a real cineaste would've watched it by now but you already said that Buñuel doesn't speak to you (you deaf philistine)......but it's really worth it...it's a black comedy of sorts..a good blend of surrealistic absurdity and gritty realism....a nice twist on the idea that hell is other people...a critique on bourgeousie (who'd behave worse than the lower classes when there's no more food, water and comfort)...shot beautifully esp considering that 80% of the film scenes happen in one room...and Buñuel's really good...

Finally you develop some taste and not only promote Disney crap, another surprise
It's a great film and he was a great director...

Someday I will watch it...I promise, but I have to be in the mood...

yes some preparation and the right mood is necessary. I wanted to watch 'Funny Games', but still not found the right mood for it

I watched now the first season of Dexter, like it and for TV really good, on the TV-serial scale: 8/9 (10 is anyway impossible in serials )

Yeah for funny games you really need to be in the mood...not a bad movie after all

Yeah, Dexter Rocks! Now you just have to watch Mad Men and Breaking Bad (both more serious and better than Dexter), and you can say you watched the best actual shows on TV!

Dexterous...Mad Max Men....ppfftt...yawns....I don't watch a lot of tv but my favourite is the Disney Channel Crap e.g. Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverley Place etc....incomparable...

I think you forgot the TeleTubbies

aren't they a favourite of yours, next to Wally and Termite ...I watched some Avatar The Last Air Bender tv episodes...definitely better than the film...

The Expendables
(just watch in in the "Premier show" in my local cinema with my gf yesterday night)

Stun: 9.5/10
Storyline: 5/10
Effect: 9.9/10
Cinematography: 9/10
Overall: 7/10
Jokes: 8.8/10


Among the best liner that I remember:
Mr Church (Bruce Willis) asks, "What’s his fuckin’ problem?" (referring to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for his brief appearance)
Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) answers: "He wants to be President."
