  1. There's some fantastic stuff there, @filmmusic, but I'll single out VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED as a British classic.

    Brilliant script (can you believe that the man who wrote this also wrote THE SWARM?!), fine acting, and well creepy kids (who looked that way because platinum blonde wigs were placed on children with brown eyes).

    "You're thinking of... a brick wall!"

    Excellent choices, all round.

    I miss those "ALL THE CAST" little squares at the bottom of the posters. Obviously my favorite one was... Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

     

    My favourite is THE TOWERING INFERNO, followed closely by EARTHQUAKE.

    Whatever one says about the film, some of the shots in ST:TMP, are jaw-droppingly beautiful.

  3. "No! Stay!"

     

    "Sheet"

     

    "If you go there, you are crossing over to a place where there is no mercy"

     

    "Visionaries. Psychiatric wards are full of them"

     

    "No, I think I'll call you 'C'... C"

     

    "Now we know what 'C' stands for... 'careless'"

    I'd see that as a somewhat non-progressive stance, but depends why you would think that.

     

    I.e. a female Bond is a change to tradition and I suspect most people don't have an issue with it being a male actor. Some other stuff in other news has just wound me up a bit with regards to general sexism - I'm not suggesting they should be rushing to cast someone non traditional. Whereas if it's the black aspect, that's more of a problem.

     

    If I don't want to see a rebooted Star Trek, with Uhura played by a white man, does that make me a sexist, misogynist dinosaur?

  5. "Miss Tessmacher, when I was six years old, my father said to me -"

    "Get out!"

    "Ha ha ha ha. Before that, he said: 'Son, stocks may rise and fall, utilities and transportation systems may collapse, people are no damn good, but they will always need land, and they will pay through the nose to get it. Remember', my father said, 'land'".
