Film Cafe

I think this should be a sticky because, we need a film forum and this would tie I us over until you give us one, and I think it’s a little bit helpful to newbies who like films but do not understand the credits giving to people. And the amount of crap that has come onto the forums there is no way in hell this topic would last without being a sticky. You might think why do I have the audacity to ask to have this topic become a sticky but it will more good than harm I think.

I posted this topic because I love movies, love talking about, love watching them. The first time that I really got into films is when I was playing Grand Theft Auto III, I noticed how cool the mafia were in the game, so when I went to my Dad’s house I saw the Godfather in his video collection (He is still stuck in the stone age) So I asked could I borrow it to watch it, So when he brought me home Sunday I watched it, absolutely loved it, And I learned that there was a trilogy of them so bought the other 2, loved them as well but had to watch Godfather II several times to appreciate it.
A year later I got a Playstation 2, So I deciding that I might get a few dvd’s to start my collection, so I got a few every now and then to add to my collection. After about two years I saw Grosse Point Blank on Network 2 one night, and decided to buy it, so I rang my step-Dad and asked him to buy it, and I would pay him back when he got home.
He rang back and said that there was an offer in Hmv that if you bought a dvd you could get another for 10 euro, so I said what’s there, he said ‘Gladiator, Jackie Brown, Jerry Maguire, Pulp Fiction’ I picked Pulp Fiction and that’s when I really got into films and studied the way its made, the artistry in it, the metaphors, and the depiction of characters on the screen.

You probably know where I got the title ‘Film Café’, Well that’s where use to talk about films with his mates, in Café’s, And that’s another reason why I created this topic, to discuss movies, future movies, and the mystery’s that surround most Tarantino films, like what’s with name ‘Reservoir Dogs’ or what was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction………so have fun…………..
