Milltown Row2

For me there are some movies that need to be watched at the cinema. The rest should be on normal TV by dvd or some other legal media.  watching via downloads is never the same
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Definitely which was why I was asking O'Neill where he watched Life of Pi as all the clips and reviews have suggested it would be a cert for watching in the cinema. Big budget movies are made to make money from the cinema not for tv. Imagine watching a ropey download of the likes of Saving Private Ryan on a laptop feeling smug that you'd saved yourself a tenner.

A tenner? Do you go to the cinema on your own?
It costs the guts of €30 to go to the cinema in Dublin.

Most downloads are of excellent quality nowadays .

Went to the Odeon at the point to see the new bond movie when it was out, the parking was more expensive than the movie FFS!Rip off.

6.50 for cinema derry. Once the pop corn and coke are bought, probably come to 12 quid.

All in the eye of the beholder though. I had to think hard to recall whether I'd watched SPR in a cinema or not. Have watched it countless times since on all types of formats, mostly on a tiny tv in the early 00s. I don't watch it thinking Jaysus wasn't in great in the cinema with all the people and the surround sound and the big screen an all. The whole cinema experience thingy does nothing for me. I understand the attraction for children.

It's a bit like fireworks. I do like scenery at times. Not completely dead inside yet.

I watched a ropey Life of Pi and was astonished by what they achieved and would recommend it to anyone.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

life of pi 3d in cinema is must. Some films aren't great 3d but this is a goodin. A lot of the better 3d scenes are near the beginning but I still thought as a whole it was a great show

Watched Django Unchained (coincidently just after the C4 news interview) and thought it was superb. I'm a big Tarantino fan anyway but for me, this is another great cinematic pastiche up there with Jackie Brown and Inglorious Basterds. The Ennio Morricone soundtrack perfectly invokes the great Sergio Leone classics and hits a nice balance between homage and imitation.

Half way through Django Unchained and its good stuff, pretty brutal at times but strangely also a very funny scene of the KKK clansmen giving out about not being able to see out of their hoods at night, before they try to hang Django and his German bounty hunter companion, reminded me a bit like a blazing saddles scene for some reason.

need to get a bit of peace to watch the remaining hour or so.

Life Of Pi is one of the most visually astonishing movies I've ever seen. Don't miss it in the cinema.

Watched Boys don't cry the other night. Jaysis the last half an hour are hard to watch. Good show though.

Along with Fargo, their best flick IMO. Found Big Lebowski too much up it's own ass.

Fargo's a work of genius imho. Didn't yer woman Frances McDormand win an oscar for her part in it.....throw Buscemi and William H Macy into the mix and you can't go wrong.

That was the worse film I ever sat through. I dont think I sat through it all to be honest.
