@phaseshift It’s strange that New Order, which was pretty much Joy Division minus one member, sounded like a completely different band. I guess Ian brought something that they couldn’t recapture after he died.
BTW have you read Peter Hook’s book, there’s quite a bit of information about Joy Division.22 May 2014 at 12:53 #27669@phaseshift
I love Joy Division
21 May 2014 at 16:52 #27654@blenkinsopthebrave South Park Bigger, Longer and Uncut is actually my favourite musical.
21 May 2014 at 06:32 #27650Here’s one of the greatest musical numbers of all time
And here’s the song it’s parodying
We’ve done songs with the same title here’s two songs with the same riff
18 May 2014 at 18:52 #27613I wish that when a character states at the beginning of a story that they are going to die, they would actually die, particularly if they’re just going to be brought back in the most stupid way possible.
The whole Daleks vs Cybermen battle is awesome, until you realise it’s the parallel earth Cybermen and you get really angry, yelling at the screen “what were they thinking?”
Also has anyone noticed that the Doctor and Rose have been acting really obnoxious the past few episodes? he does get a bit p***ed off at her towards the end of Doomsday for this but that just shows how inconsistent the 10th Doctor is written. Why are they supposed to be in love any way. I don’t have a problem with him having romantic feelings for a companion but shouldn’t it be someone he’s got more in common with than Rose? you know, someone like Romana or Liz Shaw. Not that he shouldn’t care for her or see her as a friend, but I don’t think he should be in love with her.
17 May 2014 at 20:03 #27574Well I watched Godzilla, and I liked it. There have been some complaints that Godzilla is hardly in the film. Firstly these people haven’t watched any of the other Godzilla films, if they had they would know he’s hardly in those either. Secondly, they do not understand the concept of building suspense. For example you hardly see the shark in Jaws until the end, meaning that when you do see the shark it has more impact than if it had been show right at the start. Obviously Jaws is a better film than this but the same basic principle applies, meaning that when Gojira was shown onscreen in full it was a very membrable moment, for me at least.
16 May 2014 at 19:02 #27546@blenkinsopthebrave if your wondering it’s from Invasion of the Astro Monster.
16 May 2014 at 18:09 #27544Going to see Godzilla tomorrow!!
15 May 2014 at 07:21 #27530@purofilion Actually the two Up the Junction songs are somewhat related. The Waterman film was based on a book, which was also adapted as a BBC play by Ken Loach, which is what inspired Squeeze to write their song.
14 May 2014 at 21:08 #27523Here’s two more
14 May 2014 at 16:49 #27512Here’s two diffrent songs that have the same title
13 May 2014 at 05:56 #27490@blenkinsopthebrave are you being sarcastic?
12 May 2014 at 23:03 #27484Here’s the rejected theme for the James Bond film The Man With the Golden Gun by Alice Cooper. I can see why they picked Lulu’s, this doesn’t sound anything like a Bond theme.
12 May 2014 at 22:56 #27483@fatmaninabox Well certainly was interesting. I’ve never heard of him before, but your post has gotten me interested.
10 May 2014 at 18:57 #27450Here’s the cover to the American version of the novelisation, which seems to be suggesting that the story features an appearance by King Kong.
10 May 2014 at 12:47 #27443I think this may be my 5th favourite Pertwee behind Inferno, Spearhead from Space, Time Warrior and Carnival of Monsters. I like stories where his Doctor gets a chance to go to places outside of present day earth. Nothing wrong with the Earth-bound stories, it’s just that there’s far too many of them for my liking. At least the Pertwee era has an excuse for him to hang around present day Earth unlike nu-who (can I call it that or do I have to say AG?)
10 May 2014 at 12:36 #27440I’ve already posted my thoughts on this episode on another forum so I will just post a link.
10 May 2014 at 11:03 #27424@purofilion Are you talking about Common People? I’m surprised you haven’t heard of it. Here in Britain the original version by Pulp is considered a classic, although Shatners is more well known in the US.
10 May 2014 at 06:43 #27421I know someone already posted The Shat’s cover of Common People but this is one of the best fan videos ever.
But for the sake of originality, here’s a song that hasn’t already been posted
4 May 2014 at 19:39 #27357@phaseshift Sorry my mistake, Love and Monsters is next.
4 May 2014 at 15:24 #27350@phaseshift
I believe the Cyberman 2 parter comes next.4 May 2014 at 08:14 #27345As it’s May the 4th, here’s the main theme from Star Wars preformed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
I found it on a CD that came with a newspaper many moons ago.4 May 2014 at 05:28 #27344@phaseshift
I don’t see the problem either. He wasn’t using the word in a derogatory manner, he was singing a well known nursery rhyme. He didn’t even say it he mumbled it. Secondly, the footage wasn’t even broadcast so it’s not breaking any broadcasting rules. Thirdy, like you and @bluesqueakpip said, he’s putting on a character. Why do people not understand this.3 May 2014 at 20:06 #27327@phaseshift I vote for Inferno.
3 May 2014 at 16:22 #27322I really hated Rose in this. Dozens of people are killed throughout the episode and all she cares about is weather or not she wins a bet. She ruins an otherwise decent episode.
Fun fact: Pauline Collins, the actress who plays Queen Victoria, also played Samantha Briggs in The Faceless Ones back in 1967. She was offered the chance to continue playing the character as a companion but she declined.

Thanks, I’ve always liked Brosnan as an actor (although I find his bond a bit bland). I actually just watched Long Good Friday for the first time today, eerily I bought my copy on Tuesday, the day Bob Hoskins died.1 May 2014 at 18:08 #272861 May 2014 at 16:30 #27283This song was nominated for an Oscar (warning there is some swearing)
1 May 2014 at 06:18 #27280I know that he regretted making it but I always Loved Bob in Super Mario Brothers.
29 April 2014 at 05:48 #27247Here’s a parody of electronic synth music before electronic synth music was even invented.
28 April 2014 at 10:40 #27233I first discovered this band after hearing this song in the Alan Partridge film. Their fast becoming one of my favourites.
28 April 2014 at 09:34 #27231@scaryb You’re right, in fact Ray Davies had to fly back to England in the middle of an American tour just to change that one line. The same thing happened again to the song Apeman because when he sang “a-foggin’ up my eyes” it sound like something else.
Btw, they didn’t change Coca-Cola because it was offensive, they changed it because the BBC wasn’t allowed to advertise products.
28 April 2014 at 07:15 #27228@purofilion I actually was a bit of a closet ABBA fan because I was afraid that people might think I was gay if they knew, not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just that at school some people assumed I was when I’m not and I didn’t want to give them more wood to throw on the fire. Then I realised there’s nothing gay about liking a band fronted by two attractive women.
Anyway here’s a song about a transvestite
28 April 2014 at 05:52 #27225@purofilion Who doesn’t like ABBA.
27 April 2014 at 08:37 #27212I have to admit, this one is a bit of a guilty pleasure. I know it’s bad but I can’t help but enjoy it. It’s all the things wrong with RTD2’s era put together to form a masterpiece of glorious stupidity.
You may be thinking how I can like this yet complain about episodes such as Aliens of London being stupid, well the difference is this episode made me laugh. For example I find the scenes Cassandra impersonating Rose and The Doctor hilarious. You can tell that Billie and David are really enjoying camping it up.
I dislike the ending though, it doesn’t really fit with the tone of the rest of the episode. It’s like RTD2 is saying “all right kiddies, for the first 40 minutes we’re going to have campy fun, but in the last 5 I’m going to teach you an important lesson about death being a natural part of life”. Yes, that is an important lesson for kids to learn, but considering what came before it, it feels really jarring.Anyway, I still enjoy this episode no matter what anyone else thinks.
26 April 2014 at 08:44 #27170I don’t think a lot of you will have heard of this one. It’s Mother Sky by German band Can, used to great effect in a film called Deep End
25 April 2014 at 18:33 #27162Here’s a classic I fondly remember from my childhood, a cartoon about a man trying to pull women.
24 April 2014 at 05:27 #27140I’ve decided to put up one of my personal favourites. I chose this video in particular because it also serves as a tribute to my favourite actor.
22 April 2014 at 05:21 #27108One of Morricone’s lesser known soundtracks (mainly because most people don’t realise it’s him)
21 April 2014 at 20:05 #2709621 April 2014 at 19:59 #27095@blenkinsopthebrave I do love a bit of Clint.
21 April 2014 at 19:09 #27093@blenkinsopthebrave Guilty pleasure? It’s one of the greatest films of all time.
21 April 2014 at 10:02 #27073@whisht Being a big Hitchcock fan I love Herrman too.
I wasn’t really that impressed with …in America (aside from the music that is), but I adore …in the West.
21 April 2014 at 08:54 #27071A chicken and an egg are lying in bed together, the chicken turns to the egg and says “I guess we’ve finally worked out who came first”
21 April 2014 at 07:05 #27069Here’s another great cover. Well technically the Big-O was the first person to record the song, but his version wasn’t released until after Cyndi Lauper released hers.
20 April 2014 at 17:42 #27045Lalo Schifrin is another one of my favourite film composers. His work on Dirty Harry is fantastic especially this track.
20 April 2014 at 14:07 #27043Here’s a beautiful cover of Yesterday by Ennio Morrocone from the soundtrack to Once Upon a time in America
The song doesn’t start till about 1:38
20 April 2014 at 11:28 #27034@phaseshift It’s a shame that the version of Song for 10 on the soundtrack album is a diffrent version.
