Hell no! I liked it but it lacks the nastiness of the original, NYC and Joe Spinell...it's a very different film.

It is and don't get me wrong, the original will always be great for the reasons you mention,I just think the remake is a better written film - the relationship between Frank and the photographer is far more convincing, for instance.

Everything I've been waiting on all turned up at once yesterday! Right before I left to go see World War Z (fantastic set pieces, extremely anti-climatic ending :( )

Before WWZ, I was browsing in a JB HiFi with a $40 voucher when I spotted this beauty of a set I've been after for a while, in a SciFi sale for only $35. Watched The Final Cut last night, absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

I picked up 8mm (which is underrated in my opinion) and The Good, The Bad And The Weird from a charity shop and I'm A Cyborg and Tetsuo fom CEX, I haven't seen the latter but the sleeve compares it to Lynch (it looks Eraserhead-ish) and Cronenberg, that made it impossible to refuse.

Haven't seen Tetsuo? Oooh. How big is your TV??

Claudia Christian!!! Uuuuuuuhhhh. I have to go.....;)

Saturday Night Fever (30th Anniverseray Edition) on blu. is it any good on blu or shit?

46-inch in the living room, 42-inch in the spare/games room. I can't see my missus letting me watch it in the living room, Eraserhead 'upset' her.

Arrow have a sale going on, so I ordered Black Sunday and Motel Hell.

The former will be the first Mario Bava film I've seen, so if I like it enough I'll definitely pick up Baron Blood and Black Sabbath soon after.

I hope this sale lasts a couple of weeks, I'm skint at the minute, but its my birthday next week
