I saw Brokeback Mountain on DVD yesterday...and God damn it i was nearly in tears! Someone like my dad (bless him, he's getting on abit) wouldn't like it. He saw the DVD and put it back down again. I guess it isn't for everyone. Even i was unsure about watching it. Some parts were rather shocking... but it is quite amazing how it touches you emotionally. Now, i want my own cowboy! *cries* I have always liked the Indiana Jones films. I could watch them a million times and still never grow bored. I quite fancy watching a Bond film now... |

Wow. How refined. Clearly this is not a forum of people with a high degree of cinematic interest. 'Casablanca', 'Blow-Up', '8 1/2', 'M', 'Metropolis', 'Profondo Rosso' if you like horror, 'The Great Dictator', etc. etc. etc. |

Hmm, I would say - BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (ahh, man, this movie stayed in my head for a week after I saw it) - STAR WARS EP IV, V and VI (Brilliant, spec ep V) - PULP FICTION (Fucking awsome, Tarantino is the man) - EDWARD SCISSORHANDS (Johnny Depp is my absolute favourite actor, Burton my favourite director) - WHATS EATING GILBERT GRAPE? (Wonderful, Leo Di Caprio so awsome) - MOULIN ROUGE (so over-the-top, I just love it) - A PERFECT WORLD (Eastwood, very good director, one of the few good Costner-movies) - ACE VENTURA (I just had to put that in, the funniest ever!) - DIE HARD (It's not the best movie, but it's the best action movie) - FORREST GUMP As for the worst, I would have to say King Kong (2005), such a pointless Jurassic Park-rip off. Jack Black is embarrasing. I'll have to get back... there are more... |

And I know that I'm missing some great cultural phenomenon by not watching either the LOTR or Harry Potter stuff, but I kinda wanna read the books first, and as a grad student I've got too much to read. I did try and watch the first LOTR movie, but by the end of the movie I was just sitting their confused because I couldn't keep any of the characters straight! My old history advisor told me to read the books though, because they were written by a historian from the area of history I want to study and have a lot of social history of medieval England in them... A friend told me if I read "The Hobbit" first I'd get the characters straight...maybe I'll have to start there. |

A friend told me if I read "The Hobbit" first I'd get the characters straight...maybe I'll have to start there.First of all Harry Potter is NOTHING like LOTR. It doesn't have by far the same depth and range of LOTR. The author of LOTR is professor J.R.R. Tolkien, he was a professor of linguistics, not history, with a keen interest on medieval poetry and old english. Middle Earth came about to explain the origin of two languages he created from scratch (the elven languages Sindarin and Quenya). from them he created a whole universe, of wich LOTR and The Hobbit are just a small part, he used to describe them as the tip of an iceberg. The Hobbit is a good place to start but not at all necessary to understand LOTR, because the action in the book is more paused and there is enough time to absorb the information (there is even a synopsis of The Hobbit incorporated in the narrative). Peter Jackson's work is fabulous. He was able to take the central themes of the books and put them in the screen and make those characters come to life in a way that you bellieve Middle Earth is real (as Tolkien intended in the first place when writing the books). Take the time and read the books, you wont regreat it. |
