  1. That Cronenberg flick Spider just popped up on my tv, forgot it features the building from that Squarepusher album cover.

    One of his best films imo, but not many agree....anything is better than A Dangerous Method though.

  2. Exorcist III is rrrrrrockin, entirely due to Brad Dourif & GCS,,,,,, the bits in the psych-ward, the walking sheet creature, the mentalist nurse with the big scissors , Brad wrathing @ GCS about the "cold dark places"...... a forgotten gem imho

     

    exorcist 3-not a patch on the 1st one,bit tv movie-ish,but still has a sinister vibe,also george.c.scott and brad dourif are great in this7/10

     

     

    I would highly recommend this film by the same director/writer http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081237/combined

    It's amazing, and considered part 2 of a trilogy.

    Exorcist 3 was originally called Legion and had no exorcisms in the book or original screenplay.

  3. rewatched Ken Russell's The Devils (1971), due to sweet restored version finally arriving in the post. Has to be my favourite British film. Its intensity and scale is unadulterated genius. You have this myriad of elements that unfold in a deliciously wicked crimson tide; the slow dissolving madness of V Redgrave's suppressed desires, the French court's complete moral corruption & Oliver Reed completely OWNING T'INGS. Derek Jarman did all the sets + the cast is packed with familiar character actor faces from that whole era.

     

    If you've been forced to watch as many low resolution flicks on a laptop alongside damp watery excavation trenches as i have, these restored prints on a decent home-screen (granted not like watching Blade Runner in t'cinema) are heaven-sent.

     

    Infinity/10

     

     

     

    I love The Devils, my favorite actress is Georgina Hale (so I LOVE Mahler....) Wish more would be restored for Blu-ray.

     

    I bought Ken Russell at the BBC DVD box set and some of his TV films are amazing and even better than many of his feature films.

  4. Further proof that remastering is not always for the best. Of the Variant releases, the remastered FallingStars that came out a few years ago was actually an improvement, though.

     

    I just bought Dreaming thru Vector and Auratia on cd.

     

    cv313 usually are my favorite releases from the label.

     

    "As Time Stood Still" from the remastered The Setting Sun is like shrill tinnitus with beats.

  5. I don't care about the politics of the bands or their egotistical memories.

     

    As long as the music is good....although I tend to like their albums where Youth and Fehlmann are involved.

     

    This comp. is totally uneeded though, just buy the first few albums and Okie Dokie It's The Orb On Kompakt. (the album before and after Okie Dokie are awful!!!)
