Death and the Compass (1992/1996) A film by Alex Cox (Repo Man). Originally a 55 minute drama shown on the BBC and later released as a film with extra scenes. A little bit thriller, a little bit SciFi, and a little bit made up as they went along with a budget to match. Based on a short story by Jorge Luis Borges. Features an early role for Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who No 9).

Death Day (Out of the Unknown). Adam Cross does a crime, and invents a culprit he can blame it on when the filth come calling… things get tricky when this imaginary character pays him a visit.

Blackeyes Ep1. After the success of The Singing Detective and Christabel, Dennis Potter wrote, directed, and narrated this series that earned him the nickname ‘TVs Mr Filth’ (among others). “The story revolves around the fictional character of ‘Blackeyes’ (Gina Bellman), a sexually exploited model who has been dreamed up by an ageing author who happens to be the original dirty old man.” But what if the ageing author is a fiction as well? Eh? Ehh?

..Ehh?

21:10

The World According to Garp (1982). Hurry, finally something like isn’t a copy of a copy of a video recording. This here’s comedy drama based on a book by John Irving, it’s an early lead role Robbin Williams (Mork), and also for Glen Close (The Girl With All the Gifts). No need to be weary folks. This film has been pre-disastered.
