That one was a 3.2 at best.  He's not got the stamina 

That wasn't a rant, that was merely an observation.

#fsn. Ouch!

David Hemmings dies in the end!

Now I've ruined the film for you!

Noooooooooo!      


P.S. btw I echo Techno's comments (you do know I was kidding  ) ... and getagrip's too (!) .....  ]

flippin'neck! 

It was a long time ago, but I've had an aversion to the Crimean War since. Also, I've never been able to eat cooked tomatoes. 

Right. Who's going to top that for a film memory? 

I remember as a young lad being shocked at seeing John Wayne's intestines hanging off a Mexican lance at the end of The Alamo.

Can't top it but when I lived in Hong Kong there was a Chinese community just down the hill at Lai Chi Kok which had a cinema. They used to show all kinds of films and as there was no rating system at even at seven years old I paid my 5c (1d in old money)and got in. I remember there was one particular film about St. George getting his beloved kidnapped by a wicked witch and he got all the European patron saints together on a quest find her. One by one they all died in horrible -remember I was seven- ways. One fell in a pit of acid, another got instant plague and that kind of thing. I had nightmares for at least a week afterwards. Still sends shudders down my spine and was over 50 years ago!

Sounds like "The Magic Sword" from 1962.  I first saw it in the MST3K version, so to me it was hilarious (though I agree the curses the knights fall to are unpleasant).

Hannibal Lecter cooking and feeding Ray Liotta's character parts of his brain while he was still alive and talking. That gave me a shudder!    

Maenoferren - my kids too !  ('grown ups' now, of course).

Whoever concocted that character was messed up

The bit where his face came sideways at the window

having seen some more recent Ray Liotta films, that may not have been special effects. 

My youngest lad who's 32 can't watch ET. H e saw it as a small and when Elliot first meets ET in the cornfield and they scare the bejasus out of each other, that was echoed in our lounge at the same time.

Well getting this discussion vaguely back on track...

The work tonight... sprayed and undercoated,
am now in the process of dry brushing the bases... photos in a bit
can you spot the one I forgot to spray black?

I can. Do I win anything?
