Anyone else see this on BBC4 last night? Fascinating.  |

Looks a bit like a Jewish 'Brokeback Mountain'?

I enjoyed Brokeback Mountain. Mr. E. had to shut his eyes a few times though.

Brokeback Mountain would have been a better film if it had been cut by at least a quarter.
Fillums never used to be so long..but I'm going back to the days when we used to get two, with ice cream in the interval.

Queue for the three and sixes, first the 'B' film, then an interval (buy the ice creams), then coming attractions, then Look At Life or Pathe News (depending on which cinema you were in), then the main film. Two performances a day. And you could smoke in the cinema (how many times did I light the wrong end of the cigarette I wonder?) |

...and you could go in half way through then stay to watch the beginning!

Most films are too long these days.
I used to love going to the Electric on Portobello Road. Afternoons were really cheap, and you got two good (and connected) films a programme - the connections were either around an actor, a director, a type, or a setting (The Third Man and Bad Timing for eg - both set in Vienna.
The Scala in King's Cross was good as well: coffee to drink while you were watching and sometimes all nighters - a bloke on The Fall site said he once missed a connection and had to spend the night on King's Cross station, which was really scary and cold and generally unpleasant. A couple of days later he discovered that The Scala had had an all nighter of David Lynch films that night. God, I bet he was annoyed.
