The Return of Six Degrees of Star Wars
Time
Hey ric, you could have skipped a step and gone from Terry-Thomas to Peter Ustinov in Disney's Robin Hood, then straight to Frank Oz in the Great Muppet Caper.

Malini Fonseka (Bambaru Avith) Joe Abeywickrama (Chandar, the Black Leopard of Ceylon) Ben Wright (The Little Mermaid) Mark Hamill [yes, he's in there].

Jason Beghe (check my post in the "things that scared you as a kid" thread to find out where that came from).

But the thing that truly creeped me out and made me believe that there was a malicious force of evil and destruction in my bedroom was one of these:




Reminds me of the poster for Monkey Shines, which wasn't allthat scary, but had a great ad campaign.

My mother is a closet horror movie fan, but the thing that freaked me out most when I was a kid was the TV ad for the 1978 movie Magic, based on the novel of the same name by William Goldman. The entire ad was a slow zoom on the ventriliquist dummy's head while he recited this creepy sing-songy rhyme. There was also a violin playing a single high-pitched note for the duration of the ad. I think it would still creep me out today.

Sorry for the disruption--won't happen again.

I understand what it's like to be busy, believe me. I feel like a shitheel for having taken as long as I have to get the redesign done.


It's probably a little of both. When I was a law student, I had tons of time to post. Now that I'm working full time and in the bar admission course, it's a fight to get in here sometimes.

Alan Parsons project, yes. I forgot to mention Jethro Tull and Focus, too... And one of my guilty pleasures is Electric Light Orchestra. Also, J-ROCK and J-POP bands.

ELO should not be considered a guilty pleasure. I'm a huge fan. Also:
Queen
Van Halen
Yes
Chicago
The Cure
Blur
Sugar
Big Sugar
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention

I know there's more, but I'll come back later.
