also I saw the new film by the guy who remade Suspiria last night, it was alright
I haven't seen the Suspiria remake, mostly because I hate Thom Yorke

The suspira remake is a perfectly fine but largely unmemorable horror film that seems to think it's actually a really serious meditation on the holocaust or something.
But it's not suspiria at all

also the man who made new suspiria made a version of william burroughs queer with daniel craig as william burroughs for some reason
(it was okay, with a couple of really incredible scenes, which is basically my review of most of his films i've seen)

Yeah, that's the basic problem with it. I just don't see the point of having made it. You may as well say you're going to make a new Pink Panther film and then make a James Bond one instead, with lots of ominous references to the Berlin Wall

In regards to "Queer", I remember watching the David Cronenberg adaption of Naked Lunch back in the day. It wasn't very good, despite them depicting things like living typewriters and mugwumps and all that. It was sort of half bits taken from the book and half biography. Cronenberg stayed away from the "talking asshole" story, presumably because it was funny
Really all adaptions of Burroughs's work should be along the lines of this

I quite like a lot of the cronenberg naked lunch thing (especially ian holm), but it is the most bafflingly heterosexual burroughs adaptation its presumably possibly to make.

I watched WarGames for the upteenth time, this afternoone.
It's surprisingly watchable, and I don't want to hit M. Broderick in the faece like I do in Ferris Bueller's Day Orf.
I don't know, I still wanted the nukes to win just to blow him up.
I think there's a bit part with the guy who would go on to voice Mandark on "Dexter's Laboratory" a decade later though (cast against type as a library-dwelling pocket-protectored capital-N Nerd) so that's fun.
Also I quote the "how about a nice game of chess" bit often.

I have now seen 2001: A Space Laughing Gnome three times on 70mm. I am quite pleased at this hat-trick, which I was able to do via cinema membership allowing me cheaper tickets

What do you get if you cross Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, some sort of mummified ape man, a spy thief, an alien, a train, snow, a mad monk, a baroness, telly savalas as a Cossack ?
It’s Horror Express, some sort of spaghetti horror film on bbc iplayer.
Genuine 7/10

I'm sure when I saw that it was called something different but equally crappy, like death train or something, but i can find no evidence of this on a four second search of google
anyway, somehow telly savalas in this is worse than he is in any other thing, and he is always the worst thing in every other thing he's ever been in, so that's some impressive telly savalasing alright
