Brilliantly self referential but with really good characters. A shame it got cancelled but utterly bonkers it even got 3 seasons.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 18, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted April 18, 2023 Bruce Campbell is the key ingredient, he's just perfect for that role. But these reboots have just gone for straight horror, which is fine but they instantly lose the charm of the original trilogy and the goofy effects and humour. By the way, Odeon are doing a run of WALL-E for its 15th anniversary next week and I'm definitely not doing a two and a half hour round trip to the Trafford Centre to see it on my own, absolutely not.

Bruce Campbell is just incredibly watchable I went to Halloween Horror Nights a year when Ash vs Evil Dead had a maze and it was one of the most fun of the whole event. The TV show was, considering the budget limitations and such, really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Reminds me that I have all three seasons of Ash Vs. Evil Dead on blu-ray and really need to get back into it. Remember really enjoying the first season. I actually enjoyed the previous Evil Dead reboot but yeah it's just not as memorable as the OG.

TildeGuy~! Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I enjoyed Ash Vs Evil Dead when it first aired but it died a death just before Season 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factotum Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I love Scorsese. Just the absolute best. His work as a Director speaks for itself, but his restoration of so many nearly lost films and curating of those from around the world is even more admirable. Might watch AFTER HOURS tonight as a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 This bit made me cry. "DEADLINE: You’re 80. Do you still have that fire to get right back behind the camera and get the next one going? SCORSESE: Got to. Got to. Yeah. I wish I could take a break for eight weeks and make a film at the same time [laughs]. The whole world has opened up to me, but it’s too late. It’s too late. DEADLINE: What do you mean by that? SCORSESE: I’m old. I read stuff. I see things. I want to tell stories, and there’s no more time. Kurosawa, when he got his Oscar, when George [Lucas] and Steven [Spielberg] gave it to him, he said, “I’m only now beginning to see the possibility of what cinema could be, and it’s too late.” He was 83. At the time, I said, “What does he mean?” Now I know what he means." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Yeah, with age comes understanding and knowledge that unfortunately time cuts short in order to action it. I think the last 30 minutes of The Irishman is one of the great meditations on age and regret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new Scorsese film is always a great event. This Spike Lee interview is well worth a watch. Spike is probably my favourite film maker ever, even if I don't always love everything he does. I like how he really doesn't give a shit what people think (like Marty) and he should be treasured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
