They just lounge around, staring at ceilings, and when they're not doing that, they're sun baking, riding bikes, rooting anything that breathes, and whatever. I was tempted to switch it off but mum was like "oh no, I like the scenery in this movie", so I had to persevere. I surprisingly really enjoyed that film. Beautifully shot, and swoons on the laissez-faire attitude and heartache of a summer romance. It might not feature a classic Robbins score, but it has the Ivory touch of class with Guadagino's more youthful language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 The People That Time Forgot (1977) Ended up putting this thing on as a pallet cleansing B-adventure romp, and to hear some J. Scott music. Notable for two aspects: Because of these two aspects, twas a very easy viewing indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,529 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Dracula (1979) No, I don't understand how I'm not getting tired of all the Draculas, either, but there's only one more left towards the end. On 10/11/2018 at 9:28 PM, Holko said: I would have loved to see more of the Count Dracula instead of the Vampire Monster Dracula - moving around his castle, conversing with people, being a man as well as a beast. Well I certainly got that with Langella. I quite liked it overall, we see Dracula being more civilised and human, seducing and hypnotising women instead of immediately sneaking up for the bite when they're asleep. A bit slow and dragging, no big standout performances, but the mood is right. I don't see any problem with the grading, it fits and isn't obnoxious... *checks how it looked originally* Oh. HOW ARE THERE NO UNION RULES AGAINST THIS? OK, the original is a bit overboard and messes with the atmosphere, but to make it unavailable and hide production design behind a wall of grey? Score was pretty good. It was fun to see Sylvester McCoy as a featured extra. Langella trying to pronounce "magyar" and "székely" and implying there are major dialect differences between them is the most entertaining thing in the film. Mina's vampire makeup genuinely creeped me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,529 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 The trailer is probably the closest we'll get to it for a while barring cropped Laserdisc transfers, I found no available serious efforts of fan recolors besides some screenshots: Meanwhile Team Negative 1 are planning to waste their time cleaning up a 4K scan of Raiders.

Holko 9,529 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Some shots like the barge are quite grainy, but I guess they'll also have a DNR version of this, too, some CC could also help.
