 | How good is this fucking film? It's a bloody masterpiece. You can take all the Donnie Darkos in the world and shove
 them right up your arse and the Matrix Reloaded to follow if
 you disagree. So there.

 | yes a good movie. doesnt have anything to do with donnie darkos and matrices reloaded yes: it's a completely
 different genre. its about youth that doesnt know what to do
 only now in a brazilian slum, like la haine only cooler. its
 a very well known theme

 | Saw it for the second time the other night. Along with Dirty Pretty Things it's my film of the year.
 
 Its THE film for Guardian readers like me and bill hicks.

 | Just saw it last night (rented). I refused to go to the cinema to see it after it got a mediocre response from the
 Newsnight Review crew. Not the best decision I've ever made,
 because City of God is actually a very good film.
 
 But I did enjoy Donnie Darko alot too. Oh, and I am an avid
 Guardianista

 | I didn't get to enjoy the extras since I don't have the remote control to the DVD player. But the picture was good
 and, as discussed, the film is fairly excellent.

 | One to look out for. 
 Last vid I saw was Dogtown and Z Boys and I was disappointed
 by it to be honest, too cheesy and full of "we changed the
 world" type stuff. Good footage though.

 time.

 | I was surprised at how much Dogtown and Z Boys avoided that actually. Maybe our expectations were different.
 
 There was one guy who was a real dick though; all "we were
 sooooooo ker-azee" .

 | i don't know if i'm giving it extra kudos because it is a foreign film. Some of the plot lines were quite predictable.
 You knew lil dice was going to be a bad-ass, you knew the
 cool dealer(can't remember his name) was going to get killed
 and you knew the runts would come out on top. That being
 said, I'm sick of all these films with twists and double
 twists and all that shit. It's time for cinema to get back
 to some good straight storytelling.
 
 I'm more of a daily record reader, myself. The grauniad is a
 bit too difficult to read on public transport. If they made
 it tabloid shaped, i might be interested.

 | I see your point. But it was largely based on real life events and you can't argue with that can you?
 
 Daily Record eh? I assume that's a local rag. I see what you
 mean though. The broadsheets are a bloody pain in the arse
 on the bus. But while travelling on public transport I like
 to read the Sun. It helps me slip in amongst the lower
 orders. I'd fear for a punch in the face if I read anything
 else.

 | I also thought Dogtown and Z Boys was up it's own arse. The best part was at the beginning when they were surfing near
 that old delapidated amusement park, what a bunch of
 nutcases!
