I thought OGF was great. It IS an arthouse movie and it has a very limited narrative but it kept me entertained and it's superbly directed. It's also one that nags at the back of your mind after you've seen it, which is usually a good thing in my opinion.
Great soundtrack too.
Tragic story though, although having read a little more about the real life version of events, he (McCandless) came across a little less sympathetic.
Mine seems to be in full on hunter mode at the moment. Woke up the other morning, went into the kitchen (barefoot) and stepped on a lovely little pile of what I assume were bird guts. I say I assume as there was a severed beak next to them.
To look at her you wouldn't think she was capable, the docile little bugger. She is great though.
Berberian Sound Studio is genius imo. The Giallo influence, Toby Jones performance, the use of sound (obv) it's all so well done.
Regarding the meaning, well the letters are certainly a big part of that. But it's clever enough to leave itself open to different interpretations.
I've had a theory a few years now about the psychological effect of Fergie, and how his mere presence has helped some distinctly average Man U sides win certain matches.
I certainly think the old cliches about most of the match being played 'in the mind' and 'beaten before the first kick' came into play when he was around. The influence (read fear factor) he had over refs will be lost too.
Hopefully the aura has dissipated and we can get a few points off them now and again. That would be nice wouldn't it?
Haha - Vertigo is one of my favourite tracks on it
Yeah, there's definite black metal touches to it, but I think the shoegaze, and post rock elements make it a really expansive album.
Really enjoyed the Worlds End. If you go in expecting another SOTD or Hot Fuzz then you will be disappointed as it's tone and pacing is quite different. There are some textbook E.Wright moments but his usual style has been cut back considerably and replaced with some great little nods to directors like early J.Carpenter.
A big plus is Nick Frost, who gives his best performance to date.
