Seen any good films recently? I watched quite a good film called "Freeway" t'other night.

I enjoyed Carlito's Way the other day

I have just finished (re)watching 2001: A Space Odyssey. I had forgotten what I mind trip it was!

I watched the Cube trilogy again recently. 1 and 3 are interesting (3 especially so).

There is a torrent on the pirate bay where you can get the original teleplay from 1969 as part of a complete set of everything to do with The Cube, as well as The Pink floyd Sync "The Cube: Inside a Dark Dark Dream" (2008)

Here's some blurb:


"The Cube: Inside of a Dark Dark Dream" is a SYD-SYNC project similar to the "The Dark Side of the Rainbow"

It was created from:

.... the original existential teleplay The Cube (1969), the conceptual predecessor to the three theatrical horror flicks.

THE CUBE.... Once you\'ve seen it, you\'ll never get out....
It was a Sunday afternoon, February 23,1969, when the anthology show NBC EXPERIMENT IN TELEVISION aired a one-hour teleplay THE CUBE. It starred Richard Schaal as a man trapped in a white cubical room. He had no idea how he got there or where it was. And although anyone could enter, he couldn\'t leave....
A deceptively simple teleplay, THE CUBE worked its way into the memories of many who have seen it. Metaphysical play, philosophical allegory, dark comedy, psychological drama-- THE CUBE is as hard to categorize as it is to describe.

"Captain Blood" with Errol Flynn at his finest. I watch films to escape the humdrum, not to wallow
in today's misery. I can watch murder and mayhem on the news ;~)

'Telstar', the Joe Meek story. Ignore that James Corden is in it, it's very good despite that.

So did I, oddly enough! The second one is indeed crap, but the other two are very cool. I liked the bit where the guy from the military ends up like the autistic guy in the first one. All very self-referential and mobius-strip-tastic.

Has anyone seen Matador? I might try downloading that for this evening.

^^^^note, not to be confused with The Matador

Ah, Cube! Great film, although I assumed that the other two would be crap, I'll have to have a wee look. I love quirky sci-fi type stuff, Pi and Primer are other favourites. More recently, Moon and Sunshine were great old-school sci-fi. District 9 as well - anyone seen that?
