Finished watching The Stand miniseries tonight...
Oh boy... Judge, Dana, Glen, Ralph & Larry :sorrow: ... I felt sorry in the end for Nadine and Harold too. Oh and Trashy! He ended up being one of my favourite characters.

So... Stephen had a lot of cameo spots, I can't believe how young he was in this!

P.S Miniseries Larry was hot!

I think I got made fun of...

No, though I'm not sure what it does mean. SHEEMIEE himself knows not, a fact which while not comforting is yet curious.

No no no - be comforted madam ... No malice was or is - ever intended . My rambling head is often misread as a sneer , but it's all just badly written sarcasm .

Cry pardon -

(And I don't know which is 1 - 2 or 3 for real)

Life for your crops :)

I've finally gotten around to watching "The Shining" miniseries (I'll finish it tonight). It's not bad. More of a slow-burn than the Kubrick one.

I also watched "Audition" on the weekend. That was a disturbing movie.

I think we may have a more disturbing "hobbling" scene than "Misery" (the novel), which I always suspected was impossible.

Holy crap. Just watched this wild pre-code talkie KONGO (1931). Walter Huston rips it up as a paraplegic white-ju ju ring leader of a dark African colony, consumed by vengeance. All kinds of taboo subjects that would never have passed the Hays Office. Everybody all sweaty, dirty, scarred and wicked. Big twist ending, makes everything even worse. Great performances. Virginia Bruce as the tramped-out, kidnapped daughter of Huston's enemy. Conrad Nagel great as a fugitive doctor, strung out on some kinda root (very Burroughsian). Lupe Valez all scuzzy and wicked. Walter Huston is just nasty and mean. Shades of Joseph Conrad.

Love getting taken by surprise by some old creepy flick like this. Thumbs up.

Oh man me too, nothing better in life. The surprise ones, especially found by oneself are the best.

Many of my favorite obscure ones I was turned on to by friends. What makes them so special, valuable to my thinking, is how rare such finds are. I can't think of very many movies which fall into this category of favorites, but Dead of Night (1945) and Julia and Julia (1987; aka Giulia y Giulia) are two of them. Other favorites which I've personally "discovered" include Identity, The Fugitive, and The Game.
