stealthy It all sounds a bit Bravestar to me... or was that some other big cat, either way I'm sure Apple will get there in the end. [edit]hang on that was Manimal, bravestar was a Puma of course, silly me  [/edit] |

So glad you mentioned that show. I was beginning to think that I'd imagined it. I loved all those 'also ran', Knight Rider bandwagon jumper shows like Manimal, Automan and the one with the bike. Fwiw, I look back more fondly at Blue Thunder than Airwolf. (Both had fairly cracking game versions on the Speccy.) [/off-topic] |

Donnie Darko definitely. I went to a press screening of horror Film called Cabin Fever the other day. There was a Q&A session with the director/producer and he was talking about his next project called The Box which is a collaboration between himself (Eli Roth) and Richard Kelly (director of Donnie Darko). Should be good as Roth is one twisted bastard and Kelly has the most bizzare imagination going. btw Cabin Fever is out in october sometime - go see it, especially if you liked Evil Dead. Its fucking great. |

Don't bother with 'Changing Lanes' it's shite. I was so bored I nearly left the cinema, and that's saying something coming from a man who has a crappy movie night nearly every week. It is nearly the opposite of what the trailer billed it to be (as usual) Jackson's alright in it, it's just really slow and needed to finish about 1/2hr earlier - at least. Manimal ruled, though no-one does seem to remember it much bar me and me brother. Did that Rutger Hauer film Ladyhawk come before or after... I wonder Why was it that street hawk always had to contact base to go fast??? that always seemed a bit of a lame thing to me. Hey, I got a cool fast bike, but I have to ask some old guy in a suit wether or not I can use it vroooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmm. Battle of the Planets - G-force more like  But when oh when will they replay Jase and the wheel warriors or Ulysses 1541(orwhatever year it was), kept me entertained on many a weekend |

Too late. Chose that one. Mind you I didn't start watching it till 1.30am so I wasn't up for a 'mind' film which is how Donnie Darko seems to be regarded. It wasn't that bad, imho, just a case of going through the motions. Samuel Jackson doing his black 'everyman' on the edge (again) and Ben Affleck doing his most engaging work to date (which given the utter pap of everything else he's done isn't really claming much). One of the other options I was considering getting out was 'The Sum of All Fears', which is Affleck paired up with Morgan Freeman who is another black actor seemingly content to stroll along the rut of the same role over and over (wise and stately). Dunno why, but I expect that kind of crap from young pin-ups like Affleck. I just thought that more mature actors like Freeman and Jackson would be unsatisfied with going through the motions and following the money. Seems to be nothing really engaging coming out of even the more obscure corners of western (read: US) cinema atm. But then, my core tastes have always been decidely more European cinematically speaking. |

G-Force... cool... i just got this: http://www.hlj.com/cgi-perl/hljpage.cgi?UNF50898 Jayce and the Wheeled Worriors were being replayed on Sky not so long ago... Did you know it was created by Michael J Strzinski (sp?), creator of the awesome Babylon5! As for Ulysses, this too was being re run last year! Others I'd like to see re-run: Starfleet The Sentinals Centurions Chocky's Children (that was spooky) |

Bravestar was actually a cowboy who could call upon special powers as required. The strength of a bear, the eyes of a hawk, the ears of a wolf and the speed of a pooomaaa (puma). He had a stupid cyborg horse with a redneck accent too! |

Damn if only I had Sky all my woes would be solved. You must never forget about bravestar's mysterious native american friend, he was occasionally an important plot point. So Jase and his wheeled pals were a Strazkynski (sp2) creation, probably not so Dave Sim Inspired there though Chockys Children... hmm I remember yet I don't, I know I watched it but I can't remember for the life of me. Anyone care to jog my memory? I keep ending up with the Red Hand Gang, which always sounds a little twisted to me at the best of times. But never as scary as the moomins... freeky fuzzy felt hippo freeks. |
