Cult Labs - Blogs - Make Them Die Slowly http://www.cult-labs.com/forums/blogs/make-them-die-slowly/ Cult Labs is the friendliest forum on the web for discussing the latest cult releases, particularly from Shameless Screen Entertainment and Arrow Video. en Mon, 20 May 2013 07:30:56 GMT vBulletin 60 http://www.cult-labs.com/forums/images/misc/rss.jpg Cult Labs - Blogs - Make Them Die Slowly http://www.cult-labs.com/forums/blogs/make-them-die-slowly/ Four Years http://www.cult-labs.com/forums/blogs/make-them-die-slowly/1217-four-years.html Wed, 01 May 2013 23:30:46 GMT F*ck me, I just noticed it's been 4 years to the day since I joined the forum. Even though I don't post as much as I used to, I can't break the habit of logging in every day to read the odd post here and there.

I've not the time to watch films at the moment as I do 2 karate classes a week and 2 Tai Chi classes. I'm too battered and bruised most nights to even pick up the remote let alone watch a film. ]]> Make Them Die Slowly http://www.cult-labs.com/forums/blogs/make-them-die-slowly/1217-four-years.html Cult Ennui http://www.cult-labs.com/forums/blogs/make-them-die-slowly/1180-cult-ennui.html Mon, 03 Dec 2012 00:32:25 GMT I can't seem to get my cult groove on at the moment. The thought of watching those rare gems of filth and wonder that normally send a shiver down my spine and cause both a physical and metaphysical hard-on, just ain't cutting it with me at present. Men of my age normally start to suffer erectile dysfunction but I seem to have DVD dysfunction. It's like a mid-life crisis but rather than dumping Mrs MTDS for a younger woman, I've ditched the DVD player for a Blu-ray player. Sure, it was shiny and fun to start with but now I'm bored with it and it's fine looks and excellent picture, I want something deeper, more meaningful...

I spend endless hours looking at my 'to watch pile', expecting it to change into something of interest and lift me out of this pit of film self pity but nothing ever happens.

Any suggestions on how to sex up my film viewing so that I get my throb back would be gratefully received. ]]> Make Them Die Slowly http://www.cult-labs.com/forums/blogs/make-them-die-slowly/1180-cult-ennui.html See ya soon. http://www.cult-labs.com/forums/blogs/make-them-die-slowly/1135-see-ya-soon.html Tue, 22 May 2012 20:26:04 GMT I'm having a break from posting on the forum for a bit as other interests of mine excite me more at the moment.

Take care.

MTDS.

I'm not talking about the use of music or lighting etc but why do certain films or parts of films leave me in a trance like state?

Without wishing to seem weird, could there be a spiritual dimension to film. I know it sounds odd but it's a legitimate why of describing other forms of art, especially music or painting. So why not film?

Interestingly there are few film makers in the cult world who even dare look at spiritual aspects of life or other levels of reality within the human mind. "El Topo" and the recent "Valhalla Rising" attempt to look at a reality beyond our daily one but these are not really the films that trip me out as they are too controlled with a clear vision of their meaning, even if that meaning is only clear to the director!

Does any one else ever get a spaced out feeling when watching films or should I just check my bread each day for ergot. ]]> Make Them Die Slowly http://www.cult-labs.com/forums/blogs/make-them-die-slowly/557-film-maker-shaman.html
