1 800 J JAMES posted:The Chris Morris compilation CD? It's alright but its hardly the best sketches and you lose the atmosphere without the uncannily perfect music selection. Best to listen to full episodes on youtube. My Wrongs and the Jam DVDs would be better buys. Really. Guess I know what I'm buying. I got On The Hour 1 + 2 on iTunes.

The Vistor is hyped up as this zaaaany nonsense film, but it's really just an Italian movie from the 70s. It's still quite good, but I was kind-of let down.

My friend came up with the best description of the Visitor. He called it "The Omen if it was based around scientology".

Slice Of Life: I randomly discovered an old Lucasarts game The Dig on Steam. I have a very vivid memory from my youth of a Lucasarts-heavy demo disc (vivid, I think, because it had TIE Fighter on it), of which The Dig was mentioned heavily as an upcoming, exciting game. This was at a time in my life when I couldn't just ask my parents for a new computer game every five seconds, so I never bought it. Part of me wants to pay the five bucks for it, but part of me thinks that I'll get annoyed with the circa-1995 mechanics and designs. As silly as it is, the wonderment I had about the game as a kid is inexplicably precious to me.

Horror that takes place in locales staffed and observed by upper middle class people in smart clothes. Clinical detachment, philosophical introspection externalized as New Age mad science.

I think Chris Morris was the last comedian I discovered that made me think he was one of the funniest people on Earth. He really is, and far too quick witted. If you listen to his old radio-DJ sets and the interviews where he gets up the noses of Brett Easton Ellis, Piers Morgan etc its hard to say what's scripted and what's off the cuff but its all gold. Given current news its probably time for a rewatch of *Paedogeddon* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcU7FaEEzNU

I've become intrigued by this idea and I'm trying to think of the last good movie we've had like it. I kinda feel like Splice tried for it but went too contemporary-quirky instead of contemporary-mundane and also it wasn't a very good movie.

On a different topic, I think Locke, Mr. Death and the entirety of Breaking Bad would make a pretty good (if not actually possible to sit through) triplle feature.

Getting back to Battle of Algiers just because I can't get it out of my head: would it be fair to call it the best political film of all time? Let's say "excluding documentaries" just to keep it fair.

Let's say "excluding documentaries" just to keep it fair. The first response to pop into mind is "Z" by Costa Gavras. The second is: what's a political film? I don't ask to be difficult but because I'm not really sure myself.
