Bollocks! Better start training then. I’ve entered the ballot every year for the last 8-9 years and never got lucky. Looks like this year is my year. Let’s hope it will actually take place rather than last years virtual one.

How many hours do you sleep? 1 2

Simple question, how many hours do you sleep every night? I try to get at least 8 hours most nights, although it usually ends up closer to 7. No matter how long I sleep, it's always a massive effort to get up which sucks. On the weekends or when I have work off, I'll usually sleep far more, quiet easily 10 or more hours, mostly because it's too hard to get up isn't it great to not have kids yet

Firstly before getting into anything I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that I have come into contact or played with over the past 9-10 months. I have been suffering with a health condition known as cyclical vomitting disorder for a lttle over 6 years (unfortunately we are yet to discover the trigger/cause)... This has caused me to lose a large portion of my IRL life, however the biggest loss has by far and away been my career which was really starting to take off, with me beginning to get offers of festival stage management and booking roles... Over the past 3 years I had slipped to a low point in my mental health and at times had been consideri…

The problem with fruit

Is that you don't know what it's going to taste like until you start eating it. I'm trying to eat more healthy seeing as I'm meant to be running a marathon in 8 months time (fuck! Why did I agree to that?!) I've just had 2 tangerine. Both look identical, one was bitter, the other really sweet. Then the grapes were as sharp as anything! I bet the apple I'm about to eat is mushy and not crisp just how I like 'em. At least with chocolate and sweets/candy you know where you're at!

Everyone needs food to survive. Sometimes we make good decisions and other times they are not so great. I personally changed my eating habits in July and got Sinister on board in November. Since then I am down 43 lbs and he is down about 15. I still have a way to go on my journey and am also looking for things to help me along the way. Eating healthy does not have to be boring and once I learned this, it has been a lot easier to lose the weight and make better choices for my family. I would like to use this thread to share recipes and hopefully get some in return. If you have pictures that would be great too. I will post new recipes often. I love to try new thi…

As I've mentioned before, I have a serious alcohol problem. If I start drinking I can't stop and my benders will go on for days. I've even sat on a park bench with super strength lager a number of times. Drinking has successfully ruined every aspect of my life - relationships, finances, mental and physical health, jobs, criminal record. The list goes on. I started drinking regularly when I was 15 which didn't cause any problems. I tended to drink slightly more than my friends but it never got me into any trouble. I began working in a shop with a pub nearby. Every day after work I'd walk past the pub and see all the customers I'd served having a great time in there. Ev…

0Improvised Formulation
I wanted to create a race but didn’t have much of an idea other than the location. So, I started putting down props without much thought of where it would go. I improvised the entire formation. 🙂 A rally race of sorts. Restricted to rally style vehicles. Best at night with HSW off.

158Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Arrival (2016) dir Denis Villneuve 12 alien space ships simultaneously appear at different locations around the globe. Linguistics expert Louise (Amy Adams) is brought into the team trying to communicate with one that landed in Montana, lead by Colonel Weber (Forest Whitaker) where she forms a strong working relationship with physicist Ian (Jeremy Renner). It's serious sci-fi rather an action film. It explores how we would communicate with a species that obviously not only does not speak our language, but does not even communicate in the same way we humans do. It also has sub plot concerning Louise and her daughter running through it that I can't say much more on without major spoilers, but this does add a lot ultimately. Another part of story is about how the 12 different countries the spaceships landed in work together, what they are willing to share with the others and what their governments decide needs to be kept secret. It's very well made and acted with some good music and the special effects are impressive. My one criticism is the plot is not well thought out in a couple of places. For example, early on when Col Weber asks Louise to translate a recording of the aliens speaking she shouldn't need to explain to him that he asking the impossible. How can she possibly instantly understand a language she not only does not speak but has never heard anything remotely similar to before? It's going to take time to understand the aliens. I don't think the audience needs to be told that. Another example is to do with the subplot I don't want to spoil. But I'll just say I think they missed an opportunity to bring in a little real physics to try and explain something the characters find inexplicable. Also if this ever did happen in reality then I don't think we would need to translate the alien language, because those way more advanced aliens, capable of interstellar travel and hiding their spaceships, would surely already have done similar to what Louise and her team do, to understand Earth languages before they arrive (by watching our TV!). But then this would be a rather short film, so I can let them off on this point. Overall very well worth watching if you like this sort of non-action sci-fi. 8 / 10- 2

What I Watched This Week #139 (August 26-Sep 1) The Edge of the World dir. Michael Powell/1937/1h15m The Edge of the World is an early film from Michael Powell and the one that launched his career. It tells the story of a small farming community on an isolated island far off the Scottish coast, the aging population eventually having to evacuate to the mainland, leaving their way of life behind. This is based on the true story of St Kilda. It is told in flashback by one of the three young people on the island at the time it was evacuated, Andrew (Niall MacGinnis). He was best friends with Robbie Manson (Eric Berry) and in love with his sister Ruth Manson (Belle Chrystall), while their father Peter (John Laurie, instantly recognisable to fans of sitcom Dad's Army) was the community leader, desperate to hang on to the old way of life. Tragedy and hardship are a constant here, which the villagers face with stoic pride, with Laurie giving a particularly strong performance. Although the film focuses mainly on the younger characters, this is Peter's story and his grim determination to carry on despite the mounting odds against him is really touching, with the final scenes as he resigns himself to fate and the future hitting hard. This is complimented with some gorgeous photography of the wild landscapes and raging seas. Some of the supporting performances aren't in the same league as Laurie but that doesn't detract too much from this gripping story. 8.5/10 A History of Violence dir. David Cronenberg/2005/1h36m When small-town family man Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen) kills a man in self defence as he tries to rob his diner he becomes a local celebrity and his past comes to say hello. What really struck me about this film is how generic it all feels and doesn't seem to fit in at all with Cronenberg's other work like Crash, The Fly, Videodrome or the recent Crimes of the Future. There's nothing particularly subversive here with the plot being very predictable and the characters one-dimensional. Mortensen is a solid lead, and Ed Harris is fun as a mob enforcer - and I can't forget William Hurt who turns up with five minutes to go and steals the whole film - but everyone else is pretty lacklustre, especially Ashton Holmes as Tom's whiny teenage son Jack. It's shot well and there are some scenes of pretty gruesome violence, but it lacks that creeping sense of dread and unease that usually permeates Cronenberg's films. This is still a good film, but in comparison to the director's other work it disappoints. 6/10 The Masque of the Red Death dir. Roger Corman/1964/1h30m This Edgar Allan Poe adaptation from the king of the b-movies Roger Corman stars Vincent Price as Prince Prospero, a sadistic ruler who delights in tormenting the peasants under his rule. When a plague known as the red death starts to sweep the land he locks himself in his castle with a bunch of his rich friends, throwing lavish parties that will end with a masquerade where they will summon Satan himself. Trapped with them is pretty villager Francesca (Jane Asher), who Prospero wants to use as his plaything. This is a lavish, vibrant, colourful production that gets the perfect mix of camp and creepy. I love that the longer we spend in the castle the more otherworldly the lighting and the camera angles become, culminating in a downright surreal ending. Price is captivating in the lead, the role seemingly made just for him. He can turn from playful to threatening in a second, his distinctive voice carrying just the right amount of menace. Just as good is Hazel Court as Prospero's wife Juliana, who is just as cruel and insane as he is. This is exactly the kind of classic horror that I love. 9/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Moana dir. John Musker, Ron Clements/2016/1h47m In ancient Polynesia Moana (Auli'i Cravalho), the adventurous daughter of an island chief, must defy her father and head out on the ocean to make demi-god Maui (The Rock) return the treasure he stole a thousand years ago in order to end a curse that's threatening her island. It's obvious when you watch this just why they chose to tell a story that's set mostly at sea, it's because they have absolutely nailed water animation. The oceans in this film look better than real footage of oceans. There's a real weight and thickness to every drop of water that feels just right. The story is pretty standard Disney princess fare, with the headstrong princess setting out to find her own destiny much like The Little Mermaid (also directed by Musker and Clements), but Moana is a great character, with a strong performance by Cravalho really bringing her to life. The Rock is The Rock, and how much you like his character will depend on how much you like The Rock. The songs are all fine but none really stick in your head. The best one is Shiny, sung by a giant evil gold obsessed crab voiced by Flight of the Conchord's Jermaine Clement. A fun film even if the formula is a bit tired. 7.5/10 Golem dir. Piotr Szulkin/1979/1h33m This Polish sci-fi film inspired by the Jewish folk story stars Marek Walczewski as Pernat, a man being interrogated by the police for murder, but he has no memory of that, or anything else. The film is made up of a series of absurd, Kafkaesque encounters between himself and other people, mostly his neighbours in the apartment building where he thinks he lives. The whole film is bathed in a sickly green light that speaks of a dying, dystopic world that's a mix between the decay of Tarkovsky and the oppression of Orwell. The confined nature of the film, along with the nauseating lighting bought to mind Caro and Jeunet's Delicatessen. Walczewski is a passive lead, understandably so seeing as he has no idea what's going on, reminding me a lot of Anthony Perkins in Orson Welles's The Trial, which begins in much the same way as this film. This is a hard to parse film that I don't fully grasp beyond the big picture of identity and self-discovery and free will, but there is more, alluded to in enigmatic scenes where scientists are being interviewed about Pernat's progress in the outside world, a reject in their genetic experimentation that has taken on a life of its own. A fascinating film with incredible atmosphere. 8/10 Sting dir. Kiah Roache-Turner/2024/1h32m Alyla Brown (who was excellent as the young Furiosa in the most recent Mad Max film) stars as moody 12 year old Charlotte, living with her mother, step-father and baby brother in a New York apartment building. When she finds a cool looking spider – which crash landed from outer space – she decides to keep it. Unfortunately it gets very big very fast and everyone in the building is at risk. This is a generic creature-feature that at times feels like a throwback to 50s giant insect films, but at times tries to reach for something more, and it doesn't always fail. I like the attempt at more character development here than you would usually get in films like this, with the relationship between Charlotte and her step-father Ethan (Ryan Corr) coming across as quite real and natural. Being an arachnophobe this film did creep me out at times, although the bigger and more alien the spider became the less scary it was. When it was still rather small and scurrying around in cupboards and suchlike it felt much more threatening. Not a bad film but I'll probably forget about it sooner rather than later. 5/10 Sunnyside dir. Charlie Chaplin/1919/33m This Chaplin short sees him as both a farmhand and a hotel bellboy who is in love with the local beauty played by his regular co-star Edna Purviance in what is a very typical film of his for this time. He's not really playing The tr*mp here, so he's a little less anarchic, though there are still plenty of pratfalls and slap-fights. What really impressed me here were some of the technical touches, especially the times he fades from one shot to the next with them matching perfectly, it's very well done for the time. This is the point in his career where it feels like he's being restrained by the limits of the shorter runtimes, with it being another couple of years before he releases his first true masterpiece The Kid. He's mastered the short comedy and needs a bigger challenge in his life. That's not to say he is slacking here as he is still performing at a higher level than anyone else at the time and this film is still full of plenty of laughs, but it's still a case of what next? 6/10 @djw180 time for the Kurosawa Shakespeare trilogy next? would love to hear your opinion on them.- 2
