Right! You're going on the lis-
Hang on...
Shouldn't this be the other way round?
Deal with it.

I'm gonna kill you... your momma... and all her bridge-playing friends.

That sounds like a great idea for an editing project.
Getting individual editors to take a single movement from an orchestral or instrumental piece and interpret it visually and then packaging them together as collection.
Interesting idea, I wanted to do the whole record though, with mostly original footage. I will at some point.
Ziggy Stardust could do an ode to low definition images set to Glass' Symphony No.1.
Mind: blown.

Weird day so only had time to watch Ken Russell's interpretation of Holst's OP.32 The Planets Suite.
I'd love to see this. I've dreamed of doing something similar with Albedo 0.39 by Vangelis.

I really don't think Mick Jagger is as ugly as everyone says he is.
well, he may not look ugly when compared to Keith Richards... ;)

There are vectors that can produce confusing IP information.
My external IP reads that I'm posting in Glasgow because my provider's server is there and I could share my internal IP address with a lot of different homes and presumably businesses too because of the way the paths are allocated. The IP is also registered in Amsterdam to a Berkshire company.
I've noticed that too: when I get to a page that has one of those ads that read "congratulations! you're the winner for today in [name of town]" they never get the place right! It's always a city in the general area, but never the right one. I deduced that whatever system is being used to trace my IP is far from precise.
EDIT out of curiosity, I've just tried two different methods to determine my location, and they both got it wrong. XD

So with george's involvement does that mean Red-Tails will have a huge action figure and vehicle toy line? Will I be able to buy Red-Tails towels, underwear, toothbrushes,bed sheets, cereal and toasters as well?
Sure. Moichandising, moichandising!
Red Tails, the breakfast cereal!
Red Tails, the flame thrower! The kids'll love it.
Some thoughts about Welles and Star Wars I've wanted to share for quite a while.
So, as we all know, Lucas initially wanted Orson Welles as the voice of Darth Vader, but he was felt to be "too recognizable". Orson ended up doing that cool voice over in the trailer.
Now, I don't know how many of you are aware of this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_Peas

The point is, a couple of lines in Star Wars got me thinking. It was the exchange after Luke, Leia and Han get out of the trash compactor:
Princess Leia: I don't know who you are or where you came from, but from now on you'll do as I tell you, okay?
Han Solo: Look, Your Worshipfulness, let's get one thing straight. I take orders from just one person: me.
Princess Leia: It's a wonder you're still alive.
[Pushing past Chewbacca]
Princess Leia: Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way?
Han Solo: No reward is worth this.
Now, as far fetched as it may sound, look at this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_ehxdlAlHQ
many lines are lifted, even if they're not word for word, from the Frozen Peas tape. It appears the outtake tape was passed along sound engineers for years. No official date is given, so it could very well have been the late 60s/ early 70s.
Now, let's think about Star Wars. We know some of the dialogue was improved or even improvised by the actors. Alec Guinness added "of course" to "you must do what you feel is right". Mark Hamill improvised that bit about cell block 1138 (much to George's annoyance)
Hamill had already worked as a voice actor previous to Star Wars. Could he have picked up some of those "frozen peas" in the recording booth, and somehow worked those lines into the movie?
What does the shooting script say? Or any of the drafts?
Well at least I didn't eat the fish. That mackerel was delicious!
