The Werewolf transformation scene would stand up in 2021. Mad that it's older than me! My uncle let me watch it when I was 5. I didn't sleep for a week. For years my dad took great delight in waiting til I got to the top of the stairs at bed time, flicking off the lights from downstairs and singing blue moon. Cue me running back down, 3 steps at a time 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it again a few weeks ago, a great film and I don't normally like horror films but this is so different. Jenny Agutter's tremendous in it. 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33000 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 And I also re-watched 'Shackleton's Captain' a documentary-drama on Amazon prime, (not sure if it's available elsewhere?) which is fucking superb and mixes real life photography and film with actors playing the part and biographers/historians chipping in. Puts the monumental efforts into perspective far better than the film focusing on Shackleton where he's played by Kenneth Brannagh and gives, (rightly) his Captain, Frank Worsley his proper due. I 100% would've been Shackleton's chippie had I been there and the pettiness that he held towards the bloke who basically cannibalised their boat that helped saved their lives was particularly unnecessary. Very good watch if you haven't seen it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4376 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I rewatched An American Werewolf in London a couple of months ago after being semi-forced by my lass to watch Call the Midwife and hankering for the younger Jenny. Actually Call the midwife is okay from a nice, sedated viewing pov and also has some good insights into social change in the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4376 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Well I've seen ones that dealt with racism, abortion, downs syndrome and thalidomide so it isn't just nuns delivering bairns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42286 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Took the laddie to see the new Bond. Lots of exactly what you expect from a Bond, loads of references to past movies, and interesting ending, which I’d post IF I COULD WORK OUT SPOILER FUCKING TAGS! Very long though.

If you don't know/care about those characters, I'm not sure it'd be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13842 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I have a strong aversion to prequels because most characters lose something the more backstory you give them so no thank you. You can keep it, Gemmill. Put it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44649 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I think you'd be fine with this. The main character that it focuses on (Dickie Moltisanti, Christopher's dad) is dead long before the timeline of The Sopranos even gets started. Tony is a peripheral figure in this thing. It's not really a "prequel", it's more "a Sopranos story" which I think they billed it as, and which makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30475 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 It’s a crock of shit. If this weren’t Sopranos related it would be getting pelters. It offer nothing to the original series other than a chance to re-use a few lines/scenes/characters. As a stand-alone film it’s very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
