When I was at school I was trying to impress the hottest girl in class by lending her my textbook. However, I forgot that the sleeve to my Transformers the movie video was in the textbook because I was trying to flatten out a crease (this was in the mid 90s, so I was about 16 - far too old to be watching Transformers, apparently). An unlikely story about my 'pesky kid brother' was attempted, but failed to convince.

Yeah, Space: Above and beyond rocked. So sad it only got one series. I'm definitely getting this when it hits UK shores. In other news, my younger brother who works in Blockbuster stole a Star Wars Episode 3 DVD release T-shirt for me. It's got the Star Wars logo on the front and a picture of the Obi-Wan/Anakin duel on the back with the release date.

P.S Another DVD I am so happy to see finally getting a release - Escape From New York.

But are the figures any good? The Marvel ones are ace. I got the Thing on the weekend, he looks so cool.

Sorry Nanner. can't help you there.

Does anybody know how to change the title of a thread? Apparently if you created it, you can cahnge the name, and the Bond thread has recently been renamed to reflect Daniel Craig's appointment as 007. Anybody in the know care to help?

I think it's ok from a novelty point of view, as long as the originals aren't forgotten. I rememebr I was pretty excited when the '97 SEs came out. It was only when they replaced the true movies that I started getting annoyed/upset.

Bungle, what Figurine magazine is that then? Is it similar to the one Marvel have out at the moment? If so, I'm gonna run to the shop right now because those Marvel figures are sweet.

Personally the only car I want to see in a Bond movie is the Aston Martin DB5. If they insist on using a modern Aston, fine, but none of that invisible crap. What a joke - an invisible car. I mean, I suppose it's possible one day, but Bond isn't sci-fi.

Speaking of the DB5, I just had a thought. Remember in the last Bond flick they showed all the old gadgets lying around Q's office and Bond picked up the jet pack from Thunderball and said 'does this still work?' Well, that definitively means that all 21 Bond films fall into the same continuity/universe. I always considered each new Bond to be the start of a new cycle, if that makes sense, existing seperately from the previous Bonds. Does anybody else have an opinion on this?

Cool. I went through a phase of trying to program drums and stuff because none of my friends were dedicated enough, but I just found it to be too rigid for what I was trying to do - it lost the spontaneity, and I was after a raw, real sound, which I know is possible, but I'm a guitarist/singer, not a computer programmer, so I gave up. Now I just hassle my drummer constantly and squeeze a jamming/recording session out of him whenever I possibly can. My friend who is a shit hot lead guitarist has recently moved back to London though, so things are looking up.

BTW, I'll buy one of your CDs to support a fellow musicman - which one do you think best shows what you're all about?

Yeah Bossk, that's exactly what I'm hoping for - something along the lines of Bourne, but obviously with the trademark Bond-isms (beautiful women, some one liners, Martini, etc).

Thanks for the support Chaltab. I am soooooo tempted to just do 5 random posts to cross the finish line, but I must resist, or forever walk the path of AWK will I.

P.S Hahahah - you said Bollocks: That is a total British thing. I get some very funny looks when I say that in America, then once I've explained myself everyone thinks it's great and starts using it.

The only times I watched TPM and AOTC were for the sake of research - discussions on TF.n or some such.

HahahAH - That says it all. You have no desire to watch these movies as entertainment.

I cannot wait to see them on the big screen and also get my first taste of a Faces set on DVD.

Yeah we did. I have them on VHS. And they are sitting in a cupboard because I really dislike the covers - I mean, Vader is ok, but a generic stormtrooper for Empire? Lame. And a gay photo of the inanimate Yoda puppet? Also lame. I also dislike the colour scheme. When it comes to Star Wars, it has to be the original 70s/80s art or something by drew struzan. That's no reflection on Dark Jedi though, it's not like he designed them, and it looks like he's done a great job of recreating them for DVD, which was his intention. I also like the addition on the AT-ATs and the Final duel etc. They really add something to the boring original images.

EDIT:
I just went back and re-read the post. Looks like Rik made the covers. Nice one mate.

I'm glad that you've stuck with the same general 'feel' of the site, the same fonts etc, because I always felt it looked very cool as it was. Weird seeing that teaser actually - it was the same, but diffrent. Will take some getting used to.

Brosnan was a great Bond, and I personally like Goldeneye. But the rest of the Brosnan films both sucked and blowed at the same time. It was not Pierce's fault. He was the only redeeming feature of those movies, and I'm sure they would have been even worse without him.

*vaguely remembers something about an asian guy with diamonds embedded in his face who has plastic surgery to look like a posh English guy who enjoys extreme sports and shudders*

*gets an image of Madonna trying to act as a fencing instructer and has a near fatal heart attack*

Dear God, I am almost pleased for Brosnan because now he can move on to better things. I thought he was very good in the Laws of Attraction, and very un-Bond-like. Daniel Craig - Good Luck.

I had no clue what a beautiful mind was about when I watched it - Now that was one helluva twist (yes, I know it's a true story, but it was so well done. I thought the movie ws actually about a clever guy who was hired by the CIA as a codebreaker until that twist hit me in the face).

But anyway, yeah, Star Wars 3...Meh. It's the best of a bad bunch, but I'm not buying the DVD unless they bring out a 6 movie saga boxset including the theatrical cuts of the OT, then I will buy it. Otherwise, I just can't justify it - it's not like I'm gonna watch it, so why buy it?
