What Assault on Precinct 13? Brilliant film! Watch if you can one day (the original) - one of my all time favourites. Very tense with the odd comedic bits.

One of my all time favourite films too. It has one of those 'one hit wonder' central performances by a bloke called Darwin Joston. Such a shame he was in sod all else.

The theme tune seems to be used a lot in comedy. Brooker used it in his 2015wipe and it used to crop up a lot on Banzai years ago.

The remake was ok until the end when the cop lets the murderous gangster go because he's a bit cool. F**k off!

Two Ronnies Christmas Show from - um - some time in the past.

Just finished watching "Behind the Candelabra", the biopic of Liberace and made me wonder why the Daily Mirror didn't ever try to get their money back from his estate when it all came out that he was gay and that Cassandra, in that paper at the time, was correct when pointing this out in the late 50s and should never have lost the libel case, brought by Liberace, in the first place.

She must have been a child prodigy as she was only in her 20s when she was in Only Fools and Horses.

You mean to say that Liberace was gay?

He can't be gay, he was at Wrestlemania.

I watched Two Mules for Sister Sara last night. as it's a Don Siegel/Clint Eastwood collaboration I thought I'd like it more. It started well but went a bit generic at the end. Shirley MacClaine looked sort of hot dressed up as a nun!

I'm watching the excellent King Boxer (or 5 Fingers of Death) on film4, but tired and need to go to bed. To be honest I've got it on DVD anyway.

You've got all your facts wrong mate. I've read the official report of Wolfenden versus Whitehouse. PK Proby split his trousers while giving evidence and was ushered out by the bunny girls. Then Kevin Tynan presented extracts from his article in Oz magazine "Prick Up Your 'Effin Ears". In the second week, Jenkins gave an impassioned speech about his special relationship with Lovelace and Lucan. And Raquel got her kit off as the judge behind closed doors read chapters of "Jesus Christ Superstar - Lady Chatterley's Lover or Just Another Female Eunuch?". It was at that point that Liberace turned up with his boyfriend to sing Candle in the Wind. That in turn led to Parliament deciding to ban the years 1960 to 1966 and to move directly from 1959 to 1967.

Live At The Apollo.

Mrs.Henderson Presents. Love it.

V.Good.

Labyrinth on Channel 5. The film with David Bowie as King of the Goblins.

Great film, and so is/was the Commodore 64 game that my son and I took weeks to complete.

I've seen the pornographic remake, Labiarinth starring David Blowie as the (fuc)king of blowjoblins.

War and Peace - warming up nicely now, but still have to explain to my wife who is who. >_<
