oh lordy i LOVED mud

ahahaha Mafia: Survival Game is on my menu for tonight

[zakk]

OK I watched the mafia movie

My accuracy in guessing was 66.7% (2/3) with 18% (2/11) odds of getting it right. Happy w/that. Also guessed in which order people would die mostly correctly.

It was interesting. The subtitles were excruciating though, especially after about 50 minutes when it began delaying more and mooore and you had to remember who was saying what because it would show at the wrong time lol

I hope somebody else subtitles it again LOL

Yeah. The mafia parts were the best because it seemed like actual mafia arguments (though somewhat naive). Then there are 15 minute kinda dull death sequences. The order of death was pretty easy. (Oh, we know that character's story? Ok, bye.)

Those subtitles are really rough. I wish I know Russian.

Yeah I feel like if you take away a few of the gimmicks and revamp the story a bit a really good movie could be made out of this, as long as it was planned out pretty meticulously and wasn't so predictable

i would be down to write something like that, actually. i'd have trouble finding a setting which would lend itself to that specific type of dialogue though, which is why my suspension of disbelief for "ridiculously contrived dystopian future reality TV game show" was pretty manageable... because i couldn't immediately think of something more applicable to the necessary dialogue situations, off-hand

i mean, aside from an actual mafia movie. haha

For "Prison", would strongly recommend "A Prophet". You won't regret. Saw it a couple of weeks ago and it was seriously awesome.

sweet. i like prison movies

some of my other favorites are:
- Escape Plan (bc sly and arnie yo)
- Dog Pound (juvy, but yea)
- The Great Escape
- Con Air
- Face/Off
- The Rock (yeaahhhhhh okay I like Nic Cage)
- Count of Monte Cristo (prison part)
- Watchmen (prison part)

also, a quick google tells me that A Prophet is French

sweet. i like foreign movies
