New to this site – a film typelist. So if you want to see what we’ve been watching lately on our very cheap Asda’s DVD player have a look here. There will be alot of foreign stuff and I understand that there’s a whole raft of filmie underclass who won’t watch anything with subtitles on – shame on you – you’re missing out on the some of the greatest movies ever made. When I go to France, I always buy a copy of Premiere magazine, in fact i tend to clean out the film section of the tabac (newsagents). There seems to be no distinction between Hollywood films and Art House cinema, its all the same and is judged equally. Its the sort of thing you wish would go on here, then there wouldn’t be such a class divide in the way people see films. I know it comes down to distribution the multiplex’s attitude, but I do think there is a cutural difference too. People think that Luc Besson is arty because he’s french, but I’m sure he’d rather put himself next to Micheal Mann and Jan de Bont etc. He makes arty action films…mmm…and he looks like Martin Scanlan.
