Nausicaa great film love studio ghibli.

yeah... it's no Office Space tho.

tru fact, but my fave line "it's like we've wandered into the mind of an asshole" has had me chuckling for days.

'Senna' - excellent. Shorter and infinitely more interesting than watching an interminable F1 race.

Going to get that soon, looks promising. Also fancy picking up 'Zidane', as I very much like the conceit of filming just a single player throughout a game of football. Will Zen me right out I hope.

BPitt Eraserhead - YouTube

Does anybody genuinely enjoy Eraserhead? I love Lynch but I cannot abide that bloody film.

Interesting piece well shot, but he only starts giving insights about 3/4 of the way through. he is an amazing man, and the match.. well. scores one, sets one up and gets sent off. can't ask for more than that

I didn't realise there was any participation from him other than him prancing about the pitch like a ballerina and revelling in his genius, so anything else is a bonus.

I first saw it late night C4 as a teenager, but never remembered what it was called and then spent the next who knows how many years asking people if they ever saw a film with a guy with big hair and a weird baby and a lady in a radiator - I actually thought I must have made it up in my feeble teenage mind, until someone asked me if I had ever seen this film....blah blah....

Yeah I like it - not sure I could sit through it again like....

Speaking of Studio Ghibli, this will invite comparison.

Stunningly illustrated & great music. It's a Japanese version of Orpheus and Eurydice.

"The film's main subjects work for an innovative organization, CeaseFire, which believes that the spread of violence mimics the spread of infectious diseases, and so the treatment should be similar: go after the most infected, and stop the infection at its source. The singular mission of the "Violence Interrupters" - who have credibility on the streets because of their own personal histories -- is to intervene in conflicts before they explode into violence."

On the Waterfront and The Wild One.

Avoid Superman and if you only want to see the side of his big, bald head then watch Apocalypse Now.

In other news, I watched My Week with Marilyn last night. Michelle Williams gave a tremendous performance of a woman who by that time was so spangled on uppers, downers and every which wayers it was amazing that she was able to be upright at all. She portrays Marilyn as the seriously fragile woman that she really was - always looking for some sort of approval from whomever was present. Having never really rated her as an actress, I will watch The Prince and the Showgirl again with a different view.

Kenneth Brannigan was his usual "Cambridge Footlights" self giving a solid performance as Olivier - even with his dubious accent.

Emma Watson was shocking. Her wig looked like it had been kicked around the dressing room floor and was less convincing than one of Terry Wogan's. The you fella who played Colin Clark (whose week it was) gave an excellent performance as the impressionable chap who hopelessly falls for Norma Jean Baker.

All in all, I think that Michelle Williams is an actress who has the potential for some monumental performances in the future.

On the Waterfront is dull.

"I coulda been someone - I coulda been a contender Charlie!"

This is probably one of the finest pieces of cinema ever produced. Simply lit, powerful performances and no CGI shite.

This is when Movie Icons were exactly that - as opposed to the selection of two-bob tits that we have paraded before us...

Also fancy picking up 'Zidane', as I very much like the conceit of filming just a single player throughout a game of football. Will Zen me right out I hope.

The sound design -by Mogwai I think- stops it from being a zen-like experiece (in a good way) but it is very mesmeric.
Watch it on the biggest screen you can for best effect..

Superman. Pretend he's your dad and that you can lob cars about and do that spinny thing that reverses time.

Then have wank fantasies about your dad.

Even by your standards that's kind of dark Luci.
