1. A kitchen sink (obviously)
2. Crying baby
3. Reposessing a television
4. A pub called the Red Lion
5. Council housing encroaching on or displacing Victorian-era buildings
6. Pub singalongs
7. Angry man (young or otherwise)
8. Urban blight
Jim, should I ever desire a viewpoint on the above, the only one I’d value above yours would be that of my “auntie” (actually my mother’s cousin) Barbara, the only survivor as far as I know of that generation in our family. Now 96, sharp as a whip but long since moved from her native Leeds to Suffolk and in contact via few phone calls per year. She’s also the last person alive (again, as far as I know) to remember me as a pre-school child.
I respect your thread without really having much to add to it. My parents were fortunate enough to escape said condition with a mixture of cunning, hard work and good luck, and I’m afraid that aspect of recent history doesn’t appeal to me at all, cinematically. Sure, I’ve seen a few examples of it - do The Knack, Kes, Blow Up, Seance on a Wet Afternoon count? Give me films with ooh ooh music, black-gloved killers and red herrings any day of the week.

Understood. Perhaps when I get started on the Mod '60s films thread, you will occupy it like a barfly whose elbow sleeve has been worn to the flesh by virtue of his constant presence there.

578. Thor, damning Eric Serra with faint praise while "still" bingeing on the complicated composer's music in "Kamikaze (Eric Serra)":
"Yeah, still on a Serra binge.
"This 1986 score rarely gets talked about. It's not directed by Besson, but he produced and co-wrote. I've never seen the film, but from what I understand, it's very much influenced by the 'cinema du look' style that Besson, Carax and Beineix championed at the time. Gotta love the premise: "A brilliant scientist goes insane and develops a technology that enables him to kill people by sending death rays through television cameras."
"I dig it. Has a couple of tracks that are a bit shrill (especially those early string samples), and the two songs are mediocre, but overall highly, highly enjoyable. Fusion of acid jazz, Asian stylings and synthpop. I think the CD is very rare, but I do believe it is a commercial release."

581 Randy Watson sticking it to the pest on La La Land/MV Questions thread.
Adokrycha "When do they announce black friday releases?"
Randy Watson: "May sound crazy, but they announce them on Black Friday.
I know you are dumb as bricks but come on dude, it's right there in the name."
