I saw that one too. Saw Toyah live, way back then (first gig I went to) and certainly she knew how to do it all live, excellent stuff. I had a thing for Toyah back then, and to a degree still do.Quote:

It was the way she was, the look, etc. Heck I was only out of School back then.... where did the time go ?Quote:

No doubt it was Toyah's orange-coloured skinhead hair do that put you off - I did me.Quote:

Mel and Kim were tasty as well.
Only one. Susanna Hoffs, who was gorgeous. Knocking on a bit now and approaching sixty.Quote:

Great train crash near the end, and not surprisingly they used a 1/4 scale model of a train. The scenes when the deloren was on the tracks speeding in front of the train were infact shot in reverse, as the train was towing the car(full size train this time.Sierra no3 I believe). train could only do 40 mph i reverse though due to the small real buggy. Still, its a super bit of cinema. the high pan of the town is a homage to Sergio Leone.
And beautifully parodied by NTNON:Quote:

Yes they copy that shot from Once Upon A Time In The West. And of course the 'bullet proof vest' from A Fistfull Of Dollars. Better hope he doesn't go for a head shot!
Yeah, take that Ultravox.Quote:

Re-watching this right now before hitting the cinema later tonight for the sequel ...
Never read the books but I know Reacher is supposed to be more like The Rock than The Scientologist, but I really enjoyed this when I saw it first time round.
Rosamund Pike never looked more beautiful either :D
Adventures of Sherlock Holmes With Jeremy Brett as the man. and will now always be that man, such was his performances. David Burk does a very good Watson too although I preferred Edward Hardwicke . Just the dvd versions, not as shown, the BluRay

The Invaders (1995) TV Movie.
A soft reboot of the 1960s TV series of the same name, Roy Thinnes is even in it playing the role he had in the 60s series as David Vincent. Was this a pilot for a new stab at it ? I don't know but its not bad as these things go.
Ive got the boxset in house ready to watch Neil. The boy got it and sent it round for me to watch. Vaguely remember it from way back.Quote:

Quinn Martin Production, the invaders from 1967.
Very good, better than mine. I have it in two volumes, minimal features.Quote:

watched first disc... think there was 4 eps on it... Effects are ok for 60's tv but with all their knowledge and technology, why do they want info from scientists brains?;)
Now, Red Dwarf xi.. the new series .

'Mean Girls 2'
As we all know the first one was a classic of the American High School genre, easily able to hold its own against the greats like Pretty In Pink and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Sadly this sequel lacks the qualities of its predecessor. It's all a bit too contrived and Lindsay isn't in it. It's almost as big a disappointment as Starship Troopers 2, if you can believe that.
I think that was the final series - the cast were starting to age and look old. But the final episode was very clever, and wound up things in a very satisfying manner. :)Quote:

Back to The Invaders Series and disc 2 of many. :)

Early American indie movie from 1989.
Very quirky, darkly funny, genuinely witty and original.
Loving it.
Plus Edie Falco (aka Mrs Soprano) is in it looking extremely slutty :D
Carry on Screaming on ITV1 ('we must explore Avery Avenue')
My favourite of all the Carry Ons, despite Sid not being in it.Quote:

Oh god, yeah .. in Cabbie she was a knockout.
Forget Babs (which reminds me of that Fletch line in Porridge : "Beautiful Babs" .. "Yeah, I don't know her name ..")
Then there's Liz Fraser, of course :eek::eyebrows:
Babs windsor. she was a knockout when young. She is still pretty good for her age actually.
Richard Pryor and John Candy star in Brewster's Millions from 1985. Nicely paced and intelligent comedy from Walter Hill, who wasn't known for them. Think he did it for the money, but felt the end product was pretty good. The original book has been made into multiple movies with this the best.

Carry On Spying from 1964, stars Babs Windsor, Jim Dale and Bernard Cribbins along with the now usual two of Kenny Williams and Charles Hawtrey. B & W caper this about stopping STENCH :eyebrows:
