@whisht I’ll always remember him in this

I think this may be my favourite Eccleston story. It’s either this or the Empty Child. What I like about it is that it’s an interesting take on the Victorian ghost story, in fact it’s one of the few times Doctor Who has tackled the supernatural (as far as I am aware). This is also the first episode I can also remember finding really scary when it…[Read more]

@cathannabel Thank you.

To me it always seemed that for Batman to work on the screen, you needed to heighten that world, make it more dreamlike and for that reason Burton’s snowy wonderland gone to hell idea worked more than Nolan’s Coppola by way of Michael Mann-esque uber-realism.

That’s a problem I have with the Nolan films too @jimthefish, one minute you’re wat…[Read more]

@missy Ah Merlin, one of my favourite guilty pleasures.

@jimthefish @purofilion @craig I don’t mind any of the Batman films, since I grew up with them. While the three Nolan ones are probably the best as films, I enjoy the 1989 one the most because of Keaton and Nicholson. I used to really like Returns too but looking back as an adult I find it very un-Batman like.
I must be the only one who doesn’t…[Read more]

This will only apply to UK viewers, but is anyone else watching Parks and Recreations on Dave?

@purofilion Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to talk about that in the films thread?

Apparently The Kinks recorded an instrumental version of Lola on their album Percy, which was the soundtrack to some bad 1970’s sex comedy. Just thought I would put it here for those curious.

Quite surprised to hear about the passing of Cilla Black today. She was a very talented singer.

@fowl It’s Tiny Tim. I posted his version because one of his songs was in an episode of Spongebob(that was me trying to be clever)
Here’s the original

I’m going to see the film Tommy, based on the rock opera by The Who, at a screening in Whitley Bay which is followed by a Q and A by Roger Daltrey himself. In anticipation of this I thought I would post one of my favourite songs from the album

@fowl God, I remember watching Spongebob when I was younger. Here’s another AC/DC cover with a Spongebob connection (can anyone guess what it is)

As much as I love the design of the 80’s Cybermen, I don’t think they are as creepy as the ones from the 60’s. Mostly because of the voices, I think they sound a bit too human here.

I have been watching the classic 1970’s TV series The Persuaders over the past week. It’s about an English Lord (Roger Moore) and an American business man (Tony Curtis) being tricked by a retired judge into becoming crime fighters. Our inept heroes find themselves stumbling into diffrent situations each episode and having to right wrongs.

I know that some of you don’t think much of Oasis, but I think their first couple of albums have some great songs on them

@phaseshift love AC/DC and Black Sabbath (not a fan of metal though).

I’m not sure if it’s particually well known, but I quite like this AC/DC track from the film Last Action Hero. The music video itself is fun because they actually got Arnie to appear in it.

I adore this series and this song
