Woah @Overdriven, it's me who should be facepalming you!!
I can't facepalm myself
Just watched Whiplash.
Fuck me with a drumstick; truly outstanding film making. I add this to my top 3 which becomes my top 4.
Linkage Trem?
I forgot about '71 (Same lad from Starred Up).
Fucking scary and brilliant at the same time.
It was always the knee-capping that did it for me, that always got in my head when I was a kid, hearing stories about the IRA punishing people by doing this to them.I watched this last night. It's fantastic.
I don't know what it is about Irish terrorists (as depicted in the media) but they seem more scary than anyone else I've watched. Perhaps it's the accent and the steely gazes.
I finally got around to watching Nightcrawler, damn that is a great performance from Gyllenhall or whatever his name is.
