Några äkta klassiska filmer på månadens lista, och som vanligt en den klassiker som flyttat till tuben på gamla dagar.

Alla Helgons Blodiga Natt / Halloween (1978) [👍] Klassisk skräckis som förtjänar sin klassikerstatus. Kommer troligtvis inte se några av uppföljarna dock (det var heller inte avsikten med att se den).

Den 27e dagen / 27th Day, the (1957) [👍🆓] Intressant brittisk SF som överraskar.

Djävulsflickan från Mars / Devil Girl from Mars (1954) [👎🆓] Patricia Laffan gör en storartad Garboisk insats i en film med en relativt löjlig premiss.

Mordet på Orientexpressen / Murder on the Orient Express (1974) [_] Albert Finney gör erkännes den märkligaste tolkningen av Poirot jag sett. Agatha Christie får säga vad hon vill om den, jag säger den ligger över filmen som en våt stickig filt.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021) [_] Inte fullt så dålig som jag tippade på förhand, men kämpar för att försöka ta sig över ribban för "hjärndött våld". Svårt att se den här utan att få en viss respekt för Paul W.S. Andersons prestation 2002.

Rymdinvasion i Lappland (1959) [👍] Kommer jag någonsin hitta en genuint bra svensk "se om"-film i färg*? Troligtvis inte --

Treasure of Matecumbe (1976) [_] Kuligt Disney-äventyr som kanske inte håller spec:arna för politiskt korrekt idag.

Uncharted (2022) [👍] Röjjigt actionäventyr av den moderna skolan. Helt klart värd att ses, och skulle inte ha något emot en uppföljare.

Vulcan, Son of Jupiter / Vulcano, figlio di Giove (1962) [🆓] Spretig.

Warlords of Atlantis (1978) [🆓] Den vite brittiske gentlemannen hittar Atlantis, har åsikter och anser sig givetvis vara dem som har rätt.

Så, vad skall @kulturdasset och alla porrbottar som följer mig ta med sig till tv:n från denna månads lista? Låt mig slå ett slag för Rymdinvasion i Lappland som jag måste erkänna var över alla förväntningar.

*) Givetvis är Göta Kanal och Sällskapsresan undantagna: jag är inte någon psykopat.

y’know, I don’t think Murder on the Orient Express is intended as a feel good movie, nor do I think that was Christie’s intention when writing the source novel, but dammnit it is SUCH a feel good movie. I beam widely every time I watch it. A child murderer getting his comeuppance, and all the people he wronged getting their revenge and closure? Fiction is so cathartic. And then the final scene when they all comfort each other and afterwards share meaningful looks over that wine procession? it just makes me so happy

#this is tumblr so i feel i need to add im not advocating for vigilante justice irl #though not necessarily condemning it outright #people don't give enough nuance to discussions surrounding it honestly #but man this movie just lifts my spirits i dunno #murder on the orient express 1974 #emilys fandom thoughts

I simply think that if you're an actor who's going to play Hercule Poirot, you need to at least read several Hercule Poirot mysteries in addition to the story you're acting in. He's insufferable because he's vain and arrogant, not because he's a drama queen. He acts like a drama queen not because he's actually overcome by emotion but because he deliberately plays into perceptions of himself as a funny little foreigner so that people will underestimate him. The big reveal at the end of the mystery are because he's spent the whole story keeping his thoughts close to his chest and the grandiose speeches are a way for Christie to show the reader how his brain has been working, they're not just because he's an attention whore. He is an attention whore, but he is very conscious about the shape of that attention - he doesn't just want people to look at him, he specifically wants people to recognize how clever he is. And you won't get this if you just read one Poirot book, you need to read at least two or three in order to recognize what's part of his character and what he's putting on as part of an act for the sake of the investigation.

#the valley is posting #folks we are watching the 1974 murder on the orient express and it is not good!

In a fit of I know not what, I also watched the following:

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS: Kenneth Branagh is an unlikely choice to play Agatha Christie's eccentric Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, and neither his performance nor his direction brings much life to this glossy but slapdash adaptation of one of Christie's most famous books. As with the 1974 film version with Albert Finney, the star-studded cast is both a major selling point and a central weakness: Many of the big names act like they've wandered in from completely different movies, preventing the film from ever feeling of a piece. (The casting of Johnny Depp, even as the film's most detestable character, also sits ill, as does a disagreeable opening sequence set in prewar Jerusalem.) Moreover, the prominence of the stars eventually underscores the absurdity of the story's ludicrous denouement. For all its popularity, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS is really one of Christie's weaker mysteries, particularly now that the real-world Lindbergh kidnapping that obviously inspired the novel has faded from the popular consciousness. As a story, EXPRESS is best served by adaptations less burdened by stunt casting, like the 1992 BBC Radio 4 dramatization, with John Moffat as Poirot. If you're mostly interested in costume porn, stick with the 1974 film, which isn't a great movie either, but has superior costume design and fine cinematography to help keep you awake through its many lulls.

DEATH ON THE NILE: Perfectly dreadful big-budget adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel gets off to a bad start with a stupid framing sequence claiming that Poirot is a heroic (and heterosexual!) WW1 veteran who grew his famous mustache to cover battle scars, and gets worse from there. The main plot remains faithful enough to the original novel to make its variances all the more distracting (without changing the fact that anyone familiar with the book or the earlier adaptations already knows the solution to the mystery!), its slick production values are badly undermined by terrible CGI inserts, and many of the stars are miscast or just plain awful (with Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, and Russell Brand particularly bad). Either the overstuffed 1978 feature version with Peter Ustinov or the 2004 David Suchet TV movie is a much better use of your time.

A HAUNTING IN VENICE: The third time's not the charm in this lavishly produced but unsatisfying reinvention of Christie's 1969 HALLOWE'EN PARTY, relocated from late-sixties England to postwar Vienna. Hercule Poirot's old friend, mystery novelist and Christie self-insert Ariadne Oliver (Tina Fey, fingernails-on-chalkboard bad), lures the great detective out of retirement to attend a Halloween party in the supposedly haunted palazzo of former diva Rowena Drake (Kelly Reilly), where noted spiritualist Joyce Reynolds (Michelle Yeoh) plans to hold a seance to contact the spirit of Drake's daughter, who recently committed suicide. The mystery itself is okay (and is so far removed from the original story as to be barely recognizable), but the gothic horror trappings seem misplaced (more Conan Doyle than Christie), Michelle Yeoh is completely wasted, some of the supporting cast is distractingly awful (like Kyle Allen as the dead girl's former fiancée), and Branagh remains wholly unconvincing as Poirot. Significantly better than its two predecessors, but that's no great achievement unless you just want to stare at the scenery, and any time you start thinking it's really not so bad, Tina Fey wanders back in to set your nerves on edge.

Why Branagh and screenwriter Michael Green are so determined to make Hercule Poirot into a bad pastiche of Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey is a bigger mystery than the plots of any of these movies, but I wish they'd cut it out — or at least turn their attention in some other direction. At that, Branagh would probably make a decent Peter Wimsey: He's the right age and temperament, and Lord Peter (who IS a haunted, more-or-less hetero WW1 veteran) seems much more in line with Branagh's predilections than Poirot.

This necklace has been used at least eight times over the years. It was first seen in the 1974 adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express, where Jaqueline Bisset wore it as Countess Andrenyi. In 1979 it appeared on Sarah Jane Curran as Princess Augusta Sophia in The Prince Regent as well as on Clare Higgins as Kitty Bennet in Pride and Prejudice. It was not used again until 1997 when it appeared on Greta Scacchi as Juliana in The Serpent’s Kiss. In 2005 it was seen on the BBC production Beethoven, worn by Holly Radford as Eleonore Wegeler, and in 2007 it appeared in Love in the Time of Cholera adorning the neck of Giovanna Mezzogiorno as Fermina. In 2009 it was recycled by Laura Pyper as Jane Fairfax in Emma, and finally in 2022 it was spotted being worn by Gwendoline Christie as Principal Larissa Weems in Wednesday.

Question #18

@wirepaladin asked...

18, please. Movie posters used to be amazing and now they seem to be an after thought for studios.

"18. What film do you think has the coolest poster?"

This is an interesting one for me because I admit I don't usually pay much attention to posters. But you're right, even I can tell they're not what they used to be.

I've always liked the 1974 Murder on the Orient Express poster, with the train on the handle of the dagger and the cast surrounding it. I used to have a copy of the book with this on the cover.

And then Death on the Nile followed a similar pattern in 1978, with the cheeky addition of the Egyptian figure holding a pistol.

Another one that deserves mention is the poster for Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). A friend of mine has a framed print of this one. Not only is it a striking design visually, but it does a great job of conveying the feel of the film.
