Between all the incest, alcoholism and poverty they're basically Europe's rednecks.

I take that as a compliment :) It's as good an explanation as any for why I liked the South for as long as I can remember. And we're not THAT inbred. I think the British definitely take the crown on that one, as far as Europe is concerned. The flag was considered a symbol of rebellion often used by alternative subcultures in the 80s as far as I know. I highly reccomend the movie. Probably not as touching for people who aren't familiar with Yugoslav culture, music, humour, and Bata Živojinović.
 
I finally watched Fury Road

I'm sold.

Such a sucker I am, man. The trailer was what gave me the wrong impression, as trailers often do. I was very sceptical to the movie, and delayed a long time to watch it.
The movie itself didn't even have to lure me in, once I started to watch, I was captivated right away.. right away...

About European "rednecks", it reminds me of one of my favorite movies of all, which is by coincidence a Norwegian movie. Now, I am NOT nationalist-masturbating here, at all, most Norwegian movies try so hard, and fail just as hard, so there is only a few that I kinda-like, and even fewer I really like (Some generally recommended Norsk movies are King of Devil's Island, Next Door, and Ofelas/Pathfinder)
My favorite Norwegie movie however is "Burned Negro" or "Scorched Negro", I never quite find out what the working English title is for this movie, and I have complete understanding of the off-putting-ness of the sound of it, but trust me - no negroes are burned in this movie, whatsoever. Have in mind - without a history of slavery, the word "negro" is not as racially loaded in Norwegian as it is in English (although, English is helping to make it more sensitive).

The negro in question is a young lad with a bit of an identity crisis, being an obvious adoptee but with a mysterious origin, he speaks fluent Norwegian, obviously, and on top of that identifies as a Saami. Things begin to unfold when his older (unbiological) brother blows their house up (masturbation mishap), and they must seek out the drunkard father and his beautiful daughter Anna, who live miles away, but are their closest neighbors, apparently, go Norway!
Ante, the negro, Peder, his brother, and "Norwegian" an authentic Saami guy - all set their sights on Anna.

For its absurdity, it is very visually pleasing, soundtrack by Ulver, for those who like that (I'm a bit ambivalent about them)
Also, for all its madness, it does paint a fairly realistic... parody.. of Norwegian hillbillies

There is such a thing as Norwegian hillbillies? :confused:

And I still can't help but laugh my ass off when I see people's actual name being Peder.

When you say "drunkard father" you mean that it's their father as well as Anna's?

Scandinavia is full of rednecks.

Nono, just Anna's father.
And Scandinavia may be well known for the high living standards and such, but also remember Norway has a population density of 12 people per square kilometre.
We have tons of hillbillies :D

The "råner" category for example, consist of the youth of the hillbillylands, they tend to "roam" around their towns in various cars, there's a certain tradition to what car and how, typically 90s models, maybe with some under-age-ish chick in the back seat, techno thumping really loud from the stereo, and then just drive eternal circles around the village

Oh, and cars - one more advertisement for Norwegian cinema - Flåklypa Grand Prix/Pinchcliffe Grand Prix (Eng.) from 1975, animated racing film, and mentioned as inspiration for certain race-scenes in Star Wars franchise.
Since there are no decent trailers, a music video featuring clips and musical samples from the film serves just as well:

So far I've watched THX-1138, Barry Lyndon and Paths of Glory, with Dopa. Of course we couldn't actually physically watch them together us being across the pond from each other, but we talked by microphone and more or less synchronized our viewings. Dopa has good taste, three very good movies. Barry Lyndon and Paths of Glory moreso than THX though, I would say. My mind was focused more on making jokes than the movie anyway though, because this was the dread lucas special edition. Anyway this is fun, and I just realized if anyone else wanted in we have the means. Though maybe dopa will want to keep it just between us. <3

Everybody knows the future officially started in the YEAR 2000

It's not our fault that the future turned out to be kinda lame.
We now of course have to anticipate the distant future - in the YEAR 3000
 
Runaway Train (U.S. 1985)
One of those prison escape thrillers I consider to be much better than highly overrated The Shawshank Redemption. Jon Voight rocks really hard as a psychopathic convict!
 
By the way, I think it's time for a Lord of the Rings reboot.
PJ's busy squeezing every bit of semen out of the franchise, and it's lost its luster by now - but think about it

before this triology, all we had was that weird animation, people fell in love with being able to see the story in live action - so much so, real critical observation mostly went out the window.
Now, let's re-see it:
Aragorn is effeminate and nasal
Gandalf is .. okay, he is fine!
The hobbits are lame as hell
The LOL Comedic Reief dwarf
The predictable Jurassic-Park-Syndrome approach on almost everything non human, such as the nazgul and even the orcs making Velociraptor-noises (not that we know what noises they made, but the orcs keep making Jurassic-Parky noises, including weird bird-like "wrlop-wop-wop-wop!")

So many of the scenes are so Peter Jacksony over the dumb top, annoying over-expositional slow motions, I could go on -

Re film!
Re cast!
Most importantly, Retire Peter Jackson, good bye! Bring in Steven Spielberg or something, cus why not? He did Indiana Jones and, well, Jurassic Park, or whoever, what's the big deal with Peter Jackson anyway? Even his cameos in the movie are fucking annoying - and exemplify the entire attitude of the movies! *arrow* "GNAAARL :U" <---the movie.

Who looked at "Meet the Feebles" and thought "THAT is the man we want to do Lord of the Rings! CALL HIM!"

Back to the Future day n that. Re-watched em all. Part 3 is still just as shit...

Thoughts?

Back to the Future 3 is the worst in the series. It's still better than most sequels released today though. Speaking of which I took pictures of the DeLorean at the latest comicon...
 
Re-watched Django Unchained last night... Forgot the movie was 3 hours long and ended up going to bead at 5 am....
 
Anyone seen Spectre yet? I'm planning on watching it with some friends this Thursday.

I'm probably gonna watch some of the Sean Connery films tomorrow, I never did get around to watching them.
 
Well, as a British person it's very much like Doctor Who in that it's a cultural thing. Pretty much everyone knows and likes Bond. It's a staple of British pop-culture.

If I had to make a guess as to what the real reason is, I'd say it appeals to the male fantasy: Being a suave, charming gentleman that's also a top secret spy stopping a super-villain whilst using fun gadgets, fast cars and getting the girl all in one.

I can see why people would be turned off by it though.
