Night of the Comet is on Netflix UK now.

I just love these types of trashy early 80s sci-fi and horror films. It fills me with memories of hanging around the video shop (and van!) when I was a kid. I must've picked up and read the box for Night of the Comet hundreds of times.

I've tried and failed to watch "Night of Comet" and "Miracle Mile" in the past month. They're just so fantastically 80s.

I know. They bring back so many memories for me. Pretty bad films, but I love them all the more for it!

I might start a thread about trashy early 80s films, because they are the best. I recently watched "The Stuff" and "The Wraith" too. :D

Can't get enough of the Stuff!
 
Bit of a temporary derail, this, but I've found out when the students at college say that on a particular evening they're going to "Netflix and chill" it doesn't actually mean they're going to settle down for a decent movie with a box of Maltesers and some Dr. Peppers

you were parsing it as net (to gain) then flicks (what old people call films)?

LOL
 
no, Netflix and chill means casual sex so I understand

although "Netflix", isn't this just films you get on the net? :confused:
It's films and tv shows streamble by a specific web subscription service. Called netflix.

The netflix and chill euphamism is weird one, though.
 
Anyone watched beasts of no nation, yet? The guy who directed the whole of True Detective series 1, Idris Elba, a story of child soldiers in Africa - sounds pretty promising.

Netflix first full movie, apparently, causing controversy, as they are releasing it in the cinema at the same time it's on Netflix (1 day later, which just so happens to be the time needed to qualif for an academy award...). Most cinemas are saying "fuck that" with regards to devoting screen time to a film most if their audience will likely be able to watch at home. Not too keen on doing Netflix marketing for them, according to vice. But a couple of small chains are doing viewings.

Anyway, I'm either watching tonight or tomorrow. Anyone else?

Just watched it..good film if a little bit too long. Some of the dialogue was a bit hard to make out sometimes.

Elba was good.. So was the kid..worth watching..reminded me of city of god.

Makes perfect sense to me - just a pretence in order to avoid asking outright for sex, innit. Same as when you walk someone home after a night out and they invite you in for a coffee.
 
Started watching Orphan Black. Have watched three episodes. Damn. It knows how to do the end-of-episode thing that leaves you wanting more. It's 3am and I'm really knackered and really angry because I want to keep watching :D

Dead good.
