Bluey's Dad

Interesting, a few there I haven't seen. Must watch Pan's Labarynth again. I don't think I was in the right frame of mind when I watched it the first time. Thanks for the link :D

Really? Interesting. Where does City of God sit? That's my all time favourite foreign film.

Probably damaged by sunlight or something.

Amelie was ok but is overrated. I'm pretty sure it gets its standing in society by hipsters saying "my favourite movie is Amelie, it's French, you've probably never heard of it". Metropolis was amazing. I have heard that there's a director's cut that has something like 40 extra minutes but I haven't seen it

Ty for source. I wasn't gonna ask.

"King Size" Rofl

I don't think it explores that at all. I think it TRIES to, but falls flat. As I said before, he didn't need to beat us over the head with the renaissance/rebirth metaphor. It wasn't subtle at all, it was a bludgeon. "Hey audience, check this out! Rebirth lolololol" I guess I'm in the minority. It's possible my opinions are coloured by having watched it for the first time only recently. It didn't feel like being ahead of its time because I'd already seen those themes explored in other films and books. I remember watching it, thinking, "Measure of a man" was a far far better exploration of AI than this. And that was a 45 minute Star Trek episode. The new Battlestar Galactica series also explored these themes in a much more fulfilling and interesting way, even if they did meander around for 2 seasons and close with a horrible ending. The visuals again I struggle with. I find them more distracting than interesting. Again this may be because of my age and the other types of films and TV I had already been exposed to.

I love this forum.

Depends on the gallery ManDee I guess if you're talking visually, I might agree with you. But narratively I find 2001 completely uninteresting. Plus it doesn't really explore the notion of AI evolving or becoming more. It just is. It doesn't really explore the concepts of rebirth and evolution, stuff just happens. I'm not sure this is really requiring the viewer to fill in the gaps so much as splashing a few concepts on the screen and seeing what sticks. A Clockwork Orange is a completely different beast. I think themes are actually explored in that movie, as opposed to 2001 which just feels like a disjointed set of partially formed ideas. But I guess that's art, it makes people feel different things and encourages debate. On Frozen - it's great enjoyable fluff. Love the music, love the story. It's not trying to say a whole lot. It's not trying to be more than it is.

I find it visually nauseating, even allowing for its age. My biggest problem with it is the pacing, its just far far too slow. Nothing interesting at all happens for massive swathes of the movie. Now, Clockwork Orange on the other hand is also nauseating, but in a good way that I think was intentional.

Only the first half of full metal jacket is good. 2001 is supremely overrated. "Dave's in a RENAISSANCE styled room! Maybe he's being REBORN! SYMBOLISM!"

Yep, Viney was looking great in both games. Hard at it, great tackles and much better disposal than last season. Gutted.

Tuesday is ASADA's deadline I think, which is why McDevitt is so [censored] that the AFL tribunal haven't handed down a decision on Dank. That decision will have an effect on ASADA's call on appealing or not. After Tuesday, WADA has 21 days to appeal.

It's this sort of [censored] that makes people distrust the AFL. It makes me so angry.

Essendon were fined $2m and lost draft picks for poor governance. As the actual drugs being administered weren't proven, they have not been punished for that. Yet.

When you suddenly gain huge amounts of muscle and don't even question the legality. If it happened to me, I'd pique my interest enough to ask a few questions.

If I got that big that fast, I'd certainly be asking what was in the magic needles I was being prodded with. I think the players are as liable as anyone else. If they didn't explicitly know what was in the needles, then they were just being wilfully ignorant to allow for plausible deniability.

You sure sound angry.

Damnit I have no sound at work! What did he say?

Yeah, I guess now any Essedon player can basically point to the Tribunal finding and say "well, it wasn't TB4, what was it? How dangerous was it? What are the side effects?"

To people like you and I, yeah they'll look completely compromised. To Bombers supporters, CAS will look like a joke as they will say "the players were already cleared".

Yeah apparently you can have thousands of injections, not know what was in them, and get off. Staggering.
