What is The Last Movie You Watched?

Blockbuster in the UK went bust last week; they are finished. I sometimes wonder if Tarantino's isn't just a sump -he saw all those movies, and he can quote from them, but did he ever understand them?

I hear Tarantino really wants to work with Denzel Washington. You all in or all out?

I get the feeling Tarantino is less interested in making a good movie than in trying to prove how 'cool' he is.

The UK still had Blockbuster? I thought they went belly up years ago.

Wonder if he has to run it by Le Spike first? DZ was interviewed recently saying how much he wants to play bad guys; I was kinda hoping he was going to announce his retirement...

A declining set of stores chasing a declining market -the one they had in my town, in a poor location, closed I think in 2002, it is still an empty unit. They failed because the online facility has knocked the ground from under store rentals; in addition, if you want to buy the dvd and can wait, the top price of a new release at around £15.99 will go down to under £10 in a year, and if you wait long enough it might be £5 or less. HMV is currently offering 25% off most of its DVD's in a desperate attempt to stay in the market. There are real bargains to be had-an independent shop in town is offering two boxes of Fassbinder films which normally retail at £40 each, for £20; but if you spend more than £20 you get a 5% discount voucher -I guess it all depends on whether you want to spend a week watching Fassbinder films...

Really? Denzel is corny corn corn as a hero but I'll always dig Alonzo. Little Spike might get his glasses all fogged up if he defects to Quentin. I'll accept retirement if this is not the case.

Zero Dark Thirty.... too long and predictable. Jessica Chastain is terrific. I agree with the director that portraying waterboarding, torture, special rendition, black sites etc and other dubious practices is NOT endorsing them. Rather more interesting question is did they really help in the pursuit of Osama bin Laden? Many argue that nothing gained by torture is reliable. Another interesting element is the assertion that the director and writer were given access to classified material not available yet to the media or general public.

yes, the outcome was certainly predictable. we all know America found the scumbag and killed him.
The movie gave me an admiration for the dedicated people who hunted him down. Aggressive interrogation is part of getting bad guys. "Bro, I'll break you... it's biology" In the words of Jack Nicholson from A FEW GOOD MEN. "You value the freedom that I provide and then you question the manner in which I provide it"
I also like the fact that it was pro Obama because it depicts the odds of the CIA thinking they found Ben Laden as only 50-50, but he went ahead and sanctioned the mission anyway.
I love happy endings.
