  • Coffey on blu ray. 1973 blacksploitation at its near best. Pam Grier ruled back then. By no means a great movie, but a cool time capsule with some surprising moments.

  • mtm wrote: » It’s a very lovely score The idea was, as with CR, he doesn’t have his mojo yet, so the march isn’t there. The film is very carefully thought about. That was my take as well.
  • As I have just recently slipped into a bout of depression, I suddenly see the brilliance of NTTD. Must get the blu ray...
  • j_w_pepper wrote: » the score is, in my opinion, probably one of the best that John Williams ever composed, and probably the best overall of the Indiana Jones movies. Wow! That's saying something!

  • I also just found out that they cut some scenes out of the original 1973 movie most notably a moment when a guest was put on the rack by a host during the 'revolt' and his arms popped their sockets and he was screaming.... gotta keep that PG rating.…
  • So I watched season one for the second time a couple of weeks ago in prep for season two, then I watched the first three second season eps over 3 days, then the next day watched the remaining seven in one sitting. One thing this series is not, and t…

  • Just got Titan's new Conan comic (2nd issue came out today), and boy is it good. Like the old Savage Sword Of Conan but in colour. https://aiptcomics.com/2023/08/01/conan-the-barbarian-1-review/

  • Thinking about it and I got a nice Fleming-Lite vibe from Trigger Mortis. The only non-Fleming book to give me a serious Fleming vibe was Colonal Sun. Christopher Wood's Spy Who Loved Me also gave me nice Fleming vibes. So yeah, this one is definite…
  • Just finished Trigger Mortis, and I quite enjoyed it, much more so than Devil May Care (and I *did* like that one). The race scene was particularly well written IMO. Great plot, it all came together well in the end. I need to read his other two asap…

  • J. Lee Thompson directed the last two Apes movies in the 70's. I thought he did a wonderful job on both, given the TV movie budgets. And his Cape Fear was so much better than the remake. ColonelSun wrote: » Actually, I was the second assistant fi…
