Ryan R I watched 'Rubber' the other day - seen it?
Rubber was actually quite an excellent film. Maybe a bit pretentious in parts but a pretty good watch, and not for being outright awful.
Kish, you obviously know of the AT-AT - the four legged thing - it is incredibly dear. I got it for £129.99 from Smyths of Chadwell Heath. It is a good toy, though, and has kept the little dude well entertained.
To be fair I never had that (I think it only came out a little while ago) but I had a hefty Millenium Falcon and I don't remember it being that dear... Maybe that's why we never went on holidays when I was a kid though... Yeah I enjoyed it Ryan. You're right though it did seem to try too hard perhaps. 2010 was a goodyear for tire films teehee. I'm off work today and I've just started watching The Tournament with Robert Carlyle, looks like that could fall into the bad-but-good category.
Kish, the AT-AT Walker first appeared in Empire Strikes Back. Do you remember the Snowspeeder wrapping the cable around its legs causing it to trip up? I had one of the originals when I was a kid. I must say that the new one is better than the one I had. Can't say the same for the figures, though!
I'm a child of the 90's and they re-did all the figures and vehicles then - possibly to celebrate the vhs boxsets - I never had an At-At from that range though. I would have killed for one too! I had the Han Solo figure from the Empire Strikes Back, where he had the long sleeved jacket - he was the envy of my pals. We gave them all to charity a couple of years ago.

Thanks Ponders, it's a while since we had one of these. 1-What are you reading at the moment? Two at once, fiction/non-fiction, as I often do - The Devil's Star by Jo Nesbo. Much as I love the Millenium Trilogy, if only Larsson had got a translator as good as this...and Cries Unheard by Gitta Sereny about Mary Bell, scarier than any fiction. 2-What film did you last watch on television or at the cinema? Tales of Ordinary Madness, starring Ben Gazarra one of my favourite actors, who passed away last week.

Last night, Tuna, Feta, Olives - tonight, Fillet Steak, Curly Fries, Onion Rings. My one red meat meal this month. Yum! 4-What was the last album you listened to?

The Wheatpieces in Tewkes, Hungry Horse, you know exactly what you're getting, watching Swindon/Barnet, pint of Stowford and a bucket of buffalo wings. 6-Brief outline of your last dream? Too ghastly to tell you - I dream in full colour, with smell, taste and texture. Sometimes this is wonderful sometimes it's not... 7-Who should be next England manager? Psycho. Yes, I know he won't do it but I think it's our only chance of getting some of these overpaid, underperforming t*ssers out of the side. 8-Destination of your next Summer holiday? St. Valery-sur-Somme, France. Serenely beautiful, wonderfully peaceful - my second home. 9-Last purchase over £100? New telly in the January sales, after my old one packed up - £150 off, yee-hah! 10-Celebrity you would most love to duff-up?
