Well I think telling it more objectively would've been more honest. As it was, I was frequently taken out of the film by the filmmakers clear infatuation with Bourdin. I'd be interested to know how the Barclay familiy felt of the finished film . . .

Hang on Nos - you were referring to We Need to Talk About Kevin, right? We were on about The Imposter being manipulative. I was just thinking ' who are Kevin and Eva' ??? . . .

I have been watching stuff I just haven't listed anything recently. Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) was the last film watched. I can hardly remember anything with my messed up sleeping patterns. I watched Groupie Girl (1970) last week, great film is you like that sort of thing. Basically it's just about a groupie going from band to band, with a bit of drama in between. I don't think I've watched much else in the last couple of days and I can't remember last week. I've also been working my way through the Ghost Stories for Christmas set. Next I have the urge for a That'll Be the Day/Stardust (1973/4) double bill so they will be watched at some point this week along with a load of Carry on films. Two more Christmas ones today though, Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) and later Christmas Evil (1980).

I indulged my guiltiest of filmic pleasures on Sat night, one so ridiculous, I'm almost ashamed to mention it. I'm speaking of 70s Brit smut extravaganza Come Play With Me - wait!, come back!, let me explain... This film was reputedly one of the biggest UK grossers of the decade, it ran for years in certain porno cinemas (remember them!), it made millionaires of sleazebags like producer David Sullivan - 40 odd years ago this was forbidden fruit of the most exotic type, labelled 'strong' and 'uncut'. Old bag Mary Whitehouse feared it would end civilisation as she knew it. Needless to say what we're actually looking at here is the biggest movie con job this side of Snuff. It's basically a no-joke carry-on style movie populated by male gargoyles like Tefryn Thomas and Harrison Marks and a gaggle of page 3 slappers who can barely read their lines. There's painful 'joke skits', including a neverending one involving a parrot and a fortune teller; detumescently (is that a word?) unerotic sex is interperesed with shots of leering old geezers in long johns, actors visibly corpse in front of camera (God knows why, it's not the hilarity of the script), song and dance numbers break out like herpes sores, the plot is so vague and obtuse as to border on avant grade. In short the whole affair is so ghastly, so awful I find it hopelessly addictive - to think people actually wanked to this in the 70s! In cinemas! A time capsule of the weirdest kind - I'II cherish my News of the Screws freebie disc always! Merry Xmas to one and all!
