Hopefully some of you have seen this, it came out this summer but it just came out on DVD last week and I picked it up tonight and watched it again. Fantastic London gangster flick. It's like Guy Ritchie finally pissed all of the Madonna out of his system and got back to making movies that are actually stylish, sick, hilarious, and entertaining again. The formula doesn't stray very far from the model of Lock/Stock and Snatch, but it doesn't really need to in my opinion. If you liked those you will like this very much. If I remember from the discussion boards here about 10 years ago, most people enjoyed/talked about those flicks quite a bit.
Here's the imdb synopsis: "In London, a real-estate scam puts millions of pounds up for grabs, attracting some of the city's scrappiest tough guys and its more established underworld types, all of whom are looking to get rich quick. While the city's seasoned criminals vie for the cash, an unexpected player has a multi-million dollar prize fall into his hands."
People ask the question... what's a RocknRolla? And I tell 'em - it's not about drums, drugs, and hospital trips, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, other the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the whole fucking lot.

Oh man I can't wait to see that *drool*

I downloaded it forever ago. Probably won't watch it for a while cuz I always remember enjoying Guy Ritchie films but also remember how much they made my fucking head hurt. At the moment I have to watch the Watchmen Motion Comic before I watch the live action Watchmen.....I bought the graphic novel a while ago shortly after I heard about it, how critically acclaimed it was, and how there is going to be a Watchmen movie. I couldn't read it for long though, I'm just not big on comic books. So I was happy to hear on Attack Of The Show about the motion comic so I don't have to strain my eyes and can have both hands free to hold most likely a hot pocket in the left and my dick in the right.

This isnt about the Judas Priest album?

I bought it the other day but haven't gotten around to watching it. I have high hopes for it, considering how cool* Lock Stock and Snatch were.
*Cool despite also being fucking ridiculous, ham-fisted and with complete bullshit dialogue, that was way enjoyable.

Hahaha, exactly! It's like, we shouldn't like it because of that, yet the style overpowers all the problems.

Actually that's what I remember thinking about The Cell when I first saw it. Style was all it had and I liked it.
-
The Cell was awesome. Kind of weird to think of Vince Vaughn doing a somewhat serious part, though.

He was the best part about it, he's awesome. But when you get over all the dazzling nightmarish dreamscapes and all that, there is pretty much NO storyline, or character development or anything. I should prolly watch it again, it's been a long time.
EDIT: WHoops, I thought you meant vincent dnofrio (sp), HE was the best part.
-
Yeah, he really was.
Also, the scene with Jennifer Lopez smoking a joint in her knickers was pretty cool.
-
I didnt know about that... I now know where my next spank material is.
-
It's not a long scene, but that's the magic of DVDs, innit?
-
Oh, I can make it last....
-
4x slo-mo.
Yes that's right Jennifer you keep slowly rolling... and vibrating. Yes I like it when you vibrate like that.

I don't miss the days of trying pause a nude scene on VHS and trying to beat it to some misshaped blurry tits with static through them all while they do a horizontal dance back and forth.

Nor do I. But 13 year old me made the best of VHS technology, that's for sure.
