After reading another member's post I was thinking about 1992. And the music I was listening to. Graduated from high school in 1992 and started work at a record store and lived in an apartment upstairs. Had access to all kinds of music, bought the store and still run it out of my house as an internet only shop. Here are 5 songs I was jamming to in 1992 Please share what you were listening to in 1992. If you existed yet and most likely at least 10 years old. "Tennessee" by Arrested Development "Doo-Bop" Miles Davis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hoPqFiH6sg "Tears in Heaven" Eric Clapton "November Rain" Guns and Roses" "Baby…

Anyone watching this? I should hope you are as it's giving me some serious Red Dead hype. I don't want to go into the premise of the series other than the Western setting as that itself would be a spoiler for the first episode. All I'm going to say is that this is going to be the next big thing, it has a great cast in Antony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Thandie Newton as well as many other recognisible faces plus the legendary Steven Ogg (aka Trevor) also makes an appearance. JJ Abrams and Jonathan Noble are behind it and it's based on a book by Micheal Crichton who wrote Jurassic Park as well as being the major screenwriter for ER as well as many others. Defi…

Right there's no free beer i admit it, but i could really do with your help in relation to a uni project i've left far too late and am currently blasting through, but i need some data. Doing a study into Vinyl collections in the 21st century as there has been a bit of a resurgence in it's popularity (also known as the "manbun and beard effect) and i'm looking into the varying ways in which people collect/sell/view vinyl today. So i have a quick question... How many of you here either buy Vinyl records, sell Vinyl records or even just have a collection in the garage you forgot about till right now? and if you were to sell, do you know how you would go abou…

Drama Series 1 2
by revbouncer- 35 replies

Gday, just a thread to discuss your fav dramas on the box. Or to suggest good ones for others to suss out for themselves. I find it hard to watch them each week when they're playing on tv so I like to watch a series on my pc so I never miss an episode of what I like. Taste comes into it a lot and what some like, there will be others who don't like the same thing so bare that in mind. I never watched the X-Files when it was running back in the 90's. I saw the odd episode and as a result had no idea of the story line. A few months ago I watched the whole series from start to finish. 10 seasons of it and it was awesome. 9/10 (nothing's perfect) (Alien con…

So it's back or she's back. As a huge Horror fan I have always enjoyed the difference in opinion regarding the original. The prequel is coming in September and just wanted to hear what everyone thought about the original and are you looking forward to the new one? Personally, I liked the original because of the found footage concept and my imagination went into overdrive while watching it. Had they shown the witch, I feel it would have lessened the psychological effect it was having on me. Here is the trailer for the upcoming version:

Assassins Creed Movie

Firstly here's the trailer: Now thoughts. My first thought is that why has the Animus become this virtual reality device when in the game it was just based on memories. Your character didn't need to physically act out what he was doing in the past. It looks like a brand new plot though as none of the console game titles has dealt with the Spanish Inquisition directly although it does match up with Ezio's time frame who had a small dealing with them in an iOS title. If Fassbender is indeed Ezio then I can see that being a crowd pleaser. Obviously very heavy on the CGI which doesn't look like it's up to the standard of some of the more recent bloc…

Blake is dead

Well the actor who played him, Gareth Thomas in Blake's 7 (BBC late 70s / early 80s Sci Fi show), has died. I may well be the only one here who remembers this. I don't know if it ever got showed in other countries. I am still a big fan of Blake's 7, have all 4 series on DVD. It looks very, very dated now. It never had really expensive sets or special effects, so relied on the actors and writers.

What show could suit us?

We (me and Mrs) are struggeling to find a good serie to watch together. We have the obvious problem of her falling asleep after 15 minutes while I keep watching four episodes. But other than that we cant seem to find something good. So far these have worked: Sopranos, Prison break, Sons of anarchy, and Homeland. On my own I have enjoyed Dexter and The walking dead, but they are too violent and unreal (zombie) to suit the Mrs. We can do Modern family and Arrested development, but these comedies dont get one caught, its more a way to fall asleep. Tried House of cards, but uneven episodes and very few characters to like. (Sure didnt help when he wa…

214Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Subservience (2024) dir S.K. Dale Yet another mediocre sci-fi / thriller about AI and human-like robots. Michele Morrone plays Nick, a happily married father of 2 young children, struggling to raise them and do his construction site job since his wife (Madeline Zima) is seriously ill in hospital waiting for a heart transplant. So he buys Alice (Megan Fox), an almost completely life-like home-help / childcare / cook / cleaner robot. There are other similar robots working in many places such as hospitals, bars and construction sites (adding an additional plot element). Without spoilers (although IMHO there really isn't much to spoil) it's hard to say much more. But “stuff happens”, somewhat predictably if you consider the situation of wife in hospital, very hot nanny / maid robot at home etc etc. What is interesting is Alice starts to deviate from what she has been programmed to do, there's tensions with respect to a former colleague of Nick's, and these both lead to a reasonable action style tense ending with fights, shoot-outs and car chases. But overall it can only be described as OK. If you want action then watch an action film with more action than this. If you want drama then watch a drama film with more a more meaningful plot and better acting than this. There's some holes in the plot for me. Other than the robots it looks like present day. There is no other indication that this has to be either somewhat in the future or set in an alternative higher-tech reality. Nick's wife needs a new heart; if they have the technology to make such like-like robots (i.e. one that looks exactly like Megan Fox) then surely they would have mastered artificial organs for humans. Some of the other robots are too lifelike. I can understand Alice's appearance since she is designed to live in a home, although you might want to make such robots a bit less physically tempting a straight male owner. But there's no reason an entire synthetic construction site crew need to actually look like the humans' they replaced. And also no reason for them not be working constantly (the scene we encountered these is when they have been locked away for the night). There's one truly ridiculous aspect for me, for which I have knocked off another point for stupid prudishness. It has couple of mild s*x scenes. In one you can clearly see the actors are naked but without any full-frontal nudity. At one point the woman's breasts are briefly shown, but she has no n*pples! They must have been digitally removed. Why!? It's got enough to make it a 15 certificate, showing a couple of n*pples is surely not going to change that! There is one interesting plot element, but I have to put that with a spoiler warning. 4 / 10- 1

Emilia Perez (2024) dir Jaques Audiard A multi award-nominated musical about a Mexican drug baron who always felt they were a woman born in a man's body. She fakes her own death and has gender reassignment, plus a lot of other plastic surgery, to start a new, better, life in a new identify. She is assisted in all this by her lawyer, Rita and tries to re-establish some sort of relationship with her wife Jessi and kids. Emilia is played by Karla Sofia Gascon (a trans woman) and has been nominated for best leading actress in the Oscars and Baftas. But I would say it is Zoe Saldana, as Rita, who is the main character. Both she and Selana Gomez, as Jessi, have picked up (supporting actress) nominations, as has the director, makeup artists, composers, producers, writers and others in technical roles. It could win all of those. I don't think it will, but I haven't seen that many films released last year yet. It seems to be one that you either love or hate. I suspect a lot of the hate is coming from people who are anti-trans and can't see past that aspect of the film. I liked it, the music and cinematography in particular. The acting was good, but I'm not sure if it was award-winningly good. I also think the script could have been better. It's just over 2 hours long but because it has so many musical scenes that, as is usually case in musicals, don't advance the plot the way spoken dialogue would, it felt to me like it ought to have been longer to fill in some missing details. The musical numbers were good though, sort of similar to a Baz Lurhman film, in that the actors singing them do not necessarily have a great singing voice but also with some scenes that just burst into a massive dancing and singing show that then goes back to dialogue afterwards. And a lot of it is not musical at all. There were a couple of cheesy scenes; one in-particular in a Thai gender reassignment clinic that Rita is checking out before finding the right one, did not make much sense to me. Maybe they were trying to say “this is the popular image of a s*x-change clinic, but in reality it's something far more serious”? Another slightly weak plot element is that Jessi does not recognise her former husband after the surgery. Of course that surgery has made some massive physical changes, that was the point, but even so, would you not pick up on some characteristics of a person you have been married to for years and had kids with? I can forgive that though, put it down to artistic license, in the same way I forgive William Shakespeare frequently making his characters unrecognisable to their friends and family just by doing their hair different and wearing a hat! 8 / 10- 3
