Last post by Alex - June 05, 2026, 06:20:47 PMAlas I no longer have any of them or my Halls of Hammer magazines. I lost them all when my mum and dad divorced and he threw them all out. I'll say a bit more another time about my views on V (its just after midnight here and I'm in the middle of a shift at work right now).

Press Releases and Film News / Re: RIP Anthony Stewart Head
Last post by claws - June 05, 2026, 01:16:58 PMNot familiar, even though I've seen three movies he was in. Never watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer (it was broadcast on German TV).
Apparently he did a version of "Sweet Transvestite" from the "Rocky Horror (Picture) Show" released as a single. That's cool.
RIP

Last post by M.10rda - June 05, 2026, 01:16:09 PMTHE SPY IN BLACK (1939):
Another attempt at getting on the Powell/Pressburger train - another ho hum result. (PEEPING TOM remains the only Powell flick I can altogether endorse.) It does provide a rare opportunity to see Conrad Veidt in a top-billed lead role in a post-silent/talkie - and often in English, even. He still looks good and gives a reasonably nuanced performance (as the bad guy), though this isn't nearly on-par w/ his best silent work.
In a similar plot to EYE OF THE NEEDLE, Veidt is a German officer who infiltrates a foggy English port-town in order to sabotage the Royal Navy. I should mention that SPY IN BLACK is set during WWI, not WWII - but the Brits were in WWII sometime in '39, so SPY IN BLACK still seems tonally inappropriate to me, somehow. At first Veidt is aided by two other lead characters - who appear at first to be Germans or English traitors working for Germany. SPOILER: They aren't - the're just setting up a trap to catch Veidt. This doesn't really make much sense and still puts the Royal Navy (and English civvies) in danger. It also makes the co-leads pervasively unsympathetic. Veidt's character does get some sympathetic shading - but he's a terrorist Gerry!!!
3/5 for Veidt and professional filmmaking. Very confused film, though,
