If you're thinking of watching a movie over the weekend, and looking for comedy, I recommend "The Wrong Box", from 1966, based on a Robert Lewis Stevenson story about a tontine, starring a young Michael Caine, John Mills, Ralph Richardson, and bevy of comic actors, including Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, and Peter Sellars as a dotty, disgraced doctor in a garret filled with cats:

Some great black comedy, especially from Wilfrid Lawson, as the ancient doddering butler.

I saw this on TV many years ago. And searched for a copy for many more years, to no avail; apparently, it never made it to videotape. Finally, it was put on DVD, and I located a copy. Now -- of course-- it's free on YouTube:

Give it a try!

I am currently interested in the YOUNG SHELDON series.

I also think that this series has evolved very well and is quite endearing and funny.
It's a spin-off, but in my opinion it's even better than the original. It's not all claptrap, but also has a more serious and emotional component.

I'm currently watching the fourth season of "Stranger Things".

The series has quite a lot to offer:
- 80s hairstyles
- 80s soundtrack
- comedy
- mystery
- horror
- teen love stories
- and now even hardcore action

I love old movies and shows. I remember watching this when I was a kid, It was animated by Ray Harryhausen who of course was a pioneer of stop-motion.

Just for giggles.

The subtitles are the icing on the moshi cake. 😄

I like, "putrified gentlemen."😂

"Madness will finish until a date of now!"

My new motto. 😄

Just for giggles.
The subtitles are the icing on the moshi cake. 😄

I must assume The Joker was the producer / director for this stuff? 🤪
I read fast, but I had no chance to follow the subtitles - maybe because few of them made sense??? 😬
Nothing I've ever imbibed or smoked has garbled my brain to a degree that the source of the subtitles must have been garbled.
The open question for me is: do the subtitles represent the original Japanese dialogue faithfully, or has the translation process for the subtitles changed, by comparison, what a hen deposits in her nest to what's on your plate when you have a helping of scrambled eggs??? 🤪🤪🤪

 

[Radaghast]

I'm guessing Google Translate are how the subtitles were obtained here.

In order to see what the actual dialogue is, you have to look at the original handed-over sum (courtesy of Google (re)Translate) 😆

Sky Arts have been running one hour programmes on various actors and directors with wiseacres like Derek Malcolm and they recently covered Don Siegel which prompted me to rewatch The Killers starring Lee Marvin, Clu Culager, Angie Dickinson and a rather wooden Ronald Reagan. Originally made for TV it wasn't broadcast as it was deemed too violent and was released in cinemas instead. The car racing scenes are weak and too long, but it crackles with energy when the two killers (Marvin, Gulager) are on screen. It subverts the original film noir being shot in harsh bright light and narrating the film from the pov of the two hitmen

The brilliance of the film is that as the clever plot unfolds you end up rooting for Marvin and Culager. The jazzy score is by some unknown called Jonny Williams - how did he turn out! Marvin has a great closing line.

Webb Telescope images being added.

It comes up for me at a miserly 144p, but can be raised to 720.

Started watching 'The Old Man' last week. Three episodes in, and am loving it!

I've been watching Shining Girls on Apple TV+. It's about murder and time travel...I think. It's confusing so far but I guess it's supposed to be because of how the book was written.

Watching another Ray Harryhausen short

Just started the second series of Line of Duty. The first series was excellent.

If it's as hot where you are as it is for me, and you can't think of anything to do this weekend more strenuous than sitting and watching movies, let me recommend this one:

It starts low-key, but builds.
