Smaller TVs and not knowing any better helped.
I watched a film at a mini cinema once only to be told afterwards it was a projected VHS. It looked fine to mee.
What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt2)

I don't remember that.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Because it was the only way you could watch your favourite films more than once without spending a fortune at the cinema, and because it meant you could watch proper continental filth in the privacy of your own home.
T'is true, many a foreign film was wanked upon in the privacy of my bedroom while my poor parents watched Coronation Street downstairs!
...and those taped off Ch4 and BBC2 back in the day when they showed strange foreign films with both a sexual and intellectual content.

Memorable film then?
I've seen it about four or five times as well.

It was great....only the first film I saw with the Red Triangle was Out of The Blue.....fucking loved it, but it was fucked up, changed the way I saw films forever really.....this followed on from my earlier education via Alex Cox on Moviedrome, which showed plenty of mad fims as it was....but channel 4 managed to up it a level.

I think the best film I saw from that period was probably L'Ete Meuturier (One Deadly Summer) which has Isabelle Adajani getting naked lots, and lezzing it up with her former teacher who has, and I recall this very clearly, very, very dark brown nipples that got very large after being kissed by said Ms Adjani.

I remember two films, not for the breast content, one was Le Rayon Vert and one was Notre Histoire - both because I fell in love with the lead women and because I wanted to be a drunk like Alain Delon in the latter.
I watched Rayon Vert recently and still really enjoyed it, but the lead was a right moody missus......whereas Nathalie Baye in Notre Histoire is still beautiful, although I don't want to be a drunk like Alain Delon anymore.

i was watching a bit of ivanhoe yesterday and there was a red circle on screen. i came to the conclusion that it warned you that the programme/film was bland and inoffensive.
i then switched over and watched the hudsucker proxy - my favourite of theirs and for some reason unfairly maligned by the critics.

Really? I saw it many years ago and thought it was ok. I have been trying to catch one of the recent flurrys but keep coming in too late, even for the plus ones.

yes - it's a beautiful looking film and the dialogue is exquisite, esp that between robbins and jason leigh

Yeah, Hudsucker Proxy is a massively underrated film. Great story, great acting, great writing and good fun.

Jason Leigh is top notch in that.
I think critics had a dig at it because it was just a bit light after Miller's Crossing and Barton Fink - but I think ranks up there. It's a great piece....some fab performances - good fun, feel good end.
I couldn't understand the bad reviews tbh.

i seem to be half watching an anti-dungeons and dragons propaganda film from the 80s and featuring a very young tom hanks. it's atrocious. it's called mazes and monsters.

Also watched Hudsucker the other night, excellent film. Recently saw Up In The Air which was fairly good, not a lot of story but decent dialogue.

Taxi Driver - Good film but I was slightly disappointed by the ending

I just thought the reaction of the media etc and his convo with the girl seemed a bit unlikely
Nanker Phelge

I always thought that it was supposed to appear unlikely....he'd accidently become something other than what he'd set out/been driven to be....the walking contradiction...like the Kris Kristofferson song that quoted.
I know it maybe ties up a bit too neatly....but following the 'event' I think it's a nice quiet end, rather than despair.
They could have left it at the finger to head moment I suppose - that would have worked as well.

He is....but now he's jsutified hero psycho crazy.

Hardly getting over it.
the state of you acting as a grammar nazi on a forum! nice life
Nice gif.
Good of you to declare to urban that "I am a Grammar Nazi". If you were looking to call me a grammar Nazi though, it should read "Du bist ein Grammar Nazi".
Oh, and just to really piss on your weetabix, I'd be a punctuation Nazi, as it was your punctuation I questioned.
Well done on showing yourself up though, chap!
