Always knocking flannel nightgowns. I make my own. To the floor. I can't sleep with cold feet. My voluminous nightgowns allow me to turtle my feet to warm them up. Dad's people left Wales for America. Ended up mining in Montana. Not sure when. Mom's folks came from Holland in 1654. I'm made of dragons and tulips.
Very unusual, very excellent suspenseful Welsh movie. Really enjoy these old black and white movies, even the English made ones. Thanks for the post. Joe S
I LIKE TO READ THE NAMES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CAST AT THE START OF THE PICTURE BUT THE WAY THE CAST MEMBERS WERE LISTED IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE THEM OUT!!!!!!!
So fucking true too. Sorry, but I have no desire to spend an eternity stroking the ego of a psychopath who will commit genocide just because he feels like it. At least Satan has never killed anyone. 😌
First time see. Brilliantly executed movie. Superb acting from all actors. I kept waiting for Hitchcock to walk by even though I knew it was,nt a Hitch movie. Will definitely watch it again. Thanks for the post.😊
This has to be the coolest scene in the whole movie I love the way oddball just says Hi Man! That's what makes it so funny this scene and the way he says that he's definitely an anti social type and then does the dog impression is really funny as well RIP Oddball.
My parents stayed in Cardiff with my aunt in an old cottage they shot rabbits to eat as there wasn't much food lovely countryside havnt seen my aunt in years she must be in her80s
Jerry Seinfeld's Right !......We need guy's like Don Rickles and Richard Pryor AGAIN !......Screw Righties & Lefties BOTH if they ain't got no sense of humor !
Watching this as a teenager: this film is great Watching this film while being an adult with his own family: Damn this film missed the point 😂 the film was all about sexual needs. Not about what humans really fight for, not the real struggles of life in a world at its end. It shows that in the 80s all hollywood wanted was meat and pussy. It doesn’t represent humanity at all. Because imagine that at the end of all things when instinct and desperation take over? Will reproducing be the feeling in you? Because the evidence states animals don’t fuck when they’re suffering
lol, I have been wargaming with miniatures since the (very) early 1970s... Every once in a while, when I am gaming with a new person I will mention "toy soldiers" and get that same response, to which I always reply: "Yours may be 'war gaming models' but mine have always just been toy soldiers"! ;)
The people in the comments here lauding this ending for how "anti-woke" and "based" it is would probably do well to remember that Ellison himself hated the fact that Quilla's murder is played for comedy and the fact that Joanna Russ, a friend of Ellison's, criticised him harshly over it. The "unwoke" past you so desperately cling to doesn't exist, shut up
I could hit this from so, so many angles... but I would ask one thing first: Did you actually watch the entire movie? She got no less than she deserved...in a movie that had Jason (fing!) Robards in freaking "white face" in a bomb shelter pretending he is in Kansas... Again: did you actually WATCH this movie; because you did NOT bother to read my comments on the clip AT ALL THAT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR! :) Give them a read now, then maybe watch the movie (again?) Oh...btw that time has not past: The movie is set in 2024 (seriously). :)
My mother was a primary school teacher in a neighbouring village to Aberfan in the 60's when a slag heap collapsed and smothered the village school killing half the children of the village. I was born a few years later and she could only speak about it in a near whisper. Anyone who remembers Aberfan would never forget the horror, but too many people are brought up to not know our recent history and the cost in human lives to make a very small number of people rich. Now we just export the same problems to poorer countries out of sight. There's more going on in this story than first meets the eye with the eccentric characters and the decrepit House. It's a lightweight, unusual entertainment at first glance but try and see it through the eyes of the generation who would have watched it in the cinema,it has layers to it then.
Wonderful movie which I had never heard of. Thank you to the locals for the history. I live in the US, with Welsh ancestors, so your comments were fascinating.
