As a matter of fact, I watched like half an hour, thought it was kinda boring, turned it off and then viewed the rest of it on the next day and really enjoyed it then. The main issue is that it takes some time before the movie gets really started and the pacing is on the slower side. It’s not perfect, it has its faults and is slightly underwhelming considering the great cast, but it’s still pretty cool and looks quite unique. I liked it.

Just finished watching Figures in a Landscape on YouTube. I’m amazed this movie isn’t better known, I found it astounding.

Honestly, I’d never even heard of it. Robert Shaw and Malcolm McDowell makes it worth checking out though. Thanks for posting this.

Returned to the master last night…Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 epic masterpiece, ‘Seven Samurai’.
Followed by a 60th anniversary viewing of ‘The Innocents’ (1961); which I regard as one of the greatest ‘haunted house’ films of all time.

I have never once thought of Gunpowder Milkshake as a kid’s movie. I guess it was about a kid though so… 
It was the one I watched in short chunks 
These movies of online services makes it easier to start and stop when yoe want but I like to watch them from start to end. The family does not allow that always … Therewith I have a number of movies which are watched not even halfway.
