Late 90s UK Amazon e-commerce rival 'Jungle' would've never purchased Bond. They'd have purchased the 'Doctor...' franchise films starring Dirk Bogarde and James Robertson Justice.

A Real Pain - David Thair and Vom Vorton travel to Poland to remake Old Joy for some reason

4/5 - would probably watch again

I also watched A Zed And Two Noughts yesterday, a 1980s Peter Greenaway film starring Jim Davidson for some reason

i don't know why he was in it but he was

Post by **dng** » Thu Feb 27, 2025 5:49 pm

needless to say he stunk up every scene he was in, the useless wanker

Oh no the Real Pain was me all along

The ending of this was so blatantly stolen from Old Joy that it left me really confused. I liked it otherwise though

This is still the only Peter Greenaway film that I've seen for some reason even though I really liked it. I don't remember Jim Davidson being in it but maybe subconsciously I did notice and that's why I never got around to watching anything else

"The Falls" is a really good Peter Greenaway film. It's actually formatted like loads of different short films strung together, except it's got a narrative all the way through it, about some sort of weird event that caused a minor cataclysm in the 70s and now loads of people are sort of like birds. It's good, I liked it, and J. Davidson is nowhere to be seen in it

A shorter thing he did in the same year (1980) is this documentary, which I think I've linked to before but I like it so much I'm going to link to it again

Post by **dng** » Fri Feb 28, 2025 11:36 am

I've not seen that one. I've seen drowning by numbers (this is brilliant); the cook the thief his wife her lover (also pretty great); the belly of an architect (pretty good); and the pillow book (okay)

Post by **dng** » Fri Feb 28, 2025 11:36 am

looking on wikipedia it appears he's still making films, its just no ones mentioned them since the 90s for some reason

Post by **endar** » Fri Feb 28, 2025 12:09 pm

Prospero's Books looks amazing

Post by **endar** » Fri Feb 28, 2025 12:23 pm

Apparently it was French produced and Japanese funded

and there are games based on it. Like The Book of Watermarks on PS1, which was JP only. Also a Taiwanese exclusive one for DOS with no translatable name.

Post by **endar** » Fri Feb 28, 2025 12:27 pm

I know these things because a streamer I watch is obsessed with Peter Greenaway and once got banned for showing a trailer for Prospero's Books which featured background micro peens, because it was supposed to depict a moving renaissance painting.

So now he likes to claim he got banned for trying to teach his viewers about Shakespeare

here is stream of Taiwanese game

Post by **endar** » Fri Feb 28, 2025 12:30 pm

This streamer also regularly plays adult japanese adventure games on PC-88, PC-98 and Windows 95 and DOS, that contain gratuitous naked animes and sexytime, for which he has never been banned

I've now shook this vibe out of my system, and the last two films I watched were enjoyable 110 minute sing-y romcoms Pitch Perfect and Pitch Perfect 2. Both directed by Peter Greenaway. Probably.

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Mar 02, 2025 3:21 pm

Another day, another romcom. The remake (and role reversal) of Overboard. It's nowhere as good as the Kurt Russell / Goldie Hawn orig, but I liked it.

And I'll keep the fact that I also watched Pitch Perfect 3 to myself...

Also about 2/3rds of the way through it, there's a scene that if it doesn't bring you to tears, then you must have a heart of stone!

If you like Sabrina The Teenage Witch, AC Slater in Saved By The Bell, Stockholm Syndrome, and festive films, then have I a movie for you!

Are you watching Christmas films in March, David? Do we need to stage an intervention?

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Mar 07, 2025 4:17 pm

The time for an intervention has long passed, Vomola! :p

Also - just watchin' that particular Chrinbuss film, as it sounded nuts!

Post by **dng** » Fri Mar 07, 2025 4:44 pm

Christmas films should be banned in spring

Also in summer, autumn, winter

memoir of a snail - animated film by the man who made mary and max, where a girl narrates her life which is a life of absolutely unrelenting exponentially increasing misery

Post by **dng** » Fri Mar 21, 2025 11:23 pm

it reminded me of my sister by the tindersticks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb4gE7EEXzs

but instead of eight minutes long it lasted an hour and a half

Post by **dng** » Fri Mar 21, 2025 11:23 pm

which was a bit much

Post by **dng** » Fri Mar 21, 2025 11:24 pm

also the voice of "headmaster" was done by luke elliot

Post by **dng** » Fri Mar 21, 2025 11:26 pm

which along with watching whatever film it was that "tom morton" did the voice for, now makes me hope that one day i will have seen animated films with everyone from n3ta providing one minor voice role somewhere at some point

Post by **vom** » Sat Mar 22, 2025 12:03 am

Post by **vom** » Sat Mar 22, 2025 12:03 am

The one "I" did a voice for was called Long Way North I think

Post by **vom** » Sat Mar 22, 2025 12:03 am

Or something like that

Post by **vom** » Sat Mar 22, 2025 12:04 am

And then "I" was also in The Substance

I watched the 1989 horror film 'Society' vesterday.

I really didn't care for it, and I think I'll stick to inane rom-coms from now on.

Post by **dng** » Sat Mar 22, 2025 7:14 pm

i bloody love society

You know what I watched after Society?

'So Undercover' starring Miley Cyrus (6% rating on Rotten Tomatoes).

I didn't mind it, actually!

Post by **dng** » Fri Mar 28, 2025 2:23 pm

Yesterday I watched I'm Still Here, a film about a woman whose husband is arrested/murdered by the fascist government in brazil in the 70s, and it was astonishingly good, almost overwhelming so

Post by **dng** » Fri Mar 28, 2025 2:23 pm

so i would recommend that if anyones looking for something to watch

Post by **dng** » Fri Mar 28, 2025 2:27 pm

another good film i saw recently was the universal theory, a sort of science fiction hitchcock pastiche that i thought was really brilliant, strangely moving

(link goes to mediocre guardian review)

Post by **dng** » Fri Mar 28, 2025 2:31 pm

and also all the long nights, which was some low key japanese film about a boy who has panic attacks and a girl who has pms induced anxiety break downs, and they work in a small office making miniature planetarium projectors for schools, and become friends, and that's it really.

it was just weirdly nice seeing a film about nice people being nice to each other to be honest

Damn, I missed I'm Still Here when it was, erm, still here

Those other two sound great as well

Post by **vom** » Fri Mar 28, 2025 11:05 pm

I've been going to the cinema a lot more this year because I can go on the tram and also I've made some new Cinema Friends and they are cool and I like them

this week I saw Sister Midnight with one of them, which was kinda weirdly paced but also unusual and good, and then Lost Highway with another one of them which is slowly becoming one of my favourite David Lynch films

I'm going to see Flow tomorrow but I've failed to enlist any company for that one
