I saw The Cramps! In Tiajuana no less! No lie! One of the best, craziest, scariest, most fun shows of all time. Awesome weird crowd mix of punks, locals, bikers, college kids…

And also the old movie showcase "Screening Room". Whoever was the programmer of that one knew their stuff.

TRAVELLER is a great call-out.

THE NAKED CIVIL SERVANT is great, and there is at least one filmed sequel, AN ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK (which I haven't seen, but which is available on netflix disc service)… there may have been other Crisp pieces for the stage.

Completely agree. Expertly done, well performed, terrific production… but still a very standard exercise of the basic horror "trapped-survive-fight-escape" plot we've seen too many times.

Godspeed good sir!

The cop-slaughter in T1 was something different entirely for the era. Really a before-and-after type of moment in 80's dystopia. (Clockwork Orange too artful… Death Wish, etc, too dumb. Robocop a few years away. Fort Apache the Bronx and Precinct 13 just re-worked plots from sheriff-takes-a-stand Westerns.)
