That Christmas special used to be available on RUclips but it disappeared about 2 years ago.

Much respect to the quality and variety in these roundtables. I look forward to every one.

Revisiting this, again. I'm somewhat reminded of another discussion. Intolerance! M.R. is a movie about intolerance towards crime, criminals and human fallibility. Some things that are always contemporary. Contemporary contempt. Huh. Another rambling: After looking at M.R., I wonder how a Judge Dredd movie by Spielberg would look like. Or S. Craig Zahler instead! Vince Vaughn could play Dredd. He is a robust guy. But I've only watched parts of M.R to be honest. I should watch it completely.

oh dear. You guys remind me of myself last week, reviewing the book but really actually writing it because the writer made some bad creative choices. Thanks for the review.

Unhinged is one of the best movies of all time imo

The stunts in this amazing film, deserved an Oscar 😉♥️ 🇱🇺

The fact is White wants to be considered one of the greatest film critics of all time, along with Pauline Kael and Andrew Sarris. But he is not in league with them because, in their day, film critics were of higher importance than they are nowadays. He can be very thought provoking when he is not busy trying to settle some scores, like with why the world ( and the Internet ) doesn't recognize his self importance.

No question about their influence on film making, but, it's their messages and imagery that is what's most troubling. And truth be told, far better movies have been made since these were made more than a hundred years ago.

Dammit how did I miss this

Really don't want to live through another pandemic but...at least we might get a cleaned up version of that Rocky V work edit! In all seriousness, I love the fact that Stalone revisited IV and spoke pretty candidly about his regrets and how he's grown as a filmmaker. There are plenty of other movies which could receive the same treatment.

More Armond White episodes. His thoughts on "Making Wes Anderson Great Again"?

Controversial it may be... but I know the reason why his recent work hasnt been his best. It's his partner. Since he has been engaged to Charlotte Kirk he has co-written nearly every film with her and he has put her in the lead role every time. The problem is, she cannot act or write to save her life and he clearly refuses to accept that (or she is pushing him to do this). I honestly think if he dropped his constant promotion of her, wrote a film himself and kept her far, far away from it, it would probably be amazing.

Another great discussion, guys. I still haven't seen the directors cut of IV. I guess it's an excuse to rewatch the whole series.

The Rocky V workprint is great! Ive been waiting for an official HD release which Stallone has talked about getting released but now unfortunately it probably won't because of his beef with Winkler

Hello

I didn't go in expecting an edge of your seat thriller, the trailer looked like hokey to me. I thought there were a lot of fun scenarios, I actually laughed out loud when the woman had her face burned off with frying oil, it was so over the top. Reminded me of the new "Hitman" video games.

She Hulk is worst

Was John Stearne Mary Stearne father that married Balthazar Von Kramer?

When I was 13 back in 1965, my father had some comedy albums like Redd Foxx, Moms Mabley and Godfrey Cambridge. So, I got a sense of where Mr. Cambridge humor was coming from. No foul language was used in any of these albums. Society was white and black. One can understand why Cambridge would play such a part knowing his past. 1971 was the beginning of the blacksploitation movies e.g., Superfly, Shaft and Sweet Sweetback showing blacks in other that subservient roles. We all knew that this was the beginning. There was some obvious undertones played out in the movie that most black people would immediately pick up on. The skin color thing was loud & clear but the cultural impacts was left up to the audience to interpret.

This was a fantastic conversation! I found I agreed and disagreed with all of you at some point or the other. For my money, the first film is the only one that is a real film. As enjoyable as Rocky II is, I don't think it has nearly the amount of authenticity and nuance. It feels like a movie made to provide the wish fulfillment for the audiences that wanted him to win in the first place. I hate that Stallone disregards the whole eye/southpaw issue from II when we get into RIII and moving forward. I think RIII is absolutely sliding into the cartoon era, and RIV is that cartoon fully realized. While I agree with Ian in that RIV is not a good movie from a narrative and character standpoint, I can also appreciate it for the cartoon that it is. I can totally see how it is somebody's favorite in the series without it being the "best." For my money, it's easily the most rewatchable of the bunch because it is that perfect distillation of the series. Kind of like how Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is the best of those films, because it puts all the elements together. (That said, I think there is an argument to be made that F13FC is also the "best" of those films, while RIV is not.)

Absolutely love Rocky. Well written, sympatheitc characters, great performances and that ending - gets me every time!

Omigosh youve never seen the village? I love that movie. I even wrote an academic essay defending it. The power of fear to protect. Wrongheaded or not. Give it a chance.

Seems as if Night should not attempt crime thrillers. A whole nother skillset needed to write crime stories than specfic. He should take courses or watch more true crime.

Lol. His ability is getting people to tell him stuff.

I NEED to be on the Rocky IV show (fyi).

They're all kind of the same one dimensional character and are just there to complement Wolverine's character development. If these washed up losers who've seemingly lost everything can still fight and die for something, then so can he. X-23 could've had more than one dialogue scene to flesh her out as a foil, though.

The reason why some opinions suck. Fuck this guy for sure

Taylor kitsch should've came back as gambit

"Parade of Grasshoppers" LOL!! 😂 Wasn't that the title of an unreleased album from Iron Butterfly circa 1968?

Mark with the twizzlers - LOL

The directors full name is Giuseppe Avati his stage name also brings out the Beavis and Butthead in me for that’s the reason I call him Giuseppe Avati

I arrived just for the goodbye🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ ...have to settle for watching it offline...😤😤😤

Jen Kirkman is weird she blocked me on Twitter and never interacted with her lol

He never blocked the door and even this awful doc never claimed he did

Divine!

oakes is terrific. a very moving brilliant movie, really enjoyed it.

25:15 Besides the obvious exhibitionism, it's provocation. He is a sex addict and wants other people to join him in "debauchery". A sex dirtbag. I was listening to a podcast of "reactionary" commentators from England and they were discussing the painter Francis Bacon. He was of the post-WW2 generation and , going from the commentary from the podcast, had a knack for serving a little extra alcohol to his guests. Guess to make them lose their inhibitions. Louis likely is on the same ballpark. Sex addict that is always chasing the latest high. He thought that now that he had made it to the "Big City", away from the prudes and now he can jerk off, drink alcohol and call hookers anytime he wanted to. As a comic he had a life on the road, spending hours driving and living in hotel rooms likely watching hours and hours of the porn channels. Giving birth to the anomie. I can think of another comic that could get in trouble anytime. But his fetish is ... special and few would thread there.

Saw it when it came out

Great discussion!

I have to take small issue with the critique of the insertion of the”Strange Love” segment to the soundtrack: It was sappy, syrupy, and ridiculously mawkish-perfect for Lust for a Vampire.

I love the Hammer films but I feel like they had started to run out of steam by this point. There were a few gems left to come but it was mostly downhill from this period on. Amicus were producing much better and memorable films around the same time (in my opinion) . Hope you guys enjoy your next return to Hammerland a lot more.

Good point about showing how other regions, etc reacted to the invasion. Day one was over all too quickly, so it's not really Day one, is it? I understand that we're living through our heroine's eyes. But her being knocked out, albeit plausible that such a thing should happen, was a creative cheat.

What a disappointment this review is. So much wrong with it. Firstly, before you pontificate, check your history. Vampires were always content in light until the 20th century when the film Nosferatu was released. It is a modern myth. Secondly check the pronunciation of the name of the main actress before recording it wrongly & disrespectfully . .And how can you pompously state a view when you admit you were distracted throughout, even possibly missing the final half hour. I would like to point out the stunning cinematography, shown up beautifully in the more recent release of the BluRay , the superb British actors universally employed,( there are actually no poor performances) & the light hearted & fun feel to the whole movie; if you like, a Disneyfied take on The Karnstein story. A shameful review in my opinion.

I know thte actual house is Dawes Farm in Farmhurst, West Suffolk. It's still standing but remodelled.

Ralph Bates was in a much loved UK comedy called 'Dear John' , and was also the great, great , grandson of Louis Pasteur, fyi.

Very glad I happened upon your discussion on this film! My favorite film (along with 2049) I saw the film when I was 15, blew my mind! Loved it! Was my fist dvd purchase and then my first blu-ray! So it's my opinion that Deckard is human! The original book he's human, the two screenplays he's human, and despite the ambiguous and more overt comments by Scott...the story works so much better with him as a human. So in my Bladerunner world he's human! Works for me and I'm sticking with it lol Thanks for the discussion!!! - The animals were extinct (or extremely rare) and illustrate the loss due to ecological collapse. - The photos are from Rachael's (used by Tyrell to reinforce their implanted memories) They're not Deckard's pictures. And he's drinking and musing...which could naturally lead to his "dream sequence) btw - Might be of interest: "In the documentary Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner, Hauer, director Ridley Scott, and screenwriter David Peoples confirm that Hauer significantly modified the speech. In his autobiography, Hauer said he merely cut the original scripted speech by several lines, adding only, "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain". One earlier version in Peoples' draft screenplays was: I've known adventures, seen places you people will never see, I've been Offworld and back… frontiers! I've stood on the back deck of a blinker bound for the Plutition Camps with sweat in my eyes watching stars fight on the shoulder of Orion... I've felt wind in my hair, riding test boats off the black galaxies and seen an attack fleet burn like a match and disappear. I've seen it, felt it...![ And, the original script, before Hauer's rewrite, was: I've seen things... seen things you little people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion bright as magnesium... I rode on the back decks of a blinker and watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments... they'll be gone. Hauer described this as "opera talk" and "hi-tech speech" with no bearing on the rest of the film, so he "put a knife in it" the night before filming, without Scott's knowledge. After filming the scene with Hauer's version, crew-members applauded, with some even in tears. In an interview with Dan Jolin, Hauer said that these final lines showed that Batty wanted to "make his mark on existence ... the replicant in the final scene, by dying, shows Deckard what a real man is made of"." - wikipedia Again (imo) pointing to Deckard being human. Also in 2049 he has aged. It's very apparent 😉

This story screams remake The novel by Matheson is a classic. The important P.G. rating or G.P. rating to get the kids in kind of toned down the scares stated in the novel. As it stands the film in okay. Specially in set, photography, acting, directing dept. Loads of atmosphere. The climax with R.M. screaming in the wind did nothing for me, kind of a anticlimactic choice. However it was interesting seeing good old Michael Gough as Balasko's corpse.

Voting for Kennedy 2024 you should be like a music celebrity bro. Kennedy III hell yeah

The log splitter was disappointing, the hooks were very creatively utilized

I had to turn this off halfway through because I just got sick of Jeff being all holier-than-thou and talking over Cati the whole time. This video draws an interesting parallel to the movie it discusses in that we spend entirely too much time on one man's point of view and are given very little payoff for it.
