Scandroid - Thriller (Fury Weekend Remix)

Dance With The Dead - Hex (Pretty sure the Freakshow like this one)

George Harrison - Only A Dream Away

BTW: if you like mobile games, Lego:Legacy is good fun (if a little repetitive after a while, like most 5x5 turn-duel games). It also has a stunningly good soundtrack.

Assuming you allow Ep VIII to exist, Leia survived in hard vacuum outside a spaceship. I'm not sure whether that was the Force or just the Universe not wanting to argue with Space Mom, because it'd lose. ...I miss Space Mom. Now that is one old-school reference. Well played.

More Norfolk headcanon: we get the odd movie filmed here - my favourite being Stardust (the pub were gutted they didn't get to keep the Slaughtered Prince Mural). But the most famous is Avengers: Age Of Ultron, which caused gasps and gales of laughter when we found out we host the Avengers Mansion. (In real life: the Sainsbury Art Gallery.) So a few of us started messing around with sketches about interactions between the Avengers etc and their Norfolk staff. "Ere, Mr. Doom, yew don't wanna go in thair." "DO NOT SPEAK TO DOOM. AND IT IS DOCTOR DOOM, FOOLISH GARDENER." "Arr, so it is, Mr. Doom. But there's easier ways to break in than through there." "DOOM GOES WHERE HE WISHES, FOR DOOM IS BEHOLDEN TO NO MAN." "Fair enough, Sir, but that's the carnivorous plants I've been working on for Mr. Banner, Sir, and" "AAAAAARGGHHH" "...they ain't been... fed... yet. Huh. ...Well, one less job fer me today"

If anyone working in post-prod on Multiverse of Madness (or at D+) is reading this, DO IT,YOU COWARDS. ...ahem. Out of the Potter cast, Grint and Radcliffe are certainly names, but Matt Lewis (Neville!) has yer actual square-jawed hero looks and an ability for total gawkiness.

I am indeed - and from Norfolk, which is pretty much Airstrip One, and taught your lot at RAF Lakenheath. (Preferred the Marines - straightforward thinkers, but actually read and understood texts and did their assignments on time.) I think we... [quick Google] yep, we had RAF variant Mustangs, though I'm fairly sure we had the cardboard ones too. Side story about my part of the world entered local headcanon for a little while - and is also dragon-and-USAF related. The wonderfully rubbish Reign Of Fire has scenes set in the lonely, desolate mountains of Norfolk, which is slightly flatter than Wisconsin. USAF confirmed to the papers (in best Pentagonese) that to the best of their knowledge and instrument readings, they had not seen any mountains. So there were jokes for months about the mystic hidden mountains, where we teach the secret martial art of Ha-Yu-Roite-Ber.

I really liked the idea of Dimensions and it had a hell of a lot of work put into it. (And while there's a certain charm to having them silent, they did get one hell of a voice cast for that.) But I've never owned a console and it's never come out for other platforms.

Headcanon: something about a fandom that you believe or take on faith, without evidence. Or anyone else backing you up. Because you may be insane. But it makes ya happy. What have you either heard of or come up with lately? One I realised today: David Lightman(Wargames) and Ferris Bueller('s Day Off) are one and the same person. Having saved the world with his l33t haX0r and psychology skills, David gets put into Federal Witness Protection: with a new name, new identity, and newfound unassailable confidence from having confronted nuclear armageddon and won, he becomes a vastly cooler version of his old self (but still can't help hacking/phreaking the school).

There's a lot of villainy out there to be done, y'know. But yes, even at the risk of typecasting, you want a great and glorious bad guy, he's your go-to. (Also: if he ever, ever gets billing for a convention you're thinking of going to, GO. 100%. He might not be the biggest name, but far and away the nicest and funniest in person.)

Inquisitors. Sith temples(?). An unsteady Obi-Wan, hiding out and refraining from using his powers or intervening in the world - much like Gandalf, knowing that the eye of darkness will fall upon him if he does. Good premise... Cast & crew notes: that booming, mocking voice is clearly Rupert Friend. Not quite sure what Kumail Nanjiani's up to in this one (possibly a droid). Fine journeyman actor Joel Edgerton turning up as Owen: expect some friction, maybe friends falling out. Relative newcomer Moses Ingram looks like an Inquisitor (edit: she has a name, Reva - that mean anything to anyone?) on a journey of discovery: perhaps being tempted by the light side? Nobody from the Mando/Boba crew writing or directing on this one. Joby Harold's only major previous credits were Army Of The Dead and King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword, which... don't inspire confidence or hatred. Hannah Friedman's done broad comedy and cartoons. Hossein Amini has many Serious Drama creds and was brought in in post-prod, which reads to me as script surgeon. So: definitely looks the business, just a little worried about the writing crew hewing a little too close to the original Lucas vision (and leaden scripts) for a generation who've had the lighter, fluffier, more kinetic stuff. Will still be watching it, though. Ewan's gonna nail it. Let the wild, unfounded speculation begin...

Considering some of the other stuff that made it to D+ (The Black Cauldron for one), still seems like an odd omission.

Weirdly, Condorman is not on Disney+. I'm not sure whether they're just embarrassed about it or there's some kind of terrible thing I've forgotten in the movie.

Will have to dig that one out. Also, some weirdo called James Gunn had a crack at the same theme a couple of years later. Not sure he went on to have a career.

Well that's just wait what...Hancock is old folks' stuff now? SRC: Titanic_84_Years_Meme.gif alt="ironic_fake_code_tag" Okay, here's a curveball I forgot that's one of my favourites - it should by rights be a cult classic. It's a cape spoof (plus quite a lot aimed at American politics), The Incredibles owes more than a little debt to it, there's terrible Thunderbirds-level SFX, it's even got songs by Richard O'Brien - one of them sung by Christopher Lee... ...and it's Australian. So practically nobody's heard of it. Go find it. Or just watch this bit: Picking up on the spy and cape themes - one quite terrible movie I've loved unironically since I was a kid. Condorman was the first (maybe last) venture of comedian Michael Crawford into Whollyodd, famous for playing an accident-prone milquetoast on British TV (and later for nailing the original West End Phantom of the Opera - hell of a casting choice but one that paid off.) It's a straight rip of From Russia With Love for kids - a gorgeous Russian defector wants to make it to the West, but believes only one person can assure her safety. Unfortunately he's a cartoon, so the CIA recruit his creator as the only person who could act and think like him. It's not great. I could go on about the dialogue, acting, etc. But I'm going to shut up and show you one of the single greatest car chases in cinema history. (With that glorious Henry Mancini music. If I ever have to make a public appearance as a hero, I'm nicking it.)

Christopher Lee - Name Your Poison

We're Nazis on the moon, we carry a harpoon, but there ain't no whales so we tell tall tales and sing this whaling tune... ...wait, is that right?

A most excellent list, especially Galaxy Quest. (Oddly, I'm just getting into The Orville, and it's again the kind of spoof that could only be done by absolutely faithful Trek nerds:.Lower Decks has taken a lot of the ideas and satire and run with it but it's canon. Even the bit about Caitians and boxes.) Speaking of space spoofs, the mighty Mel Brooks. Blazing Saddles: absolutely yes, even with the studio breakout sequence at the end. Young Frankenstein: 100% works. Spaceballs... eh. There's quite a few good gags in here (plaidspeed, the video store, John Hurt's guest shot), but not a cogent plot to hang it all off, some less than convincing acting, and some flat-out joke fails that even Mel himself is ashamed of (Druish Princess for one). List denied. Also, it's inconceivable that no-one's come up with Princess Bride, which as both book and movie is a classic of the fantasy genre while exploring/ripping the hell out of a lot of its conventions (giants, revenge, bad guys, kissy bits and Rodents Of UnusuAAAARGHgetoffyoulittlebas[FX/GRAMS: DW beating ROUS with Mac cooler stand]yeah those.

David Hasslehoff - True Survivor (Kung Fury)

Queen - A Kind Of Magic (Highlander OST Mix)

Episode 1 was Napoli (pizza), Episode 2 was Rome (the four pillars... and quite a lot of pasta). CNN/BBC releasing this during diet season is pure, pure evil. I'm impressed. Also, Big Night and Chef are the two movies that I can happily talk about with pro chefs - I've only ever worked front of house but both feel absolutely real. As for Julie & Julia: yes, very much so. The one trick I think they missed in that movie was rewinding to how Paul & Julia met... Hauling this back slightly on topic... I have now seen Kung Fury. ...and the accompanying, equally terrifying Hasslehoff video (which I just inflicted on the Jukebox thread. Because evil is fun, kids.)

Just slipping this thread a wakie: I'm around L30 on my DP/Traps build now, but having serious problems with END. Without a "sustain power" like the combi stealth/+END from Devices, I've got that runnin' out of blues to use blues... any ideas?

Elfman - and Prince! - will always be the go-to Bat-Soundtrack for my Batmobile moments. That said: this particular Bat-flick has one Michael Giacchino on board. Starts out funereal, turns into something soaring but solemn. Not as instantly catchy, but definitely fits the brief. Side note: I do love the epic, petty, funny rivalry with David Arnold. https://edithbowman.com/2019/10/episode-164-composers-michael-giacchino-and-david-arnold/
