Well it's funny how these things happen, but I just turned on the TV to watch some Melbourne Cup day action, and there on Foxtel's TCM channel is "5 Million Years to Earth" (aka Quatermass and the Pit)!  Guess which won out for my viewing pleasure :-)

Well now Hardtack it really is a small world !!

The title 5 Million years to earth really got me in a s a kid, When I realised it was a trilogy of Quatermass series I jumped onto my local and guess what//!!

I picked up a "Pristine Copy" from good ol JB HI FI for a measley $ 15.00 BARGAIN !! 

Loved watching it again several times now on surround sound system!!!

Another snippert for you!! Get hold of a movie called "A night to remember" a really good retelleing of the Titanic story.

Finally, I have sourced the old Crawford productions "Homicide" & Division 4" Jys go to website $ 50.00 each for state of the art good ol Aussie Drama!

At your service Hardtack Cheers "Fence"

His latest movie was nothing short of trash. 

(Tarantino)

I really enjoyed it. The first half was a bit slow, but after the interval it was awesome.

 

Oh and another one for the list I had forgotten about: 'Man Bites Dog'. Horrible. Just horrible and redundant.

And what else is boxing if not violence at its most primal... I think Raging Bull is a brilliant piece of film making and one of De Niro's finest moments.

What is the deal these days with De Niro ?

From being "the" man as far as acting is concerned he is now making some absolute stinkers.

Yeah, it seems to happen to a lot of them... De Niro, Depp, Steve Martin, Oldman etc.  Lure of the easy $ maybe?

Shyte movies being all too common, and the small movies doing original things not having the budget for the names above. 

 

Yeah I think it is really starting to swing that way now, with netflix and such, people are wanting more than 2 hrs of entertainment from 1 stroy line.

Worst movie I can remember is Crocodile Dundee 2, followed by any other movie involving Paul Hogan, followed by Red Dog.

Never seen it EH but there again I rarely watch commercial TV (unless it's sport)

I much preferred 'Take Care with Graham Kerr'  ... which was a cooking show on the ABC that went for less than 5 minutes (which is about as long as a cooking show should go for) :ph34r:

Obviously you were too young to remember come and get it with Peter Russell Clarke. Forget it.

Ah ... so that's what you meant - makes sense now.  I'd completely forgotten about him.  I've edited that post.  Take a look.

So anyway - does 'The Shape of Water' shape up as the worst movie to win best picture at the Oscars?  I haven't seen it but I know a few that have and they didn't care for it.  'The Artist' is another vying for top honours in that category (worst movie to win best picture)

I will get around to watching 'The Shape of Water' regardless.

I don’t think anything will ever beat ‘Shakespeare In Love’ in that category’

I watched The Shape of Water on my flight to Taipei on Tuesday... I thought it was brilliant.

Ok then ... as stated previously,  I will be watching the film and I'll make my own evaluation then.  Obviously the film isn't for everyone but we could be talking about any film of any genre. 

I'll probably like it as opposed to those who don't care for it ... I still haven't seen 'The Artist' either but that film also received mixed reviews.

Tree of life  - Brad Pitt . I said this film earlier in the thread but the film was so bad it bears repeating.

tree of life - horrible - 2 hours of my life i will never get back

 

(OK - ill stop now)

The worst movie I have ever seen (and didn't finish) was Hudson Hawk.  It starred, and I use the term loosely, Bruce Willis and Andie MacDowell.

Truly horrible.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
