Taika Waititi is bringing Jodorowsky's The Incal to the big screen. This is potentially awesome news. This could, in essence, be the closest we'll ever get to Jodorowsky's Dune. And even if it's not my favourite Jodo comic, I think just a little excitement is allowed.

Ya saw this yesterday. Very exciting news.

Watched Soul this morning with the missus and wee lad. Enjoyable, but I'd heard it was one of the best going. Personally think Inside Out was a much better cartoon.

And last night The Master by Paul Thomas Anderson, a film of his from 2012 which totally passed me by. Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Amy Adams star. Good, but never really manages to fully pull you in. Great performances, but I'd only recommend it to completionists of either PTA or the main actors.

Yeah, The Master never quite came together. Great, or at least INTENSE, performances all round (maybe borrowing a little too much from the Daniel Day Lewis over acting school for my taste) but it lacked something to really draw you in. Maybe it was just so heavy on the acting that the story couldn't quite compete?

Seen Dune there a few days ago. I wouldn't usually be into that type of thing but very much enjoyed it.

[Necro Red]

Going tomorrow night. Really looking forward to it

A copy of one of the very few storyboard books of Jodorowsky's Dune is going up for auction at Christie's:

That is a serious book for a collector. After watching the documentary years ago you can see how huge the thing is. The movie would probably be a week long ha ha ha ha

Western dump/binge

Death Rides a Horse - Lee van Cleef with another top shelf spaghetti western.

A Fistful of Dynamite/Duck, You Sucker - James Coburn as an IRA explosives expert on the run gets roped in with a Mexican bandit during the revolution. Him and Steiger have great chemistry. It's Sergio Leone's last western, has moments of comedy but some serious takes on revolution, there's some great scenes in Toners Pub.

The Mercenary - Great Franco Nero flick by the great Sergio Corbucci

Keoma - Latter period spaghetti western with Nero and Corbucci again, more epic and almost arty but the only thing that wrecks it slightly is the soundtrack. It's fine but there's a male vocalist that just sounds spastic. Other than that it's great.

Rewatched Day of Anger and Django too, both in my top 5.

Next up, The Great Silence and The Big Gundown.

Gonna check out Duck, You Sucker.

Paris, Texas - Had been meaning to watch it and Dean Stockwell dying reminded me. Thought it was a great film. Ended up reading up on it afterwards and one article led me to...

The Searchers - John Wayne was an incredibly annoying, irrational prick. Good besides for the old western vibe and beautiful Texan scenery.

Do, Coburn is great in it. I admire that a non-Irish film portrayed the revolution, although brief so well. Morricone put a brilliant score on it too.

Paris, Texas is great, must rewatch it some time.

Can't stand John Wayne.

Firing on a horror called Good Manners. Looks like it might be interesting.

Edit.  I gave up after half an hour. Fuck it was dragging... Black Sabbath documentary it is

Went to see Edgar Wright's The Last Night in Soho, I am thoroughly whelmed...

I'm a big fan of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End so I was looking forward to this but its just a bit of a mess.
