Hypocrites. Man, they can do your head in at times. Thankfully best avoided and ignored - and thanks to the ability to leave PM threads (other sites) where slating others behind their backs is seemingly the main purpose - a godsend.

Either explain what you mean by calling me a hypocrite or stop it. This is the second time you’ve done that.

The threads behind your back were a direct result of your forum moderation. If people didn’t fear repercussions like getting
temp or perm banned, the discussions could have been had with you face to face.

As stated - not on about here.

If I have something to say to you I’ll come out and say it - I’ll leave making snide comments to others whose MO that is.

Any questions or issues re arising from ‘forum moderation’ were answered at the time - and, if I recall correctly, nothing was followed up to after Jay & my replies at the time.

As stated to before, if anyone had issues with me they were/are always free to PM me.

I’ll leave the conversation there - as it wasn’t about you (or anything to do with this site) in the first place - though am not surprised you tried to make it so.

Bartenders who ‘call time’ and give a ‘5 minutes till closing’ call minutes after they’ve served a bar full of customers - with the promoted boxing on tv still ongoing.

^ No worries mate. Hopefully there’ll be a lot more art like this after IX too - especially useful for custom Saga blu ray and dvd covers etc.

Edit: from when the Saga was just the PT and OT, I quite liked this… (though would have liked a more ESB-era orientated Yoda)

I’ve considered watching Dr. Who. I have no idea where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction? Should I just watch the best episodes to see if I like the concept? Should I start with a certain series? Does it matter? I’d like to know because I think it’s daunting.

If you have the time mate (and patience)… I’d opt to start with the 1st of the new seasons - 2005 with Ecclestone as The Doctor - only 178 episodes and some Christmas Specials to go 😉

A shame that - though it could run for another 2-3 seasons quite easily (from the story perspective). Though at least it’ll go out on it’s own terms, and have a proper ending - which is denied for many other shows. Roll on 2019.

I was adding a few Star Wars parodies / tributes and rip-off threads to the ‘An Index Thread for General Star Wars Discussion…’ the other day, and there were a fair few releases with their own threads on here. Shockingly, the much under-rated Gremloids / Hyperspace didn’t have it’s own thread - and so I decided to remedy this cruel injustice, hence…

Behold, puny earthlings… the film ‘Gremloids’ - aka Hyperspace - or Gremlords

Director and writer Todd Durham, in his first feature length film, gives us a bizarrely yet joyful mega-budget adventure straight out of the growing Star Wars enthused parody collection. Actors Chris Elliott and Paula Poundstone are joined by Lord Buckethead himself to star in this manly Earth-based 1984 sci-fi romp - firmly in the curiosity / ‘so bad it’s good’ / I’ve just wasted 90 mins of my life on this category.

Think ‘Vader & Jawas are teamed up to take over the universe’ - and film’s tagline of ‘The Fate of Mankind Hangs in the Balance’… gives it a far more grandiose plan than the story (and budget) delivers.

The artwork and soundtrack (both below) are probably a little better than the film itself likely deserves…

In the US it was known as ‘Hyperspace’, in the UK ‘Gremloids’, and apparently in Germany it was known as ‘Gremlords’.

Gremlords / Hyperspace - Trailer (in German) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArbABgA40Pc

Film plot / synopsis (from wikipedia):-

'Princess Serina has stolen vital radio transmissions from an evil Galactic Alliance. The Darth Vader-like villain, Lord Buckethead, pursues Serina, but, due to an error in navigation, instead lands on Earth.

Lord Buckethead then leads his Jawa-like minions into the nearby suburban town while none the wiser of his blunder. He immediately mistakes town folk such as Chester, the local baker, for a galactic hero called Captain Starfighter; and again later Karen, an employee at a local transmission repair shop, for Princess Serina, whom he promptly abducts for interrogation.’

Some more info on the Gremloids film:-

A few reviews of the film…

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0141270/reviews

Some film trivia…

“Lord Buckethead attempted to promote his movie in the UK by standing as a prospective MP for Parliament in both the 1987 and 1992 General Elections. Representing the “Gremloid” party (by which this movie is known in the UK) he stood against Margaret Thatcher in her Finchley constituency and somehow got 131 votes. Five years later in 1992 he stood against the then PM John Major in Huntingdon and got 107 votes. In 2017, 25 years later, he stood again against then PM Theresa May in Maidenhead and got 249 votes.” - imdb. (more info below)
