I love Joseph Gordon Levitt!

I hadn't heard of that one, it looks interesting though. Is it available anywhere accessible?

...I will keep looking, Vanessa...while we watch American Psycho...

...another worthy Christian Bale movie...(...when he was a child actor..)...is Empire of the Sun...

[Bollo]

So i watched Defiance...

Spoiler:

I'm sure it's a good movie if you like that genre...but I've never really been able to get into war movies. It's a very relevant story about a part of history which i never knew about... However I'm a bit of a phillistine when it comes to history and i just couldn't get into it, i didn't find any of the characters resonated... but thats just me I'm not always the most empathetic person.... sorry

I'm looking forward to watching Eternal sunshine later

Spoiler:

..that’s totally cool and the good thing with the club...it’s easy to dip in and out only with the ones that appeal to us as well and there will be so much variation... I love true stories and people/human stories ...

Spoiler:

I'm not usually a fan of war movies either but I do like these type ones of human survival and what people can do when they have to

I watched Eternal Sunshine today based off this thread and enjoyed it, think I actually made it more confusing than it was because for a lot of the film I was thinking they must have had their memories erased more than once lol

It was a sweet, clever film though which was well acted, probably give it a 7/10

It just wasn't top of my movie watch list , but sometimes I accidentally end up watching movies when they're on TV Blue Valentine being an example ,but that was a depressing weird movie .

Ah you should try Eternal Sunshine, it is a bit weird but also just a nice movie at the same time, I'd really like to hear your thoughts on it now

..No pressure to watch it but I hope that you join us for some of the movies, GoldHeart...you always add so much great thought to topics etc...

[Ammi]

...I watched American Psycho last night, I’ll hold off on a review for now because I haven’t quite got my thoughts with it yet.../...not completely...

...I found it hard because I’m not sure that I absorbed it all because I struggled so much with the content.../...violence...that I wasn’t chilled at all throughout and open to the plot/storyline...anyways I did watch it and am looking forward to seeing the thoughts of others...

Thanks Ammi

Just read your post about American Psycho , I watched that movie ages ago and Christian Bale is like a chameleon and he's convincing in that role . it's also like a dark comedy but that's probably because of Patrick Bateman's creepy smiley manic personality .

Again, I know The Deer Hunter is a classic but I found it pretty boring, maybe I have bad taste, i don't know

True Romance is my favourite Quentin Tarantino film...I haven't seen it for years so can't remember much but I have it on DVD so that means i liked it....

I did like watching it and got a bit obsessed with it as where the parents lived was on the same road i grew up in in Croydon and it was really weird seeing my old street on telly! but i got to ep4 and thought they're never going to wrap this up in one series...still a goood show though

American Psycho is great, again though I haven't watched it in years so can't remember the details I have it on DVD so i know it's a film I liked...

Still got to watch Eternal though which I'm going to do tommorrow

[Bollo]

So I watched Eternal Sunshine....

Spoiler:

It was much more surreal than I remember but also quite realistic in terms of relationships in that most finish on bad terms and we would love to forget them but then later on we remember the good times. The interesting question though is would we do them the same as strangers armed with the information of what went wrong in the first place? Very thought provoking...
I also had forgotten the relationships between the people that worked for Lacuna which were good subplots..especially the guy trying to seduce Clementine with Joels words...

I would love to have seen a bit more of the start of the relationship and how Joel finished it with Naomi as its sounds like there was an overlap

Spoiler:

...apparently there were some scenes which were deleted that gave more insight into Joel’s relationship with Naomi because it would have changed how we saw him ...in that there could have been an overlap, as you say, Bollo...when he and Clementine first met and he appeared awkward/shy, the suggestion is that it could equally have been guilt, rather than shyness...I hadn’t actually picked up on that...(...I googled whether there was an overlap......so that was very perceptive of you...the unedited scene(s) might be viewable online, I’m not sure...

...Elijah Wood’s character, Patrick..?...was such a creep, taking her underwear when the erasing was being done and basically ‘stealing’ Joel’s memories..it was obviously all about Joel and Clementine but how many females had he done that with...?...and obviously Howard was such a creep as well, to feel that something like that and how vulnerable someone would be etc in that situation...would be abused in such a way...it’s just shuddering....

...yeah, I guess it would be interesting to think, would we go back to a relationship because of the good times...?...and I guess that would always vary, depending on the reasons for it ending and whether a different outcome could ever be possible...I need to think about that more.....

Spoiler:

...yeah, Christian Bale is excellent in the part and such a convincing ‘psycho’....I guess for me, GoldHeart ...?...because there was so much that I couldn’t watch with the violence, it also meant I missed so much of that dark comedy as well...I did catch it in a few places but I just felt so tense throughout that everyone he met, he would slaughter and sadly I couldn’t get beyond that...but I know that’s just a personal thing for me...

Yes it's mine too

[Niamh.]

I watched half of American Psycho over the weekend, I'll finish it today

[Niamh.]

American Psycho

Spoiler:

This one confused me more than Memento and Eternal Sunshine wtf? Did he actually kill anyone or is he just completely insane and imagined it all? Anyway, hhhmmm I didn't like it very much. It was a very cold kind of a film, none of the characters were likable in anyway especially Patrick (I know you're not supposed to like him) but yeah, not a fan of this one at all
