||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Have you checked out Angel, the follow-up/spin-off? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
time team is great, cos you can put it on watch the first 5 minutes turn around and when uts finishing see tony robinson holding a small slither of glass or a fragment of pottery and go "well maybe the vikings werent here after all" |
||||||||

|

echo-cho the first two posts watched the two Burton Batmen in the bath in the last the fortnight (not completely, or constantly) Feel kinda guilty that I couldve watched something a bit more interesting but it turns out I hadn't seen either all the way through... i think they're better than the new ones |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not seen Angel.... Firefly is p good too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, and My So Called Life |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That bit with Nicholson chucking out dollars with the Prince track being posted as the Trump innauguration was fucking funny... that scene is soo funky shonky |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i meant to type 'fucking shonky' but i guess i was thinking about the Prince track |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah the partyman one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you mean this scene or another one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
different scene.. i like how he stops at the Bacon screaming pope in that one tho... when he's on the float, toward the end |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i havent seen it in many years so thats why i cant remember much about it, doesnt the sequel have tommy lee jones and danny devito in it, i think i remember that one a bit more |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Firefly is pretty good! Obligatory comment discussing its truncated form, given the cancellation of the show. Did you ever watch the film, Serenity? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I tell you what I do (sidestepping this Firefly horseshit), I listen to "old-time" American radio sci-fi/horror shows on YouTube like X-Minus One orBoris Karloff - Tales of Mystery & Imagination, and I'm asleep within 3 minutes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

maybe something like The Office or Extras. Fawlty Towers or Alan Partridge. Curb your enthusiasm. Seinfeld. These shows take me to my safe place. Movie-wise - just about anything from Wes Anderson, I suppose. Else, something with Peter Sellers. Dr Strangelove, The Party, or the original Pink Panther. I LOVE the original Pink Panther. Or any Pink Panthers for that matter*. 'Clue', with Tim Curry. I must have seen it a 100 times. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i want to see clue, ive never seen it before |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure, watch it. At the very least you would think it's ok. I can't imagine anyone not liking it. Christopher Lloyd is also in it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it deffo looks like something i would like i watched the trailer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Clue's great, I forgot about that, must get that to watch as I have got my son into playing the game (he always wins, the jammy sod. He dicks about like he's not paying attention and the BAM! solves it (I think he looks at everyone else's cards)) Last week I watched an episode of Fawlty Towers for the first time in years (The Hotel Inspectors). There's a lovely interview with Peter Sellers and Michael Parkinson which you've probably seen, if you can get through the first minute where he's a comedy Nazi A REALLY good interview is Clive James with Peter Cook and Barry Humphries |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I loved Clue as a kid. My sister and I watched it together. It's our movie. We never get tired of quoting it to one another. Especially (BIG SPOILER) “flames.. on the side of my face…. heaving breaths” cheers for the linkage, don’t particularly remember that Parkinson interview but my memory is terrible, watched it thank u *also forgot to mention The Larry Sanders Show. I haven’t had my series escape lately, so I think I may go for a TLS watch-through number 3, or 4 in the coming weeks. |
||||||||

|

the Peter Cook interview is actually very good and insightful. I want to say 'educational'. Look at him smoke like that. I have The Secret Policeman's ball on VHS in the cupboard (along with some Only Fools and Horses, RD). Thanks to my dad. |

Good thread, people. I agree wit most that has been said. I really fancy watching all of AP again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes good thread, its not a tv program, but listening to the radio version of hitch hikers guide to the galaxy alwasy relaxes me, i like the tv version as well, i should read the books again when i get a decent copy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Watched an episode of have I got news for you with Peter Cook and Douglas Adams as the guests. Two legends that left too soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes i was watching a Douglas Adams docu on sunday and i was thinking the same thing, he always seemed to look in his late 40s throughout his life it was odd, i wish he wasnt dead, im sure he had alot to offer in one way or another, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He clearly offered a lot. They both did. It felt weird seeing them on the same show, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes we are just left with wankers like jeff brazier or whatever his name is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who's that then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you dont wish to know! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Douglas Adams wrote a text adventure called bureaucracy for infocom i will probably play that sometime over the summer, also got to read the second dirk gentley book |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
any good books or movies you have experienced recently? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The Arrival was a good recent movie. Been reading Alan Moore's Jerusalem for a while. It's great. Also been reading his collab with his now wife Melinda Gebbie: Lost Girls. Saw Sex Tape on the box with the missus and we actually had a good laugh. With mrs Dust it tends to be romantic comedies that work well, she's not a huge film buff. Bridesmaids is my fave mrs Dust movie. Watching loads of Only fools and horses. Will go through Alan Partdidge again soon. Still in the midst of reading The Sandman by Neil Gayman. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah Arrival! slightly predictable maybe but we can't afford to be picky when it comes to PROPER sci-fi films in the mainstream these days.. good soundtrack too, good to hear Johann getting some $$$s |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't Jerusalem like 6 inches thick : ) ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Some TV/films that I've played on loop at one time or another: Black Books The Mighty Boosh Home Movies The Office (UK) Extras Tron Legacy Zoolander I still like to watch Home Movies (the Brendon Small cartoon) regularly. I just put on a few hours worth and play guitar or work on circuits or clean or eat. It's a great show. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
weirdly funny 60's thing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice one, i should like to read some Alan Moore, I like Only Fools and horses as well, especially before Cassandra and Raquel when it became a bit more predictable. I love the episode where Rodney is learning how to use a word processor on an amstrad or something i just finished a book called the difference engine by William Gibson & Bruce Sterling, its about the idea that they managed to construct Charles Babbage's clockwork computers in the early 19th century, thus history took a completely difference course and the Victorians used steam powered, clockwork computing engines to build a surveillance states. Its quite a good book, sort disappointing ending, but i enjoyed it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes this is what i thought about Arrival too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember that puppet, lord Charles but i cant remember where |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah it's massive. It got the three book version, which I think suits it best. |
