hogso Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Dark Crystal is brilliant! I have fond memories of similar kind-of-creepy-but-maybe-not-on-purpose-but-actually-probably-yeah-on-purpose kids films such as Labyrinth, Neverending Story II, Return to Oz, Willow (was also going to say Time Bandits, not sure if it really counts as a kids film) - but all of those just seem a whole lot better, man. I watched Labyrinth not long ago and it's better than Dark Crystal fer shur. Especially because of Even with David Bowie's tackle swinging about in front of your face whenever he appears on screen.

I know he's known as the thin white duke but he was too skinny in that film. I mean, look at his hands here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 The Never Ending Story is a massive scam . It only lasts a couple of hours . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I've never seen any of the never ending story films. You would probably have a similar reaction to my viewing of Dark Crystal if you watched it/them now, I guess. It wouldn't seem so good. As I recall - the first one was good, the second one was SCARY cos of the horrible nasty giant metal death machine things, and the 3rd one was terrible.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) No idea what Guardians of the Galaxy is, but Michael Rooker is in it now, and Michael Rooker is amazeballs. Also, Labyrinth is brilliant. Excellent Bowiecrotch shots. Edited April 17, 2013 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I forgot I also own this as well In 1986, the movie "Labyrinth" introduced the world to a set of unforgettable goblins from the minds of Brian Froud and Jim Henson. Re-issued for the 20th anniversary, this book chronicles each of the creatures in detail, with all the artistry and originality for which Froud and Henson are known. Fans of the movie - now a cult classic - will flock to the book, in addition to the legion of fans of Froud's other fairy books. Like Froud's "The World of the Dark Crystal", also published by Abrams, this book will be a must-have for collectors and fans everywhere. awesome book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 oblivion its ok, watchable if you dont mind cruise cos he's on screen 99% of the time, it looks and sounds great, soundtrack especially is really good, the support cast is good, overall the story is good, but it felt like it had robbed elements from a lot of other sci fi films (bits of moon, idependence day, star wars) and doesnt do them anywhere near as well, its got 1 major twist and several other minor ones which are all well enough written but very predictable, i also thought that it went down 2 hollywood routes which weakened the film - a chase / action sequence that it didnt need and it explained everything, especially a flashback at the end, that better films just wouldnt do From the trailer I saw I thought it was Wall-e but with humans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 17, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2013 No idea what Guardians of the Galaxy is, but Michael Rooker is in it now, and Michael Rooker is amazeballs. Playing a character called Yondu, which means they're going obscure with that film. Will either be fantastic or absolutely hopeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 It's just one big rip-off movie. But it does look lovely. What made me laugh was that it was "based" on the directors unpublished graphic novel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 18, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2013 Saw "The Place Beyond the Pines" last night. Really very good. Was a bit worried with where it was going at one point but it's great. Really enjoyed it. Gosling was predictably brilliant (startling similarities to the character in Drive, imo) and Cooper was better than I've ever seen him (Silver Linings comes close) Saw it at the Electric Cinema. First time I've been there. It's fantastic in there, proper bar, I got tea in a mug to drink during the film, and really nice atmosphere for the film. Only complaint was that for a 6 foot 3 bloke, the leg room was crippling. Any longer than 2 hours and I'd have had to get up for a walk around (but that's obviously expected at a cinema so old). I think I'll splash out for a sofa next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll splash out for a sofa next time I also saw this at the Electric yesterday and thought it was fantastic. Both the cinema and The Place Beyond the Pines. Gosling is awesome. Drinking whiskey whilst watching a film is ace! Only problem I had was that Gosling always had a fag in his mouth, really made we want to smoke!!! Was pretty gutted when Gosling died Edited April 18, 2013 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have been sitting next to each other! (I was at the very back right of the "red" (i.e. the non sofa) seats) yeah I was stunned, and gutted, when he died. Really took me by surprise, I just assumed he'd be in it the whole way through (or most of it at least) given that he was billed as the lead role. I was sat there thinking "Nah he won't be dead....oh... yeah he looks pretty dead!" In reality, Cooper is really the lead in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
