Gregory’s Girl is pure acting and writing perfection to me. Wouldn’t get away with some of the stuff in it now though.

Children of Men (2006) 9/10 - re-watched this film after about 10 years, and it really is still very very good. The politics in it has gotten closer, unfortunately. Global flu pandemic snuck in there as well. Anyway, great film, bleak with sprinkles of hope, amazing set piece scenes and visions of a dirty collapsing near-future.
Film really ruined for me as the standard of kid's football really poor. That Gordon John Sinclair (as he was then) was just a long streak of paralysed piss who couldn't save a single shot. As for Gregory's girl (star striker) - words fail me - she couldn't even control the ball with her tits!Gregory’s Girl is pure acting and writing perfection to me.

Remember watching that when it first came out, really enjoyed it and it was brilliantly made but fuck me it was grim. Feels like we're getting closer to that reality every year...Children of Men (2006) 9/10 - re-watched this film after about 10 years, and it really is still very very good.

Shit film really, terrifier 2 ain't much better, what's funny is, if you type in terrifier death scenes or something into YouTube, you get to see that mime guy stabbing a guy in the eye, chopping bits off people, beheading etc.. but the girl whose viscera he cuts out.. they block out her tits :)Terrifier

I rewatched The Omen (1976) then watched the extras. It is a decent film, full of great moments, rather than a great film. You've got Oscar winners/nominees in Gregory Peck and Lee Remick, allied with a big cast of largely UK actors.
The three who stand out are Billie Whitelaw as the unhinged satanic nanny, David Warner as the doomed photographer and dear old Patrick Troughton as the priest with wind issues!
Whitelaw is Uber creepy just utterly malevolent and never knows when she's down! Warner's decapitation is legendary and a source of many anecdotes from the genre legend! Troughton looks wild, feral with red rimmed eyes, unshaved and compelling when trying to convince Peck his boy's satan on earth.
Well for sticking a spire and skewering the Second Doctor I say fuck you satan, down with that sort of thing!
Anyway Richard Donner the director originally wanted all events to be coincidence and open to interpretation as to whether they were the work of diabolical forces. The studio overruled him and said it should clearly be the work of Damien.
A great anecdote is when casting Damien, Donner would say to the kids to attack him, really go for it, as in the scene taking Damien to church.
Anyway young Harvey Stephens received this direction and proceeded to punch Donner in the nuts and wouldn't stop! Donner said pick the kid up, dye his hair, that is Damien!! Pmsl!!!!!!! Stephens went on to have a career in the City as a broker, whenever something inexplicable happened the other twats in the office would hum the Omen music!
The music is disturbing and shows typical Jerry Goldsmith invention, won his only Oscar for it.
Think Omens II and III had their moments and had very charasmatic Damiens but the original is a bit special.
I suspect if il diabolus infernum is walking the earth, he's probably a rag!
