Cockney Mackem

Kiss Me Deadly did it first I believe

Godfrey Ho's cut and paste is astounding. I'm slightly disappointed that they didn't feature, if I remember correctly, Ninja Dragon in which Richard Harrison's footage was spread thinner than the Thin Man after he'd been doing especially well at Weight Watchers. At one point the bad guys need to send a message that they want to meet Ninja Master Gordon at a location of their choice, and the footage GH uses is to have a ninja burst into Gordon's house flipping and whirling a sword at him. In mid air the hard-pressed dubbing actor has to shout "Ninja Master Gordon, the villain of this movie wants to meet you on Friday at 2pm at the following location!" at the desperate speed they use for disclaimers at the end of radio commercials. Then Ninja Master Gordon kills him. Imagine having so many ninjas, you can afford to send them on a suicide mission to arrange a meeting instead of popping a card through the letter box?

(joke for our older, British users) Is it Benny?

You might struggle to get Paul (all hail Paul!) to increase his precision when it comes to names...

Am I the only one who doesn't find vampires all that sexy in the first place?

If Lea Thompson and Howard Deutch got together when they were making Howard the Duck, then their daughter could be the first HDTGM baby!

As well as the visual weirdness in this film from the special effects, I found it weird that Vince Vaughn and Vincent D'Onofrio looked quite alike.

Flash Gordon would be tremendous as a HDTGM podcast. Do films still do tie in pinball machines, or is it only older movies that have them? Also, is there an interest among collectors in pinball machines that have actually appeared in the movies? Like for example Maximum Overdrive?

I am super late to this thread and no doubt it's been mentioned already, but Paul (all hail Paul!) said they'd done a movie from every year apart from 1985. But Lifeforce was released in 1985

M Night Shyamalan's new film The Visit has inexplicably got good reviews on its release and is apparently a return to form for M Night (although given he's made two good films, two iffy ones and the rest were terrible I'm not sure what "form" means here). It's less of a surprise it's doing good business as so many piss weak horror movies make money these days. But seriously, this film sucks and is full to brimming with WTF moments. It's a perfect storm of serious flaws, gargantuan plot holes, unhinged madness and things for June to explore in more detail. Make it happen, HDGTM!

1. Hill 2. Street 3. Blues

How about Best June Impersonation, where June was unavailable for scheduling the reasons and someone else had to be the one to look for the unexpected angle or question what the central point of the film was?

I don't get the reactions to the show. It was a rowdy show, I didn't have a problem with anyone. I didn't think it was mocking the gay aspect of the film either, more how coy it was about the gay aspect of one of the gayest bands ever

Also, Tony Scott was a Mackem. As is his brother. Sort of.

I would totally read that

Surely Tatiana should be given about ten different people's posts to read, each in a different style?

Could I please have Chelsea Peretti reading mine, in whatever perfunctory attempt at a Cockney accent she sees fit? Or Rhea Butcher, in whatever attempt at a Mackem accent she sees fit.

"Die thigh the"? That was meant to say "or something" - fuck you, predictive text!

I'm fairly sure Macho Man is on the soundtrack though. Maybe over the end credits or Die thigh the

(I'm on a bit of a roll now) Did this film invent the jukebox musical where they string a bit of story around someone's greatest hits? Like Mamma Mia, Rock of Ages and so on?

In respond to the audience member question why the construction worker got a solo song. Isn't it because he's got much better union representation than the other professions represented in the Village People?

Isn't it strange that the film creates this whole fictional (shit) origin story if how the band got together, when The Village People are an actual group. There's a real story of how they got together. Why the actual fuck didn't they just tell THAT story?

I have a correction. Jason is NOT on LinkedIn.

He kills people, he doesn't kill people. The story has to hold up. This didn't hold up at all. This was a at retread of things done better in other films (oh look THIS flashback again. Thomas Wayne has been shot more fucking times than 50 Cent.) No good narrative. No good dialogue. No coherence. Dream sequence. Dream sequence. Dream sequence. Thudding clunking plot points. No one does anything that makes sense. Smashy fighty Smashy fighty. Soupy fog. Ponderous ending. Shite.
