Intrigued to know how he’d be in an entirely illustrated picture without it, TBF.
just watched Ms 45, Abel Ferrara’s cult thriller about a deaf woman who goes on a revenge killing spree in 80’s New York
probably one of Ferrara’s most purely enjoyable films, has a slight John Carpenter vibe
this is a tune too:
Oh had no idea he directed it! Watched it with my friend years ago who was really into those twisted cult films and I’d never heard of it before, so it feels sort of disconnected from “real” films to me
Ditto for Thesis, Long Pigs etc etc
Loads of Danish, Norwegian and Swedish films have just been added to UK netflix.
Anyone got any recommendations from this lot?

Reprise and Terribly Happy seem to be the picks from there, maybe Next Door and Triple Dare, too.
Did this get posted at the time? Love Lucy’s videos. Seen 65% of the films covered with 66 more on the watchlist.

The new Paul Greengrass/Tom Hanks film is on Netflix now
Van Damme - gotta be bloodpsort, although kickboxer and awol are class, as is timecop and universal soldier. And then there’s hard target…don’t make me choose.
Seagal - Probably Hard to Kill. Although on deadly ground has some of the most awful/amazing lines ever.
I’ve not seen that before. It’s got me quite emotional at the reminder of going to the cinema to watch a film.
Where did you watch Ms 45 please?
There’s absolutely no logic to this, but this feels like exactly the sort of film I’d happily go and watch at the cinema but that I’ve got absolutely no interest in watching now. Feel like that with a lot of the Netflix originals tbh.
the exact reason it took me 2+ years to watch the last Coens film, despite being a fanboy generally
Netflix films just don’t seem that “real” to me, for no good reason
Yeah, absolutely this. Still haven’t watched Roma ffs.

I did but that’s because I caught it on the cinema run, otherwise I’d be in the same boat
Private Life, an acclaimed understated drama involving Paul Giamatti and Kathryn Hahn, two of my favourite current actors? YES. Oh it’s on Netflix only? Maybe in 2023 …
Much harder to concentrate on ostensibly quite boring films at home, isn’t it.
At the cinema: I am so engrossed in this beautiful character drama
At home: haha funny cat on Instagram fall over, wait what just happened?
this obviously just marks me out as a pretty lazy viewer, but I never watch subtitled things at home. While I do try to concentrate as much as possible and ignore my phone etc, I know I can lose focus for a few minutes of an American character drama and not miss too much; do the same with a film where I don’t understand the language and I could have missed a few absolutely essential plot points without even realising it
I’ve not looked at whats on yet but if Next Door is where a bloke goes to his two female neighbours and it descends into chaos, thats definitely a film you won’t forget in a hurry
Head Count was not as good as you all said it would be here and / or in the horror thread
There was an idea in there somewhere but they fluffed it
