Yes please. Actually, John Coltrane’s spiritual stuff was my favourite out of all that I have heard so far, so I would say that I’m probably a 60s “New Thing” enthusiast more than a bop fan. Although, I do like Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.

This is exciting. Thank you. When I come across artists I have never heard of before, I feel like the world is opening up to me more than it did before.
I will get back to you in about 5 calendar years with my thoughts!

Facts. Zulawski is, manifestly, a fraud. To abuse Sam Neill and Isabella Janny like that, in order to get a performance out of them, just shows his lack of talent as a director; I would say their best performances are in other films. Sam Neill even gave a better crazy guy performance in Event Horizon, which of course means that Paul W.S. Anderson is a better director of actors than Zulawski. Of course, directing actors is not the entire remit of a director’s job, but he hardly seems to do anything else well either beyond pure shock-jock value making his actors really hit each other and birthing live babies on camera. And his shock shtick is not even exciting, he somehow manages to make this boring too. The only thing I can commend him for is telling his directors of photography to take some good tracking shots for him.
I strongly dislike him….

The Ishiro Honda cycle of Godzilla movies (my favourite being Invasion of Astro-Monster), The Day the Earth Stood Still, Them!, and, if you like John Carpenter and want to see one of his chief inspirations, the Quatermass series by Hammer, though if you only have time for 1, then Quatermass and the Pit, which specifically was drawn upon for his movie Prince of Darkness… and a lot of people, it’s weird, think they’re too culturally familiar with Planet of the Apes so they don’t bother watching it, but it’s a really good film so if you haven’t yet you should.
