Everything Else / Re: what Film / TV are you watching RIGHT NOW
« Last post by Master Ray on April 26, 2025, 08:02:22 PM »I had a fun time with 'Havoc', Tom Hardy's new action flick now on Netflix. It's a new one from Gareth Evans, a welsh film director who somehow found himself in South Korea directing two of the greatest action films of all time, 'The Raid' and 'The Raid 2' and then did the first series of 'Gangs Of London'... so you can imagine that this one isn't about delicate issues between emotionally repressed British people who never do anything more exciting than raising a cup of tea. 
Hardy (playing a mumbly action hero again) is a cop in debt to a gangster / now powerful and respectable businessman type after doing favours for him in return for cash and is forced into finding the gangsters son when the lad is implicated in a mass murder robbery and finds himself fighting off both Chinese mafia assassins and some fellow bent cops who are in the same pursuit. If you're familiar with Mr Evans previous work it'll be no surprise that this a hugely violent film (nobody's dead until they've had at least a dozen bullets in them and they've decorated the ceiling with their blood!
) but if you know what you're getting into then it's a pretty cool flick. Here's the trailer, be warned, it's not family friendly...

« Last post by Winterwulf on April 25, 2025, 08:13:15 PM »Rory Gallagher's "Could Have Had Religion" was around the nine-minute mark in its full version, though true bluesman that he was it was always improvised and no two recordings are alike. I'd recommend the 1971 Paris theatre version or the restored 1972 Marquee footage where in a quiet bit you see a drop of sweat fall off his nose and hear it hit a pickup, that version sends shivers down my spine.
For massively long tracks, there's Sunn-O, there was an amusing comment on Youtube about their stuff being measured in minutes per beat rather than beats per minute...

« Last post by Master Ray on April 23, 2025, 08:50:45 PM »I'm not gonna deny it, I can be a bit of a Prog Head, where immensely long tunes are somewhat the norm... but what about tunes that are rather lengthy but not from a band who are in that particular genre? Anyone got any favourites that aren't conventionally Prog? Also, we don't strictly have to stick to the ten minute rule, anything there or about is fine.
Madness - The Liberty Of Norton Folgate
David Bowie - Station To Station
Snow Patrol - The Lightning Strike
Nina Simone - Sinnerman
Bob Dylan - Desolation Row
Tool - Fear Inoculum
Just a daft idea for a thread, trying to pump some life back into this Forum, anyone got anything else?

I introduced myself to my teacher, and I got suspended.
I introduced myself to a pretty girl, and she told me to **** off.
I introduced myself to my neighbor, and he punched me.
Maybe there's somebody else named "Yorick Hunt" with a bad reputation out there.
