Film

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Agree it's still the best, but when you've to throw ~50 quid on top of the price for a babysitter, it's really got to be an event of a film for us to cough up, otherwise up on the projector at home is still close enough to the cinema experience. Maybe even better, since easier to pop out for a mid-movie schmoke top-up!

I used to love going to the cinema. In my teens and 20s I would go several times a week.

I remember seeing the recently departed William Friedkin's re-released "The Exorcist" twice in one day - separated by a screening of "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels".

Something changed in the middle of the first decade of this century - perhaps the ubiquitous nature of the mobile phone - but people began treating the place like an extension of their front room.

And also as a feeding trough. Don't get me wrong - I like popcorn and all that but I don't need a bin liner sizes receptacle of it to enjoy a film.

I like the cinema but can't handle the chomping mouth breathers.
Eat you snacks with some level of decorum you fucking savages.
Having some cunt beside me having the last supper would ruin any experience never mind a film I want to watch and hear.
The last time I was at the cinema the mongo beside me ate 10 packets of crisps. I couldn't help counting a I was amazed at his cunt face.
10 ! The greasy arsemouth wiping his hands all over himself as well.

I haven't read this, but it seems there's a general sentiment around it:

Confirms everything that's been said, really. A good point made that this will be a lot of people's first time in cinemas due to covid, and they simply don't understand watching a film without a phone in their hand.

Agreed, annoys the fuck outta me. I'm not even trying to be funny here, and while I'm going back some years, the absolute gobshite whom thought it was a wonderful idea to eat a copious amount of snacks while watching 'Hunger'.

Not trying, but      all the same.

I also want to burn all the noisy eating fucks in the cinema as well. Maybe someone should invent some sort of "cinema paste" where it's popcorn and crisps and a drink and maybe a few jellies made into a paste that people can quietly squeeze down their necks

Stopped putting off watching Come and See. Bleak alright, but not to the extent that it warranted me avoiding watching it. Wouldn't be in a rush to see it again now, but.

[open face surgery]

Started a movie called Death Metal last night as it was the first thing on my dad's dodgy box. Full Incantation tune to start the show. Was intiruged. Got about 45 cringe inducing minutes into it. Terrible shite altogether.

Bronson. Still shite. The only good thing about it is The Walker Brothers at the start which I was unaware of back when I first saw it.

In The Heat of the Night. Also shite. Had the potential to be great and I found it to have some Twin Peaks like eccentricities despite predating it by about 25 years. Just turned into an unresolved mess at the end.

[astfgyl]

Is it just me or are films with metal tunes in them invariably terrible? Can't think of a good one off the top of my head. Obv ready to be corrected quick smart, such is the beauty of the online forum

Gummo!

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

There's defo others too but that was the first that came to mind

Such an unsettling but brilliant film. That scene is glorious.

[astfgyl]

Never seen that film or indeed heard of it at all so I'll have to take your word for it. My wildcard was Nailbomb in that thing where the young fella wanted to ride the teacher but that's not necessarily a good flick either

To Die For was it now I think about it. Nicole Kidman playing the sexy teacher iirc

[Thorn]

Ooh yeah,Nicole is scorching in that one alright
