A friend of mine owns the "Chitty" DVD -- but be forewarned, at the time he bought it was only available in Full Screen. I believe a widescreen version is coming out shortly. It is available already in a special edition over 2 discs (released as of November 25th - last Thursday). This rel...

Unfortunately I have been unable to get out to the cinema to see Kill Bill but will definitely be getting the DVD the day it is available. I have long been a fan of the main genres that Kill Bill apparently pays homage to, and in particular the Hong Kong wire-fu and swordplay films (Shaw brothers, L...

I loved the line I heard from a Montreal Comedy Festival performer...

"If we are all God's children, then what's so special about Jesus?"

Otis, your excitement is rubbing off on me. The 2 Sydney shows for February are already sold out, but I'll see what I can do about going. I phoned when the Sydney shows were first advertised, but at something in the order of $95 for the cheap seats and $174 for the not so cheap seats I thought to m...

I thought he was excellent in "Trading Places".

Yes, I have to say that the better team on the day won. I can't help feeling though, that it was Australia's poor performance in the line-outs that lost it for them. All in all though, probably the best game of rugby I have had the pleasure to watch... although for sheer excitement, it still does no...

I get the very occassional migraine and although not by any means severe, I have found that if I drink a very very strong cup of black coffee laced with copious amounts of sugar the moment my vision starts to become impaired, then the severity of the inevitable headache is greatly reduced and the fe...

Round Midnight" (Jazz classic featuring a Herbie Hancock score) Are Australian dvds region 2? If so, I know where to look for this dvd, I've been wanting to get it for years. Australian DVDs are region 4 encoded, although quite often they are region 2 and 4 encoded (probably due to the fact th...

Yes, as a froteur, I must concur!

Tim(e), have you considered putting out a book of your concert experiences? :D I had actually considered writing a "diary" of my London experience, but unfortunately what wasn't erased as it happened has been buried under the rubble of what was once a reasonably well functioning brain :?

Tim(e) - You're just trying to make everyone jealous aren't you. Isn't that the point of these kinds of threads... I was just being obliging :wink: Oh, and just be thankful I didn't also mention: Led Zeppelin at Earls Court Pavillion 1975 Traffic and Lou Reed at the Rainbow Theatre, Finsbury Park (...

I take it that you never heard "Get Yer Ya-Yas Out"?

Actually, one band I forgot to mention that has really rocked my socks in recent times is the Brian Setzer Orchestra. Another band that should be mentioned and who released one of the all-time (imho) great US rock albums in Volunteers, is of course Jefferson Airplane. And while we are at it, Captain...
