Ah yeah, there is that problem I suppose haha


Also saw Blue Jasmine last week, Woody Allen's latest one. Was excellent and Cate Blanchett will be hard done by if she doesn't get an Oscar nomination.

I reckon she'll romp it home. Allen's leading ladies usually do alright come nomination time anyway.

Never been a big fan of his but not seen alot of his stuff either. Is there a movie worth watching that really shows his talents?

They all show his talents... What's Up Tiger Lilly (his first?) - he acquired the rights to a Japanese gangster flick and dubbed his own dialogue over it. Sleeper is a great film with a screamingly funny Jewish tailor robot. Bananas, Love and Death, Annie Hall, Small Time Crooks, Manhattan etc etc... they are all good and each quite different. One of my favourites though, a black and white mystery with Mia Farrow and John Malkovich, Shadows and Fog... great.

If you like "dark" movies check out Bronson. Bit of an intense little flick about an English prisoner who has been in solitary for if I recall close to 20 years.

Just watched Spartacus (as mentioned above) last night.

It was not as good as the first two seasons.


Saw 'Frances Ha' last night at the Nova in Carlton, pretty good! Not usually a fan of black and white films but this one was done pretty well.

Bit of a chick flick but I was with the mrs, so it's slightly more acceptable...

A modern Black & White Film, I hope you scored big time with the wife

Is this the film?

That's the one, it was surprisingly good. Pretty different from anything else I've seen.

And it's the girlfriend, won't be married for a while yet!

Oh then you would have got heaps of bonus points with the GF then.

The Trailer looks good for a black and white show.

Love B&W when it's used well... Eraserhead, Elephant Man, Sin City (apart from the odd splash of colour), The Man Who Wasn't There, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid and so on... and of course all of those early films such as Wages of Fear, Cape Fear, Casablanca, Psycho and many many more...plus one particularly good psychological thriller The Snake Pit.

Some classic titles in there, must admit I haven't seen very many of them. Not usually a fan of black and white as it seems to test my attention span but maybe I've finally matured!

Loved Elephant Man when I saw it over 20 years ago.

Off too watch the latest Robin Hood movie with Mr Crow. Hope it better then his Gladiator movie.

Well, that begs the question, what were the first and second worst? :-)

They all show his talents... What's Up Tiger Lilly (his first?) - he acquired the rights to a Japanese gangster flick and dubbed his own dialogue over it. Sleeper is a great film with a screamingly funny Jewish tailor robot. Bananas, Love and Death, Annie Hall, Small Time Crooks, Manhattan etc etc... they are all good and each quite different. One of my favourites though, a black and white mystery with Mia Farrow and John Malkovich, Shadows and Fog... great.

Annie Hall takes the cake for me, although I also have a soft spot for Take the Money and Run.

I'm currently re-reading The Complete Prose of Woody Allen, which takes in Without Feathers, Getting Even and Side Effects.

If you're a Woody Allen fan, it's well worth a read. I actually find his writing funnier than his movies - as one reviewer notes on the blurb of this collection: "No 500-page book ever contained a laugh a line, but this one goes pretty close."

LOL there was something missing in the movie so I never actually watch the end of it!

Never been a big fan of his but not seen alot of his stuff either. Is there a movie worth watching that really shows his talents?

I was the same until I saw 'Hannah & Her Sisters'. I didn't get 'Annie Hall' the first two times I watched it. Wasn't for me. Haven't re-watched it since, but Hannah is just a brilliant film. 'Husbands & Wives' is the other classic. 'Love & Death' is awesome. 'Interiors' is dramatic, but if you like Bergman (as I do), you'll love it.

Got 'What's Up Tiger Lilly' the other day. Will probably watch it over the weekend. I concur in a sense RE: the uniqueness. Particularly true of his early films. Whereas, films like 'Manhattan' and 'Husbands & Wives' carry strong similarities (falling for a woman that are way too young for the male character) and he's pretty much always divorcing someone or being divorced. 'Shadows & Fog' is a great little homage, but I found it a little dull and I'm a big fan of German Expressionism. 'Sleeper' is amazing though.

I like it, but I actually think we did it better with 'Chopper'. It has more style than 'Chopper' though. Very much trying to channel something out of Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange'.

'Frances Ha' is a bizarre film. The first half is like a poorly acted, scripted and shot student film. The second half brings into focus the neurotic, self-important mutterings of its middle/upper class director. It reminded me of a poorer version of GIRLS, which I find has similar flaws. "Oh, it's so tough being a middle class white kid. How ever will I afford my $4,000 per week apartment? Don't live there then, [censored]." :P End rant.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
