  1. @cmasonwells Actually, no. In bed with the flu, working my way through obscure 70s stuff I've acquired....
  2. The film was produced by Brut (yes, as in 66) and features a theme song by Lou Rawls. Can't get much more 70s than that...
  3. WELCOME TO ARROW BEACH (1974): Bizarre-o cannibalism drama/thriller directed by (& starring) Laurence Harvey, who wants to eat Meg Foster.
  4. @Cinelais Agreed -- both in aesthetic approach and subject matter. Both are examples of wish-fulfillment, but X being genuinely dark.
  5. @labuzamovies Yeah....I could have done without the wrap-up as well, but I'm even willing to overlook that.
  6. I can't think of a better example of this-is-how-we-live-now. I'm talkin' Lars von Trier levels of nihilism.
  7. PROJECT X blew me away. The most honest, nihilistic American film I've seen in years. Did for me what AFTERSCHOOL did for @gemko.
  8. I love that there's a Twitter tribute account for NY character actor extraordinaire Joe Spinell. @JoeSpinell #ff
  9. @JigsawLounge But come on...late-festival burnout + seeing multiple films each day -- clearly that was a factor in some of the knee-jerk.
  10. @JigsawLounge Clearly though there were MANY examples of (b) here on twitter, yeah? Those wave of the hand dismissals pissed me off...
  11. Marijuana compound shown to be superior treatment for schizophrenia than antipsychotics, with fewer side effects: tinyurl.com/7vmbbw4
  12. @filmboyd @Christa666 Agree with Boyd. An excuse to go eat popcorn, I guess, but little more....
  13. @Christa666 @filmboyd There is of course this option... youtu.be/zv8RvNxy6uM
  14. @sallitt Congratulations, Dan! Hope to see it (and you) in Edinburgh!
  15. @Kringellek Heh --- fantastic. Thanks!
  16. @vjmfilms It's strictly about the sound of the language itself.
  17. @vjmfilms They are, but it's incredibly amusing to hear the Norwegians poke fun at the Danish language.
  18. @ExtAngel I plan to, and will style myself after Eroc from Grobschnitt: electricflower.ucoz.com/_bl/3/75000740…
  19. @vjmfilms Been a while since I saw it, but, yeah, I think that was a "thing" throughout the film.
