Watched the big lebowski

I believe it’s a cult classic but sorry I just don’t get it. Just not my cup of tea I guess

The Earth Dies Screaming : a British 60s sci-fi film where a dastardly plot by aliens, who we never see, release a gas that kills virtually everyone on Earth. Cue a country village (Shere in Surrey) where a motley band of people, including an American for the export market, who have fortuitously escaped the gas gather in a hotel. They are then menaced by the slowest and least convincing robots (all two of them) ever to have been built.

Said robots have the ability to raise the dead as some sort of proto-zombies. In fact they just forced the actors to wear weird contact lenses and following the lead of the robots, walk menacingly slowly trying to kill the protagonists - defenceless women in the main.

The denouement matches the rest of the film : the ubiquitous American figures out that the aliens are controlling the robots by means of radio waves via a transmitter, which is conveniently located little more than a mile away. How he figured it out was a mystery, but nevertheless he did and blew up the transmitter. Thankfully it lasted little over an hour ; to save you watching it the trailer condenses it in two and a bit minutes.

Looks like Anfield on a match day.

Vendetta starring Danny Dyer.

Decent film if you like revenge movies. Not so good if you don't like Danny Dyer & his 'Cockney stare'.

Haha to be honest its nostalgia thing for people of a certain age, besides there are a lot of people who dont even own physical copies of films, just watch on stream sand download, which is poor really, missing out on all the art.
I've got loads of old tapes, including plenty of NTSC tapes I cant even play, lots of 70s black exploitation films and 50s sci fi, there in these great card sleeves, look ace on a shelf!

There's quite a few older people who still use them. If they've got arthritis in their hands then DVD's and fiddly remotes for streaming can be a pain to use. VHS are much easier to hold and once it clunks in it'll start playing automatically. Get a VCR with big buttons on and it helps a lot.

But the nostalgia market and displaying seems to be 99% of it I'd reckon.

Possessor.

Not perfect but thoroughly enjoyable. One that's going to stick in my head for a long long time.

Tried to watch the Godzilla reboots, the 2014 and 2019 ones.
Found myself doing a crossword half way through the first. Couldn't last more than 10 mins of 2019 'King of the Monsters'. Absolute turds, on fire. Terrible.

Geronimo - 1993
I'd actually never seen it for some reason. Was an enjoyable western/history

Just finished The Green Knight and loved it. Felt like I was tripping my balls off the entire time. Definitely going to be a marmite film though.

Glad you enjoyed it Nymzee - hope you got it in good quality
