The opening of Overlord was quite good. The rest was alright but I was really impressed with the first 15-20 minutes of that film. Manhattan Baby is a bore. I love Fulci and watch every film of his I can get my hands on, I had really high hopes for that one and it was just a total snoozefest. So many classic Fulci eye close ups though.

I agree completely @Inksb. I had never seen Manhattan Baby. It was not what I was expecting. But that score...

[deafmetal]

Manhattan Baby is a clunker. It's probably my least favorite Fulci film. I agree with Bez though, the score is magic to my ears. I prefer the standalone listen though. Some of the soundtrack mixing in his films is a bit harsh.

Checking this out:



edit: closing track on the first episode end credits is killer.

Just finished watching Carlo Lizzani's 1968 Banditi a Milano a.k.a. The Violent Four.
Score by Riz Ortolani.
This was a rather excellent poliziottesco.

This has got to be one of the most underrated gems of 80s genre films.

Hatter, what is this? I feel like I know it, but nothing is coming to me. Side note, does anyone remember the Kyle Mac action flick (90s maaayyybee early aughts) where he is some kind of badass lothario? It may have even been a televisual event. Or Canadian. Or both.

[Hatter313]

That, sir, is The Hidden.

That, sir, is The Hidden.

Oh, Jesus. Sideways and on my telephone. Pfft. What a maroon.

Hahahaha I was very surprised! although yeah it uploaded sideways for some reason.

Yeah, I own the damn movie. And the wildly inferior, but still sort of enjoyable, sequel. Which Nouri returns for by the bye. The real issue is that my phone won't allow me to expand or click on uploaded photos on STBC since The Change. That's not a big deal to me, but I do have to live with looking like a hayseed. Even more than usual.

the hidden is loads of fun!!!!!

I can't click on or expand uploaded photos on PC either.

Finished watching Ettore Scola's 1969 Il commissario Pepe
Score by Armando Trovajoli

What a movie. Very hard to explain :-) At first it appears to be a very slow movie. But then there are some insane scenes. As a whole I loved it.

[texasvinyl]

Bez how did you watch it?

[Bezulsqy]

Bez how did you watch it?

Dvd rip. Send me a pm and i’ll sort you out tomorrow

[texasvinyl]

There are some incredible women in this movie, I mean damn. Rosemary Dexter, wow.

[texasvinyl]

[inksb]

Yep. Made it like 45 minutes into it and could not continue. Really bad movie lol

But surely you still have to suffer all the usual 'added digital sock puppet' garbage in the 4k version?

And the amazing shrinking Jabba? (Who is inexplicably the same size as Han in this one, and goes on to triple in size when we meet him next?)

[Hatter313]

wait, where is there a 4k release of this? have i somehow missed this entirely or are you just watching the current blu on a 4k screen?
