Bill Drummond documentary about "The 17" - Bill draws a line from Kent to the west coast of Ireland then makes a song that will be heard only once then deleted forever. Really enjoyed this, Drummond adds to the very high pile of eccentric UK people. Poignancy was set when he says "Score xxx - Pulse!" then sings his own interpretation of his pulse. So many people think of these great ideas but it takes some cojones to act on them, Drummond just listens to his inner pulse more than most I suppose. Think.Act.Now/10

This is like true outsider trash TV. Good work on getting over the inertia to watch a show like this. I can never be bothered.

To yourself and everyone around you as well. How polite and thoughtul you are.

Hibs vs Dundee - job going in Dundee, any good?

My son My son what have ye done? All you need to know is that Brad Dourif takes this film by the balls and says "The only thing Greeks know how to play with is each others balls.." unintentionally one of the funniest films I've ever seen. Sometimes you can see the actors looking at each other trying to work out how to react next, too realistic at times - also little touches of the film using real locations and giving people water to drink as it's hot. Sometimes a person's refusal to go along with everything has to be applauded, this film says not all mental illness is bad, though the end result here is obviously terrible.

Bicycle tourers who promote themselves as motivational speakers.... condescending nature and self absorbed on my holidays etc etc.

Gordo is the only likeable character in this film defo. Likeable send up of suburban life in a modern city. Rebecca Hall is a perennial itch giver.

Rise of the Art-Fag! Long live the Art-Fag! Can we get an Art-Fag-Hag? Interestingly Cooney and Lashi are Farsi for a similar thing.

Go rinse your eyes out with a dose of Days of Heaven, makes every other Americana film curl up like a wounded animal and howl. Hitchcock's Rebecca - Lawrence Olivier snakes his oil hips towards an easy target then lets her into his shallow existence. You can almost see his slippery tongue and gaze into her eyes in every scene. Tells you more about the character of anglophiles than a thousand period dramas played by thespians. Bloody A and fires/10.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loved_Up After This is England 90, I needed more of that post clubbing mdma munching crowd, and found Loved Up, which makes me feel more British than a Brigadier with a 'tache. That bird from Game of Thrones is in it, and yes she gets them out.

A Fahrradmanufaktur - solid bikes but also heavy. A bike is not just a bike it has to feel right doesn't it, the best bike I ever had was a £100 Dawes Discovery, owned loads since and many haven't felt as good even with better frame/wheels/parts. I would consider one of those german ones though definitely.

I can recommend Cube Zero also. Slightly more headf**k than the others, decent scifi and the original premise is so good that they could film the whole film in one cube where nothing happens and I'd still like it. Reminds me of those 80s science fiction films that just went for it regardless of budget (Dark side of the Moon, Retribution, anything by Stuart Gordon)

Perlenbacher can 500ml from Lidl. 75p a can. Mass produced lager that tastes as insipid and ordinary as you would expect though perfect for sitting off in a session.

partly true. ecobar was one of the heads of the medellin cartel but the real people in charge (the godfather) was fabio ochoa and his family. the thing about the ochoa's was they disassociated themselves from cocaine (kinda similar to how carlo gambino run the family vs john gotti but all happening at the same time) whereas escobar used this as his main pawn you're right about cocaine cowboys being good. i can watch it anytime i see it on tv, but have you noticed they now have 2 edits? i first watched this film as a kid and there is a scene where one of the main characters best friends stumbles into class high as fuck off drugs, almost falls over knocking over a bunch of chairs before puking in front of the teacher. that scene shocked me as a kid and represented the out-of-control nature the unforeseen, and very post-apocalyptic future, held. today, that scene seems rather silly though a lot of things in this film did come to pass such as the very shocking idea of metal detectors in high schools and the general fucked up nature of kids in 1999. an incredibly dreamwave type of film The dreamy introduction with the robotic voice proclaiming free-fire zones makes me hold attention for the next 90 minutes. CODY! CODY! CODY! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIeXVfYIsiM Pam Grier uses her high heels on one man's testicles what's not to like? I tried to watch the earlier version by Lester - Class of 1984 but couldn't get into it as much. I believe that Seattle use to do Class of 1999 tours as the film was shot there.

Cobra's got Brigitte Nielsen in it. Looking like she just stepped off the Paradise Garage dancefloor after being up for 24 hours. The Cobra poster used to be everywhere in the early 80s, Sly Stallone and Arnie were the action blokes, look at the similarity with The Terminator poster

Got new Stephen King Big Driver to watch later, not sure if it's any good, but it has Maria Bello in it who is infinitely watchable.

Should be higher imo. So high it looks like your wearing a cricket briefs box.

It's the light in the North West that makes everything so dramatic. When in the North West at dusk look towards North Lancashire and the sky looks like a 1000 different pantone ranges of orange.

The aussie one with Hugo Weaving as the loner guilty till proven innocent person? Never has sweaty interrogation by a fat aussie bloke been done as good.

And me! It's like the director of the set just broke the illusion.

Seen all of Natali's work, apart from that Charlize Theron film with the alien pregnancy he manages to make science fiction interesting again as he is fairly original in his work. Also he always casts the actor David Hewlett who plays the sort of lonely odd bloke very well indeed. At the end of Cypher where he realises Jack Thursby is a rogue, it's bordering on theatre with his reaction. I hope he carries on making low budget films as there is an inverse relationship between money and imagination. Canada be giving us some good scifi bizness recently.

Netflix ratings remind me of reviews by Total Film magazine which are about as reliable as the word of a crack head you give money to who says that it isn't for crack. What is this western yearning for the profound when most people wouldn't know profound if I knocked on their door with a sign saying "I am me" hanging around mine neck. Thanks for the tip about the film.

I watched this just before the Academy Awards, because some of my friends were all up in arms over it. It's ok, but fuck, me it's depressing. So many better russian films! It's a bit disturbing at the start when the sponsored by the russian goverment logo pops up. The bleakness never felt so clung to. The Gift Rebecca Hall is a prisoner in this anti working from home film. Never has life felt so meaningness and shallow in a suburb of California. It's like a Hitchcock of that film The Joneses from late 2000s. The bloke from Horrible Bosses does his best David Duchovny. Sly nod to Kubrick in one scene.

The new Terminator....Arnie has stepped off the set of Tim Allen's Home Improvement and began acting as the Terminator again. It's derivative blockbuster stuff, but I had to double take when I thought that J K Simmons was taking the psychologist's role then the film explained who he was. Who's getting more sentimental in the film? Sarah Connor or Arnie? NoTechnoirClub/10
