"Charade" one may note, gets an 8 on imdb
Quite a lot of the script was recycled into "The Truth about Charles" without so much of the ultraviolence, which hadn't yet been invented in 1963.
James Coburn, Walter Matthau, Cary Grant, Ms Hepburn, George Kennedy, they don't make 'em like that any more.
It was an unrestored transfer in 4:3, pretty poor quality, but better than nothing.
Ah. It transpires it's out of copyright.Last edited by zeitghost; 25 August 2017, 09:27.Comment

Tonight's feature was Limitless, which is predicated on the same basic premise as Lucy whereby our protagonist is enabled to use the supposedly inaccessible 90% of their brain (which is utter neurobollocks, but anyway).
Unlike Lucy, this one avoids ridiculous garbage to do with telekinesis and what have you, instead going for more sensible consequences like being able to make a killing on the financial markets in short order, though regrettably various other consequences related to the illicit nature of the requisite drug led to a fair amount of violence ensuing. I thought it was pretty darn good; better than I expected it would be, in fact
And then, as I had most of a beer to finish off, I padded the evening out with an episode of Suits, which led me to the conclusion that I only watch it to remind myself of why I don't watch it very often
Goodnight allComment

I much preferred "Lucy" ridiculous though some of it was.
"Limitless" would appear to have transferred to the small screen more recently.

It was "She who must not be named", with Morgan Freeman And Scarlet Johanson.

Talk about Deus ex machina.
With bells & whistles on.
It should finish by 11:30, whereupon the 2nd load will start.
The endless joy of my life is quite overwhelming.
And I've got that big, feck off, hole to drill for the cooker hood this afternoon.
Since this bit of ZeityTowers is 1930s jerrybuilt, it's only got a single thickness of brick so should be much easier than the two leaves of diamond hard engineering brick that got drilled through in ZeityParetntsTowers.
And it's vaguely greyly wanly sunny out there this morning.Last edited by zeitghost; 25 August 2017, 07:41.Comment
