  1. @VivaVHS ... which looks freakin' awesome!
  2. @VivaVHS No worries, I'll track it down. Picked up 'Martial Law' for £2 the other day. Actually, got a few tapes, including 'Evil Toons'...
  3. @VivaVHS Do you have 'Tiger Claws'? Would really appreciate a rental! Definitely gotta have my own Rothrock stash one day though.
  4. Anybody who really, really loves me, your money will be well spent here: ebay.co.uk/itm/cynthia-ro…. I will possibly perform "favours" in return.
  5. @mant_a_tangi Yeah, Charlotte Rampling and James Mason too. Definitely need to give it a whirl at some point.
  6. @mant_a_tangi Yeah, the symphony was just not in tune to me. Appreciate the intention, but not the execution. Haven't seen 'The Verdict'.
  7. @LydiarghGrace It's perhaps Anderson's roughest film, but also his most doll-like and childish (in a good way). Hope you love it!
  8. @24FPSUK Okay. I'll need to talk to you about the following week too, regarding me being almost completely broke.
  9. @24FPSUK I'm about to pop out for most of the day, will probably be back around 4pm.
  10. @Merazad This is why I'm trying to get it all done before breakfast ;)
  11. Been up for an hour to catch up on yesterday's e-mails. Now its time to catch up on reviews. I have been rubbish this week.
  12. @SV_films Around 1925. Perhaps earlier.
  13. @mant_a_tangi ... to call re: authenticity. Colours / music are overwrought, but the performances ground it in a harrowing reality.
  14. @mant_a_tangi ... me there. Aronofsky's direction is just too intrusive for me to truly slip into and feel that world. It's hard for me...
  15. @mant_a_tangi ... it ultimately has, which is to form like a scab on your brain, but I didn't enjoy all the prodding and poking which got...
  16. @mant_a_tangi Haven't seen 'Requiem For A Dream' in years; I remember admiring its grungy dedication to all-out nihilism, and the effect...
  17. ... of its overall mood though, and the way it digs into addiction; "Because shame isn't just a feeling. It's a place where some men live."
  18. Interesting too, looking back, how much of my original 'Shame' review I now disagree with. Closing line still encapsulates what I think...
  19. @Filmaluation Nothing spoken aloud made me laugh, definitely. There are so many plot holes, I just lost count after a while. It's so bad.
  20. @FilmLandEmpire Fucking hell, that must be exhausting, but no cinema experience would come close, would it?
