That wasn't the point. I said clearly that absence of evidence doesn't make for proof or disproof. Because I don't believe in the religionists concept of 'god' , it doesn't follow that I must therefore believe in your arse-dwelling imp, nor in any other construct for that matter. Nor do I feel...

For what it's worth, my feelings are that Xtian fundies and hard-core atheists both fall into the trap of making the same mistake: professing absolute certainty on a matter in which there cannot be any certainty whatsoever, because there's literally no hard evidence on either side. Absence of...

You can't erase history, nor re-write it to suit current sensibilities. Do that long enough, you end up with Winston Smith's 'memory hole', where the past is altered every day to suit the needs of the reigning nabobs of the moment. Use the statues and monuments as a touchstone and focal point...

I've also tried using Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, on another computer than my own, and still don't see that selection when I bring up my profile page on the site.

I'm still not seeing the 'sync' selection. I'm using Google Chrome browser on a Linux operating system at home, but when I've opened my account on Firefox or Chrome under Windows elsewhere, it's still not showing up.

Too bad Stanley Kubrick won't be around for this conspiracy goldmine.... Not crazy about the remake, and didn't much like the tv adaptation, but for the fact that Curry killed it as Pennywise and I don't think he can be bested. The new Pen looks more like yet another take on the Heath Ledger...

The guest cast list sounds like reason enough alone to watch--especially Palmer and Bowles, two actors whose work I've always enjoyed. And Peter Wyngarde!

Wild. I've never heard of this one, but the title sequence alone hooked me, so I suppose I'm going to have to look it up--thanks for shooting another weekend, lol!

King has a genuine knack for characterization, and he also has a talent for creating subtle chills when he's at his best. The thing that irks me about too much of his work, both in the novel and short story genres, is that he cannot seem to stay away from the all-too-frequent urge to pile on the...

Suffered from weird casting--I loved Freddie Jones' creepy Wanless (okay, I love Freddie Jones in anything), but Barrymore never did much for me as a child actress, and it's a certainty that Sheen and Scott should have switched roles--anyone who's read the book can see why. And Keith was never...

You have to wonder why too. Any American actor who's halfway competent at accents should be able to do a decent one; I work with a lovely British lady at my job who has what I suppose would be called 'middle-class London or immediate suburbs' accent (definitely neither Cockney nor RP, nor yet...

Try to watch this one in order, starting with the 30-minute episodes. IMO, probably the best of the wave of telly spy shows that broke over the public in the wake of the 007 craze; although Dangerman had its share of exotic locales, cunning villains and slinky babes, the tone of the series was...

And speaking of Euro song fests, there's another one hit wonder I love that came to one-hit-wonderdom via the competition: 'Eres Tu' by Mocadades.

Some love for the always fine Henry Darrow, as Harry's first police ally Manny Quinlan, is also in order; but I agree the chemistry between Zerbe and Janssen was terrific. I rank this as one of the three in my personal Holy Triumvirate of seventies detective series, up there with Columbo and The...

99 Red Baboons, lol. I liked the German version better, but considering she sang the English version completely phonetically, the song was kind of a wonder in more ways than one.

I did, and I'd like to see it again. Not a smart decision on the Beeb's part to give them the brush-off like that, but it surely didn't hurt either them career wise at all. Ever see Laurie performing jazz? Just another reason to hate those university renaissance types, lol.

Every time I see Laurie in his earlier, British comic incarnations I'm that much more stunned by his versatility with his performance as House. And Stephen Fry is one of the best writers as well as actors of his generation (geez, I envy these multi-talented Oxbridge fellers). This and their...

Watch something like Manos: The Hands of Fate, and it'll make you realize that Wood, while inept, may not actually have been that bad after all. Glen or Glenda gets my pick as all-time favorite. I've never yet seen the sequence where Glen is visited by The Devil all the way through, because I'm...

Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes--1969 or '70, Edison Lighthouse, a UK studio band. The groovy, 'swinging London' atmosphere just rolls off of this tune, makes me happy every time I hear it.

I never saw the series (must go on the bucket list), but read the books, my favorite being The City of Gold and Lead, which I'm guessing wasn't filmed. Would be interesting to see a cinematic go at the trilogy but the imagery from the books was so vivid I'd almost hate to have my imagination...
