Really want to see that.
Watched Mulholland Drive last night. Remember when it came out there was a lot of talk about how weird it was, so I was expecting it to be weird, but it was, like, weird. Enjoyable tho' - I certainly don't regret seeing it.

I think some of them are using software to generate subtitles these days, and not very good software. I was watching a subbed scandi-drama last year and every time a character said come over/came over/coming over the subtitles said camera-man ...no human can make that error so consistently.
Yes, I watched that. Thought it was really good, even if Dench's accent slipped occasionally but it's really the subject matter which is so gripping.

Even if they use software to do the first run (and why not?) you'd think they'd give the result a run past a real live human, to pick up on that kind of (inevitable) glitch.

Over the weekend we watched PS I Love You (which is dreadful, and hilarious for it). The writer and director also wrote The Fisher King and The Bridges of Madison County.
How that's possible is beyond me.

Django Unchained.
Very good acting from a host of famous faces, but its really just Tarrantino making the same film over and over again.
5/10. Meh.

Gold Diggers of 1933, made in 1933, an extraordinary mix of lightweight fluff and really quite bitter commentary on the great depression, leading to a six minute finale song/sequence called 'My Forgotten Man', effectively a tribute to the servicemen who returned from WW1 to a life of redundancy and poverty. It's on YouTube, and worth a look, though some cretin has felt the need to add subtitles - why, given that the whole is in perfectly clear English, I can't imagine.

If you can, look out a Danish film called "A Hijacking" - makes a good companion piece to Captain Phillips.
The best thing he's done since Jackie Brown, but still far too convinced of it's own cleverness, and in desperate need of a ruthless editor.
As for me, I watched "Unfriended", which has just popped up on Netflix.
I'm surprised it hasn't received more attention, as it feels like it could be genre defining in the way that Blair Witch was. Essentially, a group of teens is tormented by a mysterious figure who seems to be extracting revenge for their bullying of a girl who committed suicide. The unique conceit here though, it that the action takes place in skype windows, facebook messages and youtube windows, all shown on the protagonist's screen - a screen we don't leave for the entirety of the film. That can be hard work at times (the text can seem painfully small!) It's well done, given the character's potential unlikeability, and the way the action takes place is something I've not seen done before. Well worth catching.
