alicebrallice 134 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I used to think wine tasted/smelled like acetone but I've grown to love it. I prefer vodka when I'm out partying though, and the only time I drink beer is when I'm watching football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,359 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Good ale/beer is terrific. Fortunately, where I live now there are plenty of local (and quite good) breweries. So there is always something to choose from. Wheat beer I like quite a bit. And stout. Not a fan of lager, except maybe for bock.Vodka seem to be more prominent in my life during my teenage years. There is something adolescent about it.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,359 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 TitusOne of those movies that hypnotises me completely whenever I watch it. It's so beautifully shot and acted. The production design is quite fascinating and that it even works on screen amazes me to no end. As brutal as the story is, the film contains very little actual violence and not many people seem to be aware of it. Also a massive fan of Elliot Goldenthal's score. I'm looking forward to hearing the extended suite from the film live later this month.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorean90 42 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I've liked what I've heard of both Sherlock Holmes scores, but I still haven't seen the movies yet. I actually rather like the Inception score as well. It's covering similar ground to his Batman scores, but I think it's better suited to the material in this case, and the combination of atmospherics and material with--IMO--better emotional content and excitement makes it a winner for me.

I'm looking forward to hearing the extended suite from the film live later this month.Titus is generally considered to be Shakespeare's worst play but perhaps that's the reason why for me Titus is the best Shakespeare film (and because of visualist Julie Taymor, of course). Her latest film is again a Shakespeare adaptation (The Tempest) but I haven't seen it yet. I'm waiting for the DVD or Blu-ray. I'm also a fan of Taymor's Frida and Across The Universe. She's probably my favorite female director.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,407 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Before cancelling my Netflix account I watched a B-sci-fi movie called Pandorum starring Dennis Quad. It was rubbish, frequently audibly indecipherable, but pretty watchable regardless. The pitch was actually a good one (Noah's Ark mission goes drastically wrong) and the sets were very Event Horizon, but unfortunately the execution was very Resi Evil. 2/5.

Quintus 5,407 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 As I recall it, Favreau very nearly didn't direct it. It was touch-and-go at the time. Maybe he should have gone with his instincts and walked, but then again he obviously felt very 'close' to the franchise, wanting to stay on board and make it work - the first was a huge success for him after all. I haven't seen IM2 yet, but I'd be inclined to give its director a break even if it's a bit pap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
