BiggieTembo 19th Jun 2015		DVD Anger Management - Columbia TriStar (2003)	Goosfraba
BiggieTembo 5th Jun 2015		DVD Airplane! - Paramount (2001)	McCroskey: Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffin' glue!
BiggieTembo 5th Jun 2015		DVD Airplane! - Paramount (2001)	Johnny: Me John... Big tree!
BiggieTembo 5th Jun 2015		DVD Aeon Flux - Paramount (2006)	Agree. Not a bad stab at the pretty-much unfilmable animation series, though.
BiggieTembo 1st Jun 2015		DVD The Glenn Miller Story - Universal (2007)	To be fair Miller's music is the only Big Band stuff I can stomach. It has a riffy feel to it, like some of Thelonious Monk's abstract jazz piano tunes. Not just all that blah blah blah waaa waaa waaaa! show-stopper easy listening stuff.
BiggieTembo 1st Jun 2015		DVD Kenny Everett : The Complete Naughty Bits - Fremantle Media (2004)	I think I'll leave this well alone, and preserve the recollections of laughing my ass off when I was a kid. I'm frightened that I'll destroy the memories forever. Like when I went to Amsterdam first time at 18. I went again when I was 38. Shouldn't have done that :-/
BiggieTembo 1st Jun 2015		DVD The Hound Of The Baskervilles [1959] - MGM (2004)	It's just that Hammer thing. Like a genre all by itself. So many good films came out of that production entity. Glad that they re-vamped it with the freakin' scary Woman In Black recently x-o
BiggieTembo 1st Jun 2015		DVD The Italian Job - Paramount (2002)	Yeah, me too. My first experience with an open ending. Did they get out? Could they sort of organise themselves with balance and jump out, all at the same time, but that would mean letting the gold and the bus plummet down the cliff? Mum! All kinds of physical conundrums went through my head as a kid. It was a real issue for my young, enquiring mind :-s
BiggieTembo 1st Jun 2015		DVD The Hound Of The Baskervilles [1959] - MGM (2004)	Yeah, this is the Hammer version. Good movie too ;-)
BiggieTembo 1st Jun 2015		DVD The Glenn Miller Story - Universal (2007)	Great film - great soundtrack LP too (by the Universal Studios Orchestra - not the Glenn Miller Orchestra). Don't get the re-processed for stereo versions though - sounds like you're listening to it underwater!
BiggieTembo 1st Jun 2015		DVD The Damned United - Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (2009)	- Who the bloody 'ell d'ye think you are? - Brian Clough!
BiggieTembo 31st May 2015		Blu-ray Walkabout - Universal (2012)	I know I'm going to start an iconoclastic internet sh*t-storm here, but I cannot see anything special about Felicity Kendall. The roles she played were mediocre and boring, her voice was whiny and she reminded me of a helpless/manipulative little girl who always wrapped her Daddy round her little finger, got away with it, and therefore did the same to all her character-husbands after that (I'm of course talking about her roles, and not her personally). You might as well vote Penelope Keith as the sexiest star of the 70s and 80s. Or Mary Whitehouse. Or Mrs Thatcher.
BiggieTembo 31st May 2015		Blu-ray Walkabout - Universal (2012)	She contributed to mine too, in Logan's Run
BiggieTembo 30th May 2015		DVD Diff'rent Strokes: The Complete First Season - Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (2004)	Of course it was patronising drivel - like most American TV is! There was talk of a "curse" on this show - all the characters ended up in very unfortunate circumstances/illnesses/brushes with the law/spending time at Her Majesty's pleasure sort of things later in life.
BiggieTembo 30th May 2015		DVD Diff'rent Strokes: The Complete First Season - Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (2004)	What you talkin' 'bout Willis!
BiggieTembo 29th May 2015		VHS Dune - 4 Front (1999)	Where are We now, What was that, Who Is that and what Is He Doing, How Did they get there so fast. What Is going ON Hey Henry you just described the political situation in the UK right now
BiggieTembo 28th May 2015		DVD Oh Mr Porter - ITV DVD (2007)	Best British Comedy Film EVER! Laughed my ass off when I was a kid - still laugh my ass off today. Sample dialogue: Jeremiah Harbottle: Next train's gone! William Porter: That train's over a hundred years old! Jeremiah Harbottle: And she's good for another 100! (Train explodes) Old bloke at edge of field: You're wasting your time!
BiggieTembo 11th May 2015		DVD Gov't Mule - Concert At Higher Ground, Winooski, Vt. 02/10/1999	Hey Kab the images you've posted lately look like they're home-made. They use the same fonts and layouts, and look like they have been made with Paint or something. Are these bootlegs or home-tapings you've just made a mock-up cover for?
