Movie/film thread: resurrected

Watched the first half of Full Metal Jacket with my darling wife last night.  If we have time tonight, she finally gets to find out where "Me love you long time" comes from.

I just watched Rango...am going to make gf watch several westerns, especially the ones with mr. Eastwood and then that movie...it was fun, despite the luke-warm reception it got from critics.

They just posted the first three seasons of Big Bang Theory on the school's intranet. Have to download it per episode. Speed per episode is.....wait, let me check...

20 seconds for Season 1 Episode 1.

Last week, walking walking by one of the Chinese teacher's classrooms, I saw she was showing this. On my QQ, I've seen a couple of students mention in their status message that they are TBBT fans.

I guess it's the new Friends.

Off to watch S1E1.

Four lions.  hilarious especially if you can appreciate british humour.

Oh yeah four lions was a riot.I also enjoyed all those Pakistani in the UK ones,but I've forgotten what they were called. There was one called "My Son the Fanatic" or something.

I just watched "Four Lions"...it was hilarious...especially when Omar curses in Urdu or whatever language it is...

four lions was kinda funny. Apparently there's a sequel to East is East coming out too, if you're into the post colonial kinda comedies.


Anyway, the reason I decided to take time out of my busy lunch hour, is to say just how bloody awesome Master Chef is. I love it, and it's really nice to see such awesome looking food after eating rice constantly for months. I wish they'd do a Master Chef China

Hey James, would scorpions be on the menu? 

nonononono

Ah East is East I love that! How about "Goodness Gracious Me" James ?

I believe it is actually pronounced "Jam-es" as in "Hey Jam-es, bring me the blandest thing on the menu!!"

For all you VPN ppl...

What's the Blandest thing you've got on the menu,Ja-mes?"
 

Just finished "Treme".  Set in New Orleans, LA right after Katrina.  Takes awhile to warm up, but the last two episodes were great.  The depiction of the "Indian" culture during Mardi Gras and St. Joseph's Day was truly enlighening and inspired.

Have recently seen two movies which I really recommend. "Snowtown" is an Australian movie about John Bunting, Australia's most notorious serial killer. As described by one of the movie critics, it is "an absolutely mesmerising, uncompromising crime movie masterpiece"

The other movie was "Oranges and Sunshine" by the producer of "The king's Speech" was also a powerful real life story. It is an extraordinary TRUE story of the child migrants, one of the most significant social scandals of our time. Children were taken from England and sent to Australia. Some of you may have read the book "Empty Cradles" by Margaret Humphrey.

I see about three new movies a week, but I am rarely touched by any of them. These two are really worth seeing, particularly by the Aussies and Brits out there.

written it down,Granny. There was a similar weird true incident here in Israel in the 1950's where Yemenite children were purportedly stolen away from their parents and given to white Ashkenazi couples who were childless. There have been countless attempts to find out if this really happened or not, but nobody seems to know.Reminds me a bit of Rabbit-Proof Fence.
