My Last thread in a while, I promise to re-lurk on the thread bringin' stakes.

Edward Woodward as NOT the Equaliser. It's not Britt Ekland's bum. Christopher Lee doesn't get to twiddle on about the apples. And the music is absolutely eerie. The scariest film you can see without being scared. Originally released as a double bill (even though them were dead essentially by then, but NOW they're brining them back) with Don't Look Now - how scary? Oh, how scary?

Sir Walter Raleigh goes to the block :: Woodward seethes, 1st degree, 2nd degree, 3rd degree, charred & heaven bound.

Both The Wicker Man and (especially) Don't Look Now are fine fine indeed.

Both being poked in the eye with sharp stick and (especially) having sex with a hot funfur alien are fine indeed, except the stick thing.

I'll come clean; mark s. is the ILXer I have a secret crush on. He's dreamy!

Best Musical, Best Horror movie, best everything.

Apart from maybe Yellow Submarine.

Mark, do you know what the Persian Eye Cups are?

"The Persian Eye Cups, for example—they were particularly unpleasant, quite turned my stomach when I read about them, as I recall—they would be worse. The Persian Eye Cups, yes . . . Person, or persons unknown, but presumably Persian, might whip out a pair without warning and fit them on snug. They’d prise back my eyelids and bed the cups right down against the nice curve of my eye and then they’d buckle all the necessary straps—I imagine they’d use quite a few straps, to stop me clawing. I would try to claw. But then I’m quite sure that they’d have their way with me, irrigate each cup with the correct corrosive dose and watch it bite. I would naturally scream and jabber while my eyeballs both subsided into froth and the acid gobbled up my optic nerve. Tip back my head and my frontal lobes would swash about like hot, grey margarine. I’d be totally fucked. Eventually, all I remember would gargle clear out of my ears in two repellent streams and that would be that. Which would be worse—of course it would."

Personally, I'd rather staple my scrotum to my inner thigh and then perform all manner of Scottish dances until my socks congeal than...

That Anthony Minghella is a talented fellow.
