Wicker Man freebie

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I have the movie (taped off the telly) on VHS, and while I like its 'Hammer Horror' quaintness, I really don't see the fascination with it.
Some parts are pretty embarassing (Woodward, Pitt and Eckland's accents, to begin with).
Rowan's song and the nice 'booty double' with a hint of blonde minge was very nice. :D
The rest, I'm still not sure about. I can't/don't see the attraction.
I will still buy The Grauniad for it, Hell! I pay near five quid for a packet of fags everyday :oops:

please enlighten me Steven, BTW do you have the BBC Scotland XS programme about it?
I do but its on a somewhat slightly damaged VHS tape, it still plays fine and you can see and hear all that's going on, but it has a bit of a left to right 'video interference thin line' in the middle of the screen.

I've got the nice double disc DVD of TWM... paid £17.99 for it about a year ago.

Bloody £5.99 on Play.com now. :evil: :roll:

I just think it's a really intelligent film that defies categorisation - 'Horror' movie my arse.

I did watch the XS programme, I think, but didn't record it as far as I can recall.

Don't give a stuff about Eckland's stunt-arse; not when it's got Christopher Lee and Callan in it :notworthy: :notworthy:

S'definitely not yer average horror flick though. If anything, I reckon it's related to The League of Gentlemen somewhere along the line.

and I'll probably buy the Grauniad for it anyway, despite buying the film on double DVD already :roll: :lol:
