Bad Movies / Re: have I bought a bad movie ...
Last post by chainsaw midget - Today at 05:58:49 PMI did some searching and found... well, I didn't find the movie, but I did find some info.
There was an entire wave of UK-African "immigrant films" in the 2000s between about 2002 and 2012, Nigerian films shot in London, Ghanaian dramas etc. Lot of them privatley financed or actually financed by churches. They were often given professional looking DVD released, but mostly sold out of places like markets, churches, hair salons, cultural shops, etc. There was never an "official" release or airing for most of them and they often used music without licensing.

Last post by lester1/2jr - Today at 04:54:27 PMYears ago, I remember Rev Powell tried to get "Help, Help, the Globolinks"on IMDB and he said it was basically impossible. Maybe the company that made your DVD isn't around anymore and no one has picked up the rights.

Also...
There's a bunch of AI film versions of The Book of Enoch on youtube. I watched this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPi001J8TBc I have tried to read Enoch in the past and my mind wondered, so this was good. It seems very repetitive though. I'm not sure if the text is like that or if it was a creative decision of some sort on the part of the "film makers". The general point seems to be that you should be good rather than bad, as a person. Also, there's a concept of superior beings interbreeding with humanity that is sort of mysterious. I'm not really sure what that applies too. Maybe an Adam eating the apple from the tree of human knowledge kind of thing.
Between that and the very Jesus like "Son of Man" character it's easy to see how it has caught people's imagination, though.

edit: needless to say, the Book of Revelation one is even crazier

The second part of Takahide Hori's trilogy that began in 2017 with the absolutely brilliant Junk Head. It is impossible to summarise the plot, but it involves mutants, SM cultists, cyborgs, robots and mecha in several time loops, set some centuries before Junk Head in the same universe;
The budget apparently was twice that of Junk Head and it shows. There are more special effects and the whole thing looks less homegrown than Junk Head. Also, it has actual dialogue and voice acting. It doesn't have the raw passion of Junk Head but makes up for it by more sophisticated storytelling. Most of the tropes in the movie you have seen before (at least if you watch the same kind of stuff as I do) but Takahide Hori blends it into a wonderful cocktail.
Reverend, if you haven't already, you should seek this out.
I haven't seen it but my colleague reviewed it. I should check it out. Did you see it at some kind of festival or did some crazy person actually program it at a cinema there?
