    Quite right. Deplorable behaviour from Thor.

  2. I watched a western called SLOW WEST which was short, quirky and pretty decent. Worth a watch, at least. Also ROADHOUSE for the first time ever. I was pleasantly surprised at how 80s it was: a monster truck, mullets, homo-eroticism, no real logic in the scripting, and Swayze (who i was surprised to find i thought was very convincing ripping someone's throat out).

    If someone has some knowledge about the Flash Gordon serials please pm me. I'm quite confused about the music (not original)

    listen to more classical music!
  10. Back when i was younger i actually hated action films and anything with mullets, even though i was about 11 they just annoyed me. i loved my war films and my westerns. So I've gone back to watching tons of 80s films i missed the first time of Chuck Norris, Burt Reynolds, Charles Bronson, Brian Bosworth, Patrick Swayze, etc... they may often not be the best but they do have stuff i enjoy: real stunts, actual real explosions, actual blood squibs, explosive squibs in walls and such. INVASION USA has about 5 tanks and a hundred extras at one stage and i just kept thinking "that would all be cgi today".

    I'll pretty much watch any CANON/GOLAN-GLOBUS Production just because. smile

    I had such great taste in films as a kid, i don't know what happened to me! smile

    Yah, i remember loving the old RKO stuff as a kid as we only had 3 channels and they always seemed to be on TV. That and the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes films and George Formby films, The 3 Stooges and Abbott and Costello, and the Bing Crosby/Bob Hope Road to... films. Love 'em all.

    There's a group of filmmakers I got together with to watch it once. I wish I'd recorded the audio, it would have made a great audio commentary. (Eg in the kissing scene, the lighting guy cried out 'but how can the moon be behind BOTH of them?!')

    Now i have to rewatch it! smile

    I just watched NEXT OF KIN in which Swayze carelessly loses all his relatives but it's okay, because he has his wife and baby at the end. NEESON is pretty great in that one.

    Hmmm.
    Catching up on Game Of Thrones, season 5. Sadly the poorest and laziest written season so far, which wouldn't be a major problem if the already relentlessly (and to be honest rather ridiculously) dark, dismal and gloomy plotlines weren't exacerbated by [spoiler]the audience having to watch a little girl being burned alive.[/spoiler]

    This is the point I have to ask myself what I am actually taking away from this.
    Is it clever? Not really.
    Is it entertaining! God no. This is about as much fun as a root canal.

    When I watch TV or a fim I need to have an emotional or cognitive investment. I need to care, to be intellectually challenged or at the very least entertained. I have, surprisingly, given the absolutely brilliant production of tge excellent early seasons, not been any of these in this season.
    Moreover, I am angrily annoyed how carelessly and uninspiredly the writers fob off casual, violent horror (without goal, meaning or redemption) as entertainment.

    So I'll be looking for more poignant material elsewhere (I'm sure there's plenty).
    And further Game Of Thrones I'll leave this to the Martin fanboys who confuse murder, rape and torture porn with 'grim and gritty'.

  23. I neither got past the first book nor the first season. It just never triggered my interest. Martijn, what about the music in that 5th season? In contrast to many others here I rather liked the score Djawadi did for the show. As far as I know, no score CD has been released for the 5th season. Was any new music recorded anyway or did they just track in existing material?

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    I think actually you'll find many here *like* Djawadi's work on Game Of Thrones (I certainly think it's his most distinctive work). The music for season 5 is, not unexpectedly, for a large part variations on existing themes, but with some interesting, dark slants. I look very much forward to hearing the album representation!

  25. Oh? Then I was under a false impression. All the better. And it seems there will be a release just a few days ahead.

    I'm totally addicted to GAME OF THRONES, like most everyone else on the face of the planet, so I can't wait for the next season.
    I am extremely serious.

    I've watched all of it but don't really understand who anyone is or why they're doing what they're doing. I positively despise the cheap crap music but otherwise find it passes the time.

    I've never had a problem with any of the murder, rape and torture porn. For me, it gives the show a vital sense of realism, otherwise it would just be the usual fantasy fluff that I usually despise. Tolkien? Pah! You can keep your Tolkien. This show has balls (often literally) and I LOVE that.*

    Realism?

    OK, let's talk realism.
    Burning children to death is realism in today's world, true.
    But that doesn't mean I'm opening any of ISIS' or any Mexican drug kartel's torture and horror show films for entertainment purposes, so I sure as fuck don't enjoy any hack writer pushing my face in it pretending his make-belief shit is "realism". There's more than enough "realism" in fucking reality, man.

    I can't begin to tell you the tremendous turn-off that scene was for me (although you probably may already have an inkling). And don't get me wrong: I'm not getting on any kind of "please think of the children" high horse. I'm in no way adverse to any kind of deeply disturbing scene. As long as it has a clear meaning and function in the narrative. I just DESPISE the cynicism with which these hack writers use a scene as inherently horrific and unsettling as a throwaway bit. Narratively and dramatically it should MEAN something. Throw it in as randomly and callously like this, and it's torture porn. Simple as that.
    I know there's an audience out there for random, senseless violence (the Hostel or Saw series bear witness to that).
    I'm not part of that audience.

    I see where you're coming from, I too hate the Saw films. But I'm okay with it in Game of Thrones, mostly because it's no way near as bad and secondly, it's a just a great show. The plot, the characters and the production keeps me glued. The violence is a bonus (for me).

    That said, I haven't seen season 5 yet!
