Film Fanatics Society - Chat Thread

What does everyone think of this: http://gizmodo.com/5651826/inception-ending-revealed-by-sir-michael-caine

Just saw it in the other thread...

As I said in the other thread, by making an authoritative comment about an immensely popular subject he guaranteed himself free advertising on a mass scale.

But let's be honest, Caine doesn't know jack **** about the film. For a start, what does he even mean by "I'm the guy who invented the dream?". No matter what he's trying to imply, whether that he invented the technique, that he's an architect for some of the film or whatever, it's either irrelevant, stupid or just plain wrong. Caine looks more and more senile every time I hear about him.

In fairness the timing of it coincided with the end of my term so I haven't had any time to deal with or promote it. Might try and get a themed one up over christmas when people have more time and see if we can't drum up a bit of support - Great Escape, anyone?

I love Tom Hanks, so Castaway is good. And I saw 500 days of Summer recently and liked it, the independent movie type, and the cute love story, although the end kind of leaves you waiting and with an uncomfortable feeling I think.

Haven't seen you posting much recently, where have you been?

And yeah, Coach Carter is a wonderful film. What do you think was Jackson's best performance, that or Pulp Fiction?



Really? Sneaking around Nazi Germany would be pretty sweet, and also hold a big two fingers to everyone who has tried it and failed miserably.

I dunno about it being a bad thing. I mean, I can't believe in just one year that they managed to fit in everything into AC2, and make it so polished as well. And they've done the same thing with Brotherhood. Until they start compromising something, whether it's the story, the mechanics or the innovation, I'm happy for them to continue pumping them out as often as they feel they can.

I'm sure we can rule out Hugo Strange as TDKR villain now since he's in Arkham City. It's published by Warner Bros and Eidos so I can't see WB, or even Nolan, wanting the biggest film of 2012 to have the same villain of a 2011 video game.

Plus the fact that Arkham Asylum was a very well received game by critics which then led to increased sales which then has, undoubtedly, created much anticipation for the new game.

I agree. Not to mention having a whole trailer around the character so they are obviously touting him as a major character - featuring or having a major role in the game.

I wonder if the villain for TDKR was ever considered (unknowingly) for the game and whether they would have been told to keep them out of the Arkham City game.

If anyone is interested:

And yet he's still a great actor.

Parodies have gone so wrong in the pasts few years.

Anyone want to tell me what to download from skyplayer?

Just watched Million Dollar Baby for the first time.

For those of you who have watched it, what did you think of it?

Watched Scent of a Woman last night. Some parts of the script didn't quite convince me, but Pacino's acting was sublime (though I still prefer Dog Day Afternoon overall).
