ridiculii:
WHERE HAS THIS MOVIE BEEN ALL MY LIFE?
Alright then, I’m taking this to the liveblog.
WE INTERRUPT THE SEMI-REGULAR DARK SHADOWS LIVEBLOG COMMENTARY NONSENSE TO BRING YOU
A MOVIE WITH DAVID WARNER, JOHN GIELGUD, DENIS LAWSON, AND KATHRYN LEIGH-SCOTT.
2 minutes of WHITE ON BLACK CREDITS IN UGLY FONT.
2 minutes of nothing but establishing shots that have nothing to do with each other.
and some old hairy guy running around the woods and then hugging a tree.
SO FAR SO GOOD.
So that hairy old guy that some guys with guns were trying to flush out of the woods like they were hunting something yeah I guess he’s hurt, whatever everything seems legit here.
I really hope this movie doesn’t expect me to take anything seriously despite having a cast seemingly handpicked for me - because that is not happening.
We shall not try to penetrate the odd recesses of your imagination, Woodford.
Except you said this in a Winston Churchill voice, Dirk Bogarde.
with the WHAT ARE MY CHARACTERS DOING kind of plot reminds me how Stephenie Meyer talked about how her characters had a mind of their own and she would plead with them not to do certain things
and I’m just like hmm right.
and continuous references to David Warner as “that boy.”

~BOY~
You cannot call yourself a fan of British cinema/actors until you have heard Sir John Gielgud exclaim “You won’t get me, you fucking bastards!”
“I’m quite easy in most situations.”
Taking things out of context blog 2011.
Another one of those stabbing pains right up the ass… bowels. And other stinger coming right up the spine to meet the one from the backside.
He’s so frightfully unattractive.
Gratuitous conversation I’ve had with everyone I know about everyone I lust after.
Also, fuck you too, Dirk Bogarde.
Now let silence soothe the troubled rectum.
THIS SCENE HAS BEEN WORTH THE ENTIRE MOVIE SO FAR.
Yes, I am recommending watching an entire film for a 15 second sequence.
- Dirk Bogarde: You look well.
- Elaine Stritch: I'm dying.
- Dirk Bogarde: Have you ever heard of an allegedly famous footballer called Woodford?
- Elaine Stritch: How's your wife?
- Dirk Bogarde: I'm thinking of killing his brother.
- ...
- Elaine Stritch: How's your father?
- Dirk Bogarde: He's still dying.
- ...
- Johnny G: What a bastard!
Christ, it’s the bloody footballer, the dreaded younger Woodward.
The only universe in which Wedge Antilles and Commander Sark are brothers.
