"In the Year of Our Lord, 1314, patriots of Scotland, starving and outnumbered, charged the fields of Bannockburn.

 

They fought like warrior poets. They fought like Scotsmen

 

and won their freedom."

Didn't they already do animated versions of the McKenzies (sort of)? Took and Rut in Disney's Brother Bear?

Anybody remember the scene where Newbomb is trying to nail Sally (played by Fran Drescher) in the back of the car? She's getting all worked up and talking nasty, Newbomb is struggling to get out of his pants and he 'misfires'?

 

I could never understand how someone would want to nail Fran Drescher.

Next the guy is probably going to be selling some Fendur 5051 amps, licensed by Rudy von Halen

Patrick McGoohan died at the age of 80

 

Well known for his role as Number 6 in The Prisoner and for portraying King Edward I as a tyrant in Braveheart.

And of course, nobody could say 'rich Corinthian leather' like Ricardo

Someone had some fun with said commercial

 

Just saw this.

 

Ricardo Montalban passes away at age of 88

 

Of course I remember him most famously as both the enigmatic Mr Roarke from Fantasy Island, but also as the venge-filled superhuman villian from Star Trek II, which I still regard as the best of the Star Trek movies.

 

 

I don't know if he still does it but Warren used to have a recurring joke on his narration. Whenever he referred to the past, he would state, "In those days, my face was smooth and my pants were baggy. Now my pants are smooth and my face is baggy."

When I think of Blue Velvet, I have this sense that somehow David Lynch and Dennis Hopper got on the same wavelength regarding how Frank Booth should be personified, making the character probably one of the most deliciously evil characters on film ever.

 

"Daddy wants to f***!"

Sounds nice

 

Is it my imagination or is it possible your replica has a little more low end presence than the original?

I see a little revisionist history going on in that town.

 

The town was probably originally named Baqqan or something like that; its leaders probably thought this could be a good way to extort lots of money. Now they just have to fabricate the history to prove their case.

I read several of his books. The last one I read was Prey.

 

One concern I had was that some of his characters could get preachy if anyone was playing God. Ian Malcolm was a good example of that in Jurassic Park and Lost World

 

A shame he didn't see his greatest TV creation, ER, come to its conclusion.

"Mount Everest. Forbidding, aloof, terrifying. The mountain with the biggest t**s in the world."

His best friend is a tree, and in his spare time he's a stock broker. I've bitten my tongue long enough, but you Americans should leave Python well alone. It's British Comedy for British people. I know American English is a bit of a retarded written language but it not know that it's Oliver St John-Mollusc is truly reprehensible.   I suppose the only upside is that you buggers have never tried remaking it. Ok then, answer me this, what exactly is British? Is it a bloodline or is it a citizenship? Don't mind him, he's only being a twit! But definitely not an upper-class twit.

Scientifically, you could say they were in the middle of the Mutara Nebula, which could have played havok with the transporter's energy streams. Although, one point Kirk said they would beam over and stop it, but his son responded that it couldn't be stopped. Maybe it just couldn't be beamed far enough away to put the ship out of danger.

 

Aww, c'mon. You mean you didn't enjoy Khan quoting Capt Ahab with his dying words?

"Good afternoon and welcome to Hurlingham Park. You join us just as the competitors are running out onto the field on this lovely winter's afternoon here, with the going firm underfoot and very little sign of rain. Well it certainly looks as though we're in for a splendid afternoon's sport in this the 127th Upperclass Twit of the Year Show."

As the proud new owner of the 16 ton megaset, I'll finally have full exposure to all that was Python. Sadly, I must admit that I had seen most but not all of the original ep's or skits.

 

"Photographs, he asked him knowingly! Wink, wink! Ring, ring! Snap, snap! Nudge, nudge!"

I didn't realize they were doing two episodes tonight. Go figure the premiere hype show with all of its 'sneak peaks' would all be from the first two eps, except where Ma Petrelli 'feeds' Sylar, but I can already tell that will be an early scene in Chp 3.

 

I'm guessing the writers had enough time to get Volume 3 off to a proper start.

Only ten more.....

I would have to give the same response as Soni. My experience with my Epi LP has been ok. It plays alright, but I haven't been too thrilled with the sound. Just seems a little off, but I'm not sure why. Guess my untrained ear detects something odd but can't narrow it down.

 

You could get one also as the neck and action are alright, but IMO, the electronics and pickups should probably be replaced.

Maybe at the end, Baty realized that Deckard was also a replicant. Interesting point is that during his final speech, he says "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe" which could suggest that he thought Deckard was human.

I had never really thought about whether Deckard was human or replicant before, having always assumed he was human. But considering many of the questions put forth, such as how he was able to survive so much abuse at the hands of the other replicants that would have crippled or killed a human, it would appear he was. Especially when Ridley Scott finally admitted he always viewed Deckard as being a replicant. The unicorn dream combined with Gaff's Origami unicorn figurine. In Leon's hotel, Deckard does all the investigation while Gaff does nothing, which makes me think of a wrangler following a hound on the scent.

 

I remember from the original version, Deckard's voiceover narration stated that his theory why Baty saved Deckard's life was that at that moment Baty loved all life, not just his own.

Well, now the comedic duo is together again. I recall that Dan Rowan died of a smoking-related illness many years ago.

 

Say goodnight, Dick

I think this is a collection of most of the Elric stories in one book.

 

From what I read in the intro, Moorcock started out submitting the stories to different sci-fi/fantasy magazines. The novels came later.

 

I just read The Dreaming City first.
