Chuck it. It's a nasty film and doesn't get any better towards the end. I felt really depressed and frightened when I finished watching it
They all die

King Of Insides
The Changeling - not the recent Angelina Jolie film but the haunted house film from 1980. Was pretty good, the seance bit was well spooky.

I am watching Summer Interlude.
Orang Utan
Psychick Worrier Ov Geyoor
John From Cincinnati - a kind of supernatural Northern Exposure but with surfers instead of woodsmen. Created/produced by David Milch of Deadwood fame and some 'surf noir' writer called Kem Nunn.
Rebecca Mornay stars as hippy chick surfer wife who once wanked off her own son when on acid. Needless to say, he's now a fuck up and a junkie. His dad, Bruce Greenwiod is some kind of Zen surf purist and the whole family is rather dysfunctional.
Comic relief provided by Deadwood's Charlier Utter and The Wire's Vondas as a pair of hapless sentimental smack dealers and Ellsworth from Deadwood as a dope-smoking Vietnam vet whos smuggles Mexicans. Intriguing, but a bit of a curate's egg. Got canned after one season by HBO.

The Octagon
Stop...Hammertime
I can't believe Milch chose to invest his time in this rather than finish Deadwood properly.

He didn't have a choice - I'm sure he would have done if he'd been given the chanceI can't believe Milch chose to invest his time in this rather than finish Deadwood properly.

From what the actors and HBO have said, they were willing to make some one-off feature length episodes (like Farscape's Peacekeeper Wars), but Milch had already moved onto John From Cincinnati and wasn't interested.
Of course, that's probably not the whole story, but it does rankle.
There was untapped gold yet to be discovered (the great fire that destroyed Deadwood, the rebuilding, Dan and Al falling out and Swearengen's descent into vagrancy and ultimately ignoble death).

naah, Milch tried desperately for a couple of years to get the last parts finished, from what I read, but cast commitments meant there was never any (well enough paid) time for them to come together.
A tragedy. Twas the greatest TV series ever made.

I would have loved the Bullock and Tolliver costumes

Would you want it with or without the whore's blood / urinary gleet stains?

anyway....
just watched the first half of the first disc (of four) from Land of Promise, The British Documentary Movement 1930-1950. Great stuff, the very first 'modern' documentary, Industrial Britain from 1931, beautifully shot and magnificently edited piece about, mm, industry. In Britain. In 1931. Followed by Shipyard, and Workers and Jobs - oblique titles definitely weren't in then.
About to sit down to a much lighter choice with The Assassination of Richard Nixon.

Sounds cool, Downloading right now, Last night I watched "The boy in the striped pyjamas" an excellent movie ruined by my copy being a bad copy and freezing at the movie climax
I wonder if this is a Leica recommendation...It did seem to be more your sort of thing...
It's not - I've never seen it
What's my sort of thing? Just curious
