Just bought the three pack of the Bourne identity series of movies. About to watch the first with hubby.

But I have to wait til he watches the end of.........ET!!
Was it the extended version?

The one where it shows ET's brother NT dropping him off at Earth and ET says "see you NT" :oops:

Just saw Norwegian Wood at Nova. Beautiful, overwhelming, genuinely moving.

Whatever floats ya boat Ken... :shock:

A mad scientist kidnaps and mutilates a trio of tourists in order to reassemble them into a new "pet"-- a human centipede, created by stitching their mouths to each others' rectums.

Not one for the family nights...

My son and his GF watched that a month or so ago. I wandered past and had a look a couple of times.

not my cup of tea.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I've recently taped Polanski's "The Tenant" which I saw years ago I think when Valhalla was in Victoria Street Richmond - was on SBS recently - I loved it then. Makes a good film does our Roman - not too sure about his sexual mores but thats another matter.

Also taped Julia & Julie that was on last night.

Looking forward to watching both of them

I think it's just the hype. Most people watched it on the grounds that it was the 'sickest movie of all time' or some such. By all accounts it was really woeful and relatively tame given the subject matter.

Otherwise, I'm not sure what leads people to seek out films like this. My housemate watches every horror film he can get his hands on, and seems to employ a reasonable rationale (something about escaping desensitisation), but I struggle to see the appeal. It bothers me that so many teenagers watch and enjoy films like Saw and Hostel, although that's probably more symptom of societal ills than cause.
