  1. agree to disagree, there's so much to enjoy, the strange sisters who get involved one of whom is a seer of sorts, the editing (sounds bs but Roeg is on another planet with style), the synchronicities, the crimson tide....

     

    would highly recommend Performance & Bad Timing, the latter is intensely creepy cos its not framed as conventional horror

     

    Donald Cammel's "White of the Eye" is well worth hunting down too, v similar style, the protagonist is a sound system engineer so there's a weird sound design aspect + David Keith redefined insane...

    In a similar vein, John Hurt plays an electro-acoustic composer in The Shout, almost parallel stylistically to the above works, infinite juxtapositions between his sound recording work & the madness around, plus Tony Banks did the soundtrack/effects, a lost British beast:

    I watched both, wanted to love them more, but they were both interesting. I love Bad Timing.

     

    White Of The Eye seemed very coked up.

  3. Been watching anything to do with Terry Southern, most I have seen before, but a couple of new ones...

     

    Dr. Strangelove 5/5 - amazing, more Southern than Kubrick.....
    The Loved One 5/5 - my second favorite of his
    The Collector 4.5/5 - a little Hitchcock, a little Polanski.....
    Barbarella 3.5/5 - camp classic
    The End of the Road 2/5 - trippy and very weird, but I couldn't handle the last 15 minutes, too nasty for my liking
    Don't Make Waves 3.5/5 - screw ball comedy with a Southern twist, lots of fun! Tony Curtis is good.

    Candy 2.5/5 - pretty much a mess


  4. i watched "mahler" by ken russell. it was excellent. i love ken russell. he's sort of a genius. a campy, over the top genius.

     

     

     

    i watched john frankenheimer's "seconds". i loved it. absolutely brilliant. it had some of the greatest cinematography i've seen. eye candy of the highest order.

     

    I love Seconds and Mahler is one of my favorite movies ever, Georgina Hale is great!

  5. Read yesterday....

    Cartoonist Sam Zabel hasn’t drawn a comic in years. Stuck in a nightmare of creative block and despair, Sam spends his days writing superhero stories for a large American comics publisher and staring at a blank piece of paper, unable to draw a single line. Then one day he finds a mysterious old comic book set on Mars and is suddenly thrown headlong into a wild, fantastic journey through centuries of comics, stories, and imaginary worlds. Accompanied by a young webcomic creator named Alice and an enigmatic schoolgirl with rocket boots and a bag full of comics, Sam goes in search of the Magic Pen, encountering sex-crazed aliens, medieval monks, pirates, pixies and ― of course ― cartoonists. Funny, erotic, and thoughtful, Sam Zabel and the Magic Pen explores the pleasures, dangers, and moral consequences of fantasy.

    New Zealand/Canadian co-producion that tries to be Troma/early Peter Jackson, or BMX Bandits crossed with Mad Max.

     

    It doesn't really work, all the gore is unconvincing, especially the blood being very watery, light red, almost pink.
