What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Matt]

We studied Stagecoach. Because if nothing else, the final action sequence pretty much invented action editing in the US.

The only other Western we even looked at was Once Upon a Time in the West.

That's awesome. Seriously, that action sequence would have felt right at home in a modern day film. It reminded me of final sequence in THE ROAD WARRIOR in many ways.

Stagecoach was the first instance of a object to object jump live on film. Anywhere.

They had to do it one take, because the stunt man that was intended to do it died the week before.

EVIL DEAD remake- I can't remember the last time I saw so much gore thrown around on the screen. Wow. I didn't think it was all that great but, then again, I'm not enamored with the originals either.

21 JUMP STREET- I still love this. I was pretty excited to see the set video yesterday as proof that, yes, the sequel is happening.

[Captain Russ]

I didn't hate it, Matt, although there was an awful lot to dislike. The story was very messy and the same problems which marred the first one weren't addressed, like J.J.'s reliance on spectacle and a really generic villain (sorry, Cumberfans) to justify all the zipping around.

Attempting to reinvent the series is fine; I'd just like it to retain some vestige of the Star Trek 'feel' apart from form-fitting uniforms and transporters.

Reruns are what you want then.

The World's End

Weakest of the 3 movies, but still is a really damn fine one. The more I think about it, the more I liked it. What a fantastic bunch of actors. And Brosnan!

Just watched this last night. What an odd movie. Tried to be many things. I know I missed a ton of refernces. I liked it?

[Ben Thomas]

I think it's a grower. I probably just about prefer it to Hot Fuzz if only cos it's damn funny, all the way through and a couple of the fights are near-genius.

[Captain Russ]

I loved it in the theatre. Gonna drop paper on the trilogy since my Shaun DVD now skips and I'd also like to see Bilbo get his shit slapped again.

[Martin]

Overall is a fucking solid trilogy. Shaun is the masterpiece, but still, wow.

And I really liked how Gary is a fucking dick, but at the end, he's still realistically growing up while still being himself.

The Postman. I haven't seen this since the VHS days. So it was glorious in HD on the big screen.

Lesley was hooked and this movie totally still works for me. I like the book much better (only for the fact they go more in depth about Nathan Holn and Cyclops) but this is still an entertaining flick. Plus, Tom Petty.

[Martin]

It bombed, but it wasn't bad. Not sure it was great, but I remember liking it.

[PHEDG]

Saw 12 Years A Slave last weekend. Was damn good. Not too preachy. Great cinematography, I predict noms for picture, directing, acting, supporting, cinematography, writing. Fassbender most definitely.

You're talking about the Costner movie, right?

It's fucking AWFUL. I mean... I love Will Patton in it and I've somehow ended up watching it maybe four times in total, but as entertaining as it is, it's still dreadful.

I love The Postman. Flaws and all.
