Saw them in Sydney before Christmas without RW or JA. they played Fragile and Close to the Edge: full album versions and were pretty close. The keyboards were manned by the guy from the Buggles who did a half decent job and the singer was a guy from a Yes tribute band who was actually more like Jon ...

But in juxtaposition Avon was cast as (in essence) a computer..... people more dispassionate than computers and computers more considerate than people.....

But even counting the computer(s) I think that was only six!

Loved this in the 70's, one of the few programs I went out of my way to watch. There was talk (and you can probably find it on You Tube) of a movie or new episodes: search for the actor who played Avon, Paul Darrow. One thing about it though: Blake was missing for most of the time and I can't ever r...

Yeah sad.... had a brief intro to him at the opening of the Hard Rock at Darling Harbour, Sydney; appeared to be a nice enough bloke and actually knew the name of the sound tech! We covered a couple of these, and whilst I eventually got bored with Am I ever gonna see your face again (No way, Get F*c...

duke was prolly the last actual genesis I bought tho I did like a couple tracks on wind & wuthering. That makes sense, as W&W came out before Duke (W&W was the first album after Peter left), Trick of the Tail was the first album after Gabriel. Have recently been playing a lot of Genesis...

Hashi, Hawkeye was given a subtle nod courtesy of Natasha's choker which is a small silver arrow.

Fantastic cinematography and the science was mostly there, good cast (both of them) but oh for want of a story that was not.....even just a little bit less ludicrous!

Good summation Z...... some parts of the story were really skimpy, especially Beorn which had a lot of lost potential and the dragon chase really suffered from not having the Benny Hill theme music. Tauriel I can live with just because its pleasant to watch the compellingly attractive Evangeline Lil...

I didn't mind A Few Good Men, but the outcome was celebratory rather than tragic..... taking down "Jack" was literally cutting off your nose to spite your face and was somehow lauded as patriotic rather than idiotic. I also enjoyed Last Samurai but Cruise annoyed the hell out of me with th...

Has anyone mentioned the stars could be Elohim? Wasn't there some connection between them and stars discussed at one point? The picture could be a young One Tree if Maahtir were installed as guardian in the past. Alternately, he might be the successor to the Forestal; blindness seems to be a job req...

Quite possibly Stave... for any other Haruchai failing to prevail would be a diminishment.

This was a good romp and frankly it was the movie Die Hard 5 should have been: if you like the DH franchise this is for you. It moves fast, has lots of big bangs and fire fights with advance weaponary and full of unlikely survival scenarios...... in short great fun. Only drag for me was................

Like the last handful of Ali fights this series just didn't know when to give up the ghost, but I think this one will bury it. Can Bruce Willis still be a plausible action character and keep John McLane going? Sure, but not with this story or this script. I saw a review of this movie which likened i...

The Arch has to go: I can't see SRD not wanting to write this! So the liklihood I think is that we'll see mass destruction in a maelstrom of events that confront the major protagonists, those from here, the Hurachai, the Elohim and "elementals" Foul, She, the Creator, etc. Death and rebirt...

I thought Branagh did a superb job in Thor, not just visualising the realms and creating Asgard, but in the photography which took the odd agled perspectives in comic frames and using these to enhance the 3D apsects (or vice versa perhaps). He did this again with his perspectives which shot 'down' s...

Krazy Kat wrote:Yeah, I'm sure you're correct about that, Hashi. Just two in a long list of the Despiser's victims.

Or victims of crazy parents maybe?

So long its still sinking in 3 days later! I think this might have been two movies worth of plot condensed to one. I do think it rounded the series off very well, but was rushed with the result that the character's redemption process whilst supposedly tortuous over 3+ months was accomplished with ab...

We're probably due a Tarzan Re-dux....

Hashi, I've long held the view that there are only about 35 stories that are there to be told. Think the Arabian Nights, Shakespeare, Dickens and so on; they ran out of juice after around 35. Of course there are many variations of each storyline in context, time, personnel etc. but the basic story/p...

I have a copy of The Plank well worth checking out: Sykes and Tommy Cooper!

Sad news indeed.
