Any fans of Ligeti? I got to know the man thanks to Kubrick, obviously. Been something of a fan ever since. His music is not for everyone, though. By the way, should anyone wonder what turned me into Debussy fan, here's his best work in my opinio…

I will pick DN over DAF and AVTAK any day. It's still one of the best in the series for me. The film moves fast, keeps things simple, and already establishes many of the iconic elements of the Bond films. It's also a sexy, exotic thriller with one o…

I liked what Ireland brought to the contest this year.

@mtm I agree that TB remains a bit vague regarding the urgency of Bond's actions. However, since GF and YOLF both rely on a climactic countdown (and the next couple of films have them too), I welcome a movie that doesn't show us a ticking clock eve…

I rather like that we don't see too much of the bombs again in TB. It gives them an element of menace. We know that Spectre has them but we don't know where they are kept. Not knowing where they are also means that you and I could be sitting on them…

I watched PARADISE LAGOON the other day, also known as THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON, a 1957 romantic adventure comedy directed by none other than Lewis Gilbert. While certainly an entertaining film, nothing about this one screamed "Bond director!" (fun fa…

EVIL DEAD II Nothing scares me more than horror veering into comedy out of fear of an X rating. The MPAA, always the priggish and sanctimonious lot, made it exceptionally hard for creative horror filmmakers in the 1980s to release their films…

CR67 is a delicious orgy of madness, replete with hilarious cameos and gorgeous women. I am devastated that such an outrageously screwed up work of (f)art, an epic fail if ever I saw one, a perfectly inspirational, spiritual experience, is so shamel…

The Eurovision Song Contest began in 1956 with the following competing countries: France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Italy, Germany and Belgium. No UK, Australia, Scandinavian countries, Israel, and so on. Just the very west of conti…

Looks like if we had a classic music thread, we'd be fighting immediately. 😁 I appreciate Mozart but his music doesn't hold a candle to Debussy's symphonies IMO and yes, I know that's not exactly a popular opinion. 😇
