Very often when I visit 1337X to look at available movies, I see some old ones which reappear under the H265 format, which I don't have, however it's a good reminder for me to search for the H264 version to download, which I did last night with an old movie called "Straw Dogs", with Dustin Hoffman and Susan George.

 

I remember bits about it from when I first saw it, however seeing it again through a whole new different light on it for me, because it was pretty obvious that Susan George got her just rewards (in the film) through her taunting, and also seemed to enjoy it, which was something I never picked up on originally.

 

Quite a few other little scenarios I didn't catch on to 1st time round, so it was a worthwhile watch again.
 

Awesome movie .. I was in my pushchair at the time, but just imagine what a stir it must have caused in 1971.

 

If you are looking for the version to keep hold of, there is a Criterion collection 4K restoration with a commentary.

It is excellent!

Though I must admit I was confused by the ending so I had to look it up for an explanation.

Concur, also thought it was quite a good film.

 

The ending was a surprise.

That Dirty Black Bag

RAR

 

Summary: A raw, epic and romantic spaghetti western series about the dark side of the Far West.

 

 

 

Just finished watching the last episode of Pam and Tommy. I did not really expect a lot from this series but found it really entertaining.  It has a rating of 7.5 on imdb and 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. I think others may enjoy it as well.

 

 

I'm just over half way through season 1 of 1883. It's already been mentioned by a few people. I'm enjoying it and I  think it's very good. Well worth a look IMHO.

I thought I was the only person irritated by the accent of the narration of 1883.

Watched " The Bombardment ".

 

The timing I guess reminds the mistakes of war.

Obviously getting a 9/10 viewer rating on IMDb, the narration didn't irritate too many!????

Personally I thought it was brilliant and added to viewer general satisfaction.

 

It was reminiscent of the narration in Ken Burns' The Civil War.

I don't recall anyone doing a fake accent in the the narration in Ken Burns' The Civil War.

 

I am glad the accent in the narration did not irritate you but I was surprised to see userabcd bring it up so had to agree.

You compared 1883 narration to Ken Burns' The Civil War. One has a bad fake accent the other does not so not a fair comparison. My point is a bad accent can be irritating. I still watched 1883 but will not miss the bad accent in season 2.

 

Sorry if I was not clear it was the bad southern accent of the narration in 1883 that I did not like.  I have heard a number of people talk about Dick Van Dyke's accent in Mary Poppins and the 1883 accent makes me understand how they feel.

With respect I did not compare anything.

 

Maybe you need to look up the meaning of reminiscent in the context that it was used.

 

ie The narration "tended to remind me" of the narration from  Ken Burns' etc. Which it did!

 

Am I not entitled to an opinion, as you are? Different strokes etc....

OK you are right. I'm wrong the southern accent was wonderful and not irritating at all.

Well I'm just glad y'all know what a 139 year old accent sounds like.

From what I have read there may be a season 2 but? See this website for info: https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/a39122946/1883-season-2/

Watched Blacklight last night. The new one from Liam Neeson. Wish I hadn't. Apart from being too old to play action man any more, he's now making woke movies. I go to his movies for action, death and mayhem. I don't go to see family man with a mental conflict, and second rate ethnic minority actors put in to tick the boxes.

I won't be seeing any more Neeson movies for sure.

I saw the trailer last night. Can't be bothered paying to see it. If the trailer doesn't catch my interest I'll be keeping my money.

I wasn't and saw it then but while it was certainly a good movie I don't recall any uproar about at the time.

Remind me, haven't seen it for years, but I thought the ending was pretty straightforward, ie a pitched battle between Dustin and the local rednecks, where he clearly was the winner.

It was originally given an X rating, cut and then reclassified. It was on the video nasties list and banned from video release for 20 years.
