Agreed. I suppose Mon Oncle is the better film but I love the overall feel of the more laid back, almost sleepy Vacances. It's a film I'd quite happily live in.

Speaking of France, last night watched ...

French Connection II

Some nice scenes showing the seediness of Marseille but overall this is one of those totally unnecessary sequels.

@demonyo

yes vacances is delicious, and hilarious, but the social satire in mon oncle is what takes it to another level i think.

haven't seen FC2. thanks for the warning.

and did you or did you not finish the wire??

GravitySlips · 02.19.2013, 12:06 PM

Network

Really good film - that's the second Sidney Lumet I've seen, with Dog Day Afternoon being the other. I've enjoyed both, gonna seek out some more! The acting in Network is amazing all round.

"If you don;t have my money to me TONIGHT!!!" I love how he says this in Superfly.

I'm still only on Season 3 of the Wire. I'm slowly trying to work my way through all of them but I get stuff sent randomly from a list so it can take ages.

And agree about Mon Oncle. Vacances is less ambitious but because of that it's a perfect feet up Sunday afternoon film. I could happily kill two hours watching either, though.

You mean because of Treme? Yeah, that got some getting used to.

Watched last night:

Summer of Sam

On paper it should be impossible to fuck this movie up but Spike Lee was totally the wrong person to make it.

Boys In Company C

I'm amazed Quentin Tarantino hasn't tried to remake this.

demonrail666 · 02.22.2013, 01:47 PM

Tue Grit (2010)

One of the better recent Westerns. It's hard to really call this a remake as it's really just another adaptation of the same novel.

Rob Instigator · 02.22.2013, 02:08 PM

The cable guy is not coming to our new place until tomorrow so me and the wifey caught this on the TV last night.

5/10 had some very cool, crazy parts, and some odd bits, but it was better than anything else on the boob tube...

!@#$%! · 02.22.2013, 02:24 PM

Cheeto-- check out redbox and see if they carry something interesting in your area. You can book online and pick up at your convenience. Great for movie emergencies.

Rob Instigator · 02.22.2013, 02:32 PM

I am gonna grab SKYFALL from the Redbox for this weekend.

Rob Instigator · 02.22.2013, 02:42 PM

I thought it was a cool flick, for a TV broadcast. It was made from a play which usually means decent dialogue.

agreed also on repo man-- it was once presented to me in the 90s as some sort of awesome thing by one of those cultist fans, and while i think i liked the sountrack i thought the story as a whole was b-movie shit-- so much so that i only barely recall it-- i just remember it was full of 80s themes like vietnam vets and aliens and nuclear stuff and shit like that. it has probably aged horribly.

Yeah, I've never really been into Repo Man, either. I thought it was just me.
