    Review The Wicker Man (1973)

    Never doubted it for a minute - he's the product (victim) of a very hard line moralistic take on Scottish Presbyterianism. Remote community of puritanical busybodies - no sense at all that he wanted anything different than to wait for sex after marriage... of course if he'd come from the very...

    Review The Wicker Man (1973)

    So true - but I will never ever tire of what excitable and clever people do with Shakespeare either.... including Dr Who, Elton John and Joss Whedon...

    Fun The Last Movie That You Watched?

    Fantastic Beasts a week ago in an actual cinema - and more recently Dogville on dvd - how's that for a double feature? Huge love too for both Robin and Marion AND Cool Hand Luke... epic heroes, more where they come from, Holly wood, please. Possibly fewer "super heroes" would be a good...

    Review M*A*S*H (1972)

    Many happy thoughts, many celebratory feelings about one of the very best series ever - a bit freaked about the Chainsaw bit to be honest - more of a righteous spatula woman myself - but for me, yes, Hawkeye is up there with the Doctor, Trevor Chaplain, Ross Poldark and Harry Pearce (for...

    Review The Wicker Man (1973)

    Yes - woe is me, I'll just have to watch quite a few more episodes before I can decide if it's formulaic - for now I'll just ponder why the stuff Holmes, S. is floundering in America in the first place / why Watson is a struck-off surgeon rather than s a viable GP and who the hell is Holmes...

    Review The Wicker Man (1973)

    Thanks, interesting ideas. I know our college library has the remake so I might finally take the plunge. I'd heard of the sequel (thanks for that at least IMDb) but haven't managed to track it down yet. Maybe when I'm organised enough I'll start thread of films/ TV shows that really DIDN'T work...

    Good to know all that, thanks, And I had a read -thank you for the link - and want to say hello to Luna now - what a darling: a good scratch behind the ears and a big lump of cheese from me - at least, that's what my old mutt would have enjoyed - my mum's rescue dog really, and a total lifesaver...

    Review The Wicker Man (1973)

    Full disclosure: never fully braced myself for Mr Cage's remake at all - I gather that bees are somewhat maligned but wasn't at a;t aware of vampire content- you interest me strangely on that point - seriously, how |DO you rate the remake?

    Hi duzit - thanks for the welcome message- I'm working on an avatar and love your fluorescent sardine- thing (although it's possible I'm missing a reference to an obscure-but-cool Korean fish-anime thing... if so, sorry! I think you're right - long-time lurkers are out and chatting now - we did...

    Thanks - when I figure out what to put there I will... in the meantime I really like your dog - is he Mr Patience in real life? Or (like my old terrier) Mr Biding His Time for the Next Sausage?

    Very cool choice though - glad to know it's a literary Doctor rather than e.g. the avatar of Omega Oils - which I know are very good for us, but could even Marvel at their most Imperial sell us the adventures of Doctor Tuna?

    Review The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

    Hello Hobbit-friends. I just joined this site tonight so looking forward to lots of Tolkien-friendly chat to come - For what it's worth, for me, all time spent in Middle-Earth is good time spent there... quality AND quantity ... and (in passing though) how long had Smaug been sleeping before the...

    Yo! My very new Omega-chum - I'm on this site for half an hour and you already had a Wicker Man thread waiting for me? Quality! Extra Brownie points my dear! In a world where loose-thinking maniacal politicians are declaiming that the current shortage of Iceberg lettuce in Britain does not...

    Err... hello friendly fellow evacuees from IMDb - where I enjoyed reading the message boards for ages without ever joining in - feeling perkier now... some may call it lurking, I prefer canny troll-evading. Anyway hi! Happy snarky twerp-free chatting to all....
