What Live To Projection concerts have you seen and not seen?
Naïve Old Fart replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
Fun fact: you could fit the entire population of Scotland into London, and still have room for three million more people. I mean: are there any JWfaners who happen to live in Scotland planning to go to this? -

Does anyone else live in Scotland? I'm giving very serious consideration to seeing the LTP BLADE RUNNER in Glasgow, this September. -

Some more "What a helpful chap" "Moneypenny, next time I see you, I going to put you over my knee" "On yoghurt and lemon juice? I can hardly wait" "What happened?" "He got the boot!" "In London, April's a spring month" "Oh, yeah? What are you, the weather man?" "Put him on the next flight to Moscow... in the diplomatic bag" "What did he promise you? His heart? Give her his heart" "What an terrible waste... of money" "You think you're in some banana republic? All that scumbag money won't do you a bit of good, here" ... and my favourite: "WE'RE NOT A COUNTRY CLUB, 007!"

@Edmilson, have you seen the video for 'Start Me Up', but without music? Funny as. -

I'm confused. Is it meant to sound like this? -
A teeny weeny bit harsh, my friend, but no less true. My favourite McNeely is still THE AVENGERS.

THE MUMMY RETURNS LAUGH! as you realize that the CGIs are actually worse than they were, two years before SMILE WRYLY! at the sight of a CGI Scorpion King being a better actor than its live action counterpart CRINGE! as poor ol' John Hannah is still a dick, for trying to be funny. Stick to rom-coms, and Rebus, my man BE DISAPPOINTED! because Rachel Weisz is definitely not as hot as she was, in the original ADMIRE! Alan Silvestri's score. It's no way as good as Jerry's, but it channels a little bit of Jerry, a soupçon of JW, and a shedload of Rózsa COVER YOUR EYES! at the sight of a topless Arnold Vasloo. Honestly, dude, no-one needs to see that LOOK PUZZLED! at the thought that someone in Hollywierd thought that The Rock could act DON'T GIVE ANY SHITS! as you cannot be bothered to care about anything happening on screen THANK WHATEVER DEITY YOU WORSHIP! as the end credits start to roll What the chuffin' 'eck was all that about?! -

Wise words, @JTN. Why venerate someone who you have never met (or are ever likely to), just because you like their work output? For all we know, JW could be a truly nasty little shit, and his public persona is bigged up for the fans. I'm pretty certain that this is not the case. JW seems to be a genuine and very personable man, but... what if it was true? Would that change people's perception of JW? Would people carry on listening to his music knowing that he really was an awful individual? "Never meet your heroes", goes the saying. I live by that, and I want to know nothing about them. If I "know" JW at all, it will be through listening to his music.

@Mr. Hooper, 6.23.1989 is a date that is also forever seared into my brain, but, I can assure you, for a very different reason. Anyhoo... I saw BATMAN on Saturday 6.24, in the USA, and, due to severe jet lag, I watched it in a kind of dream state. Two things I remember about the showing are: 1/ the sound was terrible... and it wasn't because of any inadequacy of the theatre. This has been borne out in subsequent DVD and Blu releases. I much prefer the 30th anniversary mix. 2/ the audience applauded at the shot of the Batwing suspended in front of the moon. It's a stunning shot; not in its execution (Derek Meddings' effects are not much better than what he did for THUNDERBIRDS. ILM must have been laughing all the way to the Oscar™), but in its design. All in all, it was a surreal experience... and I went back to see it twice more during the Summer, and I purchased it on VHS, the following November. In every single way, BATMAN RETURNS is the far superior film, but because of how, when, and where I saw it, BATMAN will always take precedence.

On a tangent, I know, but... I'd really like to hear a clean, full version of the Indian music that is danced to, in Pankot Palace.
