We haven't watched it yet, my friend just got here a while ago. Still not sure if we'll watch it tonight or hold off until we have a better selection of liquor for your drinking game suggestion... pretty sure all that's handy is cheap whiskey, cheaper whiskey, triple sec and a little bit of really, really bad vodka.

Also I just realised I accidentally double-posted earlier. Eek.

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

V for vendetta was great until I watched five times in a row then it just got bland between the explosions .-.

[WillowLuman]

Why would you watch something 5 times in a row?

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Nothing better to do that and I was to lazy to take it out and put somethig. Else in so I just hit play whenever it ended......... Ya not suggested for any movie

[WillowLuman]

You should get a streaming box. Those are perfect for lazy viewing.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Don't those require internet?
Also I'm a teenager in at the will of whatever my parents get

[WillowLuman]

Recommend they get one, then. They're relatively inexpensive and highly convenient. Do your parents watch much?

Movie recommendation: Hogfather. Probably the best adaptation of a Discworld book. I'd recommend reading the book first, but you don't have to in order to understand what's going on.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Meh
Mostly tv shows

Wait dose a direct tv thing count? We can watch recorded stuff but don't have the movie Chanels

[WillowLuman]

Do you have a subscription to netflix, hulu, amazon, or one of the other streaming sites? The box is mostly to let you use those directly on the TV

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Nope
No wireless internet out here in the middle of freaking  nowhere

Just finished Ida. It's a good example of a slow burning film that still manages to keep the pacing at an engaging level, and despite employing many lengthy shots with minimal or no dialogue it never felt like it was dragging on needlessly. I've seen similar arthouse style films that pad out the run time with superfluous or needlessly drawn out scenes, but here no scene seemed out of place, and I was still fully engaged to the end. More and more I'm seeing it as an accomplishment for films to successfully trim down to a reasonable length, and it was refreshing to see a film of this type that conveyed a powerful message and moving storyline within a consistently well-paced span.

If you're looking for a rather subtle and nuanced watch, Stalker should do it for you. The only real complaint I had when I originally watched it was that Tarkovsky had about half a dozen ideas for how to end the film and decided to use them all, but in retrospect it actually fit rather well with the tone. On a side note, it's equal parts amusing and depressing reading about all the problems they had filming it.

Hope somebody could help me:

I'm looking for movies which evoke the same or a similar atmosphere as movies like Underworld (first three, especially the first) or "Let the right one in" (original).

It doesn't have to be something about vampires (actually, after watching those two movies I'd prefer something else for a change), but it shoud have a dark and mysterious atmosphere. It's hard to describe what I'm looking for, although the label "gothic atmosphere" could probably fit.

Genre doesn't matter that much, but I guess thrillers/horror movies are probably the best fit for my request.

[WillowLuman]

The Pentagon Wars. Hilarious, yet also depressing when you consider how corrupt and wasteful the government can be.

I've just finished watching 'Under the skin'. A rare specimen of the alien-psychology exploration genre. The only other one I can think of being 'The man who fell to Earth' with 1976's David Bowie.

What can I say, it was fantastic. Dark as hell. Does the 'show not tell' shtick masterfully, almost to a fault.

A treat for those who like their films brainy, cryptic, evocative and disquieting. Needs to be watched at night, with no distractions, to help with immersion. I don't think they're playing it in cinemas anymore.
