Just watched Tarrantino's latest film  :chunder:

Very, very disturbing. He must have had a bad childhood.

Hehe, i'm yet to see it. My little sis couldn't sleep when she saw it last week!

I've got it on dvd, but haven't got around to watching it yet. I'm not a big fan of horrors... :oops:

It's fucking sick. And i love nasty, gruesome films.

its not by Tarrantino

Well he's an editor of some sort!

pretty sure he just turned up once when it was being filmed. Written and directed by someone else

Directed by Eli Roth and produced by Tarrantino.

Talking of dodgy horrors Saw 3 is out this year, trailer online.....

tarantino threw money at it because eli roth is a bit rubbish.

whilst we're on the subject, i hate quentin

Saw was good. Saw II was ok. Saw III looks to be the same again, so might wear a little bit thin.

I like the sound of Hostel. Any other good horrors about at the moment?

Tarantino films are all shit

That's not true though. Pulp fiction is a fucking great film. Reservoir dogs and kill bill aren't bad but pulp fiction is a classic.

I'm revisiting an old classic, LA Confidential. More twists and turns than Lee Holmes could dream of. Good shit.

of course my horse - this film was so bad that it was almost good.

i think QT was an executive producer, which, in this case, means that he took a bit of money to put his name to the film for promo. he did something similar with "hero" (jet li), which was bought up by miramax, stored on a shelve for ages while kill bill 1 + 2 were being flogged, then rush-released with QT's name in front of it (because he liked the action in it, apparently, but had nothing else to do with it) before "house of flying daggers" came out and stole most of it's thunder.

I was about to post the same thing. Meh.

hostel was great, although it did take me two watches to get the whole weird gore/self-depricating comedy combination. the film basically takes the piss out of itself.

and tarantino is the don, although as has been said he had nothing to do with the film apart from putting his name on some posters for some bucks.

:oops:  Talking of films, I watched Green street earlier and cryed my eyes out. What a sad film. Really touched me!

 :shock:

.....only in your wet dreams dear.

I know its not a blockbuster but it certainly isnt a Romantic Comedy Dear.

I know I'm weird like that. I suprised myself because I've only ever cryed at one film and thats titanic, I'm usually a tough nut I am. The bit where that young boy was getting his head stamped on and died and at the end and when the main character died, crikey it really moved me :(

Green Street is crap anyway.

I did'nt think so. Thought it was good. Anything to do with football....I'm hooked.

It's Americanised, Hollywood bollocks.

i cryed when i watched the green mile.

Yeh the green mile is horrible too. Thats the thing, I only really get emotional when I know it actually happened or used to happen.

Are you taking the piss! :D

(ace film though)

nah seriously,i have watched about 15 times and cryed every time

When I watched a documentry on the hillsborough tragedy I cryed.That was horrible.

Bloody hell, I wouldn't watch any programmes on the Holocaust, you'll die of dehydration!

Fair enough, just a bit surprised that would be a film you'd cry at.

I think 'Stand by me' is the only film I've blubbed to. Probably more to do with River Phoenix being a bit of a cult hero of mine though.

thats a quality film.i bought it about two weeks ago .shawshank was another good one

King films are quality it's a fact.

Just finished reading Desperation, was proper quality. Just found out they made a film of it, will definitely have to see that!

sorry I'm thick and I never got that :)  But anyway I guess it was meant to be funny? so... ahahahaha....haha...ha.

Ace I thought as I read it Ron Perlman would be perfect as the sheriff and he is the sheriff in the film  8)

He deserved it for his awful accent.

Oh dear  :disapprove:

I don't know if that as tongue in cheek sade, so a quick run through.  Hillsborough - I believe 93 dead.  Holocaust - 6 million dead, ergo more crying, hence dehydration.

AH......gotcha. In all honesty I never even learnt about the holocaust at my secondry shitting school. But I see......yes I probably would ball at that too.

Hostel is the worse film i've ever seen. FACT
it isn't even nasty. no gore or bad bits at all. i was expecting something so much better.

the first hour is just a porn film the a few people die and he escapes and it ends. rubbish

the achilles bit?

but you don't see him cut it.
only when he tries to walk do you see it split open.
which on reflection was pretty smart but like when he chopped his toes off. it cut away. i was hoping to see it.

maybe i was expecting too much as people had raved on about how good it was etc

Which holocaust are you on about? I've seen a film called cannibal holocaust, I don't think 6 million were killed but it did get quite messy.

 I didn't cry but I couldn't finish the meatballs I'd cooked for my tea.

 :shock:  :evil:

Tarantino is over-rated though. I think Pulp Fiction is quality and I liked Resevoir Dogs alot. Kill Bill was good, but I still haven't got round to watching part 2, so I couldn't have found it that brilliant.

Some other Tarantino films he's been 'associated' with have been truly aweful (Once Upon A Time In Mexico being one) and I hated Jackie Brown.

i thought you might say that, if you just want to see gore try rotten.com where there's plenty of pictures of blokes who've shot their own heads off, etc.

the idea with cutting away is that the imagination is (or, should be) more powerful than the actual image. ala reservoir dogs when he cuts his ear off - you never see any gore because the camera moves away to a random part of the room at the last minute but many people find it to be one of the worst scenes ever to watch and cannot listen to 'stuck in the middle with you' without wincing at the memory of the scene. masterful use of music and image, tarantinos soundtracks are always top.

Just watched Hostel. I thought it was brilliant. Best horror I've seen in ages.

i still think it is a shockingly shit film

a decent horror film doesn't start off with the first 45 mins just being about tits and sex.

Trauma last night had me cringing more than Hostle did.

Might give that a go as well then. Cheers

in all seriousness it did.
this one chap had broken his ankle which was at 90deg.
the doctor had to pull it and twist it straight before he could do anything. The crunching etc of it was horrid. :shock:

Most horror films are shit these days. At least a lot of the older horror films were cheesy enough not to take too seriously or were actually good they did spook you a bit.

IT is my favourite horror film of all time.

'do ya wanna balloon??!!' Quality SiPi.

I also like poltergist(sp)
When the bloke is pulling all the skin from his face in the mirror. Excellent
