Show me an illogical plot and I will show you a great movie! As horror films go I guess Wicker Man is one of the most plausible! It's genius lies in its comparison to the remake, you just can't magic atmosphere by making the characters a bit creepy.<br /><br />And if you want implausible plot try Hitchcock. I mean a crop duster! North by Northwest is utterly ridiculous from start to finish, but wonderfully so!<br /><br />As for a Brexit narrative, forget the bullshit about lets come together. For the leavers it is lets all join hands but if your skin is dark you can fuck off, you ain't holding my hand you dirty disease ridden lazy ne'er do well.<br /><br />Leavers can fuck off and die for all I care!Herbie Destroys the Environmentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312853715123370916.post-7348564357923015332017-12-23T17:05:04.118+00:002017-12-23T17:05:04.118+00:00Nice shout out for "Detectorists".
