Went to the IFFR in Rotterdam as a volunteer, had a film blowout, must have seen over 40 films, made me wonder how long film has left, I am not sure it will be the same in a few years as leisure habits change. Radical things I saw were
Manifesto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifesto_(2015_film) - multi screen installation very original piece
The Pure Necessity - reworking of a scene from the animated Jungle Book
-
Fracking shales is the future of the west! I'm outta here.

Morrison's 4 for 6 of those english brexit sterlings.
Lovely drop. Great touch with the new world as you can see where this comes from (APA).

Just put an intel wireless card in a relative's Intel NUC which I had been reading a lot about recently - very small form, quiet, good specs and upgradeable RAM. Put Windows 10 on then now typing this on the beast connected to a 1080p display.
Gave up my job on Friday to go travelling for a bit and I am getting on a bit so it's a risk. Unemployable wandering hobo man In da house sounds alright to me.

Hey dumb question probably but does anyone buy/stream from Amazon? is the quality any good?
I use Amazon Prime Video - quality is great 1080p, not yet 4k. In terms of content its slightly light compared to Netflix but its a great service bundled with all their other stuff.
Watched Birdy tonight, Alan Parker's films have his look and trademark all over them. Sort of Peter Greenaway filming in the States. Accessible arthouse for the masses. Why go to war when you can project yourself astral like into the sky. Doesn't make it clear that MANY in war often use escapism to move themselves out of traumatic situations (see Kurt Vonnegut).

I have seen home mods better than that Wii U pad - this is a multi million made device - it looks like Donald Trump sat on it on his private (public now?) jet, flattened the plastic case then tried to put it back into shape like a dog pawing at a bone.
The Switch looks cleaner than Teresa May's snatch walking out of Brazillian Wax Company saying "OOOh ahhh oooh ahhhh". Good work Nintendo.

Been playing Wipeout Fury PS3 as I was interested in the 1080p output from the older playstation. Looks sweet. The gameplay, atmosphere and presentation reeks of Britain in the 1990s. Still not as good as F-Zero X for speed.

Thanks to this thread saw Postal last night (2007) which didn't quite take it as far I hoped. Boll's films should be the opposite of prolefeed.
Just about to get stuck into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Profane_Exhibit

Toni Erdmann - HAHAHAHAHA! Gerard Depardieu turns up at his daughter's flat in Bucharest and takes a huge shit on her front garden makes her think a bit. Great film.
-
Just about to put Toni Erdmann on with a pot of tea and a couple slices of toast. It's freezing outside.

Watched A Pigeon Sat On A Branch - Swedish detachment with European history and a bit of philosophising going on. Pigeons appear in the constant tweeting of one and a dead one. Says it all about the film. Marvelleouso/10
Riff Raff - 1990 Ken Loach more Ford Sierra than the Porsches of London today. See it and think how similar we all are just some of us are in meaningless jobs now nearly 30 years on. PreVeganVeganAndBoxerShorts/10

Halfway through The Expanse - wears it's influences proud and very watchable indeed. Athena Karkanis is like some surreal dream among mutants.
-
Time to watch Tunnel then!
-
Finally watched Lost Soul the story about Richard Stanley filming Dr Moreau. Kilmer comes out of this pretty bad, Brando at this point in time has completely lost it and the rest of the crew are having a wild party in the jungle for months on end. Shame no contribution from David Thewlis who was in the middle of it all.

It's the Christmas dinner as served in a well to do Kensington terrace or an eccentric old woman in a cottage in the Irish countryside, can't decide which?
-
Caze that's some good eating right there! Thanks.
-
That Pork Tacos recipe has been recorded and will be followed when I leave my current job for the last day - looks ace!
-
Beyond the Gates - Lopatin inspired synth drones crossed with The Monster Squad - Nostalgiatastic/10
The Twilight Zone - Wanted to see Lithgow lose it on an airplane, the Gremlin attacking the airplane wing has to be one of the best moments from the Twilight Zone. The Dan Ackroyd parts are weak though, didn't set the weirdness level high enough. Spielberg/Miller/Landis/Matheson/80s/10

Pineapple and porridge! That well known often talked about combination. Possibly has been used on a film set before to mimic bile.
-
Anyone else hoping some rocks were going to be thrown at Gosling as he walked up the steps?

Paz de la Huerto!

I'll have to interrupt and say that Orson Welles was good enough for Transformers. Such was the grandeur and delusion behind that role that he had to have it.

Got a bottle of Saison Dupont from the local beer shop in Notts. Fella was kind enough to recommend some Amsterdam places to go to this week. Going to be headed to

They have beers in the 9% range to be drank after dark only.
