Mulholland Drive. Further tales from the world of Twin Peaks. Quality. First time sitting down to watch it start to finish actually. Has made me want to rewatch Lost Highway, haven't seen that in 20 years.

big Lynch fan here. Mulholland drive being my favourite. The return of twin peaks is ace too. I recently rewatched all of peaks. Glorious

He'd have had to have shuffled a lot quicker to make his way from DunLaoghaire to Rathmines.  :laugh:
He kind of looked like the puppet of John Cole that was on Spitting image.
There was quite a few notorious porn renters in that branch, but this old lad was definitely the most diligent.
There was a creepier lad who used to always rent a kids cartoon and a porno at the same time. His customer comments just read "Charlie Chester".

Did you get Trekkies in Rathmines? There was a horde of them in DunLaoghare always fighting over the latest VHS releases. Used to get violent sometimes.

Was just reading that and I don't think it would have been half as good in straight order like that. Good choice to cut it like that

Watched a recent film called Abigail last night.

Enjoyable light-hearted comedy/horror, directed by the guy who did Ready or Not so if anyone liked that they might like this one. Filmed in Dublin but set in America, pretty funny seeing them drive down the docks and it's supposed to be Chicago or something.

Just watched a film called I saw the TV Glow, might not be everyone's cup of tea here but it's well worth a look, sort of dark, surreal coming of ages film with trans themes running through it.

Also Fred Durst is in it! Which just felt completely random to me, like Jason Statham turning up in a Wes Anderson flick.

The phrase "coming of age" has put me off many a film over the years, having had universally bad experiences with things described as such.

Saying that, the Freddy D connection might make me give it a go

Tried to watch it a couple of months ago, couldn't hack it myself, the main actor was doing my head in. Seen Scorsese was giving it praise a week or two back though.

It's an underrated gem. Good craic and some great set pieces. And a rather good Danzig needle drop too!

Just watched all the Harry Potters for the first time. I'd seen the first two in the cinema at the time and thought they were crap so just checked out (I've read the books). Watched Azkaban the other day and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it so I finished the series over the next couple of weeks. I definitely checked out at the wrong time, they were pretty much all good from Azkaban onwards.

Haven't seen them all yet as going through them book then film with the wee lad, but Azkaban is definitely a bona fide great movie in its own right.

Oh is this the vampire thing? Apparently it was filmed partially in some old building up at the back of Phoenix Park near the Chapelizod/Strawberry Beds side. Can't remember what the building is/was, but i know you can see it from my mate's back garden and for years we'd been referring to it as "Castle Dracula", funnily enough

Yeah I think that's the spot.
I think Penny Dreadful might have used it too.

I watched Megan last night.
What a bag of shite. The doll looks like a more rubbery Thunderbird and the child has a pouty face that only a mother could love.

Saw an advance screening of the War of the Rohirrim tonight. Grand to daycent. Weird watching anime in English so I think I'll watch it again soon in Japanese, although then it's going to be weird watching Middle Earth stuff in Japanese!
