The Black Phone on Netflix tonight ... horror - abducted kids - serial killer - supernatural twist... missus ****ting herself - Ethan Hawke as the bad guy - very watchable - solid 8/10 ... if not a tad more ...

 

His Alexander The Great was certainly memorable...

 

He'll tell you to watch The Lobster in a minute.

Don't.

I did, and I can never unsee it.

 

Yeah that's not for everyone.

 

Yeh now you tell me.

 

Why would you watch that?

 

... do you remember HIAG's rather unsettling fascination with The Human Centipede ... or whatever it was called?

 

I'm a quarter Macedonian on my paternal grandmother's side ...

 

Yeh I do as it goes

I don't think I'd heard about it before he started on it with someone and then I googled it. He was funny tbf.

 

Fun fact - Cleopatra, the Egyptian Queen, was actually a direct descendent of one of Alexander The Great's generals - Ptolemy...

 

All I know is she weren't happy when the library burnt down.

 

Really?

 

Did I convince you to watch The Killing of a Sacred Deer? Banger.

 

Is Barry Venison in it?

 

Last week ... Thermodynamics

This week ... Optical lobe function

I've got to say, he does take being wrong to a whole other level.

 

Not answering that.

 

He had some good gags. Not all and certainly not at the end when he went off the rails

 

Credit where due, he was an accomplished WUM and could be very funny - he also had a less pleasant side when angered and could cross the bantz boundaries... overall the former outweighed the latter and he was without doubt one of the more prominent and interesting 'characters' on the forum ...

 

admittedly i was a latecomer to the PL board but i thought he was a tedious bore .

 

His later years were characterised with some intransigence and perhaps a little bitterness and he was obviously a bit of a troubled soul as his unfortunate and arguably untimely and unnecessary demise attested ...
