Cook vs Cozen, 2005.

6-3 6-7 (4-7).

I Picked up an injury midway and let him off the hook.
He turned it on when he needed to and I faded, from 5-4 matchpoint.

Can't wait till next year!

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 6 August 2005 13:09 (twenty years ago)

Thanks for the fluff, dahlin. I never did work out whether you meant to give it to me or I just stole it. Too late now, anyway!

It is a sunny day and I am feeling it.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 8 August 2005 14:57 (twenty years ago)

Well done you! Hope you can now get lots of high quality relaxing time.

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 8 August 2005 15:00 (twenty years ago)

Nobody relaxes on my watch.

I'm going to be of my UGC card again tonight I think, by seeing the one-off showing of The Wicker Man. Does anyone fancying joining me for the Britt Ekland shuffle?

By the way, this thread now takes ages to load, 20 Messages shown or not. I am worried it is breaking ILX and would be happy to call it a day.

RJG in wanting to b r e a k ilx shocker!

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 18:26 (twenty years ago)

oh crap, just a one-off showing? we were just talking the other day about how topp that film is.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 19:13 (twenty years ago)

I'm not sure it is top. The tone never really does it for me. It's all too stagy, clumsily cut and the music just doesn't work as a soundtrack to creepiness. Or is it not supposed to be creepy? Scary? Matter of fact paean to paganism? I dunno.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 20:38 (twenty years ago)

The ending is the most upsetting thing to ever happen in a horror movie.

― jeffrey (johnson), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 20:39 (twenty years ago)

Why am I not upset by it at all? I'm not a heartless man.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 20:41 (twenty years ago)

The defence on The Wicker Man - C/D? I find most convincing is Momus's.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 20:50 (twenty years ago)

i saw it when i was young and the image is burned onto my eyes maybe the reason. The only other thing i've seen where you have to sit and watch someone in agony for what seems like an hour is audition. That is also a v. upsetting thing to watch.

― jeffrey (johnson), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 21:26 (twenty years ago)

Audition is horrific, yes.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 21:29 (twenty years ago)

Deathwatch is on at the GFT again this month. I don't like Wickerman or find it scary.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 00:48 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I thought you meant *The* Conference.

Apparently Burton's new ground is very nice.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 06:50 (twenty years ago)

deathwatch is the glasgow-harvey keitel-harry dean stanton one that there were stills from somewhere online.

I would like to see that!

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 09:10 (twenty years ago)

Bertrand Tavernier. I have done a book about this. He thought Glasgow looked like how things would look in the future, ie falling down and crumbling. Also stars the woman from Remy Schneider or whatever her name is, who died not long after, I think. My memory is not what it used to be. But I would like to see the film, yes.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 09:14 (twenty years ago)

I´ve got a book ("Cinematic cities/landscapes" might be the title, is that right? My memory is not waht it used to be either...) where I remember reading that quote about Glasgow, but I haven´t got through all the essays it compiles carefully. Did you work at this project?

― olenska, Wednesday, 10 August 2005 11:36 (twenty years ago)

No, it was a book about Tavernier, for the San Sebastian Film Festival Tavernier retrospective. My first ever book, in fact. I was just the translator, mind.

somewhere in the dark history of this thread in fact.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 12:13 (twenty years ago)

so "deathwatch" is "la mort en directe"? Took me a while to realize...don´t know memory but neither my Eng/French are what they used to b

― olenska, Wednesday, 10 August 2005 12:31 (twenty years ago)

hiya!

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 14:28 (twenty years ago)

Glasgow is giving blood tomorrow, after 5, if anyone would like to join the party.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

I gave on THE BLOOD BUS not so long ago, but maybe it was longer ago than I think.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

What do you call a bulgarian car thief..???

Ramavandoonaditch....

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 11 August 2005 21:53 (twenty years ago)

I thought they turned you down last time, N?

The wouldn't let the wee yin donate, anyway :( Although apparently the nurses thought she had "a lovely wee figure".

Meanwhile, The Bear's stuff was pure flyin' oot, whereas mine took a more cautious approach to the whole business (I could almost hear it saying "Are you SURE you can afford to lose me?").

Afterwards, we went to the pub without dinner. This didn't turn out as bad as you'd think.

― Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 12 August 2005 09:03 (twenty years ago)

You don't know how bad I'd think.
