Tom Hiddleston double; High-Rise/I Saw The Light

High Rise (Ben Wheatley, 2015) - say no to adaptations of unfilmable books. Can see why greats like Nic Roeg left this alone for a guy who I see has directed television to pick up.

A lot of it in the mid-90s. Britpop was a tough time for everybody.

I don't see how High Rise is unfilmable tbh

lol at being bothered to research Wheatley enough to know this, but not bothered enough to consider his actual film work.
But hey, it's the negative thread so carry on as you are. Sadly I can't think of any more current things to hate on, I'm sure I will be back soon though.

Wasn't doing "research", just looked at a couple of wiki pages.
While everyone else wasted their time on British cinema I watched Manoel De Oliveira's last film. A real, proper film.

Wheatley's "A Field In England" is freaky brilliance. Am looking forward to watching "High Rise".

He, yeah, and it's directed by someone whose name could have been an auto-correct from French. I still don't really get what film you're talking about, though?

Wiki tells me it's from last year but it just came out hers.
Do we have a thread listing examples of the turner and hooch/k9 phenomenon? Feel like every message board must have one. And it is a bank holiday.
― Rainer Weirder Faßbooker (wins), Thursday, 24 March 2016 15:25 (eight years ago) link
I think we did have a thread for something of the sort, but can't for the life of me think what it would have been called.

Start a new one anyway! If someone else remembers they can link it up, but it's probably from 2003 or something.
― emil.y, Friday, 25 March 2016 01:42 (eight years ago) link
And actually I think I might just be thinking about 'animal versions of buddy cop movies' (b/c of the examples you used) rather than 'two films about the same thing coming out at the same time'.

Lots of docs like this - I mean I'm sure its fine but it could also be a 20 min segment on BBC News 24.
Anyway, a lot of 'this will be in Storyville in six months' and then its on it and I won't watch anyway.

Tale of Tales was a pretty big disappointment to me. I ended up writing about how like Arabian Nights it showed the bankruptcy of it's production country, only with ToT it's kinda inadvertently.

xyzzz___ you would def not like chevalier, it's pretty much exactly how you'd picture "producer of dogtooth makes a mainstream male-bonding bro comedy" to be (one of the guys even looks a bit like the creepy manchild from the hangover films). I liked it quite a bit tbh but I like things
