bamber Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 This was the first record I ever owned. Bought by my parents at Woolworths for me with their own hard earned cash. Bless them for that. It is reputedly about Marijuana, the thought never occurred to me at the time, obviously, but it may explain a lot in hindsight. Still like it. The first record I ever bought with my own (pocket) money was this, form Virgin in Swansea, which was a special room if ever there was one. Still like it.

Anyway, this was the best comic: Were you a Whizz-kid or Chip-ite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1986 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 If only the actual film thread had this much film talk, I'd be loving it. For what it's worth best Pixar is Wall-e and Toy Story 2 is the most under rated in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Toy Story 2 is just straight up the best pixar film closely followed by Monsters Inc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelzoid Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Wall-E is #1 Ratatouille is so underrated And Up is soooo overrated. Yes, a heartbreaking opening, but by halfway we're watching a bunch of talking dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the first act raised the bar in terms of emotion and character realism, and in a way sets us up for a film we don't actually get. Too much bathos.

Hugh Jass Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Another hot take: Was thinking about this earlier and have concluded that the Killers’ headline set this year knocks Macca out of third place in my all time top three headline sets. Blur and Adele unchallenged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjamest Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 One of the hottest, sweatiest, most enjoyable gigs i have been to is still The Ordinary Boys supported by the Subways and Hard Fi about 15 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 I love a bit if ABBA. I've seen Bjorn Again every time they've played Glastonbury and am partial to watching Mamma Mia when I'm a bit pissed. I've seen the stage show too (I was then more than a bit pissed). It was a lot of fun and most of the tunes are bulletproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, PJ Harvey - tried on more than one occasion but I just can't see the appeal. Agreed - Singing in the Rain the West End was sublime. Young Frankenstein was absolutely hilarious with some great songs. Enjoyed Book of Mormon last weekend too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some people didn't embrace it due to animation. Oh definitely. Puts people straight into "oh it's only a cartoon for kids" mindset. Bizarre really. If you've not seen it, the one I'd put up to rival it from a comic book perspective is Ninja Batman. Watched it at the weekend on Netflix, bloody wonderful stuff.
