Withdrawal Symptoms

Right I haven't seen a film in about a week and a half now and I am starting to get the shakes and the end may not be in sight as the whole cinema room construction is going a lot slower than planned, mostly due to my shitty painting ability. The local cinema hasn't been getting any of the films that I want to see this month either so this isn't helping, bloody distribution company politics stopping them getting what I want pisses me off, but that's a rant for another time.

Answer to lasts weeks five pound question was "Revenge Of the Nerds", unfortunately nobody won, however I did find out that a remake is being made this year. Don't get me started on remakes, there is about 500 coming out this year and half are based on classic films, there remaking Suspiria for fucks sake. If your going to do a remake recycle a good idea you fucked up last time, like Howard The Duck or something.

Anyway to fill in for the lack of reviews I thought I would give you Neon Magazines (R.I.P.) 100 films you should see before you die. As they said themselves some are classics, some are poor and some are down right awful but you haven't lived till you have seen them all. So in reverse order

All the ones in bold are the ones I have seen, I have some of the ones I am missing on my rental list or on my sky plus box waiting to be watched, however any one who can help getting a hold of the complete version of Deep Throat (I've only seen the more famous scenes ;-) ) or the real hard one to get a hold of SuperStar: The Karen Carpenter story let me know. The latter is banned everywhere due to not licensing the music, which has always been denied as the carpenter estate has never seen the funny side of the film, such as all the parts being played by ken and barbie style dolls. Hopefully by next week I will have seen something new and if your lucky I may post a few pics of my room.

EDIT 05/04/06

Naked and Dark Star now seen
