The Final Cut Call me crazy but I think the original cinema releases for both Apocalypse Now and Blade Runner are the best versions. Yes they may not of been the "full" realisation of the director's vision but they were the actual releases that changed the way we looked at cinema. The effect they had on cinema from that moment on is huge and the later released director's cuts never had that effect and influence. If you haven't seen Heart of Darkness then make sure you do as soon as you can - the fact that Apocalypse Now was even made is just a feat in itself.

I would have agreed with you, seeing the original at the cinema as a teenager was an absolute stunning for me. I still remember it vividly, I've never had a cinematic experience like it. I've watched the original dozens of times since I thought Redux was horribly disappointing, the whole rhythm of the original was gone. I saw the final cut a couple of years ago, again at the cinema, the first time I had seen any version at the cinema in a couple of decades. Going in I was worried that it wouldn't live up to the original at it would be a disappointment but it was a genuine masterpiece 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not kidding either- she was frantic in November that she wouldn’t be able to get any in due to shortages. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 43064 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I’m taking Fist Jnr. to see Spidrman; Too Far From Homecoming To Come Home, I’ll let you know if it’s anything other than the standard formulaic cack. Going to the Everyman though, so I can at least have a beer whilst enduring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4821 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Wolf Creek Dont usually watch horrors (since my 20’s) but saw a trailer for this on TikTok which looked good. Unfortunately it turned out that the trailer was for Wolf Creek 2 I will not be watching Wolf Creek 2 as I remembered why I don’t watch horrors during Wolf Creek 1 Edited January 29, 2022 by Christmas Tree 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor blokes in the accommodation block… I’ll watch that tomorrow. Fucking scary going to live on one of those fuckers. I was quite surprised that Deepwater was a floating or semi floating rig. I couldn’t quite understand how they manage to keep it stable enough to drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43064 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The first rig I went on was a semi-submersible, and they roll about in heavy seas like a ship ( they’re technically classed as ships, and registered as such). Maybe it was just me, but I was always very aware of where my escape route was, wherever I was, on whichever rig. On arrival you’d be given a safety tour, and there were lads who’d be bored and not paying attention and I’d always think “ Walking BBQ”. I always wore clothing that would keep me warm if I had to jump, whereas there were lads stilling about in jeans and whatever. That’s not to say I permanently on edge, far from it, but they’re hazardous sites and I took the the advice above from an old hand who’d been on them for decades. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
