Quote from: M.10rda on June 21, 2026, 05:56:03 PMMy theatre company supported the development of ARCHDUKE, a play by Rajiv Joseph, who has written a few pretty successful plays and one or two movies. ARCHDUKE is about the assassination of AFF, and at least in the play, the Black Hand are a bunch of inept, bumbling patsies. Pretty funny to think of them as inspiring Italian thrillers many decades later!

I suppose the suggestion was that the original Black Hand had manipulated the Great Powers into starting WW I and that they were now trying to bring about WW III. But again, everything remains very vague.

Not really following it. Things are pretty muted over here. There have been times when the national team was seriously hyped up, only to disappoint. With two draws so far (against Egypt and Iran), things aren't looking too good this time around as well.

Tonight's Stinker
The Cycle Savages(1969)
https://youtu.be/dRX4E7iYFMU?si=xMm6y-3kosEPys8y

A group of bikers rides up to a to a drive by burger stand & order donuts & beer & make mayhem, while a clean cut guy sit & draws pictures of them.... Later at a bar, Bruce Dern, the gangs short fused leader, confronts the artist about what he's drawing..... The artist walks out, but the bartender tells Dern he has pictures of the whole gang... So the bikers meet the artist at his apartment, beat him up, take his sketches, then get the prostitute upstairs to look after him while they search his apartment....
They find the sketches, & steal a Marine sword while they're at it..... When the artist finds out, he goes to get it back, & makes quick work of the two bikers there.... The rest of the bikers are out getting a stolen bike back, then go looking for girls.... They find one, & for the next thirty minutes, the film cuts back & fourth between the artist in bed with the prostitute while the bikers get rough with the girl they found....
But Dern's constantly angry character is still fuming about the artist & how to wreck his hands....
There's also supposed to be a subplot about the bikers working for human traffickers the never gets fleshed out, & this sex ed book the artist is illustrating, & numerous other things that keep getting mentioned, but not explained....

None of this is as exciting as I described, as it mostly borrows from every biker film before it, while avoiding anything resembling a plot.....

Drifterr, if you are in fact real and not a bot, every RPG I've ever played has pretty much proceeded that way.  :teddyr:  The FALLOUTs are infamous for their endless distractions from the central plot.

BluRays never really took off here as the discs were too expensive (about ZAR400 each, sometimes more) and the players even more so (about ZAR5000 for a basic unit).

DVDs were very popular here. Sad that all of the physical media stores like Musica and Look and Listen closed down 😔
