Cultural Improvements for the masses. Very occasional film events, quiz wrangling, poorly written books and more.

Confining your interest in cinema to the time you’ve been alive and in the language that you speak is spiritual deprivation

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (John Schlesinger, 1968)

Scientists cure a futuristic gang member of his predilection for β€œultraviolence” - at the cost of his free will. The Rolling Stones star in this dystopian satire, along with Anita Pallenberg, Ronnie Corbett, Derek Nimmo, and Paulene Stone.

the movie poster for Midsommar with the young woman wearing a floral laurel around her head and crying is replaced by the face of Ernest P. Worrell from the Ernest movies making one of his trademark contorted expressions with one eye pointing inward and one looking at the camera and his mouth twisted into an O-face with an Elvis lip curl. The poster says "Ernest Goes to Midsommar" in the comic sans-esque "Ernest goes to" font in red with a yellow drop shadow and the original serif "Midsommar" font in a weathered off-white

MOTOR CITIES (Syd Mead, 1977)

This experimental cartoon proved to be a surprise art house success. A visual tone poem, containing neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration, examines the importance of cars to the modern American psyche and society.

I'm starting to notice a pattern with Nick 'Nothing to do with me guv' Clegg as he looks up from counting his piles of money to share some wisdom with the little people.

In summation E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is still a good movie and I would not mind seeing a sequel set in the present day where E.T. comes back to visit adult Elliot and it’s called Elliott The Terrestrial

"Rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge" is the kind of shit that someone in an old James Bond film would say, followed by Sean Connery sipping a Martini and remarking "He's quite mad you know" before tipping them into a volcano half an hour later.

A four panel meme, featuring John Connor talking to The Terminator, from Terminator 2 

John: Wait a second, you’re saying you’re from the future?

Terminator: Great question! Thanks so much for asking. Let’s think about the answer…hmm! The current year is 1983. Working backwards logically, I’m from the year 1965, which is 300 years in the future. Anything else you’d like to know?

John - stares blankly

Terminator: I’m sorry, I can see that was not the right answer. I actually came from the year 829392 AD, which is 10 years in the past from this year, which is 3
