Another āposterā idea for an Ikea Ribba frame (pictured above in the previous post) - but this time for many differing tv/film series and USB drives to boot - am sure everyone has their own favouritesā¦
Iāve still to put the clasps/pins in below each logo to hold the 9 USB flash drives in placeā¦

Paul Manafort: FBI āraided home of former Trump chairmanāā¦
Itās not often that I listen to every recording released by a person, especially a fairly new artist. I was introduced to Agnes Obel a little while back by a friend, and I fell in love with the music, but music often has a way of hitting you differently depending on your mood. Well, I was in the right mood, and I got that wonderful click of inspiration. I wanted to play, I wanted to sing. I find myself humming these songs. I find myself transported by these songs. Itās exciting, and yesā¦I listened to every album this woman has released, and I want more.
I recommend any of you to listen to random tracks from Youtube, and see what you think. Itās not something where I can chose a song I think best defines her work, I think any will do.
Agnes Obel - Philharmonics
Agnes Obel - Aventine
Agnes Obel - Citizen of Glass
Nice one ESF - just spent an afternoon listening to Agnes in the background whilst at work on the pc (a youtube mix of her stuff so far) - some decent tunes and interesting delivery - will be listening to her bit more in the future. Many thanks for recommendation/info š

Kind of a silly lawsuit, but imagine if somebody sued over the SEās being passed off as the originals? šš Good luck the the person who ordered the 007 boxset with āallā the James Bond films in - companies should be more careful with the words described to sell their product to the public.
They do actually have the list of films in the box that are includedā¦ The whole lawsuit is completely just being stupid.
Yet, it clearly states that:-
'Product Description
Collectible box set featuring all 22 James Bond films on Blu-ray disc in one complete offering for the first time.
Collection includes all 22 James Bond feature films from Dr. No to Quantum of Solace and more than 130 hours of bonus features including never-before-seen content from the Bond archives, and more.ā
So āallā means not āallā - because there is a long list of films and bonus content afterwards? - which after seeing āallā you probably wouldnāt read through that list as youāre already safe in the knowledge that youāre going to receive all the James Bond films in this boxsetā¦
Ā
I think the lawsuit is quite petty - though if it results in companies have to be more accurate and careful in the way they word/sell their products then the better it is for us, the consumerā¦

And now thereās a website?!?
a quick whois will likely show a few details - I imagine the hostsā terms and conditions may be violated by this person(s) selling stuff like thisā¦ (and GoDaddy may not like to feel the wrath of Disney/Lucasfilm getting in contact) - and then handing over files to help ascertain just who is behind itā¦)
I can only echo what others have said in here - massive thanks phildesfr - for sharing your quality work and also your asset files too š
and the shin_O poster really looks great as a TLJ cover as well!
Alison Brieā¦
Likely had a tough week with the leaks - though captivating on-screen; not just her looks but the quality of her acting, the way she carries herself, and a mysterious intrigue/depth she brings to many of her roles.
Hi everyone! My new set is available in this new thread:

Hywel Bennett dies at 73ā¦
The Premiere cinema in Cardiff (UK) Ā£4 a ticket, any film, any format, any time!
I think itās Ā£3 for a child.
So for a family (2x adults + 2x child) Ā£14.
Quality that mate - seems the owner has a decent business model and doesnāt mind cutting his profit margin if it gets people and families back in (and may likely make a little back in the longer run) - better that than it laying empty and decaying for 10 years š
My local is Ā£6.90 an adult, Ā£5.40 kids all days and times - bar Tues & Wed when itās Ā£5 adult, Ā£2 kids. Doing well too and getting in people in from various community groups, people just looking to meet up with mates, and those who want to just get out the house etc.

Finally, wasnāt Peter Cushing too tall? I seem to remember him being barely taller than Carrie Fisher, and she was rather short too. He towered over nearly everyone.
^ Seems Cushing isnāt too far off Vaderās height (with Vader having a helmet and boots - and Cushing likely wearing his slippers - as the Imperial boots were apparently uncomfortable for him to film in for any length of time)ā¦
Ā
ā¦I canāt believe that the Empire would dismiss the stolen Death Star plans so readily in the next film. āIt doesnāt matter what technical plans theyāve discovered. This station is now the ultimate power in the galaxyā¦ā Really?! The Rebels sent their entire fleet to get those plans, donāt you think they did that for a reason?
The full conversation from that conversation in the next film is:-
INT. DEATH STAR - CONFERENCE ROOM
Eight Imperial senators and generals sit around a black
conference table. Imperial stormtroopers stand guard around
the room. Commander Tagge, a young, slimy-looking general,
is speaking.
TAGGE
Until this battle station is fully
operational we are vulnerable. The
Rebel Alliance is too well equipped.
They're more dangerous than you
realize.
The bitter Admiral Motti twists nervously in his chair.
MOTTI
Dangerous to your starfleet,
Commander, not to this battle station!
TAGGE
The Rebellion will continue to gain
a support in the Imperial Senate as
long as....
Suddenly all heads turn as Commander Tagge's speech is cut
short and the Grand Moff Tarkin, governor of the Imperial
outland regions, enters. He is followed by his powerful ally,
The Sith Lord, Darth Vader. All of the generals stand and
bow before the thin, evil-looking governor as he takes his
place at the head of the table. The Dark Lord stands behind
him.
TARKIN
The Imperial Senate will no longer
be of any concern to us. I've just
received word that the Emperor has
dissolved the council permanently.
The last remnants of the Old Republic
have been swept away.
TAGGE
That's impossible! How will the
Emperor maintain control without the
bureaucracy?
TARKIN
The regional governors now have direct
control over territories. Fear will
keep the local systems in line. Fear
of this battle station.
TAGGE
And what of the Rebellion? If the
Rebels have obtained a complete
technical readout of this station,
it is possible, however unlikely,
that they might find a weakness and
exploit it.
VADER
The plans you refer to will soon be
back in our hands.
MOTTI
Any attack made by the Rebels against
this station would be a useless
gesture, no matter what technical
data they've obtained. This station
is now the ultimate power in the
universe. I suggest we use it!
VADER
Don't be too proud of this
technological terror you've
constructed. The ability to destroy
a planet is insignificant next to
the power of the Force.
MOTTI
Don't try to frighten us with your
sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your
sad devotion to that ancient religion
has not helped you conjure up the
stolen data tapes, or given you
clairvoyance enough to find the
Rebel's hidden fort...
Suddenly Motti chokes and starts to turn blue under Vader's
spell.
VADER
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
TARKIN
Enough of this! Vader, release him!
VADER
As you wish.
TARKIN
This bickering is pointless. Lord
Vader will provide us with the
location of the Rebel fortress by
the time this station is operational.
We will then crush the Rebellion
with one swift stroke.
^ Soā¦ the Empire doesnāt really dismiss the stolen plans at allā¦ it is just Motti who is somewhat overconfident and also displays little regard for his own Imperial Fleet - whilst boasting about the power of the Death Star given the conversation above - and also resulted in Vader choking him seconds later.
Ā
Rogue One has itās faults - many are seemingly quite subjective (and a few could possibly be explained by the re-shoots/changes) - but the height of a character and one Imperial officer in the next film with a hard-on for the Death Star becoming the basis for āI canāt believe that the Empire would dismiss the stolen Death Star plans so readily in the next filmā, arenāt quite there.
(not discounting your premise that Motti would somehow know that it was the entire Rebel fleet at the Battle Of Scarif - which it likely wasnāt).

I scoffed at this at first, then read the year again.
I pretty much agree. Might give it a 7/10.
1990? Wow - time has flown. Am off to watch this again - only seems a couple of years ago since saw it at the cinema, though remember seeing in the mid-90ās in the UKā¦ too many zombie films to remember š
