This film is already well on it's way to cult status....
Watched it on the way up to work on my tablet. Will definitely be watching it when I get home on the big screen in the Daicos Bar, what a great flick! 9/10, loved it!

I can’t imagine it’d be much of an improvement on the original. :lol:

Apparently everyone who has Netflix (except me) has watched this recently. Why?
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Watched the whole lot on Friday with hubby and daughter, fricken disgusting and shocking to me that they have so many wild animals in The states and such lax laws, I had no idea, easy to see now how the BLT bear lion Tiger, ended up together now, but the story, geezus you could not make it up! Watch it Stu, it’s gobsmacking, I can’t think of one person on the show that has a redeeming side!

Bugger all on FTA TV last night unless you had a thing for chocolate, got Netflix fired up using the phone as a WIFI hotspot. Watched The Fugitive. Hadn't seen it for years, pretty good.

In the last two weeks, I’ve seen:

• John Huston’s The African Queen, starring Jack Spain’s dad and Katharine Hepburn
• the great 1970s African-American film Killer of Sheep
Sebastiane, Derek Jarman’s homoerotic drama about the titular Christian saint
A Summer Night in Town, a ’90s apartment-set French chamber play in which the actor and actress are naked for pretty much the entire film
• the long-suppressed Disney film Song of the South
Nausicaa, a 1970 Agnès Varda documentary about Greek political exiles living in France
Only a Mother, Max Von Sydow’s acting debut (a 1949 Swedish film about farm labourers)
The Daughters of Fire, a high-minded Argentinian lesbian porno
The Banned Woman, a French film shot entirely from the perspective of the protagonist
• and Softness of Bodies, a 2018 US indie film set in Berlin starring Red Scare podcaster Dasha Nekrasova, who last week did a lengthy interview with Steve Bannon (!)

I can’t say I’m enjoying this lockdown, but I’ve certainly appreciated the opportunity to watch some, er, interesting films. :shock:
