Re: TYTD/Red Triangle Reviews
Was the chick a martial artist? I bet not. A chinese film back then wouldn't acknowledge that a woman developed wing chun (sorry, had to get my faux SJW comment in there).
All in all, that's one hell of an entertaining review. So glad I pushed on beyond the orange scene. Man, that was hysterical. Still cant stop laughing. Little tearies down my face. |

In many ways its a shame the film isnt that consistantly wacky throughout. if the clips were an example of the tone of the film throughout it would be hilarious, its just a real shame theres such a plod between those bits. when it gets it right though it amazingly bad xD |

https://youtu.be/i-LYNWPH6TI Also enjoyed the split screen running while you built up the review and then the full screen when you allowed a clip to play out for full attention. I see you're an editor. I dabble myself. I did not like "The Stuff" when I watched it a few years back, but after seeing another Cohen film (The Ambulance) recently, I may have to "double dip" and see if I may have missed the point? I got the humor, but your clips of the "sweaty palm" scene makes me think I was zoning out when I initially saw this as an adult so...possibly a round two coming soon. Nice to meet you and welcome to the forum! :) |

Very cool review style. Love the spinning platter used for the Arrow BD display. What is that, BTW?

Nice to meet you and welcome to the forum! :) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anself-Powe...+Display+stand Though sadly the Build quality isnt that great (The whole things pretty much just a lump of weak plastic) and shortly after recording the packaging Shot for the review that went up this week the motor burnt out on it (It could barely spin with an empty DVD case on it) So for the time being it's had to remain stationary...though I may pick a better quality one up in the near future because I like being able to show the entire packaging :) Also cheers for noticing my little stylistic choices xD I spent a while trying to figure out how I was going to present my reviews and settled on the split screen because I thought it would give me a bit more scope in terms of showing multiple things without having to rely on cutting away (Particularly if I wanted to run comparisons) :) I really like Cohens style but finding his films in the UK can be a bit tricky (Which is why I adore companies like Arrow for finally bringing quite a lot of Obscure materials to UK shores) I hope you have more luck with it a second time than you did the first :) for me this film gets a bit better with each viewing :) |
@TYTD
If you do find a reliable lazy susan, I'd be interested in hearing about it. I may even beat you to it, thanks for the link! I see these things as being potentially valuable for some special effect work that sure would beat hours of After Effect diddling. If only there was a way to key out the transparent acrylic base platter. Trial and error, I suppose. Anyway, yes. Cohen seems to make solid movies. It's his writing that I've been noticing. He's funny and real. He incorporates goofy details into his script which is a real delight for some people who can appreciate it. EDIT: there is a way to key it. Just paint it green. Of course that's gonna hafta be some serious ultra key pull happening since it's right on top of the platter. Lol. Now I'm just being silly. I'll send you a PM if I have any luck haha.:p |

Its a big one today :) One of my all time favourite films! Eraserhead (1977) :)

Ahh thanks :D it's been a firm favourite of mine since I was in my teens so it was nice to be able to approach it from a different angle rather than just having it on to appreciate the visuals (That lighting...Phwarrr!) :D
LOL. Very disturbing movie. I dont remember a whole lot about it except for Henry and the lighting. I think I blocked everything else out. |

xD Quite a few people I know have had similar experiences to yours. I cant quite explain it really, Lynch just has this style and vibe thats so hard to explain but It really just clicks with me...he's quite a binary director though you either absolutely worship the ground he walks on or he's an absolute hack I've never met someone who was just like "Meh, he's okay" :laugh:

It just freaks me out, and your review is probably the only one I've listened to yet. Am I saying it;s a bad thing this movie seemed to have an impact but I cant bring myself to rewatch? Hellz no. I love my reaction to it. It's like being smacked in the solar plexus and never forgetting what it felt like to have the air sucked out of you.

Re: TYTD/Red Triangle Reviews
I didnt know anything about it. Boyfriend and bestie just saw it was playing at a really cool arthaus cinema in a trendy student burb in sydney so we went along to be the then hipsters. Walked out traumatised. It was probably my most memorable cinema experience I've ever had. Still laughing at boyfriend saying (almost screaming) No not discussing it. I actually ran into him a few years ago and during chat asked if he has ever discussed it since. He said 'No, not talking about it'. LOL.

This week I delved into the old Public domain collection and found this strange piece of cinema history xD |
Re: TYTD/Red Triangle Reviews
Very entertaining review, matey. I especially love the music. Nice touch.
