tatum brings to what's really the starring role.'
Roger Ebert

'Has the Depression ever been this much fun?'
Christopher Null, filmcritic.com

Exo 01-11-2015 09:47 AM

Just watched this about two months ago but I honestly can't remember most of it. I'll be happy to rewatch this.

Also, James, you're in charge of letting me know when it's my turn to pick a film because I'm very confused on the "order" now.

It's in the OP!

Exo 01-11-2015 11:20 AM

Okay, nevermind.

Exo 01-14-2015 04:32 PM

So, when is the thread going up and when is the time frame to see and discuss the film?

I'll be honest guys, this is not organized well at all.

Sorry, I suck. I'll make the thread now. I'll get better as we go along!

lol
I am really unorganised in life in general, but I'm trying to fix that aspect of myself. Shall we say the next film will go up on the 26th?

James 02-03-2015 06:28 AM

Machine chose the next film. And it's High Fidelity!
https://coolpapaesreviews.files.word...h-fidelity.jpg
We have until the 17th to watch and discuss it. Which should be achievable, because as music lovers, most of us have probably already seen it!

Goofle 02-03-2015 06:37 AM

I WILL DISCUSS THIS FILM. Promise.

RoxyRollah 02-03-2015 10:12 AM

x2

EDIT: MY ABS ARE BETTER THEN YOUR ABS.......

Oriphiel 02-04-2015 04:59 PM

None can compare to Babs' Abs!

Edit: Uh, I mean Cindy Wilson's abs!

Exo 02-10-2015 01:23 PM

We making a thread for this?

James 02-24-2015 02:49 PM

Okay. Last one was slightly better than previous, but I'm worried that was just because it's a light hearted film that didn;t require proper analysis. This one should show that. Please try and contribute this time, guys. The fact this hasn't been too successful is probably why I haven't been sticking to deadlines. I'm losing interest. So many of you are knowledgeable about film, and expressed interest in the idea. This pick (from Frownland!) is an interesting choice (it's Frownland after all!). A film I know nothing about, but with a plot summary that instantly piques my interest.

'A tone-deaf cop works to track down a group of guerilla percussionists whose anarchic public performances are terrorizing the city.'

Sound of Noise (2010)
Directors: Ola Simonsson, Johannes Stjärne Nilsson
Stars: Sanna Persson, Magnus Börjeson, Johannes Björk

Exo 02-24-2015 04:47 PM

I haven't seen this. I've been meaning to. Expect a full review.

Frownland 02-24-2015 04:56 PM

I'll write a full review after another viewing. Love this film.

James 02-25-2015 08:15 AM

I'm cutting down the participation list. Half of these people just aren't taking part, and it's unfair on us that are to make us wait to choose more films. The new list will consist of everyone that posts in the discussion thread for this film. Others can be added later if they aren't around much at the moment.
