Just in case it was clear, I am totally kidding—although it can be frustrating not having many people to talk to about the films I love, I accept that there are many different tastes and preferences and don't necessarily see one as being better than another. When it comes to other artforms, like music, for instance, I have far more mainstream tastes. It doesn't make me a better or worse person, or less or more intelligent; it's just what I prefer.

By the way, my girlfriend, who is even more of a film snob than me, said that she thinks Ninotchka is ridiculous (I haven't seen it). It might have something to do with Greta Garbo's atrocious Russian accent. Laughing

hah, maybe my working class background shows out sometimes (no Tannin, don't fall of the chair) cos I get grumpy at snobbery and elitism Wink

What you said re music I agree with, it's a matter of taste.

I can listen to a variety of stuff, depending on my mood at the time. I've performed classical piano on stage but it isn't something I choose to listen to for entertainment or relaxation.

It's a sentimental screwball comedy.

I watched Quarantine 2, and Death Tunnel today with Laura, seemed that Death Tunnel stole a lot of the plot from House on Haunted Hill, added a true story angle and was bitterly disappointing.

Quarantine 2 was good though.

On Channel 31 last night:

The Adventures of Barry MacKenzie

A scene towards the end:

Dudley Moore as a psychiatrist asking Barry MacKenzie what his relationship with his mother was like? Bazza replies: "well, she's me mum" - cracked me up.


Put the (modern) Australian Film industry forward. Not a great film but an important film in Australian Film history.

Did you notice the hippy chick singing, was Julie Covington of 'don't cry for me Argentina' fame?

Remembered the actor/singer & the name but didn't realise where it was from. Cheers.

Gone Girl. Unfortunately it has the same ending as the book, but otherwise pretty well done.

I've been watching some Whit Stillman films lately. Similarities to Wes Anderson and Woody Allen if you're into that kind of stuff:

Oh, and I also saw Gone with the Wind at the Astor last weekend, but I can't say I loved it. I'm not quite sure what it is, but there's just something kind of phony about it. It certainly hasn't aged well in the way that some of the great American and European films of the '20s and '30s have.

The Outlaw (1943)

Basically Billy the Kid, Pat Garrett & Doc Holiday

Produced & Directed by Howard Hughes & co directed by Howard Hawks.

The voluptuous Jane Russell's first film. on ABC the other night - watched it tonight. Marvellous

Check out the trailer: they don't make trailers like they used to.
