If Wikipedia is to be believed I was about to turn 10 when I first saw this.

Its got a lot to answer for!

Seeing this and City of Death is an excellent idea – very similar badinage between the characters and a feeling of ‘filmed stage play’.

Seeing Trillian at that age certainly made me feel… something I couldn’t quite articulate; and like…[Read more]

(could’ve sworn I’d posted this before but can’t find it, so hopefully not too repetitious!)
(not sure why that’s not embedding… ah well.)

oh and Puro you know I’m kidding.
I watched England lose the rugby too!

🙂

Well @AmyPond11 – its a bonkers theory so you’re in the right place!

There’s also the Rory-Auton-Master connection…

@Rob – as you’re the one walking, shouldn’t you be “Broadsword”?
Or has that been taken?

“Broadsword calling Danny Boy, come in Danny Boy.

We need transport, over”

Good luck!

some nice stuff above (always great to hear those Wyatt’s) and @Craig that track from the Modern Lovers is a new one on me (as is most of their stuff except Roadrunner). really really liked it.

Now then, I’ve been to the Rose & Crown and a great choon on the jukebox there (always thought this was the jukebox! 😉 ) but realised that all the…[Read more]

erm @purofilion – oops, apologies.

I’m sure that I had a point/joke in mind with that Cezanne/Gogh/Who reference, but re-reading my post doesn’t remind me what I was on about and just shows me never to post whilst distracted*.

ah well….

(* booze)

agree that the tone is silly-sixth-form-intelligent-smirking

BUT

I watch and giggle the whole way through.

So that makes me shallow [check] and not wanting Doctor Who to be serious all the time [check] and erm…. ah whatever.

Did I mention it made me giggle all the way through?

No eyebrows? Damn those restorations!

[and if only they’d…[Read more]

btw @wolfweed – a while back you linked to (the excellant) The Sandman animation and I wanted to say that I remember seeing it along with several other brilliant animations as part of a “Best of British festival” back in 1994? possibly at the ICA?

There was one animation that I now can’t find (lots of candy-striped tentacles spring to mind) but…[Read more]

Bugger.

I have fond memories of trying to watch The Young Ones with the sound very very low as it was on BBC2 at 9pm while the BBC1 News was on.
If my dad woke up he’d hear the ‘stupidity’ of The Young Ones and simply turn over for the news (and fall asleep again).

Rik is simply too young to die.

@Phaseshift – completely agree that there are many overlaps between the creative worlds of 2000AD and Who (Moore and Gibbons spring to mind), but for the Judoon I thought there was more than a passing resemblance to the Gamorrean Guards:

While searching for a pic of that guard from Star Wars I couldn’t decide whether to post the one above or…[Read more]

Sorry for moaning my first world problem, but no-one here to get any sympathy from (so yours is very much appreciated).

So, after restoring my old backup of music, I spent an hour or two looking at iTunes and my shelves of CDs to work out what was missing.

~300.

~300 CDs. Now in piles next to the laptop. And its taking roughly 10mins a rip onto…[Read more]

[sigh]

I had to clean up my computer today (too full apparently) and thought I’d delete a folder of music as it was a duplicate and I had it backed up.

yep.

I ended up deleting all the music off me hard drive.

“Oh, but a sane man like you will have a backup” I hear you mumble.

Yes, but old and (seemingly) half the size, so I mustn’t have…[Read more]

Hi @Stormaggeddon – welcome!

And we’re always nice!

:¬)

btw, not sure if anyone saw this (or cares) but James McAvoy was on the Andrew Marr show this morning (Rob was out rusting for various charities so will have missed it).

He chats about why there are still 3D films (‘bumps up the DVD price’) as well as being asked about the Scottish referendum.

For me (a non-Scot) he gave a very cogent…[Read more]
