"you massive gay shite"

It does judder though when the train reaches the camera - as if the train was bashing into a lightweight dolly that was mounted on the tracks. It's an odd shot, it seems strangely truncated.

That's a fascinating mental image, but one I didn't need to have while eating lunch.

"Buzz off!"

"All you have to do is put on this skin-tight costume and fire white wee-wee at me".

I remember a pretty dull film called The Satan Bug, that had a good title sequence with a neat dissolve at the end:

I'm sorry, I didn't read the article, I was mesmerised by Beyonce's dress. What was the question again? What country does music come from?

Three chords, a drum machine, *and the truth*.

Meanwhile one of the venue's co-owners, a chap called Derick Ion, posted on Facebook that "everything I worked so hard for is gone. Blessed that my children and Micah [his partner] were at a hotel safe and sound… it's as if I have awoken from a dream filled with opulence and hope… to be standing now in poverty of self

"Honey, I Shrunk New York"

And his boss is called Roberta - and the villain is named after David Bowie's character from The Man who Felt to Earth. It's as if the screenwriters have generated the character names by flicking a coin.

You might be thinking of Split Second, which came out in 1992 and had Rutger Hauer in a flooded future London. It resembled a Sisters of Mercy video and was *yet another* British action film that was supposed to show those Hollywood types how it was really done.

I remember being disappointed with Total Recall. As the article points out it looked surprisingly shitty for a film that cost $60m - the modelwork was like Logan's Run - and the action felt by-the-numbers. The sci-fi plot was more complex than Robocop but not really any deeper than a typical ST:TNG episode, and the
