Love your new avatar Duracell. I have met Laura a few times.

Yeah i really hope Dr.Strange happens in some form. 

That would be great. His name was mentioned very briefly in Winter Soldier so there could be a hint there. 

Yeah, it's a mystery. When did the bubble gum cards first start to appear in the US ? Maybe something to do with the UK not even having Star Wars here until the December. That means we maybe did not even have any cards until early 1978.

Strange thing about the bubble gum cards. Here in the U.K, I remember collecting the red cards which were series 2 first and then the blue cards series 1 came after. I definitely remember this to be the case. I don't remember any of the other series being available here after that.

I've been feeling this since I started looking at the Black Series figures in stores.

 Yeah, I was thinking this as well. The 6" range of OT figures out now and those to come certainly out number the PT characters. The only PT figures out now are Obi-Wan Kenobi (EP III) and Darth Maul. Clone Trooper and Anakin (EP III) out later.

It was not that long ago that you tried to apologise for being a toss pot and  some of the guys on here said that was cool. Now you are starting the same crap again.

^ Lol !

Batman (1989)

I had not seen this in a long time so had a watch last night.

I really enjoyed it after so long a break. I think Michael Keaton made a good Batman. Also great to see so much model work and Matte paintings. The set designs for this film are just awesome.

I saw this issue in the shop today. The panel included is pre-painted and weathered but the quad laser canon is unpainted. The picture on the back of the card looks fantastic but that even shows a close up of the canon painted and wethered. Looks like there may be quite a bit of extra work to do yourself.

I came away without it, but I am still really tempted.

"Let's be careful out there"

That's true !

LOL !

 At a convention, Kenneth Colley said he never saw Vader without his helmet  being filmed. That must mean that is a stand in looking at Vader's chamber and Colley walked on the set and just filmed the reaction shots.

Just a bit of trivia I remembered.

What a crappy thing for the cinema to do. I bet they did not refund any money. I would have left as well. I don't want to see that garbage.

^ Just stay away from TFN dude.

Here on OT is where the cool kids hang out.

 Holy crap ! What the...........?

Why are the Dallas Cowboys hated so much in the NFL ?

There is quite a fanbase here in the U.K, so is there something we don't know ?

 In some ways, this was even worse. ;)

 Yep ! That really is shit.

The controversy over who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo, in Episode IV, what I did was try to clean up the confusion, but obviously it upset people because they wanted Solo [who seemed to be the one who shot first in the original] to be a cold-blooded killer, but he actually isn’t. It had been done in all close-ups and it was confusing about who did what to whom. I put a little wider shot in there that made it clear that Greedo is the one who shot first, but everyone wanted to think that Han shot first, because they wanted to think that he actually just gunned him down.

 Gary Kurtz said at the Elstree Empire Day that Han's actions were pre emptied. He knew Greedo was going to kill him so Han shot him first. That's that !

Well, we don't even need someone like Kurtz explaining it to us, the scene as it plays out in the original film is very simple and speaks for itself. You need to be a brainless toddler if you don't understand what's going on in that scene.

 Yeah, I know. What I meant by that is that Kurtz said it was always meant to be like that. Never the way George is now saying in the above statement.

Thanks, it makes a lot more sense now. I love the Anthology boxed set, I remember the day I bought it at a Coconuts in NYC circa 1995. I had to order the set from them because the only one they had in stock had a slice in the box top where an employee had been careless with a box-cutter.

I like the RCA sets only for the additional unreleased tracks they provide, but the Anthology set will always be my favorite of the CD releases.

 Yeah, it's a great set. I always remember the first time I played the discs, it was like finding Alladin's cave.

^Nothing showing yet !

Here is a picture I took at Hever Castle. I tried to match the deleted scene.

I asked a guide in the castle if he knew anything about the filming and he did not have a clue what I was talking about. This fountain is at the far end of the grounds, away from the castle.

Is The Humanoid the one with Richard Kiel?

 Yep, that's the one.

Yeah, other than that :)
