  • Well it was a lighthearted post, it's just odd that all three adverts have the exact same 'diverse combination'

  • What it comes down to is that Americans are happy to put up with random mass shootings as long as they can keep their precious gun laws. Just about sums it up when it wouldn't bother our American friend if someone was armed with a handgun in a 'r…
  • USA - 5% of the world population, yet apparently around 31% of mass shootings occur there. Disproportionate in the extreme wouldn't you agree? Talk about a country burying it's head in the sand.

  • Brawl In Cell Block 99 (2017) Vince Vaughn (him of light comedies) is so intense in this he almost burns a hole in the screen. It's an intimidating performance and even early on you feel his character has enormous violence inside waiting to erupt…

  • I went all killer clown for our Halloween party. Tried to copy the IT clown make up. Didn't come out too badly....
  • You've seen a good number. Also check out his two early low budget offerings, Dark Star (a very funny and imaginative science fiction comedy co-written with Dan O'Bannon the writer of ALIEN who also stars) and Assault On Precinct 13 (a tense and …

  • The cool thing about Alien was the mystery of the empty ship, the Space Jockey and those damn weird eggs in a seemingly never ending chamber. It's part of the appeal the not knowing. the mystery. I have avoided Covenant for this reason and from t…
  • If there's one thing the 89 Batman film got right it was the music. Elfman nailed it big time, producing one of the best ever superhero scores. (The theme is also used for Batman: The Animated Series) Some of his later work was a bit meh.
