I got Young Frankenstein for Christmas - one of my favourite comedies of all time.

Watched it last night and it is sheer genius. Some of Mel Brooks' later stuff isn't that good, but this is him at his best. I think most people prefer Blazing Saddles, but I think Young Frankenstein beats it hands down. Marty Feldman helps of course.....

The Wrestler didn't live up to the hype for me. Ok, but nothing special.

as mentioned on the last couple of pages, Religulous is indeed a decent watch. the editing reminded me a bit of the old 90s show, Dream On. which is worth a bonus point. <_<

and finally, after Film4 packed in on Saturday night after just over an hour, i managed to finish watching Assault on Precinct 13 late last night. i shouldn't have bothered. :P

I see "Airplane" is on Channel 4 and "Young Frankenstein" is on BBC4 after the bells on Hogmanay (aka New Years Eve <_< ) .

Two of the funniest films ever made!

See this from yesterday

Basically, Gene Wilder plays a doctor who is also the original Victor Frankenstein's grandson. He has distanced himself from his infamous ancestor (even pronouncing his name Fronken-steeen) believing him to be a lunatic who did not understand science. When his great-grandfather's will is read, he travels to Transylvania to discover what he thought were just nonsensical lunatic ravings could actually work and sets out to recreate what his grandfather did.

But it's much sillier than that of course!

It's pure genius.

It sure is pure genius. Marty Feldman gives one of the all time best comedy performances.

I do prefer Blazing Saddles though.

Me and my mate from work saw the New Year in with a glass of wine and a DVD of Over Her Dead Body, with Eva Longoria playing a dead fiancee trying to put a psychic off getting with her husband-to-be. Even though I been all anti-romance lately, this was a canny little film.

      2027 Headliners

      By Suprefan · Posted

      Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha

      No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.

      2027 Headliners

      By Suprefan · Posted

      Keep in mind those crowds were full of teenagers. Glasto aint full of teenagers. Theres no way she could demand headline and get it because they got other acts to give the slot to who deserve it with a bigger catalog. Reading/Leeds would headline her cause its still LN.  If the fest was struggling its Other headline. But a 3rd down Pyramid is likely the landing spot. Itll go down like the Camila Cabello performance pretty much.
