Tremendous film. Glad to see it here.

Tyler Perry's Ruthless (2020)
glostarz999 -1 points 2 years ago*.

I’ve always been ‘Ruthless’. Never had a Ruth of my own. There was one who lived pretty close to me when I was a kid but I never really knew her. I knew her big brother Brian though and he was an @rse. Ruth seemed quite sweet to be honest. Maybe it would be quite nice to have a Ruth? I’ll probably never find out. I’m too old for that kind of thing these days.

This isn’t about the Fleetwood Mac album?

That comment got a laugh out of me mate. Thanks for that.

This was brilliant. Loved every second of it.

The Return of the Living Dead (1985)

That was outstanding. Can’t believe that I’ve never seen it before. Thank you so much to all who recommended it in the comments.

Fear City: A Family-Style Comedy (1994)

I really enjoyed this. Thought it was hilarious and it caught me in just the right mood.

Doctor Who (2005)
Tardis3162 8 points 2 years ago.

I don’t understand why people are blaming Jodie Whittaker for the decline. Granted she isn’t who I would have chosen for the first female Doctor, I would have liked to see someone like Michelle Ryan. That would have worked perfectly off of Peter Capaldi’s bit of the Doctor sometimes using the faces of people he’s meet before. Jodie doesn’t make my top 5 or anything like that. However that being said I think she has done great with what she has been given. The REAL problem with Jodie’s three seasons (well two so far) is 100% Chris Chibnall…SO BAD!!! I hear he’s leaving when Jodie leaves after this upcoming season. And I couldn’t be happier!!

glostarz999 10 points 2 years ago.

I agree with every word of that. Chibnall was always the problem. Bloke is an absolutely appalling writer and showrunner. The cast had nothing to work with at all. So glad that he’s leaving next year. Toby Whithouse would have been my choice after Moffat stepped down.

In the Mood for Love (2001)
goatboy1 3 points 2 years ago.

I have always heard of how highly regarded his works were, but I never got around to watching them until recently. I still haven’t seen much, only Chungking Express and these. And I haven’t watched 2046 properly, only bits and pieces. I really want to see Fallen Angels and Ashes in Time.

glostarz999 2 points 2 years ago.

Chungking Express is a masterpiece. Just so much to love in that film. Makes you really want to eat pineapple and listen to ‘California Dreaming’ over and over and over again. Enjoy the rest of his work mate. I’m so pleased for you for being able to watch that stuff for the very first time. I watch his movies over and over and always get something different from them.

In the Mood for Love (2001)
goatboy1 4 points 2 years ago*.

Amazing movie! There are tons of videos on youtube dedicated just to breaking down the cinematography of this film. It’s the second installment in a loose trilogy…the first being “Days of Being Wild”, and culminating with “2046”.

glostarz999 2 points 2 years ago.

All of his films are amazing. Watch the rest if you haven’t already, although I’m guessing that you probably have.

Ghosts & Witches of Olde England (2001)
glostarz999 2 points 2 years ago.

Got a ghost and a witch living in my garage at the moment up here in the North of England. They’re a bit of a pain in the arse to be honest. The ghost keeps drinking all of my booze and the witch is a homicidal maniac but she’s really powerful and she refuses to leave.

TX2Guns 2 points 2 years ago.

Many Thanks. Those Northern English accents are thick.

glostarz999 6 points 2 years ago.

Who are you calling thick mate? Did you just insult my whippet and call my pint a big girls blouse? My accent would beat the living daylights out of your accent. We don’t take any prisoners up here in the frozen North.

Whitstable Pearl (2021)
glostarz999 0 points 2 years ago*.

Having had the misfortune of visiting Whitstable once I definitely wouldn’t have made a TV series set there. Dreadful place. Peter Cushing used to live there though, so it must have something going for it.

Edit: The locals used to sing a song. It went something like ‘Peter Cushing lives in Whitstable/ You can see him on his bicycle/ I once saw him buying vegetables/ Peter Cushing lives in Whitstable’ He’s dead now though so pretty unlikely that you’re going to see him doing either of those things these days.

The Exorcism in Amarillo (2020)
arigabnaz00 -4 points 3 years ago.

FINALLY!!! A great movie that ACCURATELY demonstrates how to DEAL with DEMONS, HAUNTINGS, even ALIENS.
The DAD was not only a SOLDIER in the PHYSICAL, but also the SPIRITUAL, (and the mom was strong too!)
VICTORY can only be found through the ONE and ONLY GOD, JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH.

glostarz999 5 points 3 years ago*.

I’m hard as nails and Northern mate. If a demon or a ghost or an alien messes with me I just lamp it one. Always does the trick. ‘I ain’t ‘fraid of no ghost’.

i was actually replying to the downvoters I’m so sorry i didn’t make that clear. u were absolutely right haha. sorry for the confusion and pls take care and stay safe<3

glostarz999 2 points 3 years ago.

Almost all of my best comments get downvoted. I wouldn’t let it get to you. I just find it pretty funny that people find the time to go to the trouble of doing that. Don’t take this place too seriously. I certainly don’t.

The Red Balloon (Short 1956) (1957)
Saucer-People 4 points 3 years ago.

In my opinion the three greatest short films are Chris Marker’s Le Jetee, Alain Resnais’ Night And Fog and Albert Lamorisse’s The Red Balloon. Curiously, all three films are French and yet are so different in genre, style and subject matter, but all three are worth watching back to back to give you a sense of what is possible in just over 90.minutes of film making, the length of an average film.
However, if you’re looking for a single film to make you smile, The Red Balloon is for you.

glostarz999 3 points 3 years ago*.

Are you sure that you’re not me, mate? Because I agree with every single word of that comment. You just saved me the bother of having to comment myself so cheers for that.

Just read the description. That’s happened to everyone at some point, surely? Hardly worth making a film about.

Riders of Justice (2021)
glostarz999 4 points 3 years ago*.

Just got around to watching this and it was pretty much what I expected it to be. Not as good as ‘Adam’s Apples’ or ‘The Green Butchers’ but still really entertaining. Some of the black humour might upset some people though so be warned. And you do get to see Nicolas Bro topless and that’s something that I feel that I ought to warn people about too. All men envy his physique. Lots and lots of ridiculous facial hair in this movie. Mads looked ancient with that beard and Nikolaj Lie Kaas was virtually unrecognisable. Really good fun. I enjoyed it a lot.

Nyugalom (2008)
Dodi 4 points 3 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

The title means “calm”, totally Lovecraftian. lol But the subject is dark and evil, showing the sadistic way Soviet Communism twisted it’s great talents into the dust, and it’s consequent collateral damage.

glostarz999 2 points 3 years ago.

In a weird kind of way I do actually associate Lovecraft with ‘calm’ because my ex girlfriend bought me a cuddly plush toy Cthulhu for my birthday about two decades ago and I slept with it on my pillow for years. Think he saved me from quite a few nightmares. He was a cute little bugger but I must have lost him moving house one time. I miss him to be honest. He wasn’t quite as terrifying when he was only nine inches tall and smiling at you and really soft and snuggly. I will just stress here that there was no sex involved. Our relationship was way above any of that mucky stuff. That’s just really nasty and it’s unhygienic too. I will watch this film eventually. Got a hell of a long list of stuff to watch right now and there are only so many hours in a day.

Riders of Justice (2021)
glostarz999 3 points 3 years ago.

That’s a really strong looking cast with some of Denmark’s finest actors and Anders Thomas Jensen’s films are usually great. Definitely going to be watching this ASAP. Many thanks to whoever uploaded this here.

You’re very welcome.

The Brand New Testament (2015)

highly recommend. didn’t know what to expect and i found a treasure trove. it’s dark humour and highly entertaining. not for the easily offended.

glostarz999 6 points 3 years ago.

If you enjoyed that then you might want to check out some of Van Dormael’s other movies. I’d highly recommend ‘Toto the Hero’, ‘The Eighth Day’ and ‘Mr. Nobody’ to you. He’s probably my favourite Belgian director.

Ancient Aliens (2009) S17 E1
Alien 3 points 3 years ago.

It’s always aliens.

glostarz999 4 points 3 years ago*.

To be fair sometimes it’s just ball lightning bouncing off a strut. Or witches. But you’re right. It is usually aliens.

Nyugalom (2008)
glostarz999 1 points 3 years ago.

Hooray! A new film to add to that long list of movies with titles that sound like something evil that Lovecraft might have come up with.

The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby (2001)
glostarz999 1 points 3 years ago*.

True story this. My brother went to ‘Pembleton Honey World’ years ago and he bought me this little bee shaped pendant there and it’s made of nickel. And it doesn’t wear underwear. Ever since then I’ve referred to it as my knickerless nickel bee. And that was how I fell in love with the works of Charles Dickens.

Modern British Slavery (2017)
glostarz999 0 points 3 years ago.

I preferred the old style British slavery where we rampaged across the globe subjugating people and stealing all of their resources and causing endless damage and wars and slaughter and just called it ‘The Empire’ and pretended that it was a good thing rather than something despicable to be thoroughly ashamed of. This recent stuff seems pretty minor in comparison. I blame Brexit for that.

Mondo Trasho (1969)
rapscallion 1 points 3 years ago.

I’m gonna have to agree with Waters that this should have been a short film instead of a feature-length.

glostarz999 0 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

This site needs more John Waters though. One of my favourite American filmmakers. There’s a line in one of his movies about a dildo being left in a wishing well that absolutely destroyed me the first time that I saw it. Couldn’t stop laughing for hours.

The Worlds of Philip K. Dick (2016)
TisOnlyMe 6 points 3 years ago.

One key to the dark, dystopian vision is his continued use of Amphetamines. i believe Stephen King used them too, both writers of prolific weirdness. Ever take speed? It’ll lead you down some dark by-ways and of course, creativity is only a fine line away from insanity EVER. Speed also makes you paranoid, another shared ingredient in this genre. This doc made me feel sad, not a lot of happiness going on but i suppose the work, his output, is justification.. i have long believed that great art is usually the product of obsession, which leads to compromise in all other areas of a Life. Sad Life but some great stories

glostarz999 5 points 3 years ago.

I agree completely. The multiple revolving wives probably helped too in getting the creative juices flowing. Speed is an evil and dirty drug but it’s cheap and easy to get hold of and it fuelled most of his work. He only really lost me when he got religion in his later years. ‘Flow my Tears, the Policeman Said’ is an underrated masterpiece. See also ‘Radio Free Albemuth’. Not watched the doc yet. One of my favourite writers though.

The Worlds of Philip K. Dick (2016)
TisOnlyMe 3 points 3 years ago.

Hmm, yeah, interesting doc on Dick. Worth a watch if you like his stories :))x

glostarz999 7 points 3 years ago*.

‘Doc on Dick’ sounds like a BBC3 show that I REALLY wouldn’t want to watch. Looking forward to watching this though. Only Lovecraft could match him for sheer invention and creativity in the sci fi/ horror genre. And Lovecraft was a nutcase too. That probably isn’t a coincidence.

I use Streamzz with some frequency; my browser is Firefox, with uBlock Origin. After years of experimenting, those are my preferred browser and ad-blocker.

FF does one weird thing, but it’s so minor that I don’t care: When I post comments using Disqus, FF sometimes inserts and extra line-space. That’s the only hiccup I’ve had with it, and in all other ways, including privacy issues, I’m happier w FF than I was with Chrome and Opera.

glostarz999 1 points 3 years ago.

FF used to be my browser of choice in general but using sites like this I just got pop under after pop under and it annoyed the hell out of me so I reluctantly only use chrome for this place. Seems like everyone has a different experience. All part of life’s rich pageant I guess.

Julia (1974)
TisOnlyMe 2 points 3 years ago.

Hah isn’t it funny how these things work for some people and not for others! Maybe it depends on which part of the world you’re in.. Drag for me as a lot of old foreign movies just appear here on Clip and Aparat and i can’t seem to use either. I’ll try to find UBlock.. I’ve even successfully used Streamz occasionally, see.. Funny!! Thanks for your reply anyhow, yeah i just got a wee fit of frustration at yet another movie i won’t be able to watch :))x

glostarz999 2 points 3 years ago.

If you really did manage to get Streamz to work then you’re a better man than me mate. I use adblock plus and Ublock origin in tandem on chrome and if a hosting site doesn’t like that then usually just turning one or the other off works fine to get the video to play without being bombarded with ads and pop ups. I’m a fan of obscure old movies myself, so I feel your pain.

Julia (1974)
TisOnlyMe 3 points 3 years ago.

A MESSAGE TO WHOEVER IT IS THAT UPLOADS THESE OLD MOVIES.. Posting on Clipwatching and Aparat is frankly an unkindness to viewers like myself.. i can NEVER watch ANY of these interesting old flicks you post here. CLIPWATCHING.com says “Disable ADBLOCK in order to continue viewing”.. i tried that 2 yrs ago but it still says the same message and won’t open try as i might. APARAT.com is just a hog-fest of unwanted ads which come cascading at you when you try to connect in spite of ADBLOCK, and they keep on coming even after you close them, too frustrating to manage actually watching the movie, i’ve NEVER managed to watch ANY of the movies you kindly posted here on these IMPOSSIBLE links. PLEASE NOTE, OTHER CLEANER LINKS REQUIRED FOR EVERYTHING YOU POSTED like EVER! MIXDROP or DOOD or some of the others work fine in spite of their pop-ups which can easily be dealt with.. When i see CLIPWATCHING and APARAT listed my heart just sinks as i know they won’t work.. PLEASE could you find suitable alternatives. I KNOW.. i should ask for links elsewhere but this is something different, a GENERAL PLEA for better connections. UPLOADERS, HUGE RESPECT for all your efforts on our behalf, helping to keep everyone sane through these difficult times, but Please NB! THANKS :((x

glostarz999 2 points 3 years ago.

I don’t think that its that simple mate. Aparat works fine for me, as does Clipwatching MOST of the time. Other people have issues with Mixdrop and Doodwatch. I have no problems with ANY of them at present. Not sure WHY that is. Only site that NEVER works is that Streamz nonsense for me and that’s the ONLY site that has EVER told me to turn off adblock. Maybe try some different adblock extensions or a different browser maybe? Give Ublock a go. Best of luck mate. I understand your frustration and you have my sympathy.

This is such an incredible film - if you like your cinema with a dose of high strangeness then this is one definitely for you.
Kudos to whoever posted this, I saw it a couple of times when it came out and its such a pleasure to revisit it as it is one of those films that seem to improve with repeat viewing.
File under independent/arthouse but in the best sense of the terms.

glostarz999 2 points 3 years ago.

Couldn’t agree more. I bloody love this film and it’s great to see it on here and so many other great none English language movies being added here too in recent weeks.

glostarz999 1 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

The daft thing is that he’s RIGHT about so much stuff but then he feels the need to immediately discredit himself and make himself a laughing stock by claiming that the ruling classes are all shape shifting reptilian aliens. Still can’t tell if he’s just a really effective establishment plant designed to discredit ANY talk of corruption or government conspiracies or just a complete crank who probably ought to seek help.

It was kind of a bit of both. A joking way of suggesting you may have missed the deeper things this show had to say for itself. But then, I was ten when I first saw it so I could be totally wonky. Your comment was very funny, though!

M (1951)
glostarz999 1 points 3 years ago.

It’s definitely worth seeing, however big a fan you may be of the original (and I am). I think that there is also a Japanese or Korean spin on this too but I could be remembering that wrong because I’m old and addled.

If nothing else you’ve got to love the producer’s name. Seymour Nebenzal. That really warms my cockles. It sounds like both an instruction to read more Lovecraft and also an exotic invitation to broaden your horizons a bit too. I’m in my fifties and I’ve never seen ANY Nebenzal. I probably ought to try to see at least SOME of it before the current virus related boredom kills me.

Cerdita (Short 2018) (2018)
glostarz999 0 points 4 years ago*.

This little cheapo short managed to make me hate bullies more than I already do which is a feat in itself I suppose. The very predictable twist that wasn’t really a twist in the last few minutes was. . . well, nothing really though. Film school student stuff and Christ knows what the moral was supposed to be at the end, if it it was even aiming for trying to say something remotely profound about the subject matter.

A D- minus from me for whoever shot this. Must try harder in future. Your films need to have some kind of point to them and not be just a tacky excuse for you to show off a bit of bare flesh if you want to be taken seriously.It did pass ten minutes or so though. I’ll give it that.

Late edit: Just a word of warning though if you are planning on viewing this (I really wouldn’t bother if I were you). If you don’t have a reasonable grasp of Spanish then just forget about it because the English subtitles are absolutely microscopic.
