What film did you watch last night?

[EltonFrog]

Wild Geese with Richard Burton being all mean and pissed, Roger Moore doing that thing he does with his eyebrow, and Richard Harris acting his little socks off.

 

[Mattonsea]

"They should have sent a poet!"

there are a few contenders though (having perused the wiki list)... Terminator 2, City of Lost Children, 12 Monkeys, Star Trek: First Contact, Fifth Element... i might have to have a 90s sci-fi-athon and settle it.

Its not great pickings ,Event Horizon,Starship Troopers and er ...Phantom Menace ???

the hobbit an unexpected journey...cinematically it was top notch, even though I enjoyed it, it was a bit long and boring in places....

And the bloody singing.

I watched "Filth" on Netflix a ouple of nights ago. It is the film based on the book by Irvine Welsh which I read last year...very base!!

And the bloody singing.

I know, it is in the book, but it may well have been left there. Here's my idea of Middle-Earth Music.

When I found out they were making it, I wasn't sure how it was possible a it's one of the most degenerate things I've ever read. I thought it was an excellent adaptation and did a good job of capturing the surreal elements in the book.

I was dubious about McAvoy as Bruce, but he was absolutely superb. Disappointed by Shirley Henderson as Bunty though - not that she didn't play the part well, I just had a completely different picture of the character, especially physically as I thought she should totally dominate Blades.

Cracking soundtrack too. I'd like to see a film of Glue in the future, it's one of my favourite's. Porno would be good too, but I think it'd struggle to get a certificate and do justice to the book.

Filth is the only one of his books I have read, but in respect of his films I have seen Trainspotting as well. Whilst full of violence and squalor, I found Trainspotting less perverse than Filth. The characters in Trainspotting probably fit our stereotypes of small time drug dealers, users, streetwise youths and thugs, whereas the main character in Filth was seriously twisted and disturbed. I will probably try his other books at some point and prepare myself to be shocked. I know this is a film thread but whilst on the subject of shocking books for a moment, I read the Diceman by Luke Rheinhart some years ago, sick but compelling and hilarious in places.

You've pretty much gone in at the deep end with Filth, though Marabou Stork Nightmares has some pretty perverse scenes. The only other character who comes close to Bruce is Franco Begbie, who has a pathological hatred of pretty much everything.

Awesome and fascinating book, one of my favourites,

And the inspiration for this classic:
