[quote=“Yodlaf Peterson, post:6475, topic:1923”]Your welcome, and talking of Blue-Underground I’ve just watched…
The House By The Cemetery - Watched the blu ray this evening, it looks fantastic.
This used to be my second favourite Fulci horror (after The Beyond) but I’d say it’s more than likely my favourite one now upon revisiting it, probably down to the atmosphere.

[quote=“I love you M.E. Kay, post:6470, topic:1923”]North by Northwest by Alfred Hitchcock (1959)
Technically brilliant and finely acted, but hot damn I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about how the plot evolved after the initial premise (which sounded really cool) nor could I give one for the characters. Also, I absolutely couldn’t buy the romance between Cary Grant’s character and Eva Marie Saint’s, not that the age gap bothered me - although the fact that he looked like Eve’s father and that his mother looked like his wife was weird - but that M. Thornhill seemed quite dull (even his flirting, though well-written, felt dull to me) and for a pair of people falling in love I couldn’t detect much chemistry between them. But at least most of everything else was fine and apart for the Mount Rushmore scene, the action was pretty good, Martin Landau was intimidating and there was a few iconic and fun moments, so I was at least half-entertained.[/quote]
I respect your opinion (do you like Hitchcock films in general as this is very much his atypical movie), but for me, North by Northwest just grows in my estimation upon every viewing - the romance, the comedy, the action, the acting and the impeccable direction all combine together to make one of the most purely enjoyable films I have ever seen.
[quote=“ENNIOO, post:6476, topic:1923”]My favourite Fulci Horror aswell. Remember viewing a heavily cut version first time around, and was pretty surprised when first getting to see it uncut.[/quote]My favourite Fulci is probably a Lizard In A Woman’s Skin or Don’t torture A Duckling.
I’m not very familiar with Hitchcock, I’ve only watched two of his films, one I loved (Psycho) and one I liked (Rear Window - despite not being all that enamoured with Grace Kelly and James Stewart). Maybe I need to get more familiar with Grant’s acting style, but he, or his character, did absolutely nothing for me in North by Northwest.
An atypical typo is an atypo, and atypical topic a typic, an atypical Hitchcock a Hitchkick, a great Hitchcock a Hitcock, a bad Hitchcock a Misscock (sounds too much like a tranny according to some).
Wow, I just tried to make a lame joke and I see I unleashed madness. I am glad that I arrived after the post was edited [size=5pt](especially since the tranny was ugly)[/size]
(I should reread my posts better in future).
