I entirely echo what you have said about the film, and hope it is something which will stand up to repeated viewings, something I'll know when I watch it this evening without subtitles and the actors 'speaking' English. I wasn't watching it with a critical eye on the AV quality, but will try and report back on the HD picture tomorrow.

The forensic investigation of the park murder scene has so much dialogue missing from the sub track that it's possibly a different film.

If you imagine an episode of CSI. All the orders and instructions from Grissom about what they are doing is missing from the subtitle track. Huge swathes of dialogue.

That will be interesting to see in terms of whether it is infuriating or merely a curio.

Fight Club

Don't like it the one and only time I saw it, but rewatching it I enjoyed it and Norton's performance was brillant. 8.7/10


Wizard of Gore (2007) 5.8/10


Now watching the jungel book (2016) followed by Fury both which are first time viewings

What i did find interesting was the commentary is by Kim Newman and Alan Jones. Normally a Newman Jones chat track involves Stephen Jones. I didn't listen to it but i will do in the next few days.

Having looked at all Newman's coms it seems all the gialli are with Alan and the rest with Stephen.

Did you enjoy him saying yallo and yalli constantly?

Do you mean Stephen Thrower?

No Stephen Jones. Critic and author / editor. They do lively commentaries together such as I Walked With a Zombie, Carnival of Souls, Countess Dracula, Halloween II, The Shout and many more.

Been on a tv grind recently, so not many films seen, either at home or at the cinema. Tried to watch Night of the Living Deb on the horror channel the other day and lasted about 25 minutes. What a load of shite, i was hoping she got eaten the moment she opened her mouth. Not to mention it pretty much lifted the local shop scene from Shaun of the Dead. Bit early for an homage to that innit?

Anyway, utter tripe. What's that Scouts vs Zombies one like, any good?

I watched it the other night. It was shite but enjoyable shite that kept me watching to the end at least. I wouldn't buy it or recommend it in any way but if there is nothing on you can pass 90 minutes without too much hardship. There is one scene with a zombie dick that made me laugh out loud, worth a watch for that!!

On a movies on Sky note look for American Ultra. Crap but really good crap, imo!

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about him and those commentaries. I've just started the one on The Bloodstained Butterfly and within the first five minutes there have been ample situations where Alan Jones has said giallo or gialli and Kim Newman says yiallo/yialli without any contradiction from his friend/colleague or Newman asking Jones why he is saying it with a "hard G"!
