Just finished The Hunt. Deeply troubling and upsetting. Mads Mikkelsen must be one of the finest actors in the world right now.

 

[strapped for cash]

It's not remotely scary, good film, vampires in it, but definitely not scary. Maybe you should try it?

Could've done without the CGI cats, though...

It's on my list of several hundred films I'd like to watch, if I ever filnd the time.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Let's hope Ben suggest it as part of his 3, then you might just have to find the time.

I'm watching Le Serpent recorded ages ago on Film4 at the moment......

I don't remember the CGI cats. Which version?

EDIT - remember now. They weren't *that* bad...

The original. (I haven't seen the remake.)

Ika Nord, half-human-half-vampire, is attacked by cats, because animals are particularly good at sniffing out the soon to be undead.

I really like the film, just not that scene.

 

[John Duncan]

Yes, Youtube's how I reminded myself 🙂

I watched it on an iPad originally, maybe they looked more real on that :-D

Probably won't be but it's well worth watching. I'm starting to feel the pressure and responsibility of having to make proposals.

Let me know what Le Serpent's like, from the one line summary I've seen I can see the thematic link.

No pressure! The worst thing that can happen is other members don't enjoy the film; and I may be on shaky ground in that regard.

If I choose snowtown there's no way anyone's enjoying that!

Enjoy's probably an inapt verb, but that doesn't mean a film can't be appreciated.

I agree

Without giving anything away, it was good, it wasn't great.

Well, I watched Survive Style 5+, though I should probably withold commentary until everyone else has seen the film.

Rule number 5! Rule number 5!

So good you referenced it twice!

I'm not in breach, though I'll probably have to watch the film again, or I'll have forgotten most of what I thought.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

You didn't hang about.

I'm keen to know what you thought Strapped, but I will be patient.

Will we all be giving marks out of ten for the films?

 

[BenLaw]

Posting that you've watched it is good, it keeps the enthusiasm going. Just no discussion until everyone's there. Annoyingly, lovefilm despatched Au Hasard Balthazar to me despite having had it as high priority for about a month without it being sent. No matter, I sent my second film back last night, so hopefully SS5 will be despatched tomorrow.

I'd say no to marks out of 10.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

I quite like the idea of marks out of ten. Does that me a little bit sad?

If the film doesn't come next time, let me know, and I'll send my copy to you Ben.

 

[BenLaw]

Ok, thanks BBB. It's my only high priority title now so I should find out tomorrow if they have a copy in circulation!

 

[strapped for cash]

I'd rather not institute a scoring system. I'm not a fan of scores in film reviews, either.

Sight and Sound rather than Empire...

 

[BenLaw]

If the film doesn't come next time, let me know, and I'll send my copy to you Ben.

Film was despatched today, hooray! Should arrive tomorrow. I'm away next week so not sure when I'll get a chance to watch it but will be well within the month.

Mmmmmm....Thursday night, Friday, Saturday or Sunday?

Or, take it away with you.

I'll have the same problem soon, will be working away again from next week for 5 - 6 weeks.

 

[BenLaw]

Tomorrow's definitely out. Each of fri, sat and sun is a possibility but they can quickly disappear with a small child. Is this the sort of film Clodagh will want to watch with me?

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Clodagh? Remind me? Child or partner?
