  1. @manna We also watched Engineer Garin’s Hyperboloid, another #soviet #cult #scifi film.

    That was weird, maybe less intentionally as Kin-dza-dza, but still entertaining.

    No slow-burn Slavic storytelling whatsoever! The pacing was so fast that I had some trouble keeping up with all the plot-twists. Apparently the director had just decided to skip over all the boring parts of the original book. Pretty astonishing for a mid-sixties soviet film.

    Both had just excellent photography, really a-class.

  2. Saw Kin-dza-dza again after a long time.

    Still as weird and as hilarious as the first time. Doesn’t seem to get old. Pro tip: if you want your scifi flick still look cool 40 years later, use only scrap iron and other junk in sets. Dress everyone in cheapest rags you can dig up. It never goes out of style.

    Ku!

    EDIT: Myös termi "tollonhaalea toljotus" tuli mieleen. Filosofi Tuomas Nevanlinna Radio Helsingin Tukevasti ilmasssa -ohjelmassa aikoinaan määritteli niillä sanoin, miten suomalaiset tunnistaa lentokentällä.

  4. Chuckie Egg, yeah, I _do_ remember it…

    ' "If you put a screenshot of Space Panic next to #ChuckieEgg they're embarrassingly similar," [Nigel Alderton] says. "The colours are identical. I nicked all the bits out of #SpacePanic that I liked as well as other platform and ladders #games." '

    … but I remember Space Panic even clearer! One of the immediate hits on a boat trip to Stockholm. Along with the switch in the back of a #SpaceInvaders cabinet that gave infinite games.

  8. Watched Scorsese’s Color of Money yesterday. Last I’ve seen it when it came in the mid-80s, I guess.

    What a flick! What intense editing! What visual flair! And what! Tom Cruise can actually act!?! (Other than Tom Cruise The Superstar Hero™, that is.)

    And this was just a minor work in the auteur’s oeuvre… Gotta start a #Scorsese marathon after we’re done with #Cronenberg

    ' The first Polish milk bar was established in 1896 in Warsaw. In Łódź, the first milk bar was opened in November 1949 at 13 Piotrkowska Street. ' (..) ' Although the peak of popularity of milk bars falls on 60s and 70s of 20th century ’ (etcetc…)

    I was before in believe that milk bars were an invention of the era.

    I thereby stand corrected.
