Rest in Peace Swayze

Wednesday September 16th 2009


Ultra Culture mourns the death of Patrick Swayze. Though he was not the best actor of his generation, iconic roles in movies such as Ghost, Dirty Dancing, Point Break, Road House and The Outsiders ensured that The Swaze can never and will never be forgotten.

Here we take a look at two of his greatest creations: sickening self-help guru Jim Cunningham in Donnie Darko (see from about 0:51 in the first video) and throat-ripping super-bouncer James Dalton in Road House.


Good Point

Wednesday September 16th 2009


Somebody called Max has been in touch and he’s unimpressed with the way things are going on the site at the moment. Here’s what he had to say:

hey, i have noticed a shocking lack of  pictures with \’hilarious\’ captions and/or arrows in large white font dotting your blog. they were an ultraculture staple, and now they arent.

</p>
<p>please correct this.

I’m not sure if he put in the HTML or if there was some cock-up in the sending process but I like to think that it was the former.

Never fear Max, all will be corrected.


Booking tickets for the London Film Festival

Tuesday September 15th 2009


I tried to type this all out but there is quite literally no point so I’ve scanned it in from the programme instead. Quality online journalism at its best, I think you’ll agree.

Twice in one week: send in the cloons.


I haven’t seen any of this week’s releases

Monday September 14th 2009


How the fuck did this happen? I haven’t seen Gamer, 31 North 62 East, The Agent, Away We Go, Birdwatchers, Blind Dating, Chevolution, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The Firm, Je Veux Voir, Three Miles North of Molkom or Wanted.

To be honest, I was only interested in seeing one of those films anyway (no prizes for guessing which one) but I’d have seen any old shit if it avoided making such a mockery of the ‘Opening This Week’ section.

Also worrying: I haven’t seen any of the next three weeks’ worth of releases yet either.


Film Ponce Graffiti

Sunday September 13th 2009


Screenwriter James McLoughlin sent us this picture snapped in the toilets of the BFI Southbank.

Some crafty vandal, possibly after a drink too many at the Benugo Bar, has snuck into the bathroom with a black marker and daubed ‘Nooo! Don’t let the film council eat me!’ on a poster of Ewan McGregor in Trainspotting.

And the award for ponciest piece of graffiti ever goes to…
