Doctor Socrates: Footballer, Philosopher, Legend

certainly not your average footballer, and so far certainly not an average book 😃
^ I think I may have returned to that cave a few times in my adventures playing it - I remember not being very good. Though now after years of gaming & life experience I’m sure I’ll be better this time around…
(there may be a broken copy of Super Star Wars, and a broken snes controller going for free in a few hours 😉)
- Tarkin is so close to looking real, it almost throws the whole illusion off
It was amazing what they pulled off with CG Tarkin, but I was always focusing on the CGIness whenever Tarkin was on.
Same here for the first couple of times I saw Tarkin up on the screen - as a bit of a fan of the old Hammer Horror era films with Peter Cushing et al, it somewhat pulled me out of the film to look to see how they did it, how real (or not) he looked, how it worked best (dimly lit shots for me - and I think a really good reflection shot) etc.
Took me a few watches to just watch it for what it was - a pretty good attempt at it, and a near spot-on portrayal from Guy Henry.
anyway, came across this earlier - really like the fragments in the lower part of the picture, the overall style, colouring and emotion of the scene:-
^ I’d play it - think I’ve still got Super Star Wars in the loft - may have to give that a go later 😃
What a dick.
Wait, so Pablo was the lizard baby in V: The Final Battle? 😉
Wow, good eye.
I found that scene exquisitely, euphorically horrifying as a kid.Is that the birth where there were twins - a baby lizard with a human tongue, and then a human baby with a lizard tongue?
Loved the V stuff - though sketchy in detail now years later - think they did something ‘meh’ with a starchild (with magic powers of course! 😃)?
Here’s the whole sequence if you want to relive the heartwarming scene. 😉

The “human” baby is the one they pulled the starchild Deus Ex Machina with. Poor little baby Gorn didn’t live long. 😦The lizard baby really got around back in the 80’s.
Cheers mate - the memory really can play tricks over the years…
Still at least Jane Badler is as attractive as I remember her playing Diana 😃 :-
^ they are harsh mate 😃
some really nice concept designs for Rogue One (and other films) - http://www.igorstshirts.com/blog/conceptships/2016/star_wars/star_wars_saturday_11.jpg
thought this was decent and quite interesting…

^ some cool artwork on the u-Wing in the article too.
What a dick.

Gareth Edwards Reveals ‘Rogue One’s Kyber Crystals Easter Egg in Jedha…

Jedha’s Kyber Crystals Came From an Asteroid in ‘Rogue One’, But Where Did the Asteroid Come From?..
This was one of the dumbest things in R1. If you go back and look at the original trilogy, there was no pseudo-scientific explanation for how anything worked. Lightsabers simply existed, a very small number of people had them and used them, and that’s all you needed to know.
As this was a spin-off anthology film, I might have found something like this interesting, if the filmmakers had really made a true science-fiction film, including extensive research and thorough presentation. But it’s really just a bunch of wannabes who don’t know anything, making something up out of their *** and thinking “yeah, that’ll work”.
It wasn’t Star Wars. It wasn’t science fiction. I don’t know what it was.
I’m not 100% sure what you are referring to in your post?
Do you mean that Jedha was full of materials (kyber crystals) that were being mined to power the weapon for the Death Star? (And that also, before the fall of the Republic, that these crystals were used to power the lightsabres of the Jedi?)
Or that this easter egg - likely many people watching Rogue One will never know about, or likely even think about, that asteroid crashing on planet full of these crystals originated elsewhere - which’ll (for the hard-core fans) opens of the possibility of a comic, book, cartoon adaptation as to that origin - or just something to talk about?
Or you are using a post about this easter egg to further continue your trend of posts that seemingly tries to pass off your opinion as fact - on how rubbish you found it? For eg, “But it’s really just a bunch of wannabes who don’t know anything, making something up out of their *** and thinking ‘yeah, that’ll work’”
Ornella Muti, at 62 years old…
probably best remembered for sultry seductress and boreworm favourite Princess Aura from Flash Gordon…
But who here truly deserves the title of Poster Child of Posting Posters?
surely Peter Piper? 😉
cool Empire poster btw 😃
& the slightly larger version…
Beautiful.
JEDIT: Here’s a faded 70’s version I made in Photoshop:
Nice work mate - the grey and beige contrast gives it a very defined retro look (in my humble opinion)

You couldn’t make it until December to make it a full decade necrobump?
Now tomorrow’s here today
And yesterday’s today’s just fade away
(may have to dust the top edge of those posters one day…)
Also, I’m amazed that there don’t seem to be many broken image links here after 10 years.
quality posters - from quality posters 😉

EDIT: NOOOOOOO I FINALLY DID THE MARKDOWN SAMPLE TEXT THING
‘In my experience, the prettier a girl is, the more nuts she is, which makes you insane.’
I really must get around to updating my posters.
Something like this for the office…
