So many of these wonderful films are on youtube in their fuckin entirity it's fuckin' great. One film that i've wanted to see that i ain't seen that is one of few of Oliver Reeds films that i ain't seen is a film called The System or The Girl Getters as it was known in America, fuckin' searched high and low but i can't find shit. Found a copy on ebay ages back and i got it in two pieces, i think maybe God don't fuckin' want me to watch it or something.

Just watched Bubba Ho-Tep. Bruce Campbell plays an elderly Elvis Presley who swapped places with an Elvis impersonated before he "died", and he and a black guy who thinks he's JFK do battle with a mummy who is haunting their retirement home. Classic intentionally bad movie :lol:

Love that film, there was a rumour they were going to make a sequel Bubba Nosferatu but haven't heard anything for a while.

In the same vein, has anyone seen "Black Dynamite"? Hilarious.

I've seen that film more times than I care to admit. :lol: Probably the greatest comedy of the last decade.

They've started an animated series on Adult Swim now too which is just flat out ridiculous. The villain in the first episode is Jackson 5 era Michael Jackson.

who in the end turns out to be an alien.

Black Samurai, blacula and the black gestapo are also worthy additions to any collection of watch to take the mick out of films.

All starring actors that looked suspiciously like Bruce Lee (although towards the later movies it was just short chinese men with bruce lee haircuts :lol:) named Bruce Li, Bruce Le, Bruce Leigh, etc etc

In his lifetime Bruce made 5 movies:

Big Boss

Fist of Fury

Way of the Dragon

Enter the Dragon

Game of Death (the last 20 mins anyway)

Snippets of these films are cunningly edited into Brucesploitation, eyeline close ups, facial close ups...one of em even came up with the great idea of having the bruce character facing a mirror and then gluing a picture of Bruces real face over the mirror to serve as his reflection, i shit you not :lol:

WB plans to make The Dark Tower movies, with Russell Crowe as Roland

I'm not quite sure about Crowe for this role. I mean, I kinda see it, but then not really. Obviously, he's not gonna be played by Eastwood, but it's hard to get over the image. I would have gone with Viggo Mortensen.

Eddie Dean has always been James Franco in my mind, but I suppose Franco is too old for the role now.

Anyway, it's probably not gonna happen in the end, let's face it.

They're doing a Hitchcock retrospective at the BFI Southbank in London these days, they're screening a lot (or all?) of his movies, some documentaries too. I went and saw Frenzy, which I hadn't seen before. What an amazing movie! In a way it must have felt a bit dated when it came out because it's filmed, written and acted much like his earlier ones, but at the same time it's cool to see how he would've done things without constraints. I think that's what he was going for anyway. It's like a 40s/50s movie but with things that weren't available then: colour, nudity, foul language, explicit sexual references. But a very good Hitchcock flick. Also, one of the funniest movies I've seen. The whole theatre were pissing themselves, and not just once or twice. There were so many great witty lines and the scenes with the policeman and his wife, the scene in the potato truck and a bunch of other moments. Very, very good movie, I loved it.

Thats the one with the tie killer innit? Love that film. The only Hitchcock films i don't go a bundle on are the espionage type ones, even they are good but it's just not really one of my favorite genres and that y'know? You're spot on with you appraisal of it too, y'know, of being like a 40s/50s type movie only less restrained, you'll find that with a lot of british cinema in the 70s/60s (although a lot of British Cinema spent the 60s trying desperately to be more contemporary) had a touch of that to it. I think that has a lot to do with changes in British Society not being so pronnounced as they were in other parts of the western world.
