opera
 

I dunno what the f@$k's going on,crows,oddles of gore and that god damn noise they call music OPERA music,(people who like opera music,killings to good for em).
nonsensical plot, odious characters played by even more odious actors and more bleedin crows,good GOD I luv this film.

You're not the only one Inspector. I shelled out ages ago for an original one sheet of it which you might be able to spot in this pic from the other day.

Yes I did indeed spot , very nice those old one sheets posters, oh old on Daria Nicolodi is just getting an eyeful.

I took it to an art restorer and had all the folds removed. It looks mint.

I didn't even know that was possible.

I have a mate who acquired an original Jack the Giant Killer poster which was practically torn in half and he had that restored. You'd never know from looking at it now.

This isn't it, it's to show the poster i'm referencing.

Next viewing which I've not seen before

I just noticed that I watched the International cut, not the US Version,anyone have a preference? (please notice im to lazy to check online for difference) I may watch the us version tomorrow.

No idea i'm afraid. I just have the US Anchor Bay dvd.

Is it not out on blu?

Coming out in December from Koch I think in Germany, got it on pre-order. If I recall correctly it's a media book.

Seems odd when Arrow reissue every Argento film multiple times that they ignored Opera.

Tonight's viewing:

That totally freaked me out when i saw it live.

When Mike Smith yells 'That's my wife in there' - brilliant drama, pretending to be a documentary.

I'm damned if i can decide what to watch. Part of me wants more of The Walking Dead but another part says 'go for films'.

I've never seen a single episode of The Walking Dead... I'd say go for films!

I've seen two episodes. From what i understand there are people on this site who have seen more than that and seem to enjoy it.

What films though?

I've so many i can't choose. :brainfood:

I understand it may be too late now, but name a few potentials from your watch pile and let the masses decide! ;)

Some good viewing there BE, how did you find the ABCs of Death, been intending to pick that one up at some point

I found the FD series a fresh of breath air compared to most contemporary horror. Plus that score is wonderfully haunting

Overall I found it fairly decent, but with all anthologies the segments tend to vary in quality. With ABCs this variation is compounded by the amount of segments present and the amount of directors involved. However, due to the lengths of each segment being fairly short you're never bored and it is certainly an interesting vehicle to showcase some talent and the imagination of the cinematic horror community both young and old.

I also actually found the sequel to be slightly better than its predecessor - I did feel that the quality of segments were improved overall.

Aside from films it's been nice dipping into one of my favourite books again this year - October Dreams.

A compendium of stories, poems and recollections from some of the great horror writers.

The October 31st extracts from Kim Newman's diary over the years make for fascinating reading.

A diversion from films again but on Saturday night on Radio 4 there is a new drama from Peter Strickland - a re-imagining of The Stone Tape.

BBC Radio 4 - Drama, Fright Night: The Stone Tape

I'd be interested to know what you make of this Treb.

I know i saw it on vhs but i'm sure i didn't really rate it, problem is i can't remember a thing about it.

Seen it before and I enjoyed it, not going to be a classic or win any awards but was an enjoyable b monster movie.

For those who just want to sit back and watch the telly some cracking stuff on Freeview on Halloween night, Stephen King's IT in full on Tru Entertainment (9pm til 1am), and BBC2 has Horror Express at 1:40am and for a camp Halloween night Really have Most Haunted live w/Paul O'Grady and Rylan Clark joining Yvette Fielding(should be a good for a laugh)

What a great cast to Julian Barratt from Mighty Boosh and Dean Andrews from Life on Mars should be good.

We do indeed get Orphan Black in Canada, but they show it on the Space channel.

:lol: Go for it. But you have to stick with it......;)

Aren't they playing The Exorcist and Ring as well??

There's a review for it on Den of Geek. Sounds good to me, really looking forward to it.

Give Xtro another go sometime Treb. It's excellent. Xtro 2 is great due to Harry Bromley Davenport's commentary. He hates Jan Michael Vincent nearly as much as i do.
