Title: Hostel Post by: Ralphy on Monday, August 14, 2006, 19:59:52 Just watched Tarrantino's latest film :chunder:
Very, very disturbing. He must have had a bad childhood. Title: Hostel Post by: McLovin on Monday, August 14, 2006, 20:00:49 Hehe, i'm yet to see it. My little sis couldn't sleep when she saw it last week!
Title: Hostel Post by: Sippo on Monday, August 14, 2006, 20:00:52 I've got it on dvd, but haven't got around to watching it yet. I'm not a big fan of horrors... :oops:
Title: Hostel Post by: Ralphy on Monday, August 14, 2006, 20:02:04 It's fucking sick. And i love nasty, gruesome films.
Title: Hostel Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Monday, August 14, 2006, 20:02:15 its not by Tarrantino
Title: Hostel Post by: Ralphy on Monday, August 14, 2006, 20:02:55 Well he's an editor of some sort!
Title: Hostel Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Monday, August 14, 2006, 20:04:42 pretty sure he just turned up once when it was being filmed. Written and directed by someone else
Title: Hostel Post by: Ralphy on Monday, August 14, 2006, 20:04:58 Directed by Eli Roth and produced by Tarrantino.
Title: Hostel Post by: Dazzza on Monday, August 14, 2006, 20:16:57 Talking of dodgy horrors Saw 3 is out this year, trailer online.....

whilst we're on the subject, i hate quentin Title: Hostel Post by: hansgruber on Monday, August 14, 2006, 20:33:32 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? Title: Hostel Post by: Ginginho on Monday, August 14, 2006, 20:49:34 Tarantino films are all shit
Title: Hostel Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Monday, August 14, 2006, 21:03:46 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.
Title: Hostel Post by: juddie on Monday, August 14, 2006, 21:19:21 I'm revisiting an old classic, LA Confidential. More twists and turns than Lee Holmes could dream of. Good shit.
Title: Hostel Post by: lebowski on Tuesday, August 15, 2006, 15:52:52 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.

Title: Hostel Post by: oxford_fan on Thursday, August 17, 2006, 11:25:58 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.

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 :(
Title: Hostel Post by: Ralphy on Saturday, August 19, 2006, 14:07:57 Green Street is crap anyway.
Title: Hostel Post by: Sade on Saturday, August 19, 2006, 14:28:40 I did'nt think so. Thought it was good. Anything to do with football....I'm hooked.

Title: Hostel Post by: Sussex on Saturday, August 19, 2006, 14:59:05 Quote from: "red macca" nah seriously,i have watched about 15 times and cryed every time 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.

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

He must have had a bad childhood. 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 Title: Hostel Post by: oxford_fan on Saturday, August 19, 2006, 23:22:32 the achilles bit?
Title: Hostel Post by: magicroundabout on Sunday, August 20, 2006, 07:40:09 Quote from: "oxford_fan" 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 Title: Hostel Post by: spacey on Sunday, August 20, 2006, 11:12:21 Quote from: "Doore" I don't know if that as tongue in cheek sade, so a quick run through.

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. Title: Hostel Post by: Spud on Sunday, August 20, 2006, 11:16:15 Quote from: "Ginginho" Tarantino films are all shit :shock: :evil: Title: Hostel Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, August 20, 2006, 12:09:25 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. Title: Hostel Post by: oxford_fan on Sunday, August 20, 2006, 12:20:05 Quote from: "magicroundabout" Quote from: "oxford_fan" 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 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. Title: Hostel Post by: hansgruber on Monday, August 21, 2006, 23:00:33 Just watched Hostel. I thought it was brilliant. Best horror I've seen in ages.
Title: Hostel Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, August 22, 2006, 08:58:19 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. Title: Hostel Post by: hansgruber on Tuesday, August 22, 2006, 12:10:01 Quote 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: Title: Hostel Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, August 22, 2006, 12:28:09 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. Title: Hostel Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, August 22, 2006, 12:31:49 '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 |
