  1. I like the Scarfolk blog, it's not as though Ghost Box have a monopoly on the weirder end of English '70s nostalgia, plus there's links to Belbury Poly and Ghost Box, etc, at the bottom. Credit where credit's due and all that. Most of the shopped posters and what have you are really well done, and it's cool to see someone rolling with that aesthetic in a primarily visual/text-based format, seeing as Belbury Poly et al have the musical angle covered.

     

    I agree, Scarfolk is good fun, I'd suggest you give it a go if this is a scene that you are interested in. If anything rather than Ghost Box it's inspired by the frightening health and safety videos of that era.

    Honeymoon - Maybe the most annoying couple in film history, you are almost glad when bad things begin to happen to them. However, the end has someone stabbing their own genitals so it narrowly escapes a 1/5.

     

    2/5.

    ha when you were asking for recommendations a while ago I was gonna recommend not watching that one..or maybe i did that i dunno

     

     

    I don't recall that you did, but somehow it got decent reviews everywhere so I thought it was worth a go. One of those moments where I said five minutes in "how can this possibly be good? Do you want to keep watching it?". Foolishly we did.

  3. I've always been intrigued by Pandemic but I don't have that many nerd friends, can it be played one on one?


    I'd like somewhere to play Android online too, it's proving hard to find players in the grim real world.

  4. Dead Snow 2

     

    Fuck yeah!/10

     

    Best movie I've seen so far this year. (no joke)

     

    Did you not find the American characters completely annoying? I loved the first and enjoyed this but the moments they are on screen are utter cringe.

  5. the last two pages are a lol, but anyway,

     

    Exists - Halfway through you could have replaced the actors with different people and I probably wouldn't have noticed. Made by the guy who done Blair Witch and proves that was definitely lightning in a bottle as he has got far worse.

     

    wait, just seen he done Lovely Molly which wasn't complete shit, how did he make this film? fucking hell.

  6. The Theory of Everything 9/10

    My appreciation of James Marsh continues. Quite simply the best director in Britain, Shadow Dancer was very under-rated.

     

    Just seen he is doing a film on Donald Crowhurst next, if you are intrigued watch the documentary Deep Water, ideally go in blind if you aren't familiar with Crowhurst, it will be fascinating.

  7. Apparently coconut oil is supposed to help for eczema too.

     

    I've been having this itch on the middle of my back for the past month or so myself. I have no idea if it's an allergic reaction or what.

     

    Manuka honey cream is the boss, get some of it.

     

    The new iTunes has killed the column browser so I've had to downgrade to version 10, Apple are dead to me.

    Essex Starg8 is on the way.... :cat:

     

     

     

     

    .... just heard this in chatmm:

     

    PHILIETI hear from a reliable source there are several hundred more set to drop too

    (Philie T = http://www.discogs.com/Manor-Boys-Chelmsfords-Most-Wanted/release/850760 ) :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck:

    waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    I've never even heard of that manor boys release

    Probably a newb question, but can someone explain to me why this might be a credible rumour?

     

    Also: YAAAAAAAYYYY!!!! HIFI UP TOP, DOWN LOW, THE WHOLE THING.

    Phil knows Grant and Richard pretty well anyway. But he's also a major wind-up merchant so who knows.

     

     

    Indeed, he was a funny fucker though, used to post here occasionally. Reminded me of his old film thing he tried to get going but seems this is all that remains.

    Now this is over, all the watmm tourists will be leaving soon.

     

     

    you know, the members with 30 posts who says "us" and "we" when referring to the watmm community vis-a-vis its being mentioned in pitckfork, despite contributing literally nothing and whose interest will vanish once the excitement slows down

     

    you've only been a member since 2012, just saying. No reason to act all territorial

     

     

    lol, indeed

     

    I remember when all this were fields...
