so i'm getting comfy here, slippers on, Season of the Witch in the background soothing the eyes. bored. top 100 movies eh? gonna rate the shit outta these bean flicks
Whats this! Garth Marenghi's Darkplace in the last fucking place i'd expect to find it. four votes for a cult series seen little in the UK, let alone a sleazy southern cracker run random movie site! & i mean that in the best possible way - made my day muthaf'ukas
so here's a couple more disturbing wierd darkly funny shows:
Jam - Chris Morris is a twisted genius. known primarily for his satire (Day Today, Brass Eye, Four Lions) this is adapted from his late night/early morning ambient sketch show Blue Jam. The listener demographic was insomniacs n returning clubbers & Morris aimed to fuck with thier heads. He eventually got sacked for airing a cut'n'paste edit of the speech given at Princess Diana's funeral, entitled Bishop Slips.
The TV adaptation dubs the original radio vocals over the actors to create a disorientating effect on the viewer. Morris successfully argued that his show be aired without ad breaks, to keep the 'vibe' going. Helped it was around 1am.
Any way enough rambling, here's a TE friendly clip
The League of Gentlemen - another black comedy sketch show, not as risque as Jam, but more accessible n coherant. sorta. Aired on BBC in the 90s, heres a clip featuring my fave character.
sorry shitty quality, but please bear with it
"Tongiht we are going to watch one of my favorite muhoovies."
"Watership Down?"
"No..."
