Well done. £800! Not to bit sniffed at!

If you have the time I would be interested to learn about the experience of being on one of these shows.
Like, did they film it all in one day? Do they pay your expenses, put you up in a hotel, that sort of thing.

Just curious.

And well done!

Well done Steve(n) Awkward hugs not withstanding!

Green Room

What a horrible film.

A punk band witness a murder at a venue and are then trapped and hunted by a group of muderous nazi skinheads.
I don't know why anyone wants to make a film like this. It had nothing to say, it wasn't clever in any way, just horribly violent.

I liked it.

Out of interest, what did you like about it? I thought it was competently made and acted but the story was pretty thin and the violence seemed gratuitous.

The above. It was well made, well acted, it gave me a sense of danger, it was like a rollercoaster.

I liken it to Deliverance. Not something you enjoy but endure and come out the other side with a sense of relief. Like roller coasters or most horror films.

Subtitles. That's what I want!
They should not let foreigner on the show!

WTF are you saying?

Agreed.

Plague of the Zombies

Excellent mid-60's Hammer flick, part of their experimental cycle to try and find a new franchise to rival Dracula or Frankenstein. Nothing from this period seemed to stick but we did get some phenomenal one and dones from '62-66, and this is one of the strongest.

Andre Morell is fab in this and it's delightful to find a zombie movie that isn't about a contagion, which appears to be the flavour of the genre currently, a return to more mystic roots for the genre is long overdue.

Studio Canal delivery a fantastic bluray which I highly recomend, for a movie on the older side of 50 it looks astounding.

It does indeed. They did a good job.

Not so good on the Devil Rides Out one though...Grrr

Ah bollix, I thought there was a series of Button Man in production.

Exactly what I thought.


My disappointment knows no bounds.

Happy Deathday

I was looking forward to this.


Sadly it's not very good. Not good at all. 4/10

My books arrived today too, although Ace Trucking for some reason looked like someone had thrown it down the stairs. Sigh.

As did I, except I was sitting in the garden reading the paper grrr.

Too lazy to walk into town and have arranged re-delivery for tomorrow.

I have the Wolfen on Blu ray.
This Blu ray is region free and pretty cheap.
Excellent film.

Received the 8th and final issue of this a week ago so at down to read all 8.

That was superb. Really, really good. The art and the story were top notch.

Sorry it's taken so long to answer Gary, assuming you are still out there, but the artwork looks the same but as you pointed out the 2016 version runs in a different order.

I saw a comment (here or elsewhere) that it wasnt very 2000ad, but I think it upholds the feel of a Sci-Fi special very well, and the bits that "don't feel 2000AD" are not always the worse for that.

I said something along those lines.

And I can see what you are getting at but for me it's just too far removed.

Like buying oranges and receiving cat litter.
