Hm, well I haven't seen Human Traffic -- but I fell asleep nearing the middle of Groove. For a rave movie it made me kind of drowsy, I have to say. So it wasn't to my personal liking. I wanted to like it a lot more, for all its "authenticity", but eh... that "moving the mixer's crossfader corresponds to rising drum roll/transition WHOOSH noise" really bugged me. I liked Go more . . .

haha! anyway whats wrong with gouryella? thats what happens when you take so many pills you end up listening to 90s pop trance. they do listen to belfast in the car though. i haven't watched it that often, its ok but when i first saw it i'd taken a pill so it freaks me out a bit.
"that's paranoia!!!!!!!" :)

its not really meant to be a film with a set plot and story. its just about being sound, sorted, safe. the music isnt amazing but its apt and reflects on the culture it portrays. i think you are a dolt.

there's plenty of reasons to slag off human traffic; lack of plot isn't really one of them. it's film about going out with mates - when was the last time one of your night's out had a plot?monoid's never been out to a fucking club anyway, so he'd have no idea what the film was about. he just sits indoors all day complaining to everyone on xlt about how he's not capable of going outdoors and making friends, taking dxm & boring everyone on xlt by constantly starting threads about it.. oh, and starting threads about films he doesn't like; but instead of explaining why he doesn't like them, he just tries to qualify his pointless thread by saying they're "shit".
try saying something positive or at least constructive for a change, eh?
you'd be a lot more endearing.

Lol, bullshit DUDE. I dont neccesarly have to be a secret Agent to enjoy all the James Bond Flicks. And I dont neccesarly have to be a clubgoer to enjoy a movie about the CLUBS. But Human Traffic was shit, and lacked any substance, just a bunch of people who pretend to be on drugs...there are better movies about drugs than this

They should make a film about at least one of the partys i have been to, it would be scary and funny at the same time.

its not just about the drugs tho. one good friend of mine is refuses to touch any drug at all and has never tried anything and probably never will, but still enjoyed the film massively, which says a lot i think. from the comments you and others make about you, you are obviously out of your depth in what you're talking about and you just sound like a COCK

I'm in two minds about human traffic... bits are quite funny, other bits are just horribly clichéd.
Also, just because monoid didn't like the film, doesn't make him a COCK.

Have you ever done ecstacy, Monoid?
Cos if you haven't you're not really qualified to make statements about the movie like that.
For the record I thought Human Traffic was a cheesy piece of crap, but it captured some elements of going out and getting twatted quite well.

^ yeah it was okaaaay but kinda cliched and overdone, the whole "everyone is together! everyone is cool with each other!" shit is like, yeah you feel that but you don't fucking go on and on about it because thar's where it gets cheesy and falls apart.
It seems like a movie for kinda ravers who haven't been ravers for all that long.
Plus that blonde girl looks kinda of and acts horribly like my ex.
Go I think was kinda better...from what I can remember, saw it aaaaages ago.
Haven't seen groove

I saw about 20 minutes of Human Traffic once and thought it was absolutely retarded. But that's probably because I was in a room full of people who were extremely stoned and I was not, and they were laughing hysterically, and I was not.

That's a pretty flawed analogy.
I'm saying that although the movie is cheesy and all that, it does, as od says above, capture something pretty unique that you probably won't have experienced if you haven't gone out clubbing and necking pills.

that wasn't quite what i was saying, actually.
but never mind.
i'm not saying that first-hand experience is key to enjoying something. obviously not. otherwise film, literature and music would never travel as well as it does.
all i was saying was, theres better reasons to criticise human traffic than lack of plot. a film about a load of people on pills was never going to have much of a plot. i guess you could say that the whole film was a bad premise.. but if you consider that it COULD have been entertaining, then theres other ways of attacking it: based more on execution than on lack of plot.
i'm not defending the film. i didn't like it much myself. at all.
oh, and i don't do pills either - so i'm not just saying "nnnoooo dduuuuude you like dont like unnderstaaannndd how it feeeels unleesess you'vvee beneeen therreeee, maaaaaaannn. thaaaat fiiiilm is ssooooo deeepp itts likee its liike its like my life on cellluuloid or something."
as i said before. you don't have to have 1st hand experience of something in order to appreciate a work based on/around it.

I reckon you can say it's a bad movie if you haven't done extacy yeah easily. you just can't judge whether or not it's realistic to the drug taking if you haven't done it.
Whether or not you've done the drugs in a drug movie or not - a bad movie is a bad movie.
I'm not defending his opinion, just defending his position to give one.
