The Film Thread

Have you seen Dogma ?

Dogma’s class as well but you need to watch Mallrats and Chasing Amy in between.

 

[Boozad]

New Joker film is brilliant.

As a Batman fan I didn’t like the look of it from the trailers this gives me a it of faith.

I haven't watched either of those and I should do.

 

[BillyDee]

Yes, you should.

Got my work cut out I think. So order is Mallrats, Chasing Amy then Dogma?

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

I loved Clerks. Great soundtrack. I hate Jay and Silent Bob movies though. Boring, one dimensional shite.

Correct

 

[The Bear]

You don't need to see those two to enjoy Dogma. There's a couple of in-jokes but not really much.

 

[Langers]

Mallrats is my favourite. It's the most stupid but it always makes me laugh - got lots of good memories watching that.

 

[machin05]

Only seen Dogma out of that lot. Loved it tho.

Yeah it's a different take on the Jokers back story, it's not linked to any other batman films or anything like that, but think the way it's put together is pretty clever. I enjoyed it.

I think it’s based on The Killing Joke which I think is the only real Joker origin ever published. I’m more than familiar with the story so I tend to focus on the Joker as a character more than the story itself. I was gutted when I heard Heath Ledger was playing the Joker all those years ago but his performance was the best I’ve seen by far so hopefully this one measures up.

I think it was more the face paint that disappointed me, it out of canon and that’s one thing that always puts me off. Mind you, anything has to be better than Jared Leto’s Joker in Suicide Squad, that was absolutely appalling.

You should.

Only seen Dogma, which is brilliant.

I watched Hostel last night. A couple of questions:

1. Who actually thinks up this shit
2. Who actually enjoys watching it?

Absolute garbage. I'm all for a bit of clever filmmaking, subtle camera angles, lighting, atmospheric music etc but this was base level garbage with zero redeeming qualities. Just gratuitous violence with some tits thrown in for good measure.

Utterly bizarre - and they made 2 sequels?! :icon_lol:

I'm getting the name......Paddy

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I’m not actually hugely into gratuitous violence on film. A smattering of tits on the other hand...

Your selling point on GoT to me was "Dragons, gratuitous violence and tits"

It didn't work

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It was the dragons that made it. That plus the tits.
