  1. Given noise from nearby kickyball game going on, I've opted for some silly, 1980s nonsense viewing I can turn the volume up on, so it's 1984's Top Secret, an obvious attempt to cash in on the likes of Airplane!, but still a fun distraction (plus Val Kilmer, Michael Gough & Peter Cushing!)

  2. Terrific evening, met chums from the bookshop at closing, off for food then the Filmhouse for the 40th anniversary screening & talk for Highlander (yes, I know, I can't believe it is 40 years since I first saw that in a cinema...).

    Delightfully silly, and so 80s, and cheesey, and yet it all works.

  7. This evening's viewing distraction: I have a bunch of new stuff to watch, but find I'm still in the mood for older works. Comfort viewing, I suppose, understandable at the moment.

    So this evening a revisit to comedy classic Airplane!

  8. For those of you in the UK, Film4 has 80s cult #horror classic Warlock, with a young Richard E Grant and the sadly now late Julian Sands

  13. After a nice meal, we're back at the Filmhouse for a second evening of Spooky Season #film fun, with John Carpenter's classic The Thing.

    First time viewing for one of my chums, will be a bit more of an eye opener for her, I think!

  14. More Spooky Season #film fun planned - back to the Filmhouse with my chums again this evening, for the 4k restored version of Carpenter's classic The Thing. One of my chums has never seen it, suspect she is in for quite an eye-opener!

  15. This evening, after the end of a long, fun but tiring week of work, sod the alcohol-free, healthier stuff, instead a bottle of Aussie red wine (grapes picked by highly skilled kangaroos) & the Blu-ray of Prince of Darkness I picked up recently. Of course this also means the iconic Alice Cooper making a guest appearance!

  16. Also booked more #Halloween film treats for me and some chums, as the Filmhouse has the 4k restoration of John Carpenter's astonishing SF-horror, The Thing (which will be quite a contrast with the Lon Chaney Phantom of the Opera the day before!).

    Tickets all booked, #Halloween is such a magical time of year!!

  17. "Everything alright?"

    "Two bodies still in the study, everything's fine."

    This evening's viewing distraction: some silly fun with the 1980s adaptation of Clue, which means the great Tim Curry, and writing and direction by Yes, Minister's Jonathan Lynn (I had no idea it was lurking on Netflix)

  18. "I dreamt of the dragon"

    "I have awakened him. Cannot you see, all around you, the dragon's breath?"

    This evening's viewing: revisiting one of my all-time favourites, Boorman's Excalibur, which succeeds where other Arthur fulms fail, because it embraces the myth.

  19. This evening's viewing: some 1982 horror in One Dark Night, with a very young Jennifer Tilly, and a supporting role for Batman himself, Adam West.

  24. This evening's viewing distraction: 1981's Aussie flick Road Games, with Stacey Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis. I think the last time I saw this it was from the video rental store (on Betamax!)...

  29. Tonight's viewing distraction: 1989's comedy-horror Sundown - the Vampire in Retreat. David Carradine's Count Mardulak gathers vamps to live in an old desert ghost town (with lots of sunblock & synthetic blood). Bruce Campbell is a descendant of Van Helsing.

  30. This evening's viewing: a revisit to an 80s #horror classic - the (sadly now late) Julian Sands and a young Richard E Grant in Warlock

  31. Like many of us I am in much need of distraction this evening, et voila, the perfect thing: a revisit to 1980 classic The Blues Brothers.

    Ackroyd, Belushi, Carrie Fisher, great cameos, brilliant comedy, amazing action, fabulous music, plus a bunch of Nazis being trounced.

  36. "one, two, Freddy's coming for you..."

    Excellent night, off straight from work with chums to see the original Nightmare on Elm Street (first time for one chum, had to explain there was no CGI her, mid 80s, it's all practical effects!). Still brilliant.
