Hi Sandman- I was merely commenting on the style of your question, and as I don't own a copy of the Mega-City One Archives V1 I wasn't in a position to answer you.

What kind of indication did you get from my enunciation of the question?

The indication is that either English is not your first language, you find it difficult to make people understand you or that you are a robot. It has happened again here because you have misused the word 'enunciation.' This means 'the way words sound when you speak' so it does not make sense when referring to something you have written.

Speaking of sequels are the sequel books worth reading when I'm done with this one I heard very mixed reviews of them and have been told he doesn't really finish the story?

Dune Messiah is a really great, unexpected follow up which is very much worth reading. It's also very short.

Children of Dune jumps forward quite a bit but is also worth a look as it does build smartly on the first.

After that, I'm not sure I'd bother.

I really like Batman Forever... I know, I know, but I do.

You're a good lad, Colin. Always thought the ridiculous head-shaped skyscrapers and whatnot made a better Gotham than Burton's gothica.

Ken Niemand.
"I know nobody" of that name.
At least in Dutch anyway.

And German. In fact, another way of putting it could be: Kenny Who?

Is it just me, or is there relatively little hype about this movie, considering that its barely more than a week from release? I'm really not hearing anybody talking about it in the real world, and no one's even posted on this thread for over a month...

Hard to say. It's out next week and I haven't even seen a trailer yet, but that's probably because I haven't been to the cinema for months.

Haven't seen Force Awakens since Boxing Day of whatever year it came out either so will have no clue who anybody is.

It doesn't look very good but the eyes are fine.

[Kristin Hersh]

In Tenerife for the week (have photographed some fish) and Kristin Hersh is playing a free gig tonight!

Is Mickey Challis the Knight of Cups?

So that's Tiernen sown up the top 2 places in the cover of the year show? Jaw-dropping stuff which makes the restricted palette seem a bonus.

I'll have to confess my ignorance of Mr Davison's work but that's yet another beauty!

Hope this isn't off topic, but has anyone read Dick's The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch?

I've seen in book shops. Any good?

It's not one of the absolute classics, but all late period PKD is worth reading.

Is this going to be like the time when Bo and Luke went on holiday for a series and their cousins came to visit instead?

Eh? Leyser Guns were an awesome idea when I was twelve and they're awesome now. I had unreservedly loved Slaine up to that point and Time Killer blew my mind by taking the strip off in a completely unexpected direction which expanded its possibilities a thousandfold.

[Prince of Darkness]

Went to see Prince of Darkness in a church the other night. I've always considered it Carpenter's most underrated film, because me and Mrs Monkey both find it to be one of the scariest horrors out there. Not sure why it strikes such a nerve of terror with us, it is pretty hokey on the face of it but all that apocalyptic Brotherhood of Sleep and Satan in a canister stuff just shits us right up.

Yeah. Even though it's just Assault on Precint 13 with zombies I've always enjoyed this one too.

[Cowboys & Aliens]

Quite surprised by the odd mixture of Cowboys & Aliens. It was just as ridiculous as I'd always assumed but played absolutely straight rather than with the tongue in cheek I expected. Surprising amount of grit and gore, of the type which I'm sure 10 year old boys approve. At the other end of the spectrum, take out some of the more saccharine character arcs and Craig and Ford could easily have carried this as a straight-up, no chaser Western. Odd.

I would hardly ever go out of my way to watch a Spielberg film, but almost always enjoy them when I do. He must be doing something right, I suppose. Catch Me if You Can is a textbook example. The subject matter didn't interest me at all but Tom and Leo's entertaining cat and mouse act is wrapped up in such a slick package it's impossible not to be entertained.
