The best ‘bad’ film – ever
Well, there we have it, ladies and germs – Picturenose reaches its 300th post. As ever, when these milestones occur, a big thank you is due to all our visitors and contributors, old and new. And, to mark this auspicious occasion, what better opportunity for me to finally present my defence of the film that, officially, nobody liked except the audiences and me. I have been forced to explain my fondness for this a number of times to a number of accusors (and you know who you are) so here, for posterity, is why The Bodyguard (1992) simply ain’t as bad as many say. I thank you…

Picturenose’s very own James Drew talks to legendary boundary-pusher Ken Russell about his most controversial film, The Devils, and joins the growing clamour (and petition) for a speedy DVD release.
An assault on the senses and emotions, Ken Russell’s The Devils (1971), is possibly the most controversial and devastating film ever unleashed on mainstream cinema audiences. The director’s cut, with some eight minutes finally restored, received its first international public screenings at the Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Film (BIFFF) in 2006. A DVD release was promised for later that year by Warner Bros. So, what’s happened, guys?
