"I will perfect my own race of people! A race of atomic supermen, which will conquer the world!"

This evening's viewing: second part of a b-movie double bill, newly restored for Blu-Ray release that the BFI sent for review: Bride of the Monster! Going with Plan 9 From Outer Space, which I watched over the weekend.
Lugosi looks like he's rather enjoying himself here.

"Can your heart stand the shocking facts about grave robbers from outer space?!?!"
This evening's viewing: the BFI kindly sent me a new Blu-Ray release of Ed Wood's supposdly "one of the worst of all time" films (of course now a cult flick), Plan 9 From Outer Space.
As ever, review will follow later on @PhilEdwards 's Live For Films

For the evening crowd: “Who would ever have believed that human beings would be stupid enough to blow themselves off the face of the Earth?”

This evening's viewing: remastered version of the classic adaptation of Neville Shute's Cold War tale, On the Beach that the BFI were kind enough to send for review.
Such an unusual & powerful film, and one of the saddest uses of Waltzing Matilda I've ever heard.

This evening's viewing distraction: classic 1950s B movie silliness in The Fiend Without a Face

This evening's viewing distraction: just spotted this on the BBC iPlayer, so a revisit to a 1950s classic SF/Horror (which decades later would inspire one of the best horrors of all time), with The Thing From Another World.

This evening I am keeping myself distracted with a revisit to early Hammer adaptation of Hound of the Baskervilles, with the great Peter Cushing, to keep my mind off things.

The film just hit the iconic "who wants to be a millionaire" song sequence, and it suddenly struck me that nearly seven decades on since the movie, if it were being filmed today they'd have to update it to billionaires.
"Who wants to be a billionaire? I don't! Put colonies on Mars and ruin Twitter? I don't..." 🎵

"End of the song, start of the story..."
This evening's viewing distraction: some classic musical fun with High Society. Bing Crosby, Satchmo, Sinatra, and the goddess that is Grace Kelly.

This evening's viewing distraction: going classic with Hitchcock's North by Northwest. Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, that Bernard Hermann score, and those fabulous Saul Bass titles.
