It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been avoiding you all because I needed to "sort my head out"! To do this I have been employing many methods; CBT (some use), Mindfullness (some use), Horticultural Therapy (in a big, peaceful garden, very useful), and a few courses (including 3-d printing and rustic stool making) with a lovely couple, Rachel and Steve, known as The Company of Makers https://www.companyofmakers.com/ (have a look at the stuff that Rachel produces out of old uniforms, she's...

Following the ceremony on Sunday (February 4, 2018), I thought it would be a good idea to have a list of the 90 films which have won the Oscar for Best Picture, most recently Guillermo del Toro's sublime Cold War fantasy romance The Shape of Water. There was no category for Best Picture in 1928, with Wings taking the award for Outstanding Picture (the category which would become Best Picture in 1962 after other name variations) and Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans winning the Unique and Artistic Picture...

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

I'm looking for film title can't really remember much about it I saw it when I was 9-10 years old and that was 20 odd years ago, what I do remember a man putting eyes into what seems to be a dummy and it comes to life and a small boy in a boat throwing away his glasses. I think it was set in a theatre.

10 . if.... (1968)

Lindsay Anderson is one of the most underrated satirists in film history as his trilogy of films following Mick Travis (if...., O Lucky Man! and Britannia Hospital) all have an undercurrent of jet black humour and pointing out the foibles and utter stupidity of some major British institutions. In the case of if...., Anderson targets the public school system and, with Malcolm McDowell making his film debut, before he shot to fame in A Clockwork Orange, had an actor...

This is being posted from another review blog that I spent some time on as one of the horror reviewers before they focused more on podcasts, but I thought you guys might enjoy it. Here it is!

Brainscan (1994)



Brainscan is a film that I had heard of for the longest time, but never actually got around to seeing. The DVD was always appearing on my suggestions under...

Don't know what the hell that title was, I just threw in as many words as possible to make it sound interesting.

So, I don't know about the other blogs on here. I just finished setting up my account today. I'm probably going to take a look around and see what others are up to and get a good idea but I was thinking of posting some of my movie reviews or thoughts here on things that are currently happening or movies that I've stumbled onto. It's basically going to consist...

Clean before the seagulls popped over Mr Mini










Just replaced my mini one for a Mini Cooper,not brand new but 2004,but good enough for me.

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...

I know I haven't written a blog in quite some time and I know people won't believe me but I need to get this off my chest.

In 2002 I met a lovely woman named Jodie Betteridge and we spoke about music, films love lives etc. Jodie was a goth and got me into the band Cradle Of Filth and through her I had heard of the bands Korn, Darkthrone etc.

She was really easy going and nice to talk too. She met my baby Lexi when she was 1st born.... anyway the reason I am telling...

Before I post this to my blog I would like to point out that I am not looking for sympathy, empathy or support, I'm just trying to explain my absence from the Lab.

Since being "retired" from work I have had too much time to wallow in self pity and the past, I have gone way passed the "self pity" part but the past has caught me up!

The film Pink Flamingos is a 1972 cult film by John Waters.
I am studying the film for my A2 film studies course and I wanted to get people's ideas on it.

My hypothesis is:
Controversy For Controversies' Sake:
Are John Waters' films there to simply shock or do they have more to say?

What do people think? Focusing on Pink Flamingos, who thinks that Waters wants to simply shock, or who thinks he has more to say?

So apart from seeing what was lurking in the bull rushes,I think Captain Pugwash is in town judging by this boat i saw down by the boatyard.
I was hoping for abit of harryhausen shenanigans with the mermaid,but no such luck.

Fame at last,my short but sweet review for the bike is on Halfords website.Watch them sponsorship deals start rolling in,soon i will be the face of Hob nob biscuits.

Me and the fat F**cker went for a ride this morning,nothing to strenuous just get abit of fresh air and blow the cobwebs away.

In my desire to combat the onslaught of old age and senility (you at the back stop tittering) I have recently bought myself a bicycle.In my youth I did cut a fine figure,charging around peak and dale,with my handle bar moustache blowing in the wind as I chased the fair maidens on my penny farthing.

When it comes to classic genre films which are 'essential viewing', there isn't a definitive list, but, in 1999, Empire released a Special Collector's Edition supplement called The Greatest Horror Films Ever, which is a really good 'beginners guide' to horror. In it, there are 50 films in different categories of films, which I'll list here.

Creature Features
Frankenstein
Nosferatu
Dracula (1931)
The Mummy
The Bride of Frankenstein

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...

As you all know, I am about to be a daddy and today me and mam were talking about my dad and this is where I am conflicted.

My dad lives in Wales and he left me when I was 2. From then on he saw me every month and I even went to Manchester with him (where he is originally from) and my mam used to arrange the meets etc.

But overall he didn't seem to care about me and he adopted 2 children who he seemed to care more about.

Well the meetings stopped in...

I know sport talk is forbidden but don't worry it's got nothing to do with sport score or teams - it's just me mentioning UFC and WWE.

As you all know I watch WWE and UFC, but what really pisses me off is people claim MMA is fake and actually say it to my face.

I have found out they have an MMA club just down the road to me and I said to Claire "I am joining one" and she said no I don't want you too" and my sarcastic comment was "it's fake remember"...

I have just started Breaking Bad to see what all the hype is about and this opinion is going to get me hate.

To be honest I can't see the hype, I am on Season 2 and everytime I go to watch an episode I get the well I cannot be arsed feeling and I find myself just going through the motions, then by the end I think thank God that is over.

A TV show should not feel like that, it should draw you in with a vice grip. It might get better but at the minute i can't see that...

Just had the strangest dream. I was at a school and I walked into a classroom where I could feel a presence but couldn't see it and a girl (of age) went to put her hands down my pants until a teacher walked in and interrupted by saying "happy 40 years together and I hope there will be much more"

The next thing I know I am dead and I start to float through doors and I can now see the spirits of other dead people wondering the corridors and it's evening outside. I go back...

make time

this show is excellent in its own right, but imo its also a truly exceptional tribute to the original.

the way the writers and actors are developing well loved characters through their formative prison years is amazing and feels authentic.

some characters are unrecognisable at first in looks...

This is going to be a short blog on what I have noticed over the yrs and it all goes down to one thing.

Every house of a woman's / ladies I've been too I've noticed they don't have game consoles in their bedrooms or under the TV.

I know us lads like the Playstations, X Boxes and Nintendo Wii consoles or whatever else you have but women don't seem to own anything like that.

If you haven't noticed and you pull a lass that you don't know on a night out and...

As you all know I hate arguing and I try to stay away from it but every now and then it's unavoidable.

Anyway Claire and I have been arguing for the past 4 days. Over she wants a baby and I don't. She has just found out her sister is preg and she has it in her head that she wants a baby.

Claire watches shows like ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE and gets sucked into it all. Now she has found this out she keeps going on and on about it.

I know this sounds nasty but...

An ex-con sets out to avenge his brother's death after they were double-crossed during a heist years ago. During his campaign, however, he's tracked by a veteran cop and an egocentric hit man.

Revenge isn't a dish best served cold, it's a dish best served up by The Rock. Faster is the latest from the musclebound wrestler-turned-Action star, and it's a fast, no-nonsense, hard-hitting Action flick that's almost all about payback, justice, big guns, fast cars, pumped muscles, and relentless...

As you all know I have an ex called Linda who I was with for 5 1/2 yrs and we split because we argued a lot. You also know they got married and had children.

Well out the blue on Facebook I got a message from her husband saying if I don't leave her alone him, her dad and brother are going to beat me up. Even though I haven't spoke to her since 2009.

I think he needs to grow up. Also today I saw her brother and I asked about the message and he said "him and his...

As you all know we all buy DVD and Blu Ray's and on here it's a film buff's heaven as we all share the same love.

So I buy the films I like and my mam and step dad go mental by saying "you buy too many" and "you need to stop" and "you buy crap".

Everytime I buy them they over react and acting like I've just murdered the Queen then had a wank over her body and it really annoys me. So now I have given up showing them what I have bought....

Before continuing to bore the arses off of any passing labbers who haven't got the energy to click away with my riveting tales of school life I thought I'd give you a heads up on what troggi's cave is like!

To give you a bit of a geographical perspective anyone who has travelled by train to Portsmouth has probably seen our house. I suspect that Ms. Jackson has seen it many times when either approaching Fratton Station from Portsmouth & Southsea or leaving Fratton Station going...

I thought I'd use this blog space to collate the shite that fills my head, some days to overload.

After roughly 25 years I've been thinking about writing poetry again. I used to do performance poetry in my younger days. My last performance involved walking across town carrying a 6 foot plus cross before being crucified after reciting the poem, "The Divine Lord Jason of the True Believers Ejaculating Jesus Cathedral Wants Your Soul". All this was done to the sound of a mate's...

I am going to zip through this period of the late 1960s as there were few changes until 1970.

It was '67-'68 when I became a junior schoolboy and we had a pretty new young teacher called Miss Griffiths. She was obviously too pretty because she soon became mrs. something-or-other and had to leave to have a baby but for now she was our Miss Griffiths. She took us on a trip to the City Museum at Weston Park, near the Sheffield University Arts Tower and the Henderson's Relish Factory...

I am going to try to limit myself to not wandering off at tangents and not spending too many keystrokes on seemingly trivial incidents, who wants to bet I can't do it?

September, 1966 The Year of "Simba!"

It was "Tag season" at school only, oop north weir it's grim thi don't call it "tag," it's "tiggy" oop theer! To be honest tiggy season was a "fill in" thing, we played tiggy all the time, well tiggy and "hiddy"...

It's 1966, just after Easter, and my third school in a year! We now live at number 89 Mason Lathe Road, Shiregreen, Sheffield. My dad now works at Ambrose Shardlow, crankshaft manufacturers in the Forge, he works on the 54 ton "Big Beshy" hammer and at night we can hear it and almost feel it's seismic force even though we live about a mile away from it. This hammer was the biggest in Europe at the time and stamped out of orange-hot steel billets some of the bigger crankshafts that the...

The Tinsley Viaduct. The M1 runs on the top deck the lower deck carries a local link between Tinsley and Blackburn, both industrial areas of Sheffield and Rotherham respectively.

Oh! That's right there's been a bit of talk about friendship and it's meaning to me and it had me feeling a little nostalgic and isolated so I thought that I might tell anyone who wants to read this drivel about some of my friends, past and present.

Last night Claire & I went out to the local pub as there was a band on. Crap band but still a band. We went into a smaller room where you could hear it but also talk.

A friend saw Claire and she asked him if he had seen Curly (I'll explain who he is later) and he said no. Later Claire's brother came in and she asked him the same question. To which he replied yes he's in there pointing to the main room.

Well she couldn't get in there fast enough. Curly is a man...

I have always been fascinated by this film. It is so brutal but great at the same time. I personally think it has better effects than any other gore film made now. I have taken a picture I have got about the film and its Director Ruggero Deodato. I hope other fans of this truly unique film will comment.

I was walking home from my girlfriends house and when I got to a building called Cheshire homes I saw a spirit walk past the entrance. Every night I see the same spirit walking past the same entrance, it then vanishes in the same spot.

I know it seems out there but im curious and I've believed in ghosts since I can remember

So my question is why do ghosts do the same thing and vanish in the same spot?

I was stood at the bus station at Middlesbrough waiting to come home then an argument broke out.

There was a 90 odd yr old man who was deaf stood behind me and all of a sudden an ignorant woman pushed the old man out the way without saying excuse me or anything.

The old man then fell and cracked his head hard on the wall, blood was pouring everywhere.

The woman didn't say sorry or anything, she just got on her bus and left everyone else to clean up after...

This piece originally appeared in the Criterion Collection’s 2008 DVD edition of Saló.

The year before he made Salò, or The 120 Days of Sodom, Pasolini hinted at the scandalous contours his last film would assume. In the course of a 1974 debate, he declared that now, as never before, “artists must create, critics defend, and democratic people support . . . works so extreme that they become unacceptable even to the broadest minds of the new State.” In large part, of course, Pasolini’s...

Last night I watched Warrior which is an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) film about two brothers played by Tom Hardy & Joel Edgerton that don't get along.

Tommy (Joel) is an ex marine that is haunted by his past of almost drowning and dying which has made him go off the rails. Brendan on the other hand is an ex MMA fighter who is now a teacher and also has the perfect family but he has a problem, he has no money coming in and could lose his house.

That is until they both...

Not many people will know that I am a ghost believer and when I heard about this show I was in my element. What had happened was my friend had told me of this show where a medium and a crew of camera men would go into a haunted house / hotel or whatever it may be and spend the night.

So one night when it was going to be on my friend invited me round to watch an episode (I can't for the life of me remember which episode it was)...

Last month I got a letter printed in Play Magazine (a PS3 Mag) about an idea for trophies.

Well in this month's edition somebody has nicked my letter, rewrote it slightly different but still kept my idea.

Even Play has noticed and said "Stu Vernon wrote that last month are you sure you haven't took his letter and re arranged it.

So even the magazine has noticed hence my idea couldn't have been that bad if people are taking it. I should have TM it....

When "How I Met Your Mother" fans learned that Season 9 would take place entirely over the course of Barney and Robin's wedding weekend, it left many wondering about the final season of the show.

Would fans get to see the relationship between Ted and the Mother, or will he just meet her in the very last episode? How can a season of 20-plus episodes span a three-day weekend? Would any unanswered plot points from previous seasons be forgotten?

At least one...

It has been officially announced by Universal that there will be no Jean-Claude Van Damme in Timecop remake, the upcoming movie obviously inspired by the sci-fi flick released back in 1994.

Everyone knows that all the movies from the Belgian actor became some kind of a “cult”, so is it wise to plan a remake of Peter Hyams’ film without Jean? Maybe Universal needs to stop and think for a second to what happened to Sony and the near disastrous performance of Total Recall without Schwarzenegger....

Just now I have read Nosferatu's blog on how he became a film addict. Well that has made me want to write my blog on here about my journey.

Now I've never figured out where my film addiction comes from as my mam, dad or step dad don't watch many films and couldn't tell you who is who.

But my 1st foray into film and the addict came from one christmas when I was young. Mam was ironing and I sat watching TV - Father Christmas, Snowman etc when suddenly a little film starring...

Yesterday when I was going to Redcar a little girl with her mother got on the bus and sat behind me. The girl was stood on the seat which I wouldn't allow, anyway the little girl smelt of sick and cough sweets.

The seats on the bus are arranged seat, devider, seat and I was sat on the 1 nearest the isle. Then all of a sudden the little girl spewed on the seat literally next to me nearest the window.

Luckily none splashed on me and I was getting off at the next stop...

Last night I was walking home from my girlfriends minding my own business when sudden I got an egg thrown at me by a passing car. Without thinking I shouted for fuk sake then looked to the floor.

It didn't smash on it, it bounced off me and smashed on the floor. It hit with such impact Im surprised it didn't smash.

Turns out my girlfriend's bother got an egg thrown at him the night before but it smashed on his shoes.

They might throw an egg at the wrong...

It is with great worry I am writing this so please bare with me. Tomorrow I am going to the Dr's to see if I have cancer. I am dreading it as along with aids it's not a word you want to know you have.

I thought I would tell you this because I need somewhere to spew out my worries.

I have found blood in my number 2 and it'd been there a few days.

Hopefully it might be nothing but I am dreading it - if it is I don't know what to tell you.

I can see this going into a rant but when you have read what I have to say you probably will agree with me.

Yesterday we were all saddened by the news of Ray Harryhousen dying. Well upon that news I told my mother, step father and girlfriend, well mam and Paul looked at me blankly then said "who?", I explained to them who he was and I still got a who?"

Later I told my girlfriend and was met with the same "who?". Well with that I went off on...

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.

There is something very wrong with Justin Bieber if he thinks he is bigger then Michael Jackson!! he needs a check up from the neck up! how dare he say that, there is no comparison. MJ was and still will be forever one of the worlds greatest entertainers! his music and messages will live on long after I'm dead even, JB is just a snotty nosed little untalented brat that will end up on a has-been's reality show in the future when something better comes along! MJ was hounded and murdered by the media...

I was reading about Yakuza 5 today in hope of some new news. Well there was news and it was bad news. The news was Sega are not releasing Yakuza 5 in the West (UK, USA) as Dead Souls didn't sell that well outside of Japan. I Know it's a small title compared to Call Of Duty but I really enjoyed the games as they were different from the normal games we have.

Hopefully Sega will see sense and release it in the West. There is also a lot of hate getting thrown around for Sega and with...

Interview with Darren Ward Online!

A few weeks back I read Robert W chambers King in yellow. It's a good book and a reccomended read for fans of horror and fantay fiction. While jobless i've decided to dabble with a little creative writing and i've written a short story based on Chambers book. Its flawed and my writing skills need some work but as a first effort I dont think its terrible.

For the whole of this week I've felt lazy. Not the "I'm not gettin' up t'day" sort of lazy or the "lay on the couch with a family sized bag of 'Doritos' watchin' daytime tv" sort of lazy. No, this is the sort of lazy that says "hey! Y' know that job y' w' gunner do? Do it t'morra!"

I want to do some gardening because my garden is such a mess, I want to re-decorate the dump, er, I mean, STUDY, no. I was right the first time, it's an absolute dump. AND...

Now I know that some of you kind people out there think that working in a school is a cushy number; short days, long holidays, clean environment, and so on... Well I'm here to tell you that you're completely and absolutely correct! Go to the top of the class and while you're there give the text books out. I've got two weeks holiday now and I don' have to do any of that nasty marking or lesson planning 'cause I'm NOT a teacher!

Don't get me wrong here, the teachers I work with are...

I used to have a problem with words. Ordinary everyday words that just drip off of the tongue in an ordinary everyday way and then become unusable due to their being harnessed to a different meaning, usually sexual or social. "Queer" once meant unusual and "gay" was carefree and happy. These are just two examples of the most prominent changes in usage over the past fifty years.

I used to get the bus through Darnall, Sheffield, occasionally in the mid to late '70s....

Right! Back to pointless nostalgic ramblings.

Believe it or not I used to read books:shocked And not all of 'em had pictures in, so there!

From the age of about 8 I would go to the public library and take out as many books as I could. At about the age of 10-12 I discovered a 2 volume, printed for children, collection of Poe! YES! Poe for kids! With pictures 'n' ev'rythin'! I remember that they were almost square with hard backs ('course they were hardbacks, y' didn't get...

Snap know how you feel not exactly anything tbh nothing to be happy about at Moment,

Busy week ahead. We have a things going on in London and in between I'll be having my first meeting with a distributor, a well known producer and a well known agent. This experience overtakes everything but it suits me. We're all different of course and for some people, the crazy, all or nothing approach comes with too many risks and draconian sacrifices. The Spartan way has always attracted me though. I'm obviously a complete masochist. I like what Bukowski said about being committed to any artistic...

When I was very young I used to get British comics; The Eagle, Look and Learn, The Beano, The Dandy, The Buster, The Sparky, Topper, and Beezer. I loved them so much that there is one issue of The Sparky that I recall so well that it is ingrained on my psyche, I would give away organs to get that one issue again!

On Friday nights and Sunday lunchtimes we would go to Wincobank and Blackburn Working Men's Club and I would be bought a comic as a bribe to keep me quiet during "t'...

We have a much more ancient and beautiful tractor appearing i n Backtrack so watch this space all you tractor enthusiasts. There must be thousands of you right?

The idea for Backtrack all stems from the girlfriends I used to take up on to the South Downs in my youth. Just in case you don't know what they are, the Downs are a 70 mile long set of sloping chalk hills in Southern England. They look like a cross between hump-backed whales and huge green bosums. Maybe that's why I had some success with women up there - the environment was telling conducive!

The Devil has long been associated with Downs. We have a huge dent in the hills called...

Nicole Aniston tweeted me this morning saying t get in touch with her agent about being in Backtrack. Great news!

We tortured a production assistant on camera during our crowd funding campaign because we love you guys and want to entertain you all.

You're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to be nice. That's what 'they' say.

There are so many rules in life. Ignore them at your peril. Don't go looking for trouble. It doesn't need help finding you. Right there, that's true. But we don't always do the right thing do we? We tell ourselves to play the perfect courtier at all times...

Yo! Who can help me spread the word about our film. Before you do so, read the screenplay - it's on our website in the FILM section - if you want to see it get made (and I believe you will, it was written by a Hollywood optioned screenwriter) then join me in putting the crowd funding campaign before as many people as we can in the next ten days.

Many thanks in advance for your interest!

Hello to you all. My name is Haydn West and I am a producer. Backtrack Productions Ltd are currently working on our first feature which will be set on the South Downs.

A funny thing happened to us the other day. We were filming our crowdfunding video when the police turned up. They heard screaming. You can see the behind the scenes clip of the cop wandering on-set on our website.

We bucked the trend of making nice polite crowdfunding campaign videos by showing our production...

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.......

So far unemployment is dull, I'm applying for jobs, two a day minimum though some days its pretty tough as theres not a great deal about.
I think one of the main problems is if/when I get something it'll have nothing to do with films, the tedium of a regular days work waiting to get home. It dosent help that i'm painfully single right now as well. This wasnt an issue so much when I was working, I had a lot on my plate and plenty of friends so the few evenings I had to myself usually involved...

Of course films good or bad do not make up the whole of a person's cultural make-up. Culture is a very complicated attribute to categorise as any sociology student will tell you, at length if you'll let 'em. I like to keep stuff simple, like me, so I will only talk about what drove me down this trail we call "Cult" and not about the minutia of my tastes.

Of equal importance to film, or possibly greater judging by the sheer weight of subcultures spawned by it, is music. You...

Way back in the halcyon days of my childhood, when summers were long and filled with the whirr of grasshoppers singin' in the tall dry grass and winters were bitterly cold and the snow drifted deeply, when I was in the second year of middle school (about year 4 in today's money) I remember an argument between Tubby Taylor and me.

Y' know when y're gettin' owld cuz y' wanna start tellin' folk 'bout "the good owld days", "eeh, when I were a lad/lass", 'n' "thi don't make 'em like they useta!" I'd like t' say that mine's gunna be different but all that stuff'll creep in, it all'us does.

So, let's start wi' a potted biography.

As y' can prob'ly tell from t' accent I'm not a native of Pompey but an ex-pat from t' Socialist Republic o' South Yorkshire, Sheffield in fact,...

JUST WATCHED A VERY UNDERATED HORROR FILM CALLED BLUE SUNSHINE, ITS BASED ON STUDENTS WHO TOOK A DRUG CALLED 'BLUE SUNSHINE' TENS YEARS EARLIER AT COLLEGE, AND AS A CONSEQUENCE, THERE HAIR FALLS OUT AND THEY TURN IN TO PSYCOTIC KILLERS!! IT REMINDS ME OF A GIALLO FILM (IT WAS MADE IN THE 70'S), WELL WORTH CHECKING THIS ONE OUT, IF YOU HAVE'NT ALREADY! AVAILABLE ON AMAZON FOR ABOUT £6, THIS FILM WOULD MAKE FOR A POSSIBLE ARROW RELEASE IN THE FUTURE, FINGERS CROSSED!

JUST PURCHASED ZFE ON BLU-RAY AND CAN SAFELY SAY ITS AMAZING! ITS A MUST SEE BY ANY GENRE FAN, WELL DONE ARROW!!

HELLO ALL AT CULT-LABS, HE ARE A FEW PICS OF MY DVD/BLU-RAY COLLECTION

Ive decided to leave Youtube after ive uploaded everything ive recorded. The reason why is because some wanker by the name of Evergreen Social Media has decided to flag a video I made 2 yrs ago about my age. Sorry but they don't own copyright to my age (unless im missing something). Anyway this has made me have 2 strikes against my account.

Im sick of it now so ive decided to bid farewell on YT and all I wanted to do was show my dvd/blu ray film collection I have but people have ruined...

Cannibal Holocaust. The mere mention of the title of Ruggero Deodato's infamous cannibal shocker has horror fans either championing it or attacking it without mercy. But just what is it about this film that so fiercely divides opinions? One thing is for certain though - Cannibal Holocaust leaves absolutely no room for sitting on the fence and that, I believe, is its intent.

So what is it that makes it so controversial? Is it the natives running around in Beatles wigs? Is it the sight...

Well, it was good while it lasted, but with the BBFC's new guidelines that come into effect in January next year, I can't see this ever getting an uncut relase in the UK now. As the old saying goes, worse things happen at sea.

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...

I've put the suggestions out and I'm sure others have too..
Brain Dead and Bad Taste by Peter Jackson
Versus by Ryuhei Kitamura
(I think there is a bunch of really cool Japanese films but these are top picks for me)

Fright Night-Tom Holland
Hell Night-Tom DeSimone
Cemetery Man-Michele Soavi
Church/Cathedral of Demons-Michele Soavi
Phantasm-Don Coscarelli
Killer Klowns from Outer Space-Stephen Chiodo
Return of the Living...

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...

When it comes to cult Italian horror films, a few notorious names instantly spring to mind. From Lucio Fulci to Ruggero Deodato, Dario Argento and Mario Bava; there’s no doubt that these directors are some of the best names in cult Italian cinema. But with Shameless Screen Entertainment’s upcoming release of one of the greatest and most atmospheric gialli, The House With Laughing Windows, what better time than now, to look at the man responsible for this eerie thriller; Pupi Avati. Having directed...

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

Director: Steven Speilberg
Starting: Dennis Weaver

Here is my first film review. I will put up a spoiler tag when I think I am giving something away. So here it goes.

Yesterday was my very first viewing of Duel (which I think started as a Made-for-TV-Movie!), and it terrified me! As a passenger who has witnessed annoying tailgating and been in an accident with another vehicle, I really related at how terrifying this could be.

Duel is about a man...

I woke up this morning and decided to do something with my life. This 'something' is writing a blog. Just so you people know I have never written a blog before, so I don't have a bloody clue what I'm doning. Which also means it'll contain more mistakes than Adam Sandler's career.

Before I start, I just thought I'd tell you a bit about myself, for those who have never spoken to me on the forum or my Facebook page (I you want to add me to FB, please sent me a p.m). I'm Marc, I live...

HI GUYS, HOWZ YOU DOIN, Hope you iz well, not like poor me and my head aches?

Sorry for offending everyone from the start but this blog is going to be a huge fu=king rant on Twitter and the blocking.

I have recently gone onto Twitter to see what all the fuss is about and I am now being followed by 32 people (its fuking gone down).

I hate it when people on Twitter follow you then just stop following you a minute later, look if your going to follow (or stalk me) then do it, just stop ****ing about with it, u either follow me or you dont its not...

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...

This October, the madness begins in the form of "31 Days of Horror"!

It lasts from 12:00 am on October 1st to 12:00 on November 1st. You watch one or more horror movies for each day of the month. On Halloween you watch the scariest movie you can think of.

Feel free to join, because every horror fan is to!

After seeing some fan made artwork for faux arrow video titles, I decided to make my own using Quentin Tarrintino's upcoming film Django Unchained (the D is silent). I used a high resolution image of the Red Scorpion blu ray cover to use as a template, and the rest rides itself. Please let me know what you think! This is my first blu ray/arrow video cover and I'd like to know any pro's or con's. The text that says 'He's a human killing machine' is from the cover of 'Red Scorpion'. The tagline I...

Well I thought before going to wild on random postings I'd share a little bit about myself and my love of horror.

So to start of with my name is Sharon Lynette, I'm female as my photo hopefully shows? and I am 30 years old and living with my parents. Don't worry I have lived away from home I'm just attempting to save money so I can actually have my own house and renting was just stupid. Saving money for a house does not in any way stop me from spending my money on dvds, I'm an impulsive...

I'm always down to meet new folks and have new followers or people to follow so send me a tweet if you are on twitter and lets wrap.

Anyone else fed up with region locked blue-rays? Personally I love my ps3, it has great playback and is very easy to update, unfortunately its also difficult at best to make multi region, and any attempt to do so will be thwarted by the next firmware update.

So recently I picked up a blue-ray double bill of KEOMA/GRAND DUAL released by a company called mill creek. Everything they released up till now was totally region-free, and as the discs were so damned cheap it was well worth...

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.

No dents and I can't wait to watch the first one this evening

My steel book arrived today from play and I am shocked not one dent it looks so nice.

Tonight will be demons

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.
