Getting, and watching, Beyond the Lighted Stage. Perhaps even better is the fact that my local HMV actually had a large number in stock. Bit different to when the R30 DVD was due out - I went into the same place to ask about it and got the reaction "Who are Rush?" from the assistant.

Actually, its the opposite way round. The photo was taken by, if I remember right, Fin Costello of the crowd at a Rush gig and Rainbow used it for the LLR'n'R album. obviously, the banner has been changed for the DVD cover but, if you look closely, the guy with the denim between Alex and Neil is wearing a Rush shirt as is the one just to the right of Neil's head whose face is onscured by someone's fist.

No, the original St Trinians films were made by British Lion. There's a chance they were made at Ealing Studios but not by Ealing Studios (if you see what I mean?) Another couple of good Ealing Films I've got, not comedies this time, are Went the Day Well? (1942) - The Eagle Has Landed seems to take many ideas from this film Dead of Night (1945) - featuring one of the first instances of the murdering ventriloquists dummy. Both of these are worth checking out.

You may be right but that doesn't make them any less funny

This has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever watched. Can't you just see Tim Burton doing his own take on it? Then again, it s no worse than the Star Wars Holiday Special, is it?

I was lucky enough to pick up a real bargain the other day - The Best of Ealing Studios Collection which features: Kind hearts and Coronets 1949 Passport to Pimlico 1949 The Lavender Hill Mob 1951 The Man in the White Suit 1951 The Ladykillers 1955 for any of you who have never heard of it, Ealing Studios is the oldest continuously working film studio in the world. In the 1940s and 50s, it became famous for a series of comedy films, of which the above 5 are among the best. What may be of interest to some people is the fact 4 of the above films feature a pre-Obi Wan Kenobi alec Guinness who displays a real flair for comedy - especially in Kind Hearts and Coronets where he plays eight different characters. Although dated and, dare I say, quaint to modern eyes, they're still worth a watch if you've never seen them and will raise more than the odd chuckle

I am just so very glad that no-one has said Paycheck. Its not one of Dick's better works but the filom

While we're on the subject of Vampires, can anyone remember a pretty low budget British vampire film that came out about 8 or 9 years ago? I can't remember the title and never got to see it - only trailers and features - but it looked quite amusing. The onnly things I can remember about it is that there was a blonde in a white nurses uniform, a brunette in a burgundy uniform who ended up as a vampire and a policeman who got covered in shit. I think the whole thing took place in a mental hospital. If any of you know what this film is, let me because I really want to see it

I'll disagree slightly with that - the blame needs laying, squarely, at the feet of Anne Rice Say what you want about the movies from her books but her books kick ass and Lestat is the shit. Can't agree with you there - I read Interview With a Vampire when I was in my early 20s and found it quite dull. If I want vampires, I'll probably stick with Bram Stoker or 30 Days of Night (now they were viscious) QUOTE (Mara Posted on Jun 27 2010 @ 06:41 PM ) While we're at it, Meyer neutered the werewolves as well. What happened to "An American Werewolf In London", who was a mild-mannered nerdy little fellow until the full moon hit? Then he mangled the SHIT out of anyone in his way. QUOTE (RUSHHEAD666 Posted on Jun 27 2010 @ 11:53 PM ) Now you are talking! That's a great movie. Don't forget "The Howling" too. Love it. Ever see "Wolfen?" Good stuff. American Werewold - pretty good stuff (Jenny Agutter in a nurse's uniform ) The Howling - not too impressed with the film although I quite enjoyed the book. The Wolfen - never seen the film but the book was excellent. However, for really nasty, viscious werewolves, watch Dog Soldiers - brilliant

I had to read that sentance three or four times before I could really believe that you had put the words Tom Cruise and acting together. Are you sure weren't dreaming when you saw Tom Cruise acting? Its as likely as Keanu Reeves having a second facial expression.

QUOTE (lerxt1990 @ Apr 30 2010, 01:21 AM) Steve McQueen at any time in the movie Bullitt. I would, also, have to mention pretty much any scene featuring Steve McQueen in The Great Escape - particularly the part where he's thrown into the cooler and pinches the guards keys on the way in. Han Solo shooting Greedo (and firing first) in the proper version of A New Hope. ("Sorry for the mess") Adam Baldwin just before the raid at the beginning of Serenity ("Shiny, let's be bad guys") But, for me, the prize has to go for pretty much everything Errol Flynn does in The Adventures of Robin Hood - when I was growing up, he was my hero

I must confess that I've tended to avoid Twilight so far (my daughter is more interested in Harry Potter and Ben 10 at the moment), however, from what I've heard, I think I agree with a comment I read from Terry Pratchett recently: Vampires are supposed to be scary

I've not actually seen The champ so I can't comment on those particular scenes. However, I do remember going to see Silence of the Lambs with a friend and having her being quite irritated at me sniggering all the way through the film. nothing to do with the acting or anything, I honestly found it very amusing and came out of the cionema thinking I had watched a black comedy. What does that say about me? On the other hand, Alfred Hitchcock intended Psycho to be a black comedy as well so I could be in good company there.

I haven't seen all the Pixar films but I'm going to have to vote Wall-E, simply because it one of my all-time favourite films EVER!

QUOTE (Sark @ Nov 26 2009, 02:44 PM) then I give up. As a refugee from several long term relationships and one failed marriage I think that's your best course of action and the sensible thing to do. There's only one female in my life at present and that's fine by me - she's not let me down yet and I don't think she ever will. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Jimyyz2112/kids/mary3.jpg She hasn't told me to get my hair cut or dyed to cover the gray, change my choice in clothes, stop watching/reading SF and fantasy or stop listening to Rush. She only complains on the occasions when I don't shave for a few days because it tickles (though she seems fine with the goatee I've got at the present) What more could I want?

QUOTE (Fridge @ Jun 5 2010, 08:09 AM) QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Jun 4 2010, 03:55 PM) My favorite forum post about the new songs (not TRF): QUOTE In songwriting terms, these .. tracks don't even exist for me. Listening to Caravan again now. More or less any dullard with a guitar could have come up with a dull sequence of riffs like this, few professional singers would have made as godawful a job of failing to integrate a vocal melody into it, and any clown could have bolted the various bits together at least as well as has happened here. With the best will in the world, I couldn't sincerely categorise this drivel as music. Listening to BU2B now; I think it's slightly worse. Dumb feck riffola meets a cringing vocal line and a deeply trite and pedestrian chorus. The only thing I like about it is the way Peart has given it an Internet abbreviation as a title. Keep in mind he's a dullard Brit (not saying all Brits are, pleaste don't mistake) who's written essentially the same review for every album after Hold Your Fire. Simply swap out song and album titles and insert the same tired bits and recycled adjectives and there you have it. He, at the very least might, earn himself an Emmy Award for daytime drama, not to mention a couple nods for overt hyperbole. I must admit I was a little surprised and disappointed with this (obviously I know EXACTLY who you are talking about). I have pretty much agreed with quite a lot of his assessments of things, but I feel this is totally unfair, as Caravan in particular is musically very good indeed (though I can understand the vocals criticism). It does seem like negativity for negativitys' sake, which hand on heart I have never resorted to, any opinion I have expressed being an honest one. Is it who I think it is? (Doesn't need a diet) Anyway, I have to confess that when I heard the songs on YouTube earlier this week, I wasn't that impressed. However, I was, finally, able to download them earlier today and, once the kids were in bed, I managed to give them a proper listen and I've totally changed my mind. While they don't have the immediacy of some of the singles from Rush albums (Far Cry and Spirit of Radio being two that spring to mind), they cetainly have a lot going for them. If this is the taster for Clockwork Angels, bring on the main course.

I think I might've said it like that a few time (in my head!) at first but I caught on quickly. Actually, way back in pre-history and I first got into Rush (I was about 11), I used to call it 2-11-2. That was before I read the lyrics and realised it was a date
