  1. If anyone here is a Shudder subscriber then I would strongly recommend In Search of Darkness, a documentary on 80's Horror. At just over 4 hours, it covers a lot of ground. Dozens of films are covered, some well known, some not so much. Talking heads include John Carpenter, Stuart Gordon, Joe Dante and Larry Cohen. 

    Will be watching the Tom Savini documentary next. 

  2. Well, we can only hope. These lockdowns have destroyed many businesses and livelihoods, not to mention the impact on peoples mental health. It's encouraging that things could start to improve at least. 

  3. Just on the last episode of 1996 now. Been watching from the first Nitro and I've enjoyed it on the whole. I never watched much of it at the time. 

    I've enjoyed the cruiserweight stuff (they were way ahead of the WWF in that regard). 

    Really like the nWo stuff, though it kind of got ruined by having way too many members and the likes of Big Bubba and Scott Norton hardly screams 'elite group'. 

    There seems to be a lot of random matches where two guys just get paired together with no story or build. 

    As I said, it's an enjoyable show for the most part. Looking forward to seeing what 1997 brings.

    Actor-wise, Leonardo DiCaprio. Used to think he was just a pretty-boy getting by on his looks, but saw Catch Me If You Can, and was intrigued enough to watch other films. Happy to admit I was wrong.

    That's how I felt about DiCaprio. After I had the misfortune of seeing Titanic, which I found him bloody annoying in, I would refuse to watch any film with him in it for many years after. I found myself in a dilemma when I found out that he'd feature in one of the main roles in Django Unchained. I would always make a point of seeing Tarantino's films at the cinema. So I went along and thought DiCaprio was superb. I had to re-evaluate my opinion of him. I've since watched other films with him in and I now rate him very highly as an actor. 

  5. For some reason I found Eraserhead very uncomfortable to watch to the point where I felt physically unwell. 

    In terms of films that greatly disturbed me due to the content and subject matter, I could never again watch The War Zone. Although well made and very well acted, it was just so unbelievably bleak and some of the scenes stuck with me for long time afterwards that i couldn't bring myself to revisit it.

    I've been to the one in Wells next the sea. Very nice it was to. I remember going to Southwold as a boy and the fish being very good there to. 

  7. I noticed the Shameless titles on Prime the other week. I watched New York Ripper a couple of days ago as I'm a big Fulci fan. More an Argento style Giallo though very brutal in places and you still can't get an uncut copy in the UK. I've got Torso on my watch list so may give that a go tonight.
