Not really that odd tbh we did not have black people till the early nighties
100% masahiko
i is a professor and is magical like totoro
That film was like a bad dream.
It reminded me of Critters stuck in a 21st Century version of Grange Hill, with shit actors playing out tabloid-ready stereotypes.

The Life and Times of a Sentinel - a 26 part Hong Kong drama series. Oh my god...
Rango. Very good indeed, involving a Chameleon faking his way around the plot of Polanski's Chinatown.

the guard. shite.

Bring back hanging
Don't talk wet - it even included a scene from The Shout - probably the most neglected and underrated film from the 70s.

was that the scene with a young john hurt falling down? i wondered what it was.
i didn't like the guard as i was led to believe it would be funny and it wasn't that funny. brendan gleeson is fantastic though. don cheadle isn't.

Yep that's it, do dig it out, it's fantastic. Never understood why it's not better known.
As for the guard, i though Cheadle had to play the role as he did. It worked for me. Ending bit rushed, but enjoyed it a lot. Lot of great one off lines. (That's half a billion)

2 eps of Mark Cousin's 15 part doc on cinema. Awesome stuff, why is it hidden away. Must see for anyone who adores film.

This Machine Kills Progressives
I don't think it's as good as In Bruges but it's still pretty good. Best comedy I've seen this year.

Four Lions. Not bad for £3 from HMV. I liked the prayer bear and the crow sketch. Some good actors.
Very odd that the sleeve had no details at all only the standard BBFC 15 rating! One can only hope that a little granny didn't buy it thinking it was a follow up to Born Free.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Sons of Anarchy season 4 episode 3. Wish the J Teller stuff had been killed off last series. Who gives a fuck.
Underbelly Razor up to episode 6. Violent 1920's aussie gang war. Good in a trashy way
Season finale of Alphas. Good stuff. Lighter than heroes, less powered up than x-men. Morally dubious but worth a second series. Still as it is syfy production thats probably the last we will ever see of it

The Veteran - not brilliant but worth watching Brit flic about a soldier returning from duty in Afghanistan and being recruited by British intelligence to track down a terrorist cell while trying to help his friend battle the local London housing estate villian. The acting, shots of London & soundtrack are all pretty good. The gun shoot out at the end is like the bank robbery from Heat moved to London which makes it worth watching alone.

it's ace isn't it? surely you've seen it before though?

I saw it when it came out. It was a lot funnier back then. I think liberal amounts of pot help the humor quotient.
Watching it now, what sticks out is the incredible amount of racism that needs to be present in a country to base this sort of comedy upon.

you're not wrong.
the campfire scene has dated somewhat.

The whole thing has dated.
Watching Cleavon Little do the googly-eyed black thing has dated.
Watching Mel Brooks act like an idiot has dated.
Best part was, the one I watched had the word 'nigger' bleeped out.
How can you have 'Blazing Saddles' without the word 'nigger'?

How have I not seen this before. It was an ordeal.

I watched it a few days ago myself. It resembled Land and Freedom in some ways. And with the counter-insurgency, the swaggering Black and Tan thugs came across as two-dimensional Baddies. Looks real pretty, though.

No dialogue. Just plot.
Finally got round to watching all of The Road. Very grim but very moving. The book was more gut wrenching though.
Also watched Super. Wasnt quite what i was expecting. Thought it was going to be a light hearted film in the vain of Kick Ass. That, it is not. Pretty good film though.

Little Big Man. As a comedy it is very dated and fails. As a revisionist western it succeeds. To think they thought of casting Laurence Olivier or Paul Scofield! They must have been pissed.
Isn't it odd how you can go on and off actors? I used to like Hoffman but I now only like him in Midnight Cowboy.
