Reading (1988-1989)
Nottingham (1989-present)
Not lived many places, still live in the same house I moved into when I was 1.
I enjoyed school, both primary and secondary. Sometimes I do miss it.
I never went to prom, because we didn’t really have one at either school.
At Christmas we had a school disco at primary school which was fun, me and this guy Daniel used to nick sweets from the DJ.
We used to do a class party at secondary school and go to restaurants and stuff at Christmas but a prom or disco was a bit difficult because they didn’t have room for it: my secondary school was in an old church building and wasn't really suitable.
They moved out of the church the year I left….then sadly the school closed down for good a few years later and the place they moved to is now a housing estate.
From what I heard even Ian Fleming was a bit iffy about the Spy Who Loved Me and the Bond movie producers had an agreement with him they wouldn't do it faithfully as a movie.
Well it’s popular so I guess they’ll keep making them:
Talking of Agatha Christie her play ‘The Mousetrap’ has been running continuously in the West end since 1952, one year before the novel Casino Royale and 10 years before the first movie Dr No.
Personally though, whilst I love James Bond (books and movies) I sort of wonder if maybe Bond movies should go into a hiatus for a decade or longer.
Come back in the future, new actor, new producers, fresh ideas etc
I don’t mind Billy Joel although wouldn’t call myself a big fan:
I thought Piano Man and Uptown Girl were ok.
But I’m most familiar with ‘High Fidelity’ by Daft Punk aka ‘Billy Joel’s Just The Way You Are’ but sliced up and rearranged into complete gibberish lol.
Slightly off topic from the actual thread discussion, but does MI really have to depend on Tom Cruise?
Could there ever be a post-Cruise MI which went back to its roots as a TV show and a team of people solving missions?
Maybe because ordinary cars have come on along way since this film was made in the late 70s.
The MK1 Golf Jane Fonda drove was a seen as a pretty good car back in the day and a bit of a game changer being a front drive hatchback.
The 1960 instrumental ‘Apache’ by Jerry Lordan was inspired by the 1954 Western movie ‘Apache’ starring Burt Lancaster.
The movie it's self was based on the novel ‘Bronco Apache’ by Paul Wellman.
So I guess Paul Wellman is responsible for sowing the seeds of Hip Hop’s national anthem ‘Apache’ by the Incredible Bongo Band.
The main vocal hook in the 1999 song ‘Right here right now’ by Fatboy Slim was sampled from the movie ‘Strange Days’ when Angela Bassett says
“This is your life, right here right now”.
Here, check it out :)

The original Thief games (Dark Project, Metal Age and Deadly Shadows)
Lara? as in Lara Croft?
And what's LINO?
I'm sick of all of the mainstream ones:
I know there memorable and catchy and some are well made to be fair, but do we really have to spend every Christmas repeating the same old song's?
Can't we have some new ones and maybe a lot less of the old ones?
Maybe your tastes have just changed or you’ve just watched them too much or something.
Personally I’ve never understood what the big fuss is about with Star Wars movies: I’ve always found them boring and hammy.
No offence but this thread would be so much easier to read if it wasn't just a massive wall of text
I wouldn’t say I hate Christmas, I'm just bored of the repetitiveness of doing the same shit year in year out.
In a way I sort of wish we could celebrate Christmas in a new way: kind of give the Christmas holiday a refresh.
I don’t mind the consumerism nor the whole birth of Jesus stuff, but I’m sick of Santa Claus, reindeer, the tree, the silly decorations and the same old song’s replayed year in year out and the whole pretending we’re in a sort of oldie worldie magic land.
Apart from the soundtrack, I wouldn’t rate SNF highly personally.
I’ve tried several times to get into it but I personally find this movie tedious and depressing and boring.
I’m a HUGE Disco music fan so it’ll be hard picking one song
I’ll try to maybe post some Disco song’s that perhaps some of you haven’t heard before instead of just the obvious ones.
Lorraine Johnson- Feel the Flame

Martin Circus- Disco Circus

Double Exposure- Everyman

(Oh and since someone mentioned Sophie Ellis Bexter who famously sang on Spillers ‘Groovejet’, here’s the original Disco song that ‘Groovejet’ is based on)
Carol Williams- Love Is You

What about Eric Cartman in South Park?
South Park is a sitcom still on the air and I recall the shows creators saying they based Cartman on Archie Bunker, which makes sense what with all the antisemitic and racist views that character has lol.
