  1. Oliver Reed as Bill Sikes in the 1968 version of Oliver. The scene where he is brief but extremely brutal (the way that she can still be heard crying out as he clubs her to death) and seems really out of place in what had previously been a light-hearted musical. Its a nasty scene, but very effective. Best SF Badguy I would give to Maximillian in The Black Hole. A totally ruthless character. Taksraven
  2. Its just a pity that that sort of crap has to go on, esp. in literature. New Hitch-Hikers novel not written by Douglas Adams, forget it. Those bastardised Dune novels written after Herberts death, forget it. But then again, some writers/creators revisit material that should be left alone. Joseph Heller wrote a pointless sequel to Catch-22. And then there is Blues Brothers 2000. AAAARRGGHHH!!!! Taksraven
  3. Most shows/movies, etc benefit from having a single creative visionary behind them, whether it be a writer or director. This is why both the Alien and Predator franchises have such problems as far as I am concerned, since there is no single person running the show. There can be successful exceptions to the rule, Doctor Who being one of them. Taksraven
  4. Surely the best kind of fuel...... Taksraven
  5. Sozz bro, won't steal your thunder again. Taksraven
  6. I think its that all of the bands you have mentioned have dabbled or dabble in space rock, a great (but underrated) musical genre. Taksraven
  7. Hard to say. We were theorising at work yesterday, however, that the older you get the more Elvis' music speaks to you. And I am tending to agree with that. Taksraven
  8. So Public DISinformation rather than Public Relations. Minister of Propaganda? Ministry of Truth? I love 1984. DO IT TO LI-SAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Taksraven
  9. Don't forget Donnie Darko, I think thats much closer to the demographic of this thread....... ;) Taksraven
  10. What about the classic Prescilla - Queen of the Desert ripoff - "To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar"? Taksraven
  11. No. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=788648 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=788672 Taksraven
  12. *Looks at new pictures* *Just a pachinko game* MY BRAIN HURTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Taksraven
  13. I think that they should interview the leading ladies from his three major films. Demi Moore....... Jennifer Grey........... Keanu Reeves....... Taksraven
  14. I was more upset and am still upset about the unexpected death of Geoffrey Perkins last year. A true (and often unsung) legend of comedy. Taksraven
  15. Geez Exo, talk about coming out of the closet! Taksraven
  16. I dunno, maybe "Legend of the Overfiend" would be suitable? NO!!!! JOKE!!!!! DON'T WATCH IT. EXTREMELY DISTURBING MATERIAL...... Taksraven
  17. I dunno. I think that everything after the end of Comet Empire was an attempt to recapture past glories rather than tell a new, interesting story. I'll still watch the new one, of course, and I'll probably enjoy it. Taksraven
  18. Rutger Haur was pretty evil in The Hitcher. Taksraven
  19. Here in Australia we had thousands of men who were in POW camps during WW2 and they didn't snap and turn into Rambo's. Thats not to say that it cant happen, but I still think that Rambo came across as a whinger. At least he didn't end up in a veterans hospital. (They are supposed to be truly hellish places) Taksraven
  20. Frank Burns in the original M*A*S*H movie. Taksraven
  21. Those books sucked, plain and simple. Taksraven
  22. I thought that Rambo was a whiney little bitch in the first film and the series kept going downhill from there. Taksraven
  23. I have always preferred Dark Horizons. Been going there since '96 and Garth has always run a good site. Taksraven
  24. Probably a stupid question and it probably has been discussed before, but are there legal reasons why HG had not used any Southern Cross mecha in Shadow Chronicles? Taksraven
  25. DCC or DAT? Actually I think that there was two formats, wasn't there? A competition in a format that was rapidly going out the window altogether. What a great idea. Taksraven
