If you check out the Twin Galaxies website they are crying foul (or rather, they did when the film came out). They're claiming it was a complete fit-up job and large chunks of it were totally misrepresenting what actually happened. Having said that, I don't think anyone is claiming that Billy was anything other than a complete bell-end though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 13, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2012 I love King of Kong. great film. There does seem to be some evidence that it's edited...creatively let's say. but I think it's just to exagerrate certain points rather than to fabricate them. Either way, interesting film.

GarethRDR Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I love this thread. Finished off Mesrine with film #2 yesterday. Thanks VT! Bloody superb stuff, and as added bonus I'd never seen Ludivine Sagnier before; hubba-mutha-freakin'-hubba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houlston Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Dont know, I take it you are on about Mel Gibsons Payback? That was made in the late nineties Point Blank was only made two years ago. Unless I've misunderstood your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted January 13, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2012 Anyone seen "The Artist" yet? Looks like my sort of thing. I saw 'The Artist' last Friday and really enjoyed it. It's an extremely well executed film that looks back on silent cinema. How times have changed, yet old silent films never seem to lose their magic. Another great exploration of cinema, not long after the equally good 'Hugo'. I would certainly recommend 'The Artist' if you are a film lover. The dog is great in it too and I can see why the press are going crazy over him. Up next for me will be 'War Horse' on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ray Liotta's greatest film better than Goodfellas Added bonus it has Bishop from Aliens and Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters, Congo) Its sometimes shown on BBC2 at 3am in the morning if your lucky.
