As the title says, what is your favorite stories you have ever read/seen/played? This can be from a book, a movie, a video game or from any other source of storytelling! It is very hard to just pick one, i know, so post and talk about the ones you like the most if you have a hard time picking one. - My favorite must be from the game "The Last of Us", that game hit me right in the feels not even 15 minutes into the game, i was shocked, i was blown away by it, and in my honest opinion, it is storytelling on a very very high level, i got to bond with these characters, the story and the setting made me feel something i really haven't felt before!

Anyone here big on horse racing? I've been to a lot of race meets including some of the big ones including the Ebor, Derby and Aintree. Looking forward to Cheltenham starting tomorrow and hopefully get some winners. Each day at Cheltenham I bet the same... a placepot, lucky 15 and a daft single bet on a horse with odds of 20/1 or over. Personally i'm expecting McCoy to do pretty well here. Jezki looks his best bet at getting a winner. The big race tomorrow is the Stan James Champion Hurdle. Hurricane Fly is racing in this aswell as Jezki and at the minute william hill is paying 9/1. Surely this horse can't be overlooked. In my opinion one of the best hurdlers of…

Last night I went to see On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter, a documentary on motorcycle racing. A little history; the original On Any Sunday was produced in 1971 by filmmaker Bruce Brown who's most famous film up to that point was Endless Summer (1964) a surfing documentary. The original On Any Sunday is widely regarded by motorcyclists as the best motorcycle move of all time. It stars Steve McQueen, Malcolm Smith and Mert Lawill and highlights several different disciplines of moto racing both pro and amateur and has a sort of fun, innocence throughout the film. It's just a feel good movie that wants you want to get out and ride. Some of it is corny but that is its charm. …

Ah Metallica, my favorite band ever. I remember going to see them in Indianapolis in 1993 when the black album was released. Without a doubt the very best concert I have been to, these guys are amazing. Now I know many do not like them, even if they are fans of this tye of music, alot of that stems from the Napster thing way back. I think Metallica was right in leading the effort with that to make sure artists get paid for their work and not have it stolen. I also heard the other day that they also obtained all the rights to their music, they were under a 30 year contract which finally expired and now they will produce their own stuff under the name Blackened Records.

JustHatched's Ramblings - Inspirational Rock and Roll #2- Genre Mixing and breaking boundries
by RSCnet- 0 replies
- 691 views
I've always found the blending of different music genres entertaining, this time round I will be putting out 2 examples that not only blend 2 types of music, but by doing so breaks some racial barriers. Black people aren't known for being hard rockers and white people aren't known rappers (if you follow stereo types and with the exception of a few). Aerosmith, Run DMC, Anthrax, and Public Enemy put together a couple songs that I feel only did good for the music world and the world. Aerosmith and Run DMC done a remix of Walk This Way while Anthrax and Public Enemy done a song not to popular in the mainstream called Bring The Noise. Check them out and get a feel for wha…

Being my first go at this, I would like everyone to know I love all types of music, from Mozart to Metallica and everything in between. Hard Rock is by far my favorite though. And most who do not care for this type of music are really not opening their minds to it IMO. For several reasons, some of the most rediculous being that it is satanic music to the more likely one which is they can't understand the singer. Others say it's all screaming and nothing else. My goal with a series of blogs is to squash some misbelief about this type of music by choosing songs that I think have an inspirational message, or have a personal meaning to me. Most will be from the '80's to pre…

I'm probably not the biggest music fan around, I don't walk around with earphones stuck in my ear (though I think I have an iPod somewhere on my desk), I listen to pretty much anything (unless its really bad or too hardcore), but thought I'd start a topic for us to share some of the local stuff. USA and UK members probably wont have much to offer as their music is known worldwide, but we might get a pleasant surprise. So here it is, try to include one traditional folk song and one of your favourite (or most known) local band. I'll start. These guys (Ansambel bratov Avsenik or Avsenik brothers band) are still our best selling authors of all time, with more than …

195Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
What I Watched This Week #154 (Dec 9-15) The Hound of the Baskervilles dir. Terence Fisher/1959/1h27m The winning Hammer trio of director Terence Fisher and actors Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, who had previous success with Dracula and The Mummy, team up once again for this adaptation of the most famous, and spookiest, Sherlock Holmes story, The Hound of the Baskervilles. Cushing plays Holmes with Lee as Sir Henry Baskerville, under threat from a family curse. Cushing makes for a wonderful Holmes, fitting into the role perfectly, and he has a capable Watson played by Andre Morell, but I did find Lee's role lacking in screen time, though he makes the most of what he gets. I think I would have much preferred to see him play Moriarty in a different story as The Hound of the Baskervilles isn't one of my favourites. What this film does well is atmosphere, particularly in the more supernatural scenes, with some wonderfully otherworldly lighting that feels like a precursor to the Italian giallo horror films of the 70s. 7/10 Memoir of a Snail dir. Adam Elliot/2024/1h34m This Australian stop-motion animation sees Grace (Sarah Snook) tell her sad life story, which starts with her mother dying whilst giving birth to her and her twin brother Gilbert (Kodi Smit-McPhee). When their father dies while they are still young they are sent to separate foster homes. From there Grace grows into a lonely, depressed woman whose only friend is an eccentric old lady called Pinky (Jacki Weaver). Like Elliot's previous feature from 2009, Mary and Max – the story of a pen pal friendship between a lonely, bullied, little Australian girl and a lonely, autistic middle-aged New York man - this is a brutally open and emotionally raw film that still finds beauty in the ugliness of life. This extends to the character design, as these characters all border on the grotesque looking but are still endearing and beautiful in their own way. Going further, this applies to Elliot's own life. After watching his much more autobiographical shorts (see next review) I can see how much of this film is based on experience, and the fact that he's been able to make such a profoundly moving film out of his pain (this also applies to Mary and Max) is deeply touching. As far as feature films go he's two for two in my books and I can't wait to see his next film, even if it takes another 15 years. 10/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Four shorts by Adam Elliot: Human Behavioural Case Studies. Series One. 1996/1m Uncle 1996/6m Cousin 1999/4m Brother 2000/8m These four shorts make up Elliot's filmography prior to the release of his first feature, Mary and Max, and offer up bite-sized samples of his signature style and deeply personal storytelling. That is, with one outlier – his very first film, Human Behavioural Case Studies. Series One. This is a simply animated film, drawn with pencil rather than his usual Claymation stop-motion, where we hear three stories about weird hobbies that some children have. While probably based on reality this lacks the emotional heft that really makes his films hit hard. But this is more than present in his other three shorts that make up a trilogy, Uncle, Cousin, and Brother. These are all autobiographical and relate Elliot's feelings and relationships with each of the named family members, his eccentric, hardware store owning uncle, his cousin with cerebral palsy, and his wild and free older brother. These films are all tinged with sadness and melancholy but there is always humour present, something to make life bearable. If you don't laugh you'll cry. Like I said in the previous review, it's incredible that Elliot has taken so much pain and sadness and transformed that into these works of art. Not as refined as his feature films, these are still very much worth watching and I'll give the whole collection a score of 8.5/10 Mandibles dir. Quentin Dupieux/2020/1h17m Quentin Dupieux is a very unique director who has previously made films about a killer tyre (Rubber), a possessed jacket that wants to be the only jacket in the world (Deerskin), and a man who takes a play, and its audience, hostage because he thinks it's bad (Yannick), so I wasn't that surprised to find that this film is about a couple of idiotic chancers, Manu and Jean-Gab (Gregoire Ludig, David Marsais), who find a giant fly in the boot of their car and see it as a way to make some money. Deadpan Kafkaesque absurdity is the name of the game here, with the two main characters just going with the flow, seeing where their moronic scheme will take them. It's like if Dumb and Dumber was a surreal, European arthouse film. The two leads do a good job of making what could be very unlikeable characters – they're not only stupid, they're also selfish, manipulative, and deceitful – quite charming, and their almost childlike friendship I found to be quite sweet, they even have a special best friends fist bump. I also found it hilarious that at the end, just when we think that they are going to learn a lesson and grow as people, their idiocy is rewarded and reinforced. The more films of his I watch, the more I like the weird world of Quentin Dupieux. 9/10 Women Talking dir. Sarah Polley/2022/1h35m A group of women in an isolated, deeply religious community meet to discuss what they are to do after several of their men are arrested for sexually assaulting them. They decide they have three options, stay and fight for equality in the community, stay and do nothing, or leave. This is a true ensemble piece with many characters, but led by the brilliant trio of Rooney Mara, Jessie Buckley, and Claire Foy each delivering amazing performances. Ben Whishaw is also excellent as August, a kind and gentle man who has recently been let back into the community after previously being excommunicated due to his mother. He is at the meeting to take minutes because of course none of the women were ever taught to read or write. This is a film that is made by the dialogue, with the Oscar winning screenplay really making each discussion totally enthralling as the women struggle to reconcile their faith with the massively traumatic experience they've all been through. 9/10 Seven Chances dir. Buster Keaton/1925/56m This silent comedy stars Buster Keaton as Jimmie Shannon who discovers he's been left seven million dollars in a distant relative's will. The only catch is that he has to be married by seven pm on the evening of his twenty seventh birthday, which happens to be today. This film builds up the comedy over the runtime, starting off with quite subtle slapstick and culminating with a ridiculously over the top chase where he is pursued through the city streets by hundreds of would-be brides. Buster gives a very typical performance of his here, his stony expression exuding a slight air of sadness. While this is very well crafted I do find it to be less imaginative than his best films like Sherlock Jr. or The General. The chase scene is fun but there are no real big set pieces that stand out. But this is still a funny and charming film and well worth watching. 7/10 Toy Story 2 dir. John Lasseter/1999/1h32m Pixar's third film started out as a direct to video project, but when they exceeded all expectations when it came to quality and story it was pushed to full release. Woody (Tom Hanks) is kidnapped by toy store owner Al (Wayne Knight) who's going to sell him to a museum in Tokyo because it turns out he's a rare collectable piece of merchandise from an old TV show. This is how we meet the rest of the Woody's Roundup gang, exuberant cowgirl Jessie (Joan Cusack) and Stinky Pete the Prospector (Kelsey Grammer). This is one of those rare sequels that is almost, if not as good as the original. Woody having to face the prospect of a life where Andy grows up and doesn't need him anymore is really well handled, with the song where Jessie recounts her own owner abandoning her being genuinely heart-breaking. This is also just as funny as the original, with most of that coming from Buzz (Tim Allen), leading a rescue party out looking for Woody. There's also a marked improvement in the animation from the first film here, especially with the human characters who are no longer nightmare inducing. The textures of the fabrics and plastics that make up the toys also look much more detailed. 9.5/10 Wasp dir. Andrea Arnold/2003/26m (no trailer for this) This Oscar winning short film from Andrea Arnold stars Natalie Press as Zoe, a single mother to four young children living in poverty on a council estate. She is asked out to the pub by an old flame Dave (Danny Dyer) but can't get a babysitter, so she makes her kids wait outside for her. This is an honest and non-judgemental look at what it's like for the poorest people in this country. Zoe, as a character is someone who you sympathise with, pity, are outraged by and can feel disgusted by how she treats her children. Her love for them is never called into question, it's a case of a desperate person not making the best decisions. Press gives an amazing performance that feels real and lived in. I'm also amazed that Dyer gave a good performance as I've hated him in everything else I've seen him in. Bleak and raw, there's still a spirit of hope here, small as it may be. 10/10- 2

Let The Sunshine In (2017) dir Claire Denis Juliette Binoche plays Parisian artist Isabelle, looking for her ideal man after a divorce. That makes it sound like a romantic comedy, but it isn't. There's no real romance and although not to be taken too seriously it's not exactly full of jokes either. Isabelle basically tries out various lovers who all fail to live up to expectation on some level; such as the wealthy married man who only calls when it suits him or the younger man who decides he just wants to be friends. Interwoven between these scenes we learn a bit more about who Isabelle is, what she does for a job, meet a few of her friends etc. Binoche is very good, as always, most of the rest of the cast are OK. I did start to get a little bored after about halfway through. There was very little chemistry between the actors, which I guess was deliberate since she was never finding the right man. But right at the end it did step up. The very final scene is great. Isabelle goes to see a psychic, played by Gerard Depadieu. There follows a dialogue as they discuss her various lovers, with him kind of reviewing them. It's almost like she was seeing a therapist, until he brought out a “magic” pendulum type of thing and started making predictions of which ones might turn out to be the right man for her. The film actually ends at this scene plays out with the credits beginning whilst their conversation continues. I'm not sure if the intention of this was to make you watch the credits or maybe it was saying “you can stop watching now, there's nothing important left to see”. But whatever, it was an original bit of film making for me. 6 / 10- 2
