Hi All,
Just started ‘Stephen King’s – The Tommy Knockers’ 1988 edition. While walking in the woods near the small town of Haven, Maine, Roberta (Bobbi) Anderson, a writer of Wild West-themed fiction, stumbles upon a metal object that turns out to be a protrusion of a long-buried alien spacecraft. Once exposed, the spacecraft begins to release an invisible gas into the atmosphere that gradually transforms people into beings similar to the aliens who populated the ship. The transformation, or “becoming,” provides them with a limited form of genius which makes them very inventive but does not provide any philosophical or ethical insight into their inventions. The spacecraft also prevents those affected by it from leaving town, provokes psychotic violence in some people, and causes the disappearance of a young boy, David Brown, whose older brother Hilly teleports him to the planet referred to as Altair 4 by the Havenites.

Three books in one but I enjoyed it over 500 pages….:eagerness:

Hi All,
Last night I watched the Metallica film ‘Through The Never’ an excellent stage show interspersed with a story in the background, Starring:- Dane DeHaan,James Hetfield as himself,Lars Ulrich,Kirk Hammett,Robert Trujillo and Mackenzie Gray……….:cool:

As the rock band Metallica performs a roaring set for fans in a sold-out arena, a young roadie named Trip (Dane DeHaan) is sent on a mission to meet a disabled truck and retrieve a particular item. However, the routine task turns into a surreal odyssey when Trip’s van is hit by another vehicle and he finds himself up against a death-dealing horseman. As Trip flees through desolate streets, he has only his wits to help him avoid the deadly equestrian and deliver Metallica’s cargo.

Hi All,
I watched last night a French with subtitles film ‘Age of Uprising: The Legend of Michael Kohlhaas’ available on BBCi till 04/05. A not to shabby film as the story was easy to follow in the form of a man done wrong takes revenge tale. Starring:- Mads Mickleson (Hannibal Tv Series),Delphine Chuillot,Bruno Ganz,Paul Bartel,Mélusine Mayance,David Bennent,David Kross,Denis Lavant,Sergi López,Amira Casar and Roxane Duran.

During the 16th century, horse dealer Michael Kohlhaas is taking his horses to market. As he passes through a local baron’s lands, the baron seizes two of his horses, even though the right to extract tolls has been abolished in the country. When Kohlhaas discovers that his loyal servant was attacked by the baron’s guard dogs, and that his horses have been injured and abused, he attempts to sue for monetary compensation, but his lawsuit is dismissed because the baron has a kinsman at court. Later, Kohlhaas’s wife dies from injuries suffered at the hands of the baron’s men. Kohlhaas leads a revolt to attack the Baron’s house and then to induce the authorities to administer satisfactory justice.
