Elaborate.

Well first off Mila Kunis gets locked in that well thing and then magically escaped. There is over 6 billion bibles in circulation the world, the whole perception that they have all been destroyed is stupid not to mention the Braille version of a bible is gigantic in comparison to the normal one. And then his 30 year trip should have only taken 38 days to walk. Then what about the Qur'an that never seems to be mentioned but that has 'taken control' of a lot of people. Also his iPod for some reason doesn't need to be charged.

I guess the point that irked me the most though was that because ' he was on a mission from god' he is able to survive everything. It is just lazy and annoying.

I can't explain how she escapes but with regards to the amount of bibles and books in general well it's feasible that in a post apocolyptic world with no electricity that people would naturally use books and such as a source of fire you know to heat up. If you pay attention to the whole movie Gary Oldman isn't just after the bible he collects as many books as he can for the knowledge they hold so books are obviously rare with the bible being the rarest.

His 30 year trip well he is blind.

The Qur'an if has never been mentioned how has it taken control of a lot of people? I have to rewatch it but I don't recall anything like that in the movie.

Finally finished Blue Velvet after seeing it on the AFI top 10 mystery movies about six years ago. I can confidently say it's shit. I mean, there's no mystery to it at all, which is definitely not Lynch's fault. But nothing is really that mystifying. You learn the entire plot and what's going on within twenty minutes, when Kyle McLaughlin gets trapped in Rosellini's closet and Dennis Hopper comes in, mad as fuck, gets mental rowdy all up in her shit and you learn he's kidnapped her husband and son.

What follows is an hour of exposition and the only surprise is that the "well dressed man" is Hopper wearing a fake mustache. It is important to note this supposedly massive reveal is that of a character who you see, from a distance, once before it is revealed to be Hopper. Yeah, he's seen coming out of a building after Hopper enters. OMG!

So if you're supposed to enjoy Lynch's style, which is jazz music, the colour red, small town values hiding deeper secrets; then knock yourself out. As far as I'm concerned it's trash. I hate David Lynch and after making the mistake of watching Mulholland Drive a few years ago I doubt I will ever watch anything he's made ever again.

Watched A Few Good Men and As Good As It Gets, this morning.

Saw Skyfall again. Enjoyed it even more the 2nd time, its just a very, very good film.

The cinematography throughout the entire film is outstanding too. Such a nice film to look at.

Finally got my head out of my arse and started watching the Pusher trilogy.

Finished the first film this morning, it was excellent. I could also see why that film significantly increased the demand for Carhartt jackets in Scandinavia after it's release.

Watched Skyfall last week. I hadn't watched a Bond film in years, but I loved Skyfall.

Javier Bardem was superb. One of the best, if not the best bond villain.

I had to sit through the new Twilight today, Certainly it's not my cup of tea but I promised the wife I would go with her to see it after she came with me to see Skyfall last week.
I suppose the story might have been alright if it wasn't for the dreary acting throughout.

Zombieland. Seen it before, not really sure why I watched it again. Decent film but not worth watching more than once.

The Dark Knight Rises for the 4th time. The plot holes and a couple of pointless characters mean it's not as good as The Dark Knight, but it still has some of the best moments of all the films.

Looper. Really enjoyed it. Not as much of a mind fuck as I expected it to be.

Very much so. Tonny's such a pathetic character, can't help but feel sorry for him.

Watched The Master. Fuckin brilliant. Masterpiece.

I just watched Carlos parts one through to three. It is basically a big biopic on Carlos the Jackal and how inbetween committing terrorist plots, he would continuously chain smoke and have sex with various prostitutes, whilst enjoying a nice Johnnie Walker Red Label.

I enjoyed it immensely.

Aye, an unsuccessful criminal with some sense of human decency to him stuck in a world of horrible cunts.

Watched that King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters documentary over the weekend. Loads of the people in it were total douchebags, and the subject matter was pretty stupid too, but it was really exciting and had me cheering at the end. Liked it quite a lot, getting into proper documentaries at the moment.

Any people would recommend?

I watched "The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town". I think it would be a good watch even if you aren't a Springsteen fan.

-----------------------------------

I watched Any Given Sunday the other day. I thought it was a reasonable decent watch and tackled quite a few of the issues with American Football (despite being 13 years old). I think they probably tried to fit too many different things in at the same time, it felt like it lacked in focus a little bit.

Hoop Dreams is probably my favourite ever documentary. So depressing though.
There's also The Thin Blue Line, and if you want a good laugh, go for American Movie: The Making of Northwestern.

Watch Touching The Void, it's tremendous.

In fact any documentary I recommend is usually fabulous:

Smartest Guys In The Room
Grizzly Man
Hands On A Hard Body
Catfish
Winnebago Man
Jiro: Dreams Of Sushi
Tabloid
Spellbound
Restrepo
Capturing the Friedmans
Deliver Us From Evil (must watch, it's incredible)

But seriously, watch Touching The Void. It's just perfect in every way.

I didn't list Man On Wire because while it's a good film I find that the French guy is inherently a liar and not in a good way that makes compelling viewing. Some people enjoy it, I didn't.

Finally saw The Master. That was a very, very good film. I'm still trying to process it all.

Both Hoffman and Phoenix were magnificent, two if the best performances I've seen for a while.

Watch it again. I loved it even more the second time.

"You know how to get rid of crabs?"
"No.."
"You gotta shave one testicle.. and all the crabs go over to the other testicle.. you gotta light the hair on fire on that one, and when they all go scurrying out you take an icepick AND YOU FUCKING STAB EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF THEM"

Yeah I want to see it again if I can. Lots to delve into.

I fucking loved Freddie's first processing session, that scene was incredible.

I'm watching Slumdog Millionaire on Netflix. Don't think I've seen it since it came out. Superb film.
