Looking at the AFI and BFI's top 100, I'm a poor excuse for a film geek. That said there are plenty of films (especially on the AFI list) I've no interest in watching, so we'll agree that quality is pretty fucking subjective, thank you very much.
Six films I haven't seen, but would like to.
The Graduate
Doctor Zhivago
Gandhi
Serenity (also Firefly)
Brazil
Fantasia
I'm frequently embarrassed by most things in life, so it's safe to assume there's a degree of discomfort in the above.
tl;dr.
Everything is illuminated. And I'm not even Jewish.
You know what?
I really enjoyed it.
You're out of the club.
Have a look at the Lytro shots of a few Madgod props.

It's like a special tag for those joining us from the mid-west, or possibly Germany.
So now I have to use a special tag for sarcasm? I thought you were all good at this game?
I honesty have no idea who those guys are, but they're dicks. And wrong.
I was not scared once during the entire thing, and I get scared by scary films. There was no tension at all.
After the film the group of people I went to see it had similar views, and we spent time talking about all the cool stuff that *could* have happened, or ideas that *could* have been explored. It felt like it was written for TV and they hadn't got around to writing the end of season wrap-up episodes yet.
I guess that's what happens when a guy who wrote 115 episodes of Lost does your script.
I know there's an existing thread, but I need to vent a little about a number of specific issues with the film. Please be aware spoilers follow.
How can we possibly care what happens to characters who are so incredibly stupid as to get to an alien world and take their helmets off? It's like we're watching science as performed in the world of idiocracy.
SCIENCE! YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!
You discover that after taking off your helmet you have a parasite in your eye? Best thing to do is not tell anyone, let alone your wife, and join in with everyone taking their helmets off again. THAT'S SCIENCE!
As a biologist, you learn in biology science school that when discovering alien life, on an alien world, the best course of actions to pet it. SOMEONE ACED THEIR BIOLOGY SCIENCE SCHOOL EXAMS!
Let's not mention the agressive tentacle alien foetus which you just pulled out of your womb. We'll just leave that there because nothing bad could possibly happen if we do that.
Let's bring the old guy along, they'll never see that one coming.
Zombies. I really have no words.
It's midnight, I'm tired of writing about this fucking thing. There was so much potential here, but it was so disjointed and ridiculous that I can only be disappointed. Hoping for an expanded directors edition won't help explain why the film, like the characters, it's fatally infected with alien stupid.
I was supposed to root for the robot, right? The only character I had any empathy for.
No, you guys were right. Fucking hell.
Given Dorkman and Squiggly's disappointment with Promethius, there's a pretty good chance I'll enjoy it. Because I'm stupid 
That orange guy creeps me the fuck out. At the beginning of the video I thought he was wearing a bodysuit and mask.
Indeed, Zarban's our official outlier. He brings our GPA up.
*Zarban is not indicative of content
Because its sort of lovely, quiet, and I have family in Dorset we can visit on the way through to London.
As an update we're still in the process of selecting hotels, but do have a confirmed reservation in The Strand. We'll be there between the 30th of October and 6th of November, prior to that we'll be kicking around Branscombe, Edinburgh, Cork, Dublin, Venice, Florence, Rome, Nice, and Paris.
Related; Phil Tippett's Mad God project is funded, with over $100,000 pledged and 12 days to go.
I think the 2 finger salute is offensive in most parts of the commonwealth. Certainly is here.
Be warned, Koyaanisqatsi will bore to you tears unless you smoke something prior to viewing.
To make it more authentic, the correct phrasing is "no fuckin' worries mate".
At least they're keeping it focused as a milsim; they've brought over the physics model from Take on Helicopters which is pretty damn sweet.
ARMA 3 is looking a bit special.
