Phantom Of The Paradise, a kind of Glam Rock version of Phantom Of The Opera / Faust, 45 years old and a cult classic along the lines of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. 

Current favorite though is Tommy Wiseau's 2003 disaster piece, The Room, a so-bad-it's-good classic.

Watched Crazy Heart other night - its really not that good and way too short.

I know he got an Oscar, but Jeff Bridges just plays a more serious 'The Dude'.

 

That Maggie Gyellnehall (or however you spell it) is a cracker though.

Check her out in the film Secretary, and set your face to 'Stunned'!!!

Or the other favorite quote of mine

"Look at those assholes" 

"They're not assholes, they're azaleas"

On a really bad run on Netflix:

Sully - shite, flitting all over the place. Not one of Tom hanks best.

the cobbler - so fucking bad it’s laughable. 

Hangover 3 - shite, one film too many.

Watched Hangover 3 last night. Really wish I hadn't. Not Bradley Cooper’s finest performance.

Classic. Wasn't the immortal line "Oh no, I couldn't fuck a gorilla" in that? Decades since I saw that movie but looking it up now you've reminded me.

Throw the Haunting of Sharon Tate into that mix..... its kinda ok right up until the last 15 minutes - and then goes totally off-kilter. Bizarre.

Bale plays him well, but it’s not great tbh. Just seems to bore its way through a couple of hours. 

Was going to say virtually the same. Bake virtually unrecognisable and does it well but not a right lot happens unfortunately.

Watched it on a plane flying over Iraq, funnily enough.

Yes it was, along with the classic little girl hospital phone message ("It's an epidermal haematoma, ha!!!") , the over stringent drink drive test and the stunning looking prostitute with the annoying voice ("Duke of Oyal") to name but a few scenes. 

Also check out The Jerk, and Roxanne, probably Steve Martin's other two classic movies.

 Edit: Can't believe I forgot Pointy Birds by John Lillison, the famous one armed poet, :lol:!!!

The newest Godzilla film has leaked out. Plot isn't worth a sniff but visually it's very impressive

Not too fussed on the new Godzilla films, though surprisingly I quite liked the Matthew Broderick one. 

However love the original Toho "Men in badly fitting rubber suits trashing scale models of Tokyo" from the 50s, 60s and 70s, especially the original version of Godzilla, Destroy All Monsters and Son Of Godzilla.

Cheers mate - I won't bother then!

Had a hunch it might be some kind of Democratic whinge fest anyway.
