A friend in work had that same feeling as a kid, that nuclear war was something that was very very likely. We both live in Northern Ireland, he's only three years younger than me, yet I was only concerned (not worried, we didn't live in one of those areas) with The Troubles at the time.

I guess the Stormtroopers would be ordered to do something like that to her, given how the series is tied to the films.

The X-Files episode was Ice, excellent early episode. Wikipedia says it was based on the short story "Who Goes There?", which was in turn the basis for The Thing.

Arnie couldn't really say anything when they pulled out that tape of him turning his guns on a giant ape.

"The apathetic dubbing, which sometimes sounds as though a few people are watching the screen and just shouting any lines that come to mind based on what’s happening onscreen."

It's annoying when a film concentrates too much on a maguffin, especially since subs at sea are tense enough already. Reject sub with a reject captain on an important mission sounds like it would do the job as is.

Also, paramilitaries in Northern Ireland!

Does it make any difference that you just can't shoot a HK film in the HK that Woo shot all his older films in any more?

The Top Gear episode that was shot on the set of the film would be more entertaining it seems.

So, I shouldn't bother with Community then? All I've really seen of it are the two Inspector Spacetime sketches and the review above.

He's certainly happier looking there than I've seen him look in any promotional material or films. Maybe there really is something to this water.

There was another 80s machine that had a command that would cause a physical switch to be thrown, switching between video modes I think, if done quickly and repeatedly you really could programme it to self destruct.

Trying to respond to It can be two things (oh Disqus) I thought that was one more to add to Ridley Scott's list of things in development hell?

Touching, which is why I romanced Tali.

Agreed, not enough Trek of any sort.

He was in Roobarb and Custard too though, just to lighten the mood. But then by sad coincidence, the animator for that series died a few days ago too.

It's reasonably certain that the city is Belfast (there were only three Northern Irish cities at the time, Armagh is land locked and there's nothing worth stealing in Derry), today the barmen you're more likely to be served by are students, who are often guided by the mistaken belief that Guinness should be served in…

We're meant to believe the French are nonplussed by the whole fuss, but I can't help feel they're jealous of meals where 100% of the meat is actual meat and horse meat of all things.

Will John Williams die? Well the guy who choreographed the light sabre fights and the illustrator who went to on to design Vader, the Droids and other things are both dead, why not finish it off and destroy the last person who provided the heart of the original trilogy?
