Good job Chris. :P
Even I don't have...NICE !! Good job Chris. :P <br /><br />Even I don't have a problem with British Humour but as you said maybe I should not try to make it more than what it is. Let me know how does that TV show works out for you. I read about that too.<br /><br />Thanks Chris and Keep Cycling/Running - whichever works for your back !!SDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331736603243732602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996842231848527441.post-7413931837937368082012-05-17T10:43:12.684-04:002012-05-17T10:43:12.684-04:00That moment of Steve McQueen on the motorcycle is ...That moment of Steve McQueen on the motorcycle is kind of iconic, isn't it.<br /><br />To run with your creative title, I enjoyed taking the trip to The Trip (not tripping over myself), and without "trippin" ( : <br />As a matter of fact, I recently bought the tv-show the movie is based on, should be a fun watch to spend time with those guys again! I don't think there was a deeper message to locate, I took it as a light-hearted comedy, and I dig British humour, so that helps my cause.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996842231848527441.post-47848265483948689712012-05-11T09:05:19.464-04:002012-05-11T09:05:19.464-04:00Ha, there's nothing wrong with you, it's j...Ha, there's nothing wrong with you, it's just a very very different kind of humor. In my experience, British humor is all about the dialogue, very cold, very dry. Us Americans tend to use slapstick or obvious jokes to make people laugh, which, incidentally, hardly ever makes me laugh.<br /><br />Also, I think The Trip has a huge heart, in the scenes with Coogan trying to figure out whether or not he's going to move to the States for work. I dunno, I just really dug it.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996842231848527441.post-52938684820450543822012-05-10T23:39:55.985-04:002012-05-10T23:39:55.985-04:00Me neither !!

Though I have couple of his docs in my Netflix queue and he really goes of the hook foesn't he?<br /><br />I like how our reactions to the Hitchcockian movies match - first Vertigo now Rope.

It started off as almost mildly amusing then the further it went on, the more...crazy Treadwell seemed to become. (Btw, how crazy was that coroner? Our doco screening couldn't help but laugh at him). <br /><br />I love The Trip as well - so, so much!!! I'm not sure how it'd hold up a second time, but Coogan and Brydon were hilarious - "Gentlement to bed, for we leave at 9.30!"<br /><br />I was so excited when I started watching Rope and realised what Hitchcock was doing with long takes. My mind imploded a little from the awesome-ness of it all :D Great write-ups!!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175638828147935702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996842231848527441.post-3538359546262898722012-05-10T16:04:01.794-04:002012-05-10T16:04:01.794-04:00A handful of great, random films you've got he...A handful of great, random films you've got here. Very nice. Grizzly Man is your first Herzog, huh? He's my second favorite director, love that guy. Glad to hear you enjoyed that film.<br /><br />I think The Trip is one of the funniest films released in the last 10 years. I loved every minute of it.<br /><br />Really glad to hear you liked Rope. The long shots in that movie were (and remain) revolutionary.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.com
