I have to find that movie.

So many particulars. So many questions.
First 2 episodes of new Dexter, (series 4) . Good shit.
In A Lonely Place.
Absolutely brilliant.
Best film I've seen in ages. The best performance I've ever seen by Bogart and as a film, it's miles ahead of its time in exploring lots of things that modern filmmakers are interested in such as narrative reliability and the system of meaning that film has built. And it manages to touch on that stuff lightly too while also being a brilliant psychological thriller and film noir.

Just a question of tracking a decent rip down from somewhere now. It doesn't look like it's had a DVD release yet, and has only played out at the film festivals so far...

Dumbo.
Discovered that it has been considered racist as the lead crow (when I see an Elephant fly) was called 'Jim Crow.'
Bollocks says I as the Crows are awesome in it.
Fuck all that shit. You can choose to watch old-skool Disney as a load of racist, anti-semitic rubbish, or you can watch them as a child. Good to see someone else still does that.
Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus.
Even shitter than I thought it would be. Awesome performance from Lorenzo Lamas; the lobotomised man's Dolph Lundgren. Excellent facial expressions from Debbie Gibson who turned in a performance worthy of a Channel 5 porno.
Highly recommended
Innit just? Altho not as cool as Bitch Slap
The Octagon
Stop...Hammertime
Finally convinced my dad that Band of Brothers is worth watching and watched the first 3 episodes with him last night.
It's as close as we get to father / son bonding
Forgot how good the music was in the show (amongst everything else that's awesome too).

20th Century Boys - film 1 - first half.
It's 2.5 hours long so too much for me of an evening. The wife loved it despite not really liking the manga. I thought it was a bit meh but ok so far I suppose. Quite a lot of these recent manga film adaptations just look like cheap TV movies.
On odd thing was that I noticed the main characters name was Kenchi Endo and couldn't get the thought of actor Kenji Endo out of my head. Then Kenji Endo suddenly appeared in a sort of cameo, as a dieing man who killed the Kenchi Endo characters friend.
Ta da.

the lost world of mitchell & kenyon - was a birthday gift for my mum - i think it was shown on the bbc originally, but it's a bfi project - mitchell & kenyon were commercial film makers based in blackburn in the early 20th century and their company, local films, filmed people going about their daily business, handed out flyers to them to come and see themselves and projected their films onto the walls of local theatres and meeting rooms. it was a very successful business as we all know how we like to look at ourselves on film. the quality of the films are amazing, considering how the films were lost in a basement of a shop for 80 plus years (and anyone who's seen inglourious basterds knows how volatile nitrate film stock can be). the footage is fascinating - exhausted, dirty workers rushing out of the factory at dinner/home time, people in their sunday best parading round the park - all rather mundane activities but fascinating all the same. there's the odd moment that you don't see in pathe newsreels - people being silly and larking about in front of the camera, which is refreshing, since we're used to seeing these stiff formal bewhiskered edwardians doing serious things very seriously. some of the films are privately commissioned ones, so you see adults playing cowboys and indians and adverts for leisure parks with slapstick interludes of people falling in lakes - like an edwardian you've been framed.
the only drawback was the drippy presenter who has an unfortunate voice - rhotacism, a lisp and sounding like you need to clear your throat are not an attractive combination, esp if you're narrating 3 hour long programmes.
also watched the first half hour of the first episode of heimat - i'm already drawn in but slightly disconcerted by the random switching of black & white into colour occasionally.

A long but very rewarding journey you're starting there mate.

Fuck you Dave!
I saw the series on the TV - wonderful
. Fascinating seeing the landscape of the time, the streets, the fashions, the people etc. An extraordinary social historical recordbutchersapron

Done a Dexter marathon till I caught up with ep 8 of series 4. May have to watch that one again as I was deep in my cups by that point. It's not bad, is Dexter. Nothing deep about it but the black humour and good writing make it an entertaining watch.

I remember watching it way back when - IIRC C4 broadcast it (altho I might be mistaken). Our German teacher recommended it to improve our vocab. All the boys watched it mainly for the T&A

If they're on offer it might be worth it, but otherwise...one at a time probably best.
