CHTrilogy

I remember seeing the 2003 version of The Cat in the Hat when I was little. I didn't get many of the jokes back then, but now I'm older... I have to say, it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life! Somehow it even hypnotised my sister into thinking the SLOW was in the book somewhere!!

Jim Carrey's The Grinch was far better - and a lot more dignified!

A promising start!

Did anyone else catch the little extra episode "The Five-ish Doctors" they aired during 'the after party'? It was a fun little romp and I can probably talk about it without throwing spoilers around everywhere

I've seen a little bit, but haven't quite managed to catch it yet.

Well... they did not disappoint!

Anyone gonna see and Adventure in Space and Time?

EDIT: Seen it, cried my eyes out.

Yeah, I saw it. A very moving biopic.

The Avoncroft Museum have been holding a day dedicated to Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary today, and they had it all: joining their original Police Box, they got full-scale Daleks, Cybermen, Weeping Angels, much classic memorabilia - they even got John Leeson, the voice of K-9! I got his autograph! And another from Bob Baker (not only K-9's creator, but also a scriptwriter for Wallace & Gromit - speaking of a Grand Day Out!) On top of all that they also put on a little show narrated by the War Doctor, featuring 7, 9, 10 and 11. I must've spent at least £100 on several books, and a LIMITED EDITION of the Big Finish audio drama "The Light at the End", which features all the surviving Doctors and companions from the original series. It came with several discs and a booklet... this whole day has been a blast!

Awesome! But does it actually work?

Ah... that'd explain everything.

Also, just seen The Science of Doctor Who - as well as a trailer for An Adventure in Space and Time; can't wait to see that! I'll see if I can catch An Unearthly Child too.

Oh, did they? I must've missed that.

I am flabbergasted!! Totally unexpected! And so John Hurt truly IS the Ninth Doctor! (Only the next lot has been denying his existence up til now.) ...and that means the Twelfth Doctor is the final one...

So we might be seeing the Last Great Time War at last?!

-Cannibal Holocaust

Horrific imagery, most of which was NOT staged

Oh God... oh God... that one nearly drove me insane... and I only watched a review!

^ Oh, man, Titanic: The Animated Musical... I remember watching that review and wondering how something so awful could have possibly even been filmed. Never heard of the other animated musical, though.

Oh, gosh. I just watched Nostalgia Critic's review of the other musical. Why... just... why.

And I honestly thought that octopus was going to haunt my nightmares! And the ending - what a cop-out!

Well it's going to be at mine! At least I think it is.... probably going to stay at home and watch it though.

An unexpected style of manga, but nonetheless it's pulled off very well!

Recently got the soundtrack to the film Ed Wood. Brilliant score, the title theme actually sends a chill or two down my spine!

What, AGAIN?!?! This must be like what, the fifth time the site's been hacked! What makes BZP such an easy target?!?!

True, true. I've said more than enough on the matter.

^ The one with Malcovich?

No, the one with McDowell.

Am I allowed to mention this one? I subjected myself to the very rare and extraordinarily pornographic film Caligula. Though it was the "pre-release" version I watched which deleted most of the explicit scenes, it still needed a lot of work before it even began to represent what Gore Vidal had written. All a clash between three creative minds. And anyway I started to miss Peter O'Toole and John Gielgud near the end.

 

Like Malcolm McDowell?

I think he's more Master materiel.

 

Now that you mention it... that is a plausibility.

Like Malcolm McDowell?

Hm... That is a tempting offer...

Oh, I couldn't! It's the only one in existence, who knows what I'd end up doing with it?

Ah, I see.

It also occurs to me that this year is the latest time point in Dimensions in Time. And so much has changed in Albert Square to make that special totally inaccurate! Both Pauline and Kathy are dead, for one thing. And the Queen Vic was rebuilt. But at least Sharon's there at the right time....

The only bright side to all this is that no-one will read my negative jibe at Monty Python's later work. (I'm actually starting to like a lot of their work - at least, what I've seen so far - and since The Life of Brian is in the Criterion Collection, it's for good reason!)

And while I think of it, nobody will see how I single-handedly ended a comedy with a misunderstanding... I didn't know that was just a joke!
