Movie recommendations

[screenexile]

Watched Joker this evening and thought it was a great piece of film making. The most uncomfortable 2 hours ever but exceptionally well done just eery stuff going on the whole time and not being sure where it's going next.

Saw some poor reviews and some good ones but I can see why some live it and some would hate it. Definitely worth seeing though.

I would highly recommend it though be prepared to squirm in your seat a lot!!

Best advice I can give about Joker is go watch it and don't allow yourself read or hear anything about it.

the thing that struck me about Joker was that Joaquin Phoenix was in like 98% if the scenes, the film was all about him and he took the bull by the horns and completely nailed it, unreal performance.

I do that with any film I watch.

Anyone seen Blinded By The Light?

Yeah saw it at the weekend.
A bit cheesy, but decent light entertainment. Would make you want to listen to springsteen again. 6.5/10

The Joker out next month has some decent trailers  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAGVQLHvwOY  critics saying it's an oscar worthy masterpiece. Will it live up to the hype I'd wonder?

Phoenix is touted as getting an oscar for the performance. Ledger got one for his previous protrayal of the Joker. Bound to be unusual for two different actors to get oscars for the same character if it happens.

On Quientin.......he definitely is an acquired taste as screen said earlier
Pulp Fiction - good
Reservoir Dogs - good
Jackie Brown - trash
Kill Bill - trash
Unglorious Basterds - trash
Django - trash

I'm not a movie buff and certainly not one to like a movie because it's fashionable to. And, in reference to previous posts, I think anyone who doesn't like Shawshank is just being a knob pretending they don't like it to be somehow above the poor masses.

But I really enjoyed all the above mentioned QT movies, apart from Jackie Brown, which I've never seen.

Django was awesome.

Not yet.

Reviews are mixed.

Being a big Springsteen fan I'll give it a lash when it hits Amazon.

The Joker one of the best psychological thrillers i have watched. A great piece of acting by Joaquin Phoenix certainly Oscar worthy.

What is all these reactions to the Joker about; uncomfortable viewing etc.  Surely its nowhere near half as bad as a lot of other films/tv shows.

It's different. Hard to explain without giving a lot of the story away.

People are complaining it's not a true reflection of mental illness and glorifies violence etc. Etc.

It's a f**king comic book film if you're looking for a real depiction of mental illness watch a documentary!!!

Seen some negative reviews about El Camino. I thought it was excellent.

Do you need to have remembered BB Clar?

I watched BB (Loved it) but it's been a while!

[nrico2006]

Camino on its own is ok. BB nostalgia makes it seem better.
