Just picked these up on DVD.

Nice, I remember being a young kid and my parents wouldn't allow me to watch this show. But staying over at my friends house he had a shitty portable black and white tv, my friend went to sleep and I couldn't sleep at all, so I turned on his tv and to my surprise this show was on, I've been a fan ever since.

If you're into horror anthology type movies, try Necronomicon. I really like it.

I'm still mad at HBO for cancelling Tales from the Crypt. How's that for sour grapes?

Here's a staggeringly good write-up chronicling the relationship between horror and avant/experimental cinema by Kier-La Janisse, author of the essential tome House of Psychotic Women:

Transforming the Invisible Ghost

Watched Avengers: Age of Ultron last night. It was bad.

Alternatively, I'm excited to see Spotlight.

Crimson Peak was lame

 

[CiG]

They turned Ultron into a fucking prat.

it's very strange. cormac mccarthy wrote the screenplay. it reminded me a bit of COSMOPOLIS for some reason, certain similarities in terms of theme and knowingly artificial dialogue etc, although i don't love it nearly as much as that. i'm always fascinated by movies that ostensibly seem like they might be generic hollywood shit but just go off in their own completely idiosyncratic direction though.

Watched this..found it good and I think I did hear of this as a hollywood film when it came out and never checked it out. Will have to watch again.

Spectre was an awesome film.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

no country probably knows all about this one. Fan's of Tarkovsky's Stalker and Zulawski's On The Silver Globe take heed. Sci-fi at its most epic and traumatizing.

 

[no country for old wainds]

my review on criticker was 'makes UNDERGROUND look like AMELIE' lol. it's fucking mental.

 

[CiG]

Last night I decided to watch the Matrix trilogy, watching the second film tonight and I'm kind of excited because it's been years by now and I barely remember what it's even about.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i barely remembered what it was about 5 minutes after it ended

 

[CiG]

I feel as if that's how I reacted at the time too, hahaha.

I have seen the movie Demon Knight a decent amount of times, but I am pretty sure this is my first time seeing the actual series and I am really enjoying it. And am going to end up getting all of this shit on DVD.

Fucking phenomenal movie.

 

[no country for old wainds]

^i saw YOU CAN COUNT ON ME today dude, i recommend it. it's a pretty obvious dry run for MARGARET and noticably gentler, less sweeping, more shopworn... but still hits plenty of the same spots. lonergan rules.

 

[Addo_Of_Nex]

I'll have to check that out, cheers. I really need to watch Margaret again in the near future. Lady friend really loved it, so I might just do that tomorrow.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i found it even better the second time round. was it the 186 minute cut you saw last time?

 

[Addo_Of_Nex]

Unfortunately, it wasn't. There was no internet at her place for a while, and I spotted it at a local video store. I'm fairly certain it was the 2.5-hour theatrical cut. I know the 3-hour cut is supposed to be much better, which only makes me want to revisit it even more.
