Good Movies / Re: London After Midnight
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 06:57:32 AMSame here.
The "remarkable" thing about LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT is that, as recently as the the mid-to-late 80s, I insist this film was not "lost". Okay, my insistence is a bit extravagant, but. My Dad used to order free catalogs for movies on 8mm (yes) and VHS/BETA... back in the day when you could purchase them directly from a wholesaler for some fee. There were hundreds of 8mm prints you could buy, probably some 16mm too. We never ordered any - he just knew I liked reading about old movies and these catalogs had synopsis of all the films and cast info, running times, etc.
LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT used to show up in these catalogs!
I recall no hyperbole in the description to the effect of "This is the last known surviving copy of this film!" or "This is a short recreation using stills or anything." They were selling complete movies. No one seemed to care about LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT specifically - except me, 'cause I thought the synopsis sounded awesome, and probably the promo image of Chaney. But I didn't ever order a copy of it - or of anything else. (I remember one catalog made a HUGE deal out of the silent film SPARROWS... which has survived and I've seen it.)
Anyway... on occasion I've fallen down the internet rabbit hole on LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT. One thing it seems no one has tried to do is search "the archives" of old movie wholesalers....... though I imagine this is because those places all went out of business 35+ years ago around the advent of Blockbuster and maybe literally threw out or destroyed all their stock.
But FWIW, LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT was A Thing that still existed in our lifetimes.......

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by indianasmith - February 19, 2026, 07:56:51 PMBORDERLINE (2025) - A lovable psycho named Paul is madly in love with a celebrity named Sophia, and is utterly convinced that they're getting married. But then he gets locked up for stabbing her bodyguard and breaking into her house, and her life returns to normal - until he escapes with the aid of a cute female psychopath who is even crazier than him. A very fun dark comedy that had me laughing out loud in multiple places. 4.5/5

Last post by indianasmith - February 19, 2026, 07:53:13 PMFrom my FB:
The Andrew, formerly known as Prince, has been arrested for crimes related to his association with Jeffrey Epstein.
THE. KING'S. OWN. BROTHER.
I am ready for this level of accountability here in the USA.
I don't care who they are. I don't care what party they are.
I don't care what office they hold or once held.
ARREST. THEM. ALL.
Let due process play out. Let them have their day in court.
But once they have been found guilty by a jury of their peers -
Life in prison at a minimum for the rapists.
The needle for the killers.
Let it be.
