I'm watching Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, a 1970 surreal Czech film - strange and erotic and absorbing.

There was nothing redeemable about this bucket of shit, it was horrid, my only joy is that I did not actually pay for it but I pirated it. Never have my illegal activities felt so justified. Seriously shitttttt!!!!!
Watching the trailer was enough for me. Too much actually. :nono:

Don't talk to me about Robin Hood.
It was the most complete wank I've seen in a long time.

He'd give it a furry paw up.

It's amazing what used to be considered acceptable (even if only in 'art' films) that would never fly now.

Just got a copy of Moon, which I believe is meant to be jolly good.

Thought "Moon" was interesting. It's a point that will need looking at in the future, certainly.

Wonderful film, everything about it is spot on, Sci Fi flicks usually have a moment of "wait wut?" but with this I found myself going "yeah, that could happen".
At least I'm housebroken.

I just watched 1984, an adaptation of my favourite book.
It starred John Hurt and Richard Burton. It should've been brilliant with those two alone, it wasn't. It had all the stuff from the book, even the same lines in many parts, but it was stripped of all its deep psychological and vertiginous paranoia. Even the torture scenes weren't hard-hitting and there was never the sense of sinisterness in O'Brien and Room 101 that accompanied these in the book either.
It was quite dull, actually.

Those scenes creeped me out completely. It's been a while since I've seen it but I thought it was a pretty faithful version. Grim as hell but accurate. Face cage rats give me the heebyjeebies.
