The Quiet Earth (1985)
OneSparePart
Where: at home (wherever that may be)
When: Thursday 30th May 7.45pm

Has anyone seen this film? I haven't seen it for years. I remember how the ending looks but can't recall how we get there. I did like it.

It's a New Zealand film. No famous faces, that I can recall. But interesting...

The answer to your question is yes, lots of people have seen this film.

Honestly, I've said this before but I will say it again: I live in an SF vacuum. Nobody I know likes this stuff. I usually have to wait for my brother's best mate, Perc, to come up on a visit from Nuneaton, to get a chance to geek away.

I have never heard of this film. I'm looking forward to that changing!

Time to get ready for ... who knows what? This is the best bit about Non-B7 Rewatches: they can take you somewhere you've not been, either ever, or for quite a while. Or they show up the difference between the bits you remembered and the bits you thought you'd remembered. And it's especially nice to share all that with friends who might not always agree, but they do understand.

You're sounding very philosophical tonight, M'Boss. On the chill pills again?

I have had the dvd of this for quite some time. I turfed it out when we began this rewatch hoping we would get around to watching it. Which we are tonight. I cannot find the dvd....
Watching online....

Nice to be appreciated, by you of all people. Are you going to Steventon?

No. I am shy about going to these events.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha Shy? You? 'These events' are just a load of rewatchers in person. Still saying mostly the same things, and wondering if the fish & chips van is going to turn up.
But I won't be able to give you your present. Shame.

I know nobody's mentioned this for ages but...why has the clock on horizon never changed. A protest?

It refuses to accept BST. Or possibly nobody's worked out how to change it. Or changing it twice a year is too much effort. Or a combination of the above.

No. It's carefully thought out and sourced and appropriate.

It's not Investigator Reeve, is it??

Glad I'm not the only one. I left it too late this year (I had no money earlier) but I was saying to Ms Virn that I feel really awkward about meeting the cast members.

So Anne's already missed the best bit. That'll teach her.

I've just started, by the way. This'll make a nice change from the tennis. One can have enough Gael Monfils, I think.

He's soon got desperate enough to break a window. Or is that how it is in NZ?
