you`re right oddboy.  The story`s what it`s all about.  Continuity doesn`t matter (well, it can but it doesn`t in this case)

Why not find a place for annoying pop pixie Avril Lavigne in the next JD movie?  She could be Judge Janus.
  Does anyone else have pop stars in mind who would do well in bit parts in MC1?  TaTU as gangsters?  ...errmmm

what a crap excuse.  Weather!  haven`t they had it before?  buy some umbrellas!

Yes, Brazil is a great movie, one of the best ever. TG is like the pretty little girl with the pretty little curl - when he`s good he`s a genius and when he`s bad he`s dreadful.  12 Monkeys and the Fisher King were great, Munchausen was a shocker, Time Bandits was ...well nice idea but the film was very ordinary.  He`s trying to make a film of Don Quixote now.

as far as I'm aware, nobody's put a circle around Pat Mills himself. Is fan fic about Pat Mills okay? If so, what would it be like?

when licenses are sold and the company selling them signs off on the product it must be reaching the required standard, surely?

Why surely? What's the required standard?

Variety is the spice of life. That's why I vary my cereals between weetabix and porridge.
  Funny this thread should resucitate. I was just imagining "Slaine goes to the future" stories this afternoon.

Dear Keith Owen Bailey,

here`s some hearty applause for you!

You British worry too much about this subject.  It`s becoming a national obsession.

Why thank you!  I`ll consider my self an irregular from now on!
  TPO did have good points but one man`s nitty gritty is another man`s boring trivia.  Yesss it`s better than non-stop back slapping, yesss, it`s interesting to read how a story was created
     On the other hand....I think BishOP was just too close to it and the unions didn`t get a fair shake - they`re just an evil off stage presence.  
  No, I wouldn`t buy a complete TPO if it was the last book on earth

  Oh well, lunch time.  Off for more curry rice!

Maybe I`m not on the message board enough to be a regular.  Obviously I`m not as one with the online community (as droids call it when they get a bad rating on this site) but I can think of about eight million things I want more than a compilation of Thrill Power Underpants.
  TPU was one of the great wasted opportunities of the Megazine.  Some interesting history was buried under a mass of inconsequential stuff of interest only to long time 2000AD staff.  Interesting stuff about the stories themselves was rushed past.  The reprinted artwork was great but the text itself got duller and duller very quickly (I thought the first installment was great).
  No wonder the strain of writing all this stuff caused the great David Bishop to go insane and start referring to himself as another person (as in `David Bishop recalls`)

yours apart from the mob,

.necropost!  For some reason the 'view messages by' option gives me a thread from 2003.  but this is a nice poem, so here t'is


And it's old and old
it's sad and old
it's sad and weary I go back to you,
my cold father,
my cold mad father,
my cold mad feary father,
till the near sight of the mere size of him,
the moyles and moyles of it, moananoaning,
makes me seasilt saltsick
and I rush, my only, into your arms.
I see them rising!
Save me from those therrble prongs!
Two more. Onetwo moremens more. So. Avelaval.

I don`t think anyone, including Joyce, understood the whole thing.  Anthony Burgess wrote an entertaining book called Here Comes Everyone in which he claimed to read it.
  Mostly FW is fun to quote.  Some passages are beautiful but reading the whole thing is like reading four hundred pages of cryptic crossword clues.  As the poet writes:

Finnegan`s Wake
Is the world`s biggest spelling mistake

(one check later) yes it`s Muster Mark.  Here are the Finnegan`s Wake quotes for Sinister

*): with his sinister cyclopes after trigamies and
384.(*F3*): to her then, with his sinister dexterity, light and rufthandling,
463.2: to carry out onaglibtograbakelly in his showman's sinister the
546.7: blazoned sinister, at the slough, proper. In the lower field a terce

and for Dexter

99.25: him lion with his dexter handcoup wresterected in a pureede

okay, have a good day

I think it`s two quarks for Muster Mark but I`ll check
