I saw the movie Iron Man on the BIG silver screen yesterday. Was a rockin' good film with awesome special effects. Downey turned in a great performance worthy of an Academy Award nomination.

Another Marvel Comics resurrection.

^ thought sin city was robert rodriguez - guy who did Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico, etc.

Anyway. I just watched Quills



Which I'd seen a while ago and got off a torrent site. Story is basically the marquis de sade, locked up in prison, is deprived of the chance to indulge his various sexual perversions, so lets it all out in the writing of scandalous pornographic novels (some of which make the likes of Bret Easton Ellis look fairly tame). Anyway the ordinary folk who read his books which are smuggled out of prison read them and get horny and fuck. teh stuffy, hypocritical chruch doesn't liek this and does its best to stop de Sade writing. 9/10

Geoffry Rush does a particularly good job.

and Frank Miller.

guess I didn't separate that thought very well. I also don't care much for Tarantino's movies, still don't get what all the fuss was over Pulp Fiction.

^ Frank Miller was the cartoonist - sorry graphic novel illustrator. Doesn't he seem to have slightly facist tendencies. Just thinking about 300, which was also a Frank Miller thing ...

Me neither. Pulp was good when it was first out and I saw it a few times, but now it's just like punk...dead.

The last movie I saw was The Cable Guy. A quiet reminder not to watch too much TV. hehe Carrey's a classic.

Just watched it the other day, still a great movie. "Brazil" is still my all-time favorite. Not a Tarantino flic (it was done by Terry Gillian from Monty Python), but still one of the most intense movies I've ever seen.

I made LLLs watch that, he didn't like that very much. I thought it could be way shorter than what it is.

I like Tarantino's stuff as he does what he likes whereas other directors would think more about the marketing and what will make them the most money.

Robert Rodriguez did many good stuff too, my favourite is True Romance and his room in Four Rooms.

I loved "True Romance" and haven't seen "Four Rooms". Must do.
