  1. Lifeforce is cool, part of a fine series in the very specific film genre Patrick Stewart spazzing out in a wheelchair.

    I've read a lot of horror but aside from the classics most novels tend to run out of steam quite quickly so I mainly read short story collections now. If that's your thing Robert Aickman is very good, similar to M.R James, and Thomas Ligotti is fantastic. A couple of graphic novels worth a look are Wytches by Scott Snyder and Through The Woods by Emily Carroll. Not particularly under the radar I'm afraid but hopefully you've not heard of at least one of them.
  3. Can I pay someone money to watch this online or do I have to go to a cinema?

    I did not like this at all, but good luck. You were right tec. I was fine with the first 3rd, but this one fell apart quickly. Basically a pissing match over a chess game. Fuck off. 2 old geezers stroking each other in the shower / 10 Aw, sadly unlike watching a shit film a shit book has taken far more time. The main thing I learned from this is that whilst Stephen King's stories are great his recommendations can be a load of old toss.
  5. Neon Demon - I was loving it up until the catwalk two thirds of the way in, then it meanders and anything interesting that was hinting away from the most predictable ending vanishes. Nice to see Keanu as always.

    I did not like this at all, but good luck. About a 1/3 through and it's holding up for me. But, if it just becomes a pissing match between Oberst & some other mind vampires to join their stupid club then I could see it unraveling quickly. If you ever encounter a mind vampire in real life, kill them. They're complete pricks. Just wait until they get to the hood.
  7. The Eternal - It's on netflix and sounded intriguing so thought I'd give it a whirl, stars Christopher Walken doing a bad Irish impression, then one of the characters takes the piss and does an impression but of Chistopher Walken in his standard voice. 10/10.
  8. Scanners is fun but is nowhere near his best, basically if Ironside wasn't in it then it would be pretty bloody awful. The Brood is wonderful.

    I did not like this at all, but good luck. Finally reading The War of the Worlds and just finished Killing For Company, poor old Bleep. Worth a go if you like In Cold Blood and its ilk.
  10. For some reason Dredd Case Files 7 is hard to find so I got America to placate my Mega City needs.
  11. Nice, that last one could be a screencap from Stalker.

    Dunno whether to read something on the solar system or Dennis Nilsen, it's so easy to feel spoilt by books.

    Just finished The Vegetarian by Han Kang, weren't bad but was a bit weird and didn't really do much. It's won loads of prizes so typically I feel either they are wrong or I am too dumb to see its merits.
  14. He looks younger now he has lost a bit of weight so they could use him no problem. Saul fucking about drives him to comfort eat.
  15. Orificial Trailer *drops pants* I don't intend to watch this again but was the scary bit at the end flying tents?
  16. When I worked in a bookshop Louis Theroux asked me where something was and didn't say thanks when I told him. It still hurts.

    What you reading? Just finished The Land of the Green Man by Caroline Larrington, not a bad choice for an introduction to it all.
  18. Arnie can act too, End of Days is his The Theory of Everything.
  19. That obviously looks retarded but I remember once reading the wiki for the movie Raw Deal and found a great reviewer that summed up Arnie's appeal. "Benson, however, praised Schwarzenegger saying that his strength as an actor is "not that he can toss grown men over ceiling beams, but that he has a vein of sweetness and self-deprecation that no amount of mayhem can obliterate. It has shone from him since "Pumping Iron" it has allowed him to surmount silly and unwise pieces of action (such as the drunk scenes in one of the "Conans" and here), and even his own awkwardness as an actor." I think Vin Diesel has a similar thing going on, but unlike Arnie I don't really watch his films.
