How the hell have ya not seen Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle?

[Sheer Magnetism]

I love those films but that's what you got from that? Not Chungking Express, In the Mood For Love or 2046?

Nah see my other post. I doubt LMM has seen any of those films.

[Lastrador]

I have sent my next pick to Haz, as I won’t be around later on for making it. So PM him please when it’s my turn.

i didn't have me reading glasses handy when they were on

[Lawnmowerman]

Under the Skin (2014) - Sci-Fi

Just the single most profound movie watching experience I’ve ever had. There are movies I adore that have made me feel lots of things. extreme joy. profound admiration. being in awe at the beauty in screen. this movie made me experience the feelings

yeah mate seeing her nude i felt the same

[Lawnmowerman]

[Hazell]

Yep, looks like you're up.

[Lawnmowerman]

[Hazell]

I'll give Max a little time. I have Las's pick so will make that if Max doesn't pick.

[Lawnmowerman]

is max in canada?? it's like 3 in the morning over there

[Max_powers]

The Wailing is a great pick by LMM. One of the scariest movies I have ever seen.

[Hazell]

I've got Las's pick, give me a min.

[Hazell]

Great picks Max, I wanted both of them

[Crosby Nick]

Lastrador wins Hazell’s vote with The VVitch.

[red mongoose]

[Hazell]

Yep

[red mongoose]

Yep

Please don't pick the one I want this time.

[Betty Blue]

Sorry, travelling today. Will pick in a min

I couldn't get into Shoplifters, think I tapped out after about an hour or so, just wasn't grabbing me at all and I couldn't see what the fuss was all about.

[Lawnmowerman]

Actually went to see that dune in the pictures but was told they no longer take cash. we walked out, forget about it. no wonder they're going out of business everywhere

Hope the taxman knows about that.

You missed all the best parts. It starts off slow and shows the family dynamics etc. then the payoff in the third act is really worth it. I was crying like baby when I watched it on a flight.

[Lawnmowerman]

never seen it. sounds like a jason statham movie

Yeah, I was a fucking mess.

[tubby]

I'll give it a re-watch for voting.

Ha, I pretty much only go to the cinema to see these types of big cinematic films these days. I don't think I'd ever recommend watching Dune on anything smaller than a proper huge TV. It probably loses half of it's allure on a titchy laptop.

[Crosby Nick]

Is Lobo still missing? I’ve PM’d Samie.

Are we ok to hedge our bets with categories at this point and then firm up down the line?

One genre pick only in these film drafts. That's what we did in all the others anyway.

[red mongoose]

Nice one, Fatty. "The Raid" is bonkers.

[tubby]

Thanks, bud.  Always awesome when a movie just comes out of nowhere and spreads through word of mouth like this one did.

[Samie]

The sequel is even  better. 

[tubby]

It's not, but it's still a fun ride.

[Samie]

It is also you'd get tired after climbing 2 floors at most Fatso.

I never eat upstairs at McDonald's.

[Lawnmowerman]

[dis_1]

sorry, was in the middle of parents evening - all done now

[Hazell]

Were your parents happy with your teachers' comments?

[Betty Blue]

Not sure Logan counts as a Blockbuster. Would've picked it there myself otherwise. Box Office Mojo and imdb has it at 97m budget. It's only wiki that oddly has it as 97-127m.

[Lawnmowerman]

is that production budget? that wiki figure probably includes promotion budget aswell?
