A couple of years I went to the Storyhouse to see a showing of the 1922 silent version of Nosferatu complete with a live musical score. One famous scene had Max Schreck climbing slowly out of a ship’s hold and this stands up to this day as one of cinema’s famous horror moment. The 2024 Roger Egger’s version pays homage to the original by presenting some amazing visual set pieces and truly impressive cinematic moments but by the end of 160 minutes I was praying for someone to dispatch a rather disgusting looking monster quick stix!!!
It just wasn’t very scary
I had a Phad Thai as a treat afterwards
I will leave you with another fine blast of the lisping choir, I was there watching from the back row
I'm not one for scary films so will give even the recent less than scary one a miss.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days that I hope is soonish, I will try Phad Thai as so many friends and family love it.
The Lisping Choir, their conductor, and the musicians are always a treat. Ta, John!
Hugs!
You are always so sweet babs
DeleteI've been to Thailand twice and eaten Pad Thai
ReplyDeletein cafes and street markets where it's beyond compare 😋 xx
I love the pad Thai in Chester market, but couldn’t vouch for its authenticity , it’s bloody lovely though
DeleteI've only seen the boat scene you mention and the shadow climbing the stairs. Those were scary enough. The pad Thai looks delicious. I'll look to see if there's a vegan version. xx
