I might go and see it but I'm a bit busy with Uni these next few weeks so I might not get a chance. I don't think I'm that bothered either way.
off to see it this afternoon, my hopes aren't high.

I'm not saying The Tenant is a bad film, it's just a film i didn't get on with.
I really like The Tenant, Dem. A shame you didn't get on with it.

Another film I really love!

'Off' is perhaps my comfort zone though.

I didn't really see any point to what was happening. With Polanski i either love the films or loathe them. Most i've seen i love, but The Tenant and Fearless Vampire Killers did nothing for me.

I may be alone in this, but on occasion some of my favourite film experiences could be described as such!

Film is subjective. I can think of numerous films where little happens but are very watchable.

Nothing "happens" in Withnail & I ...


In honour of learning about a possible tome from the director
I perused
American Samurai (1993, Sam Firstenberg)
Loopy David Bradley actioner. Quite a find really, as tis way more bloody than I expected. Recommended to those here who love such things
