    DVDs and Films You Have Watched Recently 3 - The Final Insult

    in Off Topic

    Posted · Edited by Tuxedomoon

    Another great Aussie low budgeter I saw recently was called Long Weekend. This film was genuinely fantastic. It's one of those that you are best off not knowing anything about - it's sort of an ecological mystery-thriller type thing. They remade it a few years ago with Jim Caviezel and it was shit. One of the most unexpectedly great films I've seen this year. Absolutely everyone should watch it and you know what I'm like when I start going on about a film that you should watch. It's on YouTube:-

    Didn't really love Long Weekend - thought it had aged horribly. Ever see Wake in Fright?

    McMemphis!

     

    More proof that most of the best stuff came out of Tennessee. Roughhouse Fargo is one of my favourite things ever. Heels are bastards so they get Roughouse in town! A ref everywhere else, but in the Mid South Coliseum, a guaranteed house.

     

    I'd love a gimmick like Roughouse today. Some mental Jack Russell of a man from a nuthouse who's on two or three cards a year being a total fucking mental and settling scores for the Good Guys.

     

    Something that I really love the sound of is Blackjack Mulligan's crazy cousin Luke, who sounds like much the same gimmick - played by Killer Tim Brooks, Mulligan would bust him out of the nuthouse on a three-day pass to fuck up whoever he was feuding with at the time.

    Just watched Attack of the Beast Creatures - it was beautifully, astoundingly terrible.

     

    Picture it: The North Atlantic, 1920, for some reason. A ship goes down in the icy ocean, and we follow the travails of a bunch of real tossers. There's some pseudo-flappers, some men with facial hair, a ropey old tart who seems almost like a drag artiste, and a crotchety old bastard who hates everyone. Oh, and a dying man who gets forgotten about on the beach. Really hilariously terrible shit ensues. It's the most ridiculously awesome cheapo crap I've ever seen, with half-assed everything. Think you could do better? You probably could. It's on YouTube.

    They head into the interior of the island for food and shelter, but first, one of their number tastes a refreshing plunge facefirst into a lake full of acid. Another castaway witnesses his meltyface demise, but decides that no-one should know about it. Ditto for the dying man on the beach, who is now decidedly deceased, eaten down to his bones, by...

     

    The awe-inspiring weird little pygmy doll things that constitute the big bad in this film. They are strange little red tiki dolls with ping pong ball eyes and pointy teeth, and the crew obviously consisted mainly of people to toss them at the cast, or to puppeteer their arms pumping running, complete with running sound effects like a scooby doo cartoon. They don't so much maul the cast, as kind of agitate them like a bunch of over friendly puppies, but it certainly drives Morgan, the crotchety old man, over the edge. They gnaw at his leg so frequently that he eventually hallucinates that one of the flappers is a beast creature, and runs straight into the lake.

     

    This film contains one of the most perfect scenes ever committed to film, as the cast stand around waiting for... something... to happen. Eventually, a broad daylight BC attack, complete with cast members holding as many creatures as possible onto themselves, leaves the characters very much beaten up (and the old woman dead), and the beasts retreat to count their dead. As the survivors lick their wounds for 10 seconds or so, the BCs decide that they're not quite done yet, and basically repeat the whole scene, shot for shot. It's hysterical.

    I find it impossible to believe that's Ribena Butch is drinking. I love photo's of UKFF hook ups.

    Snakebite and black, that was the day we thrashed England in the six nations, that's why I've got a drunk eye.
    Not sure about elsewhere, but up here that's known as a 'Diesel'.I like to think Kevin Nash had some part to play in that.
    For some reason, down my Dad's local 'Diesel' was a mix of bitter and mild. I don't understand that.

    I'm still gunshy of showing any pictures of Butch to my mrs., as she's weak at the knees for manly men with beards, and I'm afraid she'd be off to Wales in record time.

     

    EDIT - However, I console myself with the slight similarity of Butch to Jonny McGovern, The Gay Pimp.

    Game of Thrones - Season EIGHT (No book wankers)

    I didn't see what was spoiled, but if it's any consolation, the stuff that's being adapted for S4 has about a dozen huge shocker moments that'll make you shit your fucking pants, so don't feel ruined by one being spoiled.I'd be fucking livid though. Anyone even thinks of doing that in here again, even 'by accident', I'll ban you, your children, and your children's children, until your family bloodline is rightfully dead, so tread carefully.

    Oh shit...

    You replying to "I hope that's speculation because if not it's a massive spoiler" by confirming that it isn't speculation leads me to believe that you did it on purpose. I struggle to believe that someone could be quite as thick as that. I'm still pro-banning.

    He'll probably accidentally mention it again :angry:

    It's taken from a bit at the live show (not aired on PPV or the VHS release) where they introduce various dignitaries. It included Hayes, Larry Hennig and Pat "I'm back now, I've definitely been away the whole time" Patterson among others. Most people had no clue who they were.

    Hayes is a decent choice for that - he definitely has some UK recognition, as my parents remembered him as "Judo" Al Hayes.

    What would be more scary - important politicians, generals and business leaders sitting down to discuss important world affairs.... or important politicians, generals and business leaders not sitting down to discuss important world affairs?The UN is such a whorehouse of self-interest and politicking, it's actually reassuring to think that there are actually forums for people to discuss shit in private and maybe find some common ground. As you can see in places like Syria or Palestine, the worst thing is people not talking.

    I guess it depends what you believe they're all meeting up to discuss. Personally (and I may just be getting cynical with old age) I tend to believe that they're a collection of wealthy and powerful people who's only interest is ensuring that they stay that way. Perhaps they'll be discussing which middle-eastern country needs liberated next? Or which attendee should benefit from said liberation? I think it was Cheney who profited from Iraq last time, so it'll no doubt be some else's turn.
    They all profited, and it's all their turn, all of the time.
