Supposed to be really good. It's about a camera team following a serial killer round as he murders people.

Supposed to be very stange.

I know Nige and Stef from VIDS thought it was great so I'm going to watch this one.

If you liked Swingers you may also like Made, which has the same two lead actors - Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn. Vince Vaughn is very funny in this - he gets to play an obnoxious idiot and he does it really well!

I've seen all of those and they were pretty good. Might keep an eye out for this director bloke then.

I've got another idea for a film about a man who works for a special effects studio. The studio is going out of business because of new-fangled computer effects, so they have to do something drastic to keep up with the competition. It starts off with an "Inside the Actor's Studio" style chat show, showcasing his career and using clips from his films, flashbacks to explain things, but as the film progresses he gives away more and more of his special effects secrets, eventually confessing that he killed people for body parts! <<<< that's actually the big spoiler, and the way I imagine the film I'd never be able to make, but it's still an interesting idea. Had a title and everything - "Snuff". Brian Denehey in the lead roll...

Ah, Vidz - what a great programme that was! A totally mad Welshman and an impossibly tall Scotsman giving genuinely honest reviews...

Last I saw of Nigel Buckland he was presenting some utter rubbish robot wars-alike on BBC3. Dunno what happened to Stef though.

Man Bites Dog is good. Yes, it black and white, but it's still good! It's not German, it's Belgian (see, they can do interesting things occasionally!) and is one of those films that mixes the shocking with the mundane for effect. I loved how the film-crew got more and more involved with the killings themselves as time went on!

Go is also good - with Swingers, Go and The Bourne Identity Doug Liman seems to have made a fairly promising start to his career....

Just a really lame gag about something or other...should have had a question mark really. I need a sandwich.

Um.. Yes.

Your three dots... tell me you're trying to mean something. What're you trying to say?!

That's the exact part I flicked to during a break of something else.
And they were the exact same thoughts I had.

It sucked for 10 seconds.

I'll pretend you never wrote that.

Man Bites Dog is an excellent film. Watched it a while back on channel 4, not knowing what it was about and was very impressed.

What was it doing on the Sci-fi channel though?

I flicked through, but all I saw was some black and white footage of a naked man running down a beach, with German commentary. It's not all like that though, is it? I think I've seen it before. Is it the one where they go to the construction site and murder that bloke before commenting on his d1ck size?
