Recently watched movies

I really want to see the new Pacino/DeNiro movie! Sounds like good fun!

Last night, after a really bad day with my heart we settled and watched "Pans Labrynth" which was an "Adult fairytale", it was actually quite good, and had a touching story line.

Hi Mike,

I used to see him at various motor sports events. He would p!ss some people off because he wouldn't give autographs but I understand that he didn't want to do that all the time. I suppose if anyone ever got an autograph from him that it would be worth some real money.

I rarely read or watch the news after tea time. It's family time, then when the kids have gone to bed, it's either a film, or we snuggle and watch tv.

This morning, I had to organise a bulky refuse collection, which was due to start at 8.30 until 11, then I made my way to West Hull to take some photo's. I finally got to read the news about 30 minutes ago, my jaw dropped to the floor, and I was close to tears!

I loved the man, he made some awsome films, and I have most of them on video. My wife recently bought me a very rare edition of "Butch and Sundance", and my son, is crazy about "Cars", the Disney/Pixar movie!

I know he was old, and was aware he was ill, but I never expected this!

May he rest in peace!

Paul Newman died yesterday. I'd heard he was in bad shape a couple of weeks ago. There's a guy who almost never made a bad movie.

I still have contacts in the distribution business and I shall see if I can track a copy down.

Hi Dougie, I remember a while ago there was a manson related doc, that I was supposed to get in my store. At last minute, the distributor pulled the plug and we never got it! I was gutted, but it recieved a lot of bad press in the trade mags at the time. I wonder if it was the same one!

I remember they had marketed a really bad looking sleeve, with red writing on it, in fact, somewhere upstairs in my movie boxes, I should still have the artwork for it, as I kept a lot of the murder stuff!

Mike,
There was a documentary just titled "MANSON!" made by this hendrickson guy,who had access to the "family" and filmed on location ..I believe amazon had it on sale some years ago but there was a threatened law suit by hendrickson and it was removed.This latest "inside the manson gang" was released about 6 months ago and in limited numbers and only from this hendrickson fellow....I tried to purchase a copy and was told that no rights had been granted outside of the u.s so they couldnt sell me a copy.....Ive had friends within america try to purchase a copy for me but for some reason they have been unable to..but the film does exist for sure,you can even view trailers on you tube unless they have been removed for legal reasons ..im not sure. filmed at spahn ranch and death valley at the time,all the family is there,interviews etc daily life.......well worth watching..if you can get it....
regards

Lets just say I know someone who acquired a copy of "inside the manson gang"..a documentary by richard hendrikson that isnt available in britain officially and apparently hard to get in the u.s also.........terriffic documentary and well worth watching..if you can get hold of a copy..its not for general retail sale,only from one outlet as i understand..limited issue etc .

Hi Bailey,
Brilliant photo's on the link.....you're a very good photographer.

I bought my camera off the net.When it arrived it had travelled half way around the world in an ordinary brown envelope...rattled a bit....and the little box is out of place...so I have to gage everything over to the left of the screen,before I click the button.But hey,that's the exciting world of photography for you.
Recently,it completely fell to bits,so I have cellotaped it up.

New Zealand looks like a really nice place to live.My dad was out there in the 2nd World War..as he was on the Gambia in the New Zealand navy.

Best Regards,
ANNA.

Next time you should post the pictures on your Flickr account Bailey. I had a look over your work recently and I was very impressed, especially with the Whitechapel related street signs!

Whenever "Rocky Horror Picture Show" is shown at the theatre in Hull, there are loads of men walking around in stockings and stilletos!!!

I did my time at Rocky Horror in my late teens (still my all time favourite movie, lost count of how many times I've seen in somewhere in the 130's). Did my own makeup, had a cape, corset and fishnets etc. And for all those inclined to mock... a significant number of young ladies found that rather appealing, and I did rather nicely out of it

I recently finished watching "12 Angry Men" (1957), starring Henry Fonda. Great film.

But what a great story, it has all the elements of a feel good Hollywood movie! Ron Howard would love that!
