Last Film You Watched

I like westerns. Never seen that film. Just a quick query: did you add mustard to the cheese sauce?

Love a touch of mustard ha.

Pretty standard sauce, butter and flour to roux the but I fried a bit of garlic in the butter before adding the flour. Then just milk, cheese, pinch of mustard and a bit of nutmeg.

I only had the powdered English mustard though which is fine for lots of things but I think it's a bit raw in sauces and you get a better flavour using the normal one from the jar.

Or to answer your question. Yes, yes I did.
 
2001 A Space Odyssey
Watched as part of my ‘top 100 films before I die’ project.
Now I’m not really into sci fi or space travel but have to say, this was the biggest pile of steaming [Poor language removed] I’ve ever watched. Long and mind numbingly boring. May have been ‘state of the art’ in 1968 but it was awful and weird.
Only saving grace was Strauss’s Blue Danube played throughout 1/10
 
Watched The Masque of the Red Death again, this is the best of all the Edgar Allan Poe film adaptations I've seen.
Vincent Price, perfect for the role and the colours of the dresses ...etc the girls wear at the ball especially look great.
I've never read the book so no idea if the story is the same.
One of Cormans best, top 60s horror, highly recommended if you like that era, hammer...etc

All the "deaths" in robes represented diseases, if they made it now they would need another one for Coronavirus.

Out of interest, what list are you going off?

American Film Institute Top 100. There are loads on there which were probably ground breaking at the time but look crude now. Citizen Kane is no 1, though I wouldn’t put it in my top 500.My rule is that I have to watch it again if I’ve not seen it in the last 15 years or so.Next on the list is The Wizard of Oz


I don’t think I’ll be taking over Barry Normans job anytime soon

Just had a look at that list......it's really heavily skewed towards 1950's/1960's films.

Tough task.

It is. Most of the ones I’ve watched I wouldn’t score more than 6/10. Out of the recent ones I’ve watched, The Apartment and 12 Angry Men were passable.
Also, my wife overheard me telling my daughter. She picked up on the word ‘project’ and thought I was going to paint the fence or re tile the bathroom. She wasn’t too impressed when she founded out it involved watching telly.
