Hi, Vern. I just want to tell you something irrelevant:

I don’t speak english very well so I decided to learn it by reading your fucking reviews. You rock! You fucking rock!

I see Geocities is being switched off tonight. They can’t take away the memories.

Just thought I’d throw my support behind a suggestions page. It sounds like a fair bit of work having to do it from scratch and possibly Vern would soon discover he hates the idea of readers bugging him to review certain films, but I think it’d be a nice addition.

(i’m even tempted to suggest a forum but methinks that’s going too far)

Mondowray, that is a feature I’d like to implement but there is no current WordPress plugin that would do it effectively. It’s easy enough to create a “Recommendations” post or page, but I can see it becoming a ginormous scroll. What I’d like to do is create a place where in addition to commenting you could type in the requested movie’s name, year or other info to make sure the right version was being looked at. Then other people could vote for each recommendation like current posts can be voted on and the list of films could be sorted, items marked off when reviewed and any other features people think might be appropriate. I’d have to write this plug-in from scratch and still have posts to migrate and other things to finish before I could get to it. If anyone’s interested let Vern know what you would want in a suggestion page.

Vern, I was curious if you wanted to finish going through Cronenbergs work. He really has not made a bad one in his whole career I don’t think. M.BUTTERFLY is finally coming out in Region 1,so it’s a good time to do it. Now if we could get a dvd of SHIVERS I’d be happy. My copys from Greece and my players not fond of it.

Vern, can we have a section where we can demand, um I mean politely request films we’d like to see you review.

I’d really like to see a review of the Clint Eastwood film Firefox, which I watched recently and found it to be unequal parts cold war dram/Air Wolf/Star Wars.

Also, how do I get a picture in my posts, I’m rather jelous of Andy’s.

You’re killin’ it lately, Vern. I’m loving the review onslaught. The blog seems to have freed you up a bit.

I’m hoping the talkbacks here stay good natured, which looks like it is going to be the case, as some of the stuff that goes on at aintitcool (and to be fair much of the net) just leaves me cold, where often there is little celebration of film, but an upleasent bitterness. I wan’t to point out I’m specifically refferring to the talkbacks not the contributers to the site.

Vern can review films like Star Trek, and we in turn can chat about them without incurring the wrath of the Trekkies because we got some tiny technical detail wrong.

As part of your Trenchard-Smith retrospective Vern how about a favourite of mine, Turkey Shoot AKA BLOOD CAMP THATCHER AKA ESCAPE 2000.
