Button Man which, according to Mr Wagner, has some filmy-type people interested in it.

Well, a quick search on Google (remember chaps, Google is your 2nd brain) led me to 2000ad review which said that Mr. Mercator is the lead protagonist in The satanist

    Steve

Well, Alien and The Thing are both shit-scary but they're also Sci-fi so you may have already seen them...

Night's Dawn Trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton - cracking Sci-fi, but about 4000 pages long all told... If you want an easier introduction to his stuff, read Fallen Dragon which is also outstanding.

I'm currently reading the Age of Misrule trilogy by Mark Chadbourne (what's with these trilogies, don't sci-fi/fantasy authors write stand alone novels any more?). Anyway - the AOM is the start of a post-apocalyptic Britain caused by the Celtic gods coming back at the start of this millenium. The first two books aren't fantastically written but the thrid one's turning out to be a corker.

BTW anyone got any good Post-apocalyptic books to recommend? I love 'em.

    Apparently it was only if Angel hadn't shown 100 episodes, and the 100th episode was the other week...

    Oh well, at least this will cut my TV watching down to, ooh - 0 hours a week ;)

I dunno, the Special Editions aren't that bad.

The Greedo shooting first scene sucks donkeys, admittedly (although there are rumours that will be change as Mr. Lucas 'admitted' it was an 'editing error') and there's too much Tatooine fluff in ANH.

But Empire is greatly improved by the Special Editions I think, cloud city looks a whole lot nicer.

And Jedi is improved too, less tacky 80's pop in the dance scene and less cutesy ewok music at the end too. Although Jedi's still a fairly crap film overall.

   Yeah, that instantly sprang to mind when I read the article...

He didn't deserve that - having the living shit beaten out of him, yes but not being mutilated and killed.

    Steve

>Steve, did you really want to admit to that many?

   Not ashamed - it's probably nothing when compared to some people's comic collections ;) The main reason I've got so many is that when I went to America last year, KB toys were selling them for a 1/4 of their normal retail price, so I picked up all the ones that weren't available in this country yet.

   Besides the room full of lego is probably worse, especially as I don't have the time to build stuff with it any more...

   Zoids are back you know - they got a re-release early last year. Zabre's one of them (He's on top of my Wardrobe at the moment). My Zoids collection currently runs to over 70 of them at the moment...

Lego, fantastic toy, I've got a cupboard of the stuff too, and a 6ft layout on my desk at work of pirates vs. space-men vs. knights vs. Ninjas...

I always preferred Who-ers, but then you couldn't call a fan from Newcastle that...

Ah, bugger - 'removed due to legal reasons'... >:( And I didn't keep a local copy either :(

This one's more truthful...
