Xanadu. That song. Steve bloody Wrong kept playing it whilst I was working. So it got me thinking. A mate's brother always raved about it (and 'the horse song' in Legend ... ) so I ignored that as he also poked fibreglass into his hand once then asked "is this dangerous?". He died in a car accident.
So I was in no hurry to see any movie called Xanadu.
Watching it was unique. I never liked musicals growing up owing to an early exposure to Seven Brides ......

Well that's what I get for not checking them. as the second half of the show is at 33 ahem. GRRRR

..... the slipcase was proof of their assignation. Stuttering, she folded the chrysalis into a hidden pouch.
The leaves felt like Mother. Did he really just say that? Encrusted by temprament ... options shrivel.

The only true loss is the one you never forget.

Demon. OUT.

Thee Hamish Is REBORN .........

Lest we not forget that Isrealis wouldn't really care about "international incidents" hem, hem.
As hamfisted (funny that ) as Cannon seem to be, you certainly can't say that they don't pull out all the stops.
But I digress. The real "journey" here is Steve James, as in the space of 3 films he becomes adept at the old kung fu from a standing start.
MD though. Is it the sliiiiight resemblance to a young Wings Hauser?? Or is he jist naturally glackit? As...

Jodelle Ferland. Don't know the name? You will by the end of this screed I hope. It started innocently enough when a mate purchased the Terry Gilliam film Tideland (2005). If you haven't seen it, Jeff Bridges plays an unorthodox parent who passes, leaving his daughter to wander off into a world of her own making. At the time we were all impressed by the performance of said actor....which seemed to belie her years etc.

Time passes, and I'm sitting in my mates watching the awful Case...

Not so much a blog, but something else...feel free to comment on whatever aspect of this you feel....

Okay, so mayyybe I overreacted, but when I come on here all I want is some respite from the mediocre.
Is it not enough that there are entire TV channels devoted to ERS? Cough, to wit.... Dave, E4, Really, ITV, BBC3 (with a few exceptions......) already???

I didn't even know we had a US TV section....

If it ain't Breaking Bad etc.......

This year I have a quandry...........this year I finally decided on (drum roll)

Water Power (Shaun Costello)
&
The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave

But what to show in between? (in between people throwing up haha)

I usually try and lighten the mood, but am limited to a half hour break, and can't really show The Amazing Screw-on Head AGAIN...

Any tips??
I know it's a bit late, but with everything I've had to cope...

Still can't really believe I'm finally getting to see this at the cinema. So can only hope that the DCA pull their finger out this time. Oh, and I may physically attack anyone who spoils this for me hahahaha, "for real!" as we Burnistoun fans say

Well the training for this radio station has stepped up a bit, now we have a record player hahahaha. this gives me an excellent opportunity to take all my pain out on civillians Harumph!

At the very least I'l be giving them the chance to bask in the glory that is Travel Sex by Maria & The Mirrors, haha.

Sorry to all that I missed at the GFT btw! I will be down for the next event, so fingers crossed etc

Sigh.

I've become besotted with a 17 year old girl. Physically she is my absolute "perfect woman" cough cough (petite demure brunette, a "good girl" ahem), and according to my mate she is "into" me (I'l be 44 in November), though he does claim to be psychic

This has taken me quite a bit of courage to tell you all this, and unlike a certain royal here, I'm not doing this to ask for sympathy (though i do feel for him, I'm not...

Ah, Srpski...the film that keeps on giving....

I have mates who i'm going to visit shortly, and they are fairly "moral" but not idiots, and they have only seen the UK print. Do i take my u/c one down with me, or do i just take L&DOAPG, as it's the better film?? I haven't seen them in ages, and want to leave a lasting impression fnarr fnarr.

it just goes to show, you can't tell. I've been a vegetarian for over 20 years, did this stop me buying Cannibal...

whilst innocently watching the culture show (checking out this Wicker Man play thing, starts at His Majesty's in Aberdeen next week apparently!) i came across M Kermode's annual "awards" ceremony, now USUALLY i agree or nod appreciatedly at his choices BUT (and zis ees a BEEEEG but) i CANNOT in all good conscience condone his decision in giving Best Film to WNTTAK...easily the most PREDICTABLE film ive seen in years, the only thing thats "shocking" about it is Tilda Swinton's...

since rereading my last blog (the shitter8 one) and having noticed its incoherence, i&i have resolved to being more evenhanded and fair in my treatment of mainstream cinema. why, just this last year hollywood gave us lovely N E W versions of crappy old films (pooh! who wants to see them...) such as The Thing and Straw Dogs. What an improvement! none of that nasty subtext etc.
since they went to all the trouble of this, why stop there? lets spruce up every film! shia la bouf as citizen...

do we really have to put up with lazy blockbuster directors and their wish fulillment fantasies? i refer of course to S**** 8. having never been a Lost fan (im a Dick man, so shite about timetravel is passe IMO) i was pleasantly surprised to actually like Cloverfield (though i did see it in a decent cinema which may have had some bearing on this decision...anyone remember The Host?) i cannot begin to say what i disliked about this film, though i better as this is the nature of these things. was...

dont know about the rest of you but have your local council gone a bit insane this fiscal year?? in these austeric times, my lot have decided to give us all new central heating!! this involves the bloody nuisance of having to shift all my stuff (mainly because the sockets are in the wrong place in the room) as they say they wont be responsible for any damage!!! *****. if like me you have a LARGE collection of media, you can imagine what im going through at moment...luckily i have mate just round...

ah, glastonbury....corporate bollocks or what??
ahem. i just dont like u2/coldplay. so i watched a fair chunk of Dexter (series 5)...tis a bit "all over the shop" and filled with guests...get your own series julia!! but then after Lithgow's star turn anything would have been a let down....but i feel that the writers felt the same so there's a "...and the kitchen sink" approach...
it may even out, but not really bothered as new Breaking Bad is imminent...after refreshing...

me again.
is there anything more annoying than watching a film you cant understand? and i dont mean in a Pearl Harbour kind of way either.
due to my craving for unpleasant shit, i now have Zvot I Smrt Porno Bande (or life and death of a porno gang) which is more life affirming than the-other-one, though thats nae saying much ahahaha ahem. have watched it 3 times now, and what emerges is a very black comedy, with something for everyone..if youre into bestiality, snuff etc. 8/10....

well. this is where the fun begins folks, as i admit that i finally saw Bloody Moon at the weekend, the European Shock 1, which would have been the first uncut dvd release??? can see why me mate went on&on&on about it aw these years, totally batshit in places, it it now my favourite Franco film!!

(pauses to duck out of way of angered comments, broken glass, turds etc.......)


also if anyone watches the rather funny Burnistoun, did anyone spot/get the...
