"The Last Lovecraft"
« on: March 13, 2012, 03:42:04 PM »
This is my first post so I hope that this is in the right place.

I was having a quick look around 'Poundland' this morning and came across a copy of "The Last Lovecraft" on Dvd and still in it's cellophane for just £1.00.  I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but thought that the info might be of use to you all?

I found it amusing too.  It's intended to be humourous and comical to some degree and is clearly intended for those HPL junkies.  It's worth a look.

Is it as good as "cast a deadly spell"?

I've heard UK visitors over here use the word quid at Disney....quid to them is like how we call money here in the US bucks instead of dollars.

Yes. Very similar I'd say.  Only "Cast a Deadly Spell" gets a bit of a higher mark as far as I'm concerned for it's Pulp Noir flavor and the presence of the lead actor the great Fred Ward (star of Tremors and Remo Williams).

Just to complete the circle...

The English gave Australia the word "quid". We probably held on to it for general use a bit longer.

Where it gets interesting is "euros". Australians tend to know euros as small marsupial macropods (like kangaroos and wallabies). They're very cute.

I think a class action against the EU for stealing our intellectual property (and our euro) is in order.

We'll expect compensation in squidboats of quids.

It is still in common, everyday use here in Blighty.

I only use it due to a lengthy and ongoing obsession with British television.  Had you made your purchase in Canada, I'd say you'd want your loonie back.  As a pound is currently worth $1.55 Canadian, I'd REALLY want my pound back.

I just got round to watching "The Last Lovecraft" and it was well worth my quid/loonie - pretty funny with some good laugh out loud lines.  Not quite as serious as "Dagon" perhaps.

We've just watched it, and found it reasonably amusing, certainly far better than "The Ripper" (Sam West, Michael York, Patrick Bergin, appalling script) that we saw yesterday.
