A brief, baffling and amusing article that compares the language of Leslie Steven's Incubus with that of Shatner's later stellar endeavours in Star Trek and that most ridiculed of languages; Klingon.
Klingon and Esperanto: The Odd Couple

Sneak previews of forthcoming shows
A number of people have recently expressed an interest in knowing which films we're going to be covering in future editions.
Now personally, we are of the 'surprise' persuasion, but at the same time we can fully appreciate that some folks like to have watched the films before we dissect them for the podcast.
To please both parties (and ourselves) we thought we'd set up a mailing list of sorts and then each week we'd email those who want to watch the films that we'll be covering in the upcoming podcast.
So if you'd like to be in 'the know' about the next show(s) simply email us at midnightvideo@hotmail.co.uk and write 'future films forecast' in the title.

Midnight Video 6
Just in time for the weekend. Another slice of film review pie to go with your 'black as the sky on a moonless night' coffee.
This week we don our cowls and dust off our Esperanto phrase books for Incubus before heading to The Atomic Cafe for a mid 20th century nuclear snack, and then we fast forward to the 21st century for the 2000ADesque Split Second.
You know the drill. Right click on the post's title to download or subscribe to us via iTunes. And don't forget to keep checking the blog and Facebook for little supplemental nuggets.

Discarded dream sequence from Flavia the Heretic?
Florinda Bolkan interprets Perspex
Not sure what the point of that little performance was, but it's always interesting to see what the female exploitation stars of the 70s were doing before they were being tortured, raped and murdered in gialli, nunsploitation, zombie, etc. flicks.

The Man from Hungary
I managed to unearth this particularly insightful interview with Béla Tarr who is being quizzed about his methods and motivations for the wonderfully somniferous (my opinion) and unintentionally hilarious (Jim's opinion); The Man from London.
