Film

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Apologies for my mistake, now edited, but this is still the film thread!

Threw on Oliver! for the wee lad yesterday. Had forgotten there's just a little bit too much singing, and the collective dance sections, one in particular, are identical to what Monty Python parodied with Every Sperm, but overall, a great movie for kids.

It's kind of hilarious how someone had the idea to turn Oliver Twist into a musical about a little scamp singing and dancing through his little adventures. The book is brutal, dark and violent. It's closer to a Gothic horror than The Sound of Music in places

He's a naughty one, Saucy Jack!
He's a haughty one, Saucy Jack!

Home Alone this afternoon, wee lad loved it. You do forget just how savage some of the individual attacks on the robbers are. The nail on the stairs scene still gets me clenching my teeth.

And Last Night In Soho tonight. Can definitely see why a lot may really dislike it, but I found it really entertaining, albeit a bit messy here and there. Had no idea what it was actually about, apart from Soho, 60s vibe, something, something. Prob best that way. Found it much more enjoyable than The World's End which I thought was practically unwatchable in its chronically cringe humour attempts.

"Home Alone", the first one anyway is absolutely deadly and is also essentially "Die Hard" for kids. I re-watched it for the first time in about 25 years last Christmas. The nail scene, the blow torch and the bare feet on glass decorations are particularly vicious. Not sure it'd be allowed in a kids' movie now.

Jesus - flashback to the early-90s - the screams, cheers and howls of laughter in the local cinema as each trap played out. 



Watched the new Bond film on Saturday. It's way too long. There's a good film in there but a scissors needs to be taken to it.

The paint can to the head was always a favourite moment.

Must bust it out next weekend with the pup.

Most of the traps being carefully orchestrated whereas one of them was a plain Blowtorch to the Skull always made me laugh.

Haha, yeah!

Stern's scream when he gets the Tarantula on the face. Brilliant.

I enjoyed Last Night In Soho, but have to agree it is a bit messy in terms of what style the movie is trying to be. Is it a thriller, is it a comedy, is it a horror?etc I'd have to disagree about The Worlds End though, at least the movie is not a mess. I think a rewatch of Soho is in order

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I didn't mind it was split into essentially two movies, first a light comedy then... something else. It's just that the something else part was in itself a bit of a mess. Plenty of movies have pulled off the mid-way veer into a totally new genre really well. From Dusk Til Dawn, for example.

As the new one is all the rage... I came across this last night - an almost 3 hour fan edit of Lynch's Dune, in excellent quality:

Probably the closest thing we'll get to Lynch's original cut. I don't think it's the TV cut, though it has elements of it. Separated into chapters, with lots of additional detail from the book.

I watched Red Notice night. They should change the name to Bag Of Shite.

It's great, give it a go. If I can, going to go for a third viewing of the new one this weekend.

I remember vividly watching the Oliver twist cartoon movie as a kid. Looking back now it is dark as fuck. I mean yes it's still a musical but it had your man Bill Sykes beating the fuck out of Nancy.
