    I've seen 2 films in the last 2 weeks that are very worth of a film club discussion. Moon and Dogtooth - both very different films but incredibly interesting and would be sure to inspire some very good conversation.

    I also managed to sit through Dogtooth to the end, didn't get round to Moon. Speak later.

    You need to watch anyone coming from that knitting group, last time I went there, I woke up the next day, fully clothed lying next to a sick bowl.

    hey all - thanks for coming last night - really nice to meet you all. ok for those who were there, and anyone who wants to come on in later, the two films we're going to review this time are:

    Moon - on DVD - Amazon has lots new and used at good prices http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_3?url=search-alias%3Ddvd&field-keywords=moon&sprefix=moo

    and I Am Love - at the cinema now at http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/films/i-am-love-film-listings-32053.html.

    have fun watching and we'll meet up again in two weeks, so Weds 3rd june - suggest OD again unless anyone would like another venue. ta lis

    Moon is the best Sci Fi film since 2001 Space Odyssey

    Oh dear, I was looking forward to Moon but if it's as dull and as shoddy as most of 2001, I'm going to have problems.
    (Exceptions: the Blue Danube sequence, and the 'I'm sorry Dave...' bits are ace. But they don't make up enough of the film to save it)

    hey filmites / filmettes. how's everyone doing? i've rewatched my copy of Moon so have a copy spare if anyone would like to borrow. not managed to organise myself well enough to get to I am Love yet but will try and push back bank holiday weekend lethargy and make the visit this weekend. catch up next weds - anyone else who's interested more than welcome :)

    hi there - and what a merry little gathering it was last night - interesting to see how many opinions you can get out of a story - thanks for all who turned up on a lovely sunny evening. so first film/s out of the way, the next episode will be Paths of Glory, and early Kubrick foray which should prove a challenge. link on imdb here
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050825/. Slightly harder to get hold of but copies on amazon http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=paths+of+glory+dvd and a couple on ebay http://dvd-video.shop.ebay.co.uk/DVDs-/2288/i.html?_nkw=paths+of+glory+kubrick&_catref=1&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282 - think maybe we need to do some sharing on this one?

    I've put it as my next film from Love Film, so could pass it on afterwards. I didn't know Kirk Douglas was in it. Looks good.

    Don't think I'll be able to make it either. Have to work a bit late and then cycle home from South London. I think quite a few people are away actually. Yes I saw the film, it was interesting.
