    R U L E   O F   T H I R D S.  Never noticed this before.. Seller’s President voice is basically Kubrick. Dry Manhattan accent.

    The fetish of screen printing presses, paint and  a Fairlight CMI drum machine on attack.

  • The Sword of Doom

    The Sword of Doom 1966

    ★★★★½ Rewatched by G Doyle 10 Jun 2018

    Still looks beautifully framed in its endless violence. Need to dig out Okamoto’s KILL!

    ★★★★½ Watched by G Doyle 16 Jun 2018

    There was a moment halfway through this I found myself going. ‘Please, Terry don’t tear this down. Need these people to be OK’ ...From the beginning with BRAZIL, I’ve been like this.

  • Innerspace

    Innerspace 1987

    ★★★★½ Rewatched by G Doyle 04 Apr 2018

    In my head it’s a Saturday afternoon, Summer of 1988’..

    Kevin McCarthy’s performance is up there with Ted Knight in Caddyshack or Leslie Nielsen in Airplane where it’s basically a parody of their own character career. Just having a blast with it.
    Put it on a second time with the Joe Dante commentary. Always gives good audio commentary. The supermarket waking dream scene. Just behind the coupon lady in the cue is Ron Howard’s dad Lance Howard and then Chucks Jones who created Bugs Bunny... ᴹᵉᶰᵗᵃᶫ

  • Starship Troopers

    Starship Troopers 1997

    ★★★★½ Rewatched by G Doyle 25 Feb 2018

    *Federation Propaganda lettering flashes across the screen* Phil Tippett, Basil Poledouris, Jost Vacano, Jon Davison, Edward Neumeier and Paul Verhoeven. 


    Finest bit of fascist allergory that ever slipped out of Hollywood. Released in the shadow of a 4th Alien sequel. I went to the cinema to see them Robocop boys do it again. Still one of the greatest cinema experiences I’ve ever had.
