TV/Movies Megathread

And no lesbian tinge?

Yes, pretty good movie.

Makes a fine werewolf double bill with Howling. The sequel, however, Howlings is for so good it's bad aficionados. A reference in the latter genre.  Not to mention Christopher Lee and Sybil Danning. 

Oh the Howling is a good idea, I'll check it out, I know I've watched it but can't recall anything.

Also I wonder if 'Wolfen' (sp?) has aged well, I recall it was quite good and had a decent Brit actor in it whose name eludes me; wait was it, nope it's gone again, but was in my mind momentarily befere I recalled Anthony Newly's for some odd reason.

What made it unwatchable for you?

Characters and events so ridiculous that I had no desire to know more about them.

The events at the beginning of the movie are based on events that did occur (and carried out by the Weatherman Underground) but it is a bit disorienting because the movie replaces the war in Vietnam with opposition to the current US government.

Since Brigitte Bardot just died and we got the new the Odissey trailer, found it fitting to revisit Le Mepris.

I feel I'd rather watch Lang's version

So you don't like her buttocks.
Nothing more to say.

IIRC, isn't the story (might be urban legend) that half the budget of the film had gone to her and the producers wanted their money's worth so they strongarmed Godard to have her show some skin and he shot that scene? The camera is pretty damn lecherous indeed, even mockingly so.

I don't know if the extras on the blu-ray confirm it, but French wiki quotes Raoul Coutard, director of photography stating that the US producer Joseph E. Levine demanding extra nude scenes.

« Non, non, ça ne va pas, je veux voir le cul de Bardot ». »

I have just learned it is going to be 2-3 years before Pluribus Season 2. That is ridiculous, I would not have bothered watching season 1 knowing this. What the hell.
