You’re a political animal Edmund. You have the eye for human weakness, not the stomach.

Or, same movie

“Want me to throw him out Doll?

LAPD, take a walk S***bird before I call your wife to come and collect you”

personally, I don’t like them as a rule

and prefer military schemes but, I have nothing but respect for the take on this by Mr Flack and the “really, what colour is yours?” view. So, until I sign a cheque for the required warbird to be built, painted and flown (Oh, I and learn to fly it….) I bow to the restorers, owners, and in this day, required sponsors – and just watch them fly in polka dots if needed……

Lucas always had 7 “chapters”

7 was “rebuilding the republic” etc, IIRC none of the regulars wanted in, he was “exhausted” so they never did it. The new stuff now, TV show in the making, clone wars etc is “new”.

I still think he is a bit of a fop and gets way too involved with his re-makes, and “extra special effects” etc. shame, I can still remember queuing an age in 1977 to see the first one,

still – may flop out with “JFK” on Thursday – am waiting at home for a parcel-farce delivery, between 8 am and 6 pm…. may as well watch a 4 hr movie !?

Today on the sick note parade

Star Wars – Revenge Of The Sith.

Doesn’t get any better with time – I still think Mr Lucas has a lot to answer for, 2 outstanding original films (Star Wars & Empire Strikes Back) then he insists on writing scripts with laughable dialogue and a stream of passing characters designed I’m sure to sell toys.

Give me “Episode IV” any day…. and Luke Skywalker is a big girl’s blouse and Han Solo is, and always will be the Man……

I’m in

thats two of us then ! Bit less popular than the Tooting Popular Front but it will grow I’m sure

Today, L.A Confidential

Masterpiece of film making. I find James Ellroy books next to impossible to read, this film version is superb, long complex plot, well acted, throwing you curveballs all the way through – and I still jumped when Kevin Spacey got shot.

There is too much damage to do a Corsair style job on it. It also needs to have the fabric removed as it is coming away in many places, and will cause more problems than if we leave it alone.

Bruce

D’oh – never thought of that – any snapshot in its history that can be accurate for the purists and preserves the airframe can only be good for everybody. Its a national treasure, nothing less.

Hope it goes well – will come back up in the spring with BSG junior now he is allowed out again !
