What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[IggytheBorg]

All this discussion of 3D had me wondering: why hasn't there been a 3D porn revolution? One can now view 3D in the privacy of one's home (although I confess I haven't had the pleasure and can't assess its quality). And EVRY advance in technology eventually gets turned toward porn. So why hasn't this one? It'd seem to be the next logical step, right before fembots.

It kind of is happening, but bear in mind 1) not many people have the access to decent 3D tech at home and 2) the porn industry's on it ass thanks to the internet, so there isn't a whole lot of investment compared to 15-20 years ago.

[Matt]

Good question. Its not on Lovefilm (as The Ref or Hostile Hostages), which is my goto streaming service. I'll have a dig around whilst christmas shopping and see if I can pick up the DVD cheap. It was a DTV title over here, so its pretty obscure these days, I think.

If worse comes to worse, the entire film is on YouTube.

There has been 3D porn and it's terrible.

Imagine the cheapest cut-throat techniques (90% is post convert) on the worst lit people.

Also porn starlet butt acne in 3d? BLAAARRGGGHHH

THe HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY

I liked it. It needs an edit in the first two hours to get things moving, but it's not a crisis. Once they get past Rivendell, the film flies on all cylinders and is grand entertainment.

I saw it in Imax 3d at normal framerate. This was a great way to see it and I have no complaints. I may go see it again at HFR to compare, but it's not vital. The effects are fantastic and the 3d is very solid.

We had the long preview for STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS before the show started. It went over like gangbusters. Can't wait.

I'm on it, Matthias. Saw something horrible tonight that shook me up, so I need a good seasonal romp (don't worry, I like my Christmas films dark). Verdict tomorrow.

Also, saw Sightseers tonight, Ben Wheatley's new joint. It's not as 'kick you in the gut' fresh as Kill List, but it's incredibly funny whilst being horribly violent. The man's got on interesting voice for sure. Alice Lowe and Steve Oram (who both wrote and star) are truly wonderful. Could well sneak on to my favourite of the year list - certainly one of the funnier films I've seen.

Neat.

The Ref

Although all the principles are great, the two most important names involved in this are Richard LaGravanese and Ted Demme. The way the dynamics play out is brilliant, especially once all the house guests have arrived - by that time the threat is established, the basic relationship between the 3 leads is established and into that they throw the social etiquette of frosty relatives visiting. The writing is sharp throughout, but in that final third there are some glorious zingers - Lloyd standing up to his mother is choice, but I personally loved the ruse of Gus being their marriage counselor:

Rose: Wong? You're name is Wong?
Gus: Yeah, well my mother was Irish.
Rose: And your father?
Gus: Wasn't.

Thoroughly entertaining. I can see why this is a Christmas comfort for you and the wife, Matt. It's shocking that I've never seen this played on British TV, especially since Spacey became successful and it's a sin that this never even saw the inside of a cinema over here.

Ted.
Not bad but not great. The Flash Gordon stuff was pretty funny. This honestly felt like a live action Family Guy-lite movie. Marky Mark was decent and I love it when he does comedy. The fight scene however, had me fucking rolling.

Hackers this isn't. Tim Robbins does an ok job of playing Evil Bill Gates, but this movie was too serious for it's own good. Hackers gets a pass because it's silly and fun throughout, this doesn't b ecause it wants to be something it's not.

I went to see this shit in theater, I kid you not. The movie was pure shit, but the blowjob I got during the said flick wasn't.

SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK.

This was great. Everyone does excellent work delivering on a really solid script. It was particulary good to be engaged in a Robert De Niro performance again.

Jennifer Lawrence is in danger of becoming the biggest actress in Hollywood.

[B_Metal]

I want to have Jennifer Lawrence's babies. Also Deniro engaging is a nice change of pace. Genuinely interested in that flick. How's Cooper in it?

[Matt]

Cooper was great. Best I've seen from him.

Cool. #Mancrushintact
