Paid Members CuckedByMenry Posted December 26, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted December 26, 2010 Inception - I found it to be ever so slightly overhyped, and the ending went too quickly for my liking: Â <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler I'm not a huge fan of "viewer decides/cut-to-black" endings, even though the spinner more than likely fell on account of the wobbling. Â [close spoiler] ");document.close(); Other than that, I thought it was very good with swish performances. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is fast becoming a favourite with me. Â The Expendables - The final 20 minutes or so were enjoyable, but for the majority of the film I was trying not to fall asleep. It needed more Terry Crews.

The King Of Swing Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship and Videotape. Â Esential viewing for anyone with an interest in the video nasties era or censorship in general and an amazing documentation/expose of one of the most absurd, confusing and at times just plain nasty (no pun intended) periods in modern British history. Â Its worth watching just for the shocking lack of self awarness displayed by those responsible for the witch hunts who still to this believe that they are in the right while on the more serious side of things there are stories about people actually going to prison. Â Also of interest is the section about the so called "research" into the effect video nasties had on children which of course is complete and utter rubbish but is still a disturbing reminder of how easily laws can be passed based on bullshit and media hysteria.

The best bit is when that total idiot Graham Bright is revealed to have lied about the effect on pet dogs of video nasties to try and get them banned.

I chose to write one of my essays on the evolution of the horror genre and, in my research, I found loads of similar reports and interviews and such about the video nasty era. It seems so interesting how the whole thing came about really. Where can I get hold of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted December 30, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted December 30, 2010 Saw Cloudy with a chance of meatballs earlier. I thought it was really good. Whoever wrote it is a lunatic though, it's pretty odd. Brilliantly animated though and funny enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says it has some trailers but is the packaging special in any way or something? I'm a sucker for those gimmick DVD packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 No idea what makes the set "special" sorry and I only picked it up as an impulse buy today because its an era that has always interested me and I can just about remember the "under the counter films" shenanigans of the 80's.

Â Play.com have both special and non-special, only difference I see is a set of Post cards! Â Anyway, I`ll pick this up as i`ve always had a fasination with the nasties. i lived this stuff when I was younger, hunting, searching, trading and even going into `secret back rooms` of Video stores to buy banned tapes! Â You kids have no idea how easy you have it, what with the internet and those torrents! Imagine waiting 6 years to see a film only to discover its a 4th generation copy and shit! Ah, memories!
