Film

She's got that thing that if a film looks older than say the 80s, she automatically presumes it shit. Encountered this again recently when I was just settling into The Good The Bad and The Ugly and the tutting started all of 10 minutes in. Maybe I'll have to hedge my bets with convincing the kids to watch it although I don't have strong hopes there either.

Tell ya what, if I end up watching another concentration camp based, triumph of the human spirit in the face of appalling suffering type of thing I'm going to crack.

My wife is the same. She'll watch a film that was made recently but set in the 50s/60s/70s/80s made however she will rarely watch a film actually made in those decades - bar the classics. She'll rarely watch a film made in the 1990s even - unless she has already seen it and liked it.

Well, in that case, you're both free to watch Divorzio all'italiana without fear of being spied on, and there you'll find your solution :p

Watched the latest Texas Chainsaw last night on Netflix. Really enjoyed it and had a great run time of under 90 minutes. Can't stand films that drag on.

Had a bit of a dig at the current generation of youngsters which I'm sure some folk will enjoy .

Hehe, " Try anything and you're cancelled bro"

Beyond the Black Rainbow

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

What did you make of it? I've only seen it once, with a couple of mates, neither of whom were getting into it at all so that kind of made the viewing difficult. Have been wondering whether to give it another go again or not. Seemed pretty cool to me, a bit slow, sure, but no slower than some films that would be in my classics list. Stalker and Solaris are slow as fuck, for example.

I don't mind the pace. I watched it twice and enjoyed it a lot, yet I understand why it's got mixed reviews. The music and visuals were great and even though it't not totally coherent all the time, I enjoyed the story. It was the directors first film and he improved a lot with Mandy a few years back.

That Independence Day sequel is up there with the worst shite I've had the misfortune of watching. I wasn't expecting much but FFS, how dumb and gay and cringe can one show be?

[Born of Fire]

Finally got around to watching the latest James Bond. Really couldn't get into it. Far too long and meandering, felt like it dragged on forever. I'd probably have turned it off if I wasn't on a flight with nothing else downloaded to watch.

On the other hand I watched the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre the other night and loved it. Plot is absolute nonsense but it's great, bloody mayhem.

will give this a watch soon. The original is really where its at  the sequel with Dennis Hopper starting a rusty chainsaw in an attic is comedy gold though.

Working our way through the glut of good to very good films coming out at the moment. Paul Thomas Anderson's new one Licorice Pizza, very good, Almodovar's new one Madres Paralelas, excellent, sits among his absolute best. Power of the Dog lined up for tonight or tomorrow.

Unlike the original which has no gore whatsoever and is all the better for it. Is this movie now in the public domain or something, what's with all the reboots and remakes??
