After strenuous and slightly alcoholic fact-checking, I have confirmed that The Blues Brothers is indeed still a classic.

Plus it's been declared a "Catholic Classic" by the Vatican! That's got to be worth something!

Strike up another recommendation for Big Hero 6.

While the plot was relatively predictable, it's still pretty funny and has gorgeous production values.

Apparently Disney had to set up a supercluster of computers just to render the lighting in the damn thing

Just got out of watching Interstellar



Oh my god! That movie was so freaking amazing and well written
Was on the edge of my seat the whole movie (ok the latter 2/3 of it but still)
I will be seeing this movie again many times

Big Trouble in Little China is a perennial favorite of mine (not to be confused with Big Trouble, also a favorite)

Seconded. I love Kurt and I love Carpenter even more.

Just watched "The Brother from Another Planet".

Not sure what I was expecting, but I thought it was great. If the title's enough to make me laugh, I'll usually watch it, and this was worth it.

i didn't really like interstellar at all and i was pretty hyped up. the story is kinda nice, but although the science part is slightly better thought than most thing that pass for science fiction in hollywood, the characters were pretty generic and the dialogue was pretty badly written. i cringed at the parts where established smart people explained to each other in layman's terms pretty basic sciency stuff that has been common knowlege in pop culture for a long time. "hey fellow scientist, ever heard of relativity?"
all in all i'd rather watch scott manley playing ksp, depite the inferior graphics

So I saw a great movie yesterday, one I should recommend. You know, there comes a time in every man's life when he asks himself: How can I demonstrate my sophistication, intellectuality, and general superiority to my friends? And how can I still keep enjoying myself?
The answer to the first question obviously is watching European-made movies. In the original, preferrably. The answer to the second question is making it In Order Of Disappearance.
A Swedish plowdriver going on a rampage to avenge his son, setting off a gang war in the process - and all this set in the frozen mountains of Norway. It's a goddamn inside tip - this movie won't be hyped, of that I'm sure.

This looks frigging awesome, definitely adding it to my to-watch list. Thanks!
Anyway, I've been really getting into B-Grade horror/action/comedy/whatever lately. All because of a cool looking box set I happened to stumble across in a shop specialising in obscure DVDs. The movie that box set was for? The Class of Nuke 'Em High. Hilarious stuff, go watch it.

I'm (hopefully) going to a couple of nights at a horror film festival over the next week or so, too. Looking forward to seeing Wolf Cop, Dead Snow 2, Throwback and Fury (not the shitty Brad Pitt film which I had the misfortune of seeing recently) especially. Going to see Nuke 'Em High and The Toxic Avenger (which I haven't seen yet) back-to-back as well, which promises to be a good time!

Gonna watch it with a friend later. I am excited.

Great! Make it a drinking game: Get three sorts of liquor - for Norwegians, Serbs, and Others - and down a shot every time someone dies

[KingofstarrySkies]

I heartily recommend V for Vendetta and Fanboys. Both are mindbogglingly awesome.

I just watched The Babadook.  Pretty scary.  Not jump scares either, genuine scary.

The basic gist is that a woman's husband dies driving her to the hospital to deliver her son.  Her son is obsessed with monsters and she pulls him out of school after he brings a homemade crossbow to school.  A book called "Mister Babadook" appears in his book shelf and she reads it to him and as he grows obsessed with the Babadook her life starts to fall apart.

Spoiler: If anyone's seen it (click to show/hide)

Do you think the Babadook is a hallucinatory representation of the trauma and resentment from the husband's death (the more you deny it the stronger it gets!), or a real living manifestation of said trauma and resentment?

I'm leaning towards the latter.

Also, the fucking magic trick where he somehow manages to obtain a live dove.  Did anyone else see that and immediately think she murdered the kid and everything after that night is a hallucination?

[TamerVirus]

A scary monster name, Babadook it ain't.

So Yoink, how was it?
