Top Ten Guilty Pleasures

[arjuna_lj]

At the moment.

1. The Ghost and Mrs Muir. Yep, still working my way through.
2. Anything with Michael Caine in it.
3. Big Audio Dynamite.
4. Lime and black pepper crisps.
5. Community - if only Harry Kersey of dwspank was on LJ. I'd love to ask him if he saw/what he thought about Britta's Spanking Scene in 1.18

Films by Nicolas Roeg.

Oh God yes. I'm a total Nicolas Roeg fanboy.

The Ghost and Mrs Muir

When you say you're working your way through it, do you mean the TV series with Hope Lange (rather than the Gene Tierney film)? And if so, where did you get it? I've been searching for ages trying to source it for my Dad.

TV series - I am daftly fond of it - grew up watching repeats as a kid. Got mine from this mob.

TBH it's a bit of a ripoff - there used to be an American lass about who did tape copies (for a moderate fee) - extended play, not such good quality, but watchable. This lot seem to have taken her tapes, transferred them to DVD, and upped the price. (I'm confident about this - the eps are in the same idiosyncratic order as on her tapes, the ad break remnants are the same, and her tape timer is - sadly for vidders - visible).

Not particularly brilliant quality, but it is at least complete, they do ship internationally, and the discs arrive fast. It's also possibly the only option out there so *shrug*. (although there are some unmarked, slightly better quality copies of some episodes emerging on Youtube... I'll be interested to see if a rival set pops up in the near future).

Hi, over in the Yahoo Ghost and Mrs. Muir loop we have two sets of tapes: one, mostly unedited and another, much better color, from Australia Nick. Email gamm@yahoogroups for more info --

All a little tame for him, I suspect. He's big on laughing-despite-the-horror splattery stuff. Not a genre I know too much about - I can take just so much and then my Can't Watch filter kicks in. He seems not to have one :)

[mab_browne]

Peter Jackson's Bad Taste, perhaps. *g* If the hubby enjoys black humour splatter films?

[arjuna_lj]

Has it, loves it, watches it at least twice a year. Something equally grotesque would probably go down very well :)

[talithax]

Not grotesque, but.. funny?

Mr Vampire

... After encountering a client file today that had, seriously, written on it - 'no longer deceased' (?!) we somehow found ourselves on the topic of Mr Vampire. ::snerk:: Pretty much livened up the afternoon.

Aaah... Edward Woodward. I'm in the grips of working my way through the New Professionals for the first time in a very long time.

... Can't believe it had slipped my mind how *married* they are! ::g::
