Yes, general music, film, games chat and discussion and rating site.

Tho it appears like ya pretty much nailed it, I will be sure to pull you up on any more absentees as I take a closer look. : )

Hmmph. I think it's absolutely disgraceful that you are cheating on us with another forum. You two-timing, err, two-timer, I though us Amazon Exiles were special. 😭😉

Yes, I know. I hope he's ashamed of himself. No sense of loyalty at all. I've heard whispers that Lez also partakes of other forums. Tut tut. You think you know someone...
Most disappointing.

Nosferatu, The Vampyre (Werner Herzog, 1979)
° a movie made in part to 'finish' Whedon's abruptly cancelled sci-fi show 'Firefly'. Not bad but rather unsatisfying I felt.
* these all on a two DVD set, Ealing Studios Rarities Collection Volume 10, which I bought for the Divided Heart. Of the others, Let's Be Famous and His Excellency are humdrum; the first most notable as an early appearance of Betty Driver (later Betty Turpin in Coronation Street), whilst Saloon Bar (touted in some quarters as a sort of precursor to the famous Ealing Comedies) was a pleasant surprise.

what a f***ing brilliant film. must be 20 years since i saw it last, but it stays with me.
Nosferatu, The Vampyre
another class piece of cinema, and another case of separating the actor from his terrible lifestyle. always liked kinski as an actor ('fitzcarraldo' is the headline for me), superbly ugly coupon, manic style, but now you're always thinking 'beast'!

I should change it to 'Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht' as it was the German language version I watched last night (off the very fine BFI blu-ray set)
