My favorite thought-piece about Ferris Bueller is the “Fight Club” theory, in which Ferris Bueller, the person, is just a figment of Cameron’s imagination, like Tyler Durden, and Sloane is the girl Cameron secretly loves.

Intriguing...I may have to re-watch. It's a classic...

Really strange film, but still failry decent. Not unmissable, but good.
Thumps up

It's an awesome film IMO, great soundtrack too (the director, Jonas Ackerland, is a music video director by trade). Rourke's monologue regarding, ahem, 'the pussy', is classic...

I finally, for the first time in my life, watched an Indiana Jones film last night. Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Very good, I enjoyed it a lot.
Thumbs up

The mind boggles that you haven't seen an Indiana movie, but good you enjoyed it. The old ones are classic. I hated the new one though.

Just watched 'Burn After Reading' again last night to try and find the laughs. I struggled. To go from something as brilliant as 'No Country for Old Men' to that is ridiculous.

Movie marathon bank holiday weekend!

My boyfriend and I watched heaps:
The Big Labowski - Awesome...clearly
Dan In Real Life - very gentle comedy but no bad
The Happiness of the Katakuri's - fucking crazy and amazing until about half way through were it stops being funny and just gets confusing
Kung Fu Hustle - Got distracted halfway through but what I remember was good
Reservoir Dogs - classic...clearly awesome as well but still it's never quite as good as I think it's going to be.
Secretary - in lieu of going to Obedience School

I went to see In The Loop last week as and loved it.

This weeks viewing includes Venture Brothers or something, from Adult Swim. Anyone seen it?

Watching American History X

Fucking brilliant. Edward Norton is an awesome actor.

"Burn After Reading" was great!

You didn't even find the Head of the CIA scenes with J.K. Simmons funny?

It's a lot like The Big Lebowski; a slow burner that grows better with age and with more viewings.

Watched a film called Red Road at the weekend and really enjoyed it. It's about a Glaswegian CCTV operator - quite a rare filming location, and probably made it more interesting for a Scot watching it. Top drawer acting from most involved and the story really draws you in as the film progresses, leaving you guessing a lot 'til the end. In true Scottish cinema style, it doesn't really portray us in a great light, but is worth picking up!

On a Scottish Cinema theme, Sweet Sixteen is also a brilliant film.

Watching Fever Pitch on Sky+ for the first time in about 12 years.

The last time was when I had to do a book report in S1, but I couldn't be bothered reading a whole book; settled on watching the film instead. Pretty sure they were wildly different in the end
