attn user BradNelson (u are the best)

Brad, have you seen TOPKAPI (1964)? I just watched it maybe a month ago and it is perhaps one of the most "you" movies I have ever seen.

Do you have thoughts on the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE series and if so what is your ranking of the films?

What is your favorite music you've discovered (new or old) in the last few months?

Quite right

i have never even heard of topkapi????

i have many thoughts about the mission: impossible series, they're prob littered across this board. ranking as of 2022:

4/1 (tie)
2
5
3

still haven't seen fallout, not sure what i'm doing with my time instead

beauty in the beast by wendy carlos is prob the most recent new-to-me album that knocked me out

also hi everyone you're all very nice

Topkapi is on Prime (https://www.amazon.com/Topkapi-Melina-Mercouri/dp/B086RH9XMQ/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=topkapi&qid=1646948183&sr=8-1), it is a heist film from 1964 and honestly the less you know the better but I think you are REALLY going to love it, but if you need convincing here is the first 5 minutes

idk why but I started watching all the MI films and so far I've only made it thru 1 and 2, both of which I've seen before, and they're so... ridiculous in ways that are probably terrible to most people but I was like "I bet these two are Brad's favorite"

the thread title that had to be made

Just saw Ustinov in Death on the Nile. Await responses.

urgently want to see Fallout on 35 w/ user BradNelson

big fan of brad big fan of brads tastes big issues with that ranking but brad knows this already iirc

Thread title tells the truth

Brad's assessments are so enthusiastic that when I disagree the suspicion lingers that I'm probably wrong

i haven’t been capable of watching movies that aren’t directed by albert pyun but those first few minutes of topkapi are def my kind of sensory overload. will make it a priority

saw another VBM (a Very Brad Movie) this weekend, this one was Ken Russel's batshit musical THE BOY FRIEND (1971) starring Twiggy, it's a weird adaptation of a musical from 1954 but instead of just adapting the musical it's a movie abt this theater company that is performing the musical and the film basically runs over the course of a single performance and the performance is SO BAD, hilariously bad, also there are lots of surreal dream sequences and some great tap dancing, also there is Twiggy

I want to read more about "BradNelson's Comments On The Mission: Impossible Series"

lol I would legit kickstart a "BradNelson's Comments On The Mission: Impossible Series" zine

I love that time, consensus, and Brad are all coming around to reflect the wise conclusion that MI:1 is one of if not the best of the series...

for the Vanessa Redgrave scene alone!

That cast is fire

bradnelson do you like Trash Can Sinatras, specifically their 1993 album I’ve seen everything?

The other night I was attending Judas Priest while wearing a Carly Rae Jepsen black longsleeve shirt and I felt it was a Brad aesthetic moment.

brad wd u consider starting a restaurant review blog and calling it NOTES ON A CONDITIONAL FORK y/n?

this post brought to you by the greatest typo I have ever made in my life

brad, you were right, IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS was incredible and I can't believe I waited so long to watch it (also STAGEFRIGHT, so good!!)

if you have not seen it yet, may I take this moment to recommend EVIL DEAD TRAP (1988), which is m/l a very Japanese take on Argento? don't read anything abt it, just watch it
