Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Good movie. Poor Paris Hilton had so much stuff she didn’t notice she’d been robbed.

It’s in my Netflix Q someplace. Looking forward to it.

Love this movie. Seen it a million times.

Very good movie.

Glad you liked The Bling Ring, it seems difficult to get people to admit they like it considering the subject matter and blatant presentation. It's incredibly well made.

Hope you enjoy it!

I've seen Breathless, i think the other four Godards i've seen are better but it's okay. Truffaut only co-wrote the story it was based on for the record.

Don't get the love for The Bling Ring myself, nothing to do with the subject matter - if anything it should have been something I liked with the subject matter

You read my post before I deleted part of it. Always get Truffaut & Godard mixed up.

Brandy Burre had a single season in The Wire. This is a sort of cinema verité thing on her life in 2014. I enjoyed it & am going to watch it again tomorrow.



Good movie. Don’t usually watch stuff like this, but I enjoyed it. Kinda nutty at the end.

I just can't get into this director's work, seen about four of her films now. A lead character I didn't care for and to top it off nearly three hours long watching an annoying square aspect ratio I can't stand.

While he does occasionally sound a little silly, there are some scene recreations in the film, and the accuracy is sort of uncanny.

I haven't read the book, though I was tempted to pick it up last week. I saw an interview with Franco and Wiseau where Wiseau claims only 40% of the book is accurate, but he agrees with 98% of the film. I'm not sure how that's possible since the film is based on the book, but it does make me want to read it and find out.

What didn't you like about it? Don't think there's much love for it at all, outside some underground Sofia Coppola is the best American Director blogs i've come across at least (and Somewhere & Marie Antoinette are always above The Bling Ring in those places)

I haven't read it either, @Yoda has i believe so maybe he could answer your questions. I own it and was ready to read it but i read about Stalin instead

the book is great and truly offers a great look into the room. I was hesitant about the book for fear tommy would be treated bad and the whole thing coming off as a sort of tabloid like piece but greg sestero's writing is great and strikes a good balance of comedy and drama and being both critical but also talking about he looked up to tommy in ways and truly respected the man. Great book so far!

Just noticed the last part wasn't to me, haha sorry.

I felt the direction was so detached and disinterested which made the whole thing rather sterile and uninteresting personally. Parts of it looked nice (the house they robbed that had plenty of glass and was partly viewed from a distance springs immediately to mind) but other than that I can't say I thought very highly of it at all tbh.

I don't think that at all, i think her direction was exactly what was called for. I'm happy to expand on that but i think we just don't agree.

Fish Tank: 2009
Please don't find out the plot of this movie, every summary spoils the big plot twist.

I've read The Disaster Artist but I haven't seen the film, so I can't comment on how similar they are. But you can take everything Wiseau says with a grain of salt; the book details him pretty blatantly lying more than once.

Highly recommend it, by the way. I kinda thought I'd have to slog my way through it because I'd seen the film, read a lot about it, et cetera, but even know the basic story, it was a great, great read, and downright hysterical at times. Of course, the whole reason I gave it a shot was because Tom Bissell was involved, so at the risk of denying Sestero some credit, I think that probably has a lot to do with it.

Is the mob part just Greg saying he thinks that's where he got the money or is there more to it?

I own the book i just keep putting it off and that's one part i've been wondering about.

Oh, does the movie assume that part's true? Yeah, in the book it just seems like suspicions and insinuations. Not really based on nothing, but if the movie shows him actually knee-deep in mob stuff, that's somewhere between educated guess and creative liberty, compared to the book.

Oh, sorry i haven't seen the movie. I know a fair amount about the New York Mafia and there's baseless rumours they were involved in the funding of it, was just wondering if Greg said anything specific.

based off the trouble Tommy has communicating and how he is often rude (probably not fully understanding why what he says is rude) I dont see how or why the mob would fund his movie but who knows

For the record i think this is more offensive to Tommy than the stuff you found offensive on his behalf before.
