The beginning of this absurdist-realism feature presents itself as a whimsical romantic comedy, but the script reveals darker purposes when the 2010 Thai military crackdown that killed almost 200 people becomes a plot point. 3.5/5.

I have been wondering about that one

Quote from: RCMerchant on March 03, 2026, 01:10:17 PM^ I hate to tell you this, but LONDON AFTER MIDINGHT's last known surving print was destroyed in a nitrate fire at MGM in 1965. No known print has seen the light of day since. It has NEVER- even before 1965- been available in 8mm and most certainly not VHS or BETA. Perhaps you are thinking of another "London" or Chaney film. but I can state on my mother's grave it was not LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT. It hasn't even been publicly shown since 1927! Being silent films went out of favor a few years after it's release.

From Chainsaw's original post: "I did NOT watch the actual movie. I watched the Turner Classic Movies restoration, which uses the original script and a LOT of movie stills to retell the picture. It's honestly more of a slideshow than a real movie."

Reminds me of all the early silent films in South Africa which were destroyed through complete ignorance and stupidity 🙄😳

I paid a visit to the film archives this morning.

Everyone is still hurting over the loss our legendary colleague, friend, mentor and in my case, older sister Brenda.

I was informed that plans are in the works to make a memorial garden in her name with a rose garden and bench.

There is a huge lawn there with a lot of trees which would be perfect.

Her name, memory and positive influence will remain.

Love you, Sister Brenda: I miss you

❤️❤️🌹🌹😢😥😢😭😭😭😭
