The best alternative to watching eurovision.

Read the book 'Heart of Darkness' recently, ivory traders going down the Congo River. Great read, and when you read it with the atmosphere of this film in mind even better. Journeying down a river, the deeper the wilder it gets and the more unnatural and mad. The book started by talking of the Romans venturing down the Thames and encountering just that with the alien celtic tribes people. Winding rivers and winding minds. That is my dream, that is my nightmare.

Felt like a cross of Ghibli, Ralph Bakshi and Dune. Thought it was great.

The most Rock'n'roll piece of fiction.

What can I say? I love my food.

The one true religion is polygamy.

Everything in this film was the worst thing that could have possibly happened.

It's a bloody masterpiece.

I think about this film all the time. Liverpool is run by the triad, big Chinatown, the pub I drink In pays money to it, the dragon blesses it on Chinese New Year. I shop at the Chinese Supermarket, its cheap and its nearby, and it goes back and back, like a labyrinth of bright colours and suited men on computers in dimly lit rooms. I get my bamboo steamers and shit there, it feels like I could fall into the kingdom of Lo Pan at any moment.

Not the first one, still crazy and random and a cracking time.

This got slated on release, still does. I love it.

No I don't think so.

Another John Carpenter classic. Karen Allen is beautiful, the film is beautiful.

Avada Kedavra

Nick cage, I love you, but you have ruined T.REX for me you brute.

He must leg it through blood and sweat, under the all seeing eye of the sun, through malevolent mammals, away from a regiment of terminator tribesmen. He must leg it naked, and you must watch.

He karate chopped a dwarf, a racist dwarf.

Needed to watch something from my childhood, reminds me of my Grandparents house. Got the urge to watch The Black Cauldon now too, loved that film.

Recently returned from Romania, I was lost in translation. Sat on the ramshackle balcony of the Khrushchovka slum AirBnB, 40 degree heat, bucket hat, consuming cans of Peroni. Brasov, Sinaia, Bucharest. Buna Ziua ... Este Fierbinte. Stray Dogs. Vampires. Night trains. Evil megalomania. Being lonely in a city full of people is possible when Lost in Translation. When your forced to observe instead of take part. It's interesting and recommended, though I did kiss the ground upon landing back in Manchester.

Most reliable film ever made

I was told that because I liked Scorcese's After Hours, that I would like this. Twas great, a neon odyssey through this sordid world we live in, and a thoroughly depressing ending which is always a Good Time.

Someday I swear, we're gonna go to a place where we can do whatever we want to, where we can pet the crocodiles.
