You, boy! Keep up at the back, there!

(Mumbles at the ground) Sorry, sir.  I was drinking last night, sir.

If he's got blond hair, does that mean he looks like a whore?

Heh. I've just got that.

Check out his* Doctor Manhattan. It's a hoot.



*or her, obviously

Oops, sorry, just realised i was meant to put myself on a list of players first

sorry

I'm probably not the first to post this, but:

Love the Rogue cat, me. And the cute Dark Judges

Not my bag, Mazeworld, despite the lovely artwork.

Metalzoic, now, that I would love to see again.  Pat Mills and Kev O'Neill - have they ever, as a team, put a foot wrong?

Juat got to thinking last night about a film i watched as a kid (when the folks were out, it was all sexy and that).

Haven't seen the movie, but that's the plot of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's (f**k the accents) short story Miss Forbes' Summer of Happiness.  So could it be this adaptation:

Yep, that's got to be it.  Sorry, haven't checked the board in a while, but nice work, fella - you guys have never let me down

I must admit this month's is the first to get my interest, ARTIC-B I feel it could have kicked off from here.

Totally agree. Now THIS is the Armitage I like.  Mad, interesting parts of Brit Cit that we've never seen before, backstories enriched with a nod to Dredd continuity in general- good to see the gritty realism of the wrecked north of England contrasted with crazy shit like the Kleggs, Judge Fish and the fatties.

Also enjoyed the sly little joke - 'Look at the crap that's happening in what they're calling Murphyville'. Couldn't agree more. I hated that Emerald Isle story. not because of the stereotyped elements - most other Mega Cities get that too, look at Cal-Hab and Luxor - but because unlike MC1, which is (usually) plausibly farcical, Murphyville is implausibly so. Potential for decent future Murphyville stories was pretty much destroyed from the word go.

Reminded me, by the way, of another dig at Ennis Dredd in the Armitage novel Deathmasques, referring to Judgement Day - Dave Stone describes the fact that the year after Necropolis ANOTHER extra-dimensional superfiend attempted global extermination as 'a serious lack of originality on Fate's part'.

Not entirely Garth Ennis's fault there, I know, but I totally agree again - it was wayyyy too soon after Necropolis among its other flaws.

Anyway, sorry, I digress. Armitage is not crap. It's very good.  By the way, is that the same Brit-Cit assassin woman from Wetworks? Never read it but she was also in a one off story in a Mega-Special.

The ironic thing is when my Mum caught me and my best friend watching it she shouted out the thread starters name!!

Heh heh. I've just got that.

Did you find a tape of it hidden on top of your dads wardrobe? If thats the case there are many sites where you can see similar films

Heh. No, it was actually an arty film, therefore not porn exactly. Probably on that dreadful Channel 4 thing.
It was probably the early 90's when I saw it, anyway.  Pretty sure I didn't dream it too, there was no difficult running away, or struggling to fly a few feet above the ground, or being at school again with important exams the next day and no study done, which pretty much sums up all my dreams.

No, I saw Blue Lagoon - not that one, sadly

Juat got to thinking last night about a film i watched as a kid (when the folks were out, it was all sexy and that).
It was possibly a foreign language one, about an attractive female teacher marooned on an island teaching two kids.  The kids hated her and she was very strict, but (in hindsight I realise) it was an expression of her sexual frustration: There was some young guy on the island who she kept coming on to, including rubbing his balls, but our man failed to pitch a trouser tent every time. I think he turned out to be gay or something. There was a surreal underwater scene as well.
Anyway it was very sexy and weird, wouldn't mind watching it again. Er, for curiousity and nostalgia's sake, you understand. Anyone know this one?

Wasn't Johnny Depp pencilled in to play the Riddler? Or is that just a silly rumour?
