do you mean the new V or the 'classic' series? I loved the classic as a kid but retrospective viewing obiously yields lots of kitsch factor.
I have been watching the remake and don't mind it so far, although I am not a massive sci fi fan ordinarily

I'm not liking it much. Like almost every other new show, I find it to be too contrived.

Well I wouldn't have watched it if not fot the fact I enjoyed the original. I usually find most American sci-fi things to be way too similar in look and feel. I'm just waiting for the revelation that the visitors are actually emo vampires or something

I'm glad you said that. Because even though I love Moon and District 9, I've never had any real interest in seeing Avatar. I saw 2012 on DVD the other day (another over-hyped, huge-budget hollywood movie), and all I really took away from it was this: I was right in not seeing it at the cinemas. Funny most everyone else I know doesn't want to see it either.... okay. The plot did remind me quite a bit of Dances with Wolves (one of my all time favorite movies) maybe that is why it resonated so with me.

Anybody ever watched the Firefly series by Joss Wheedon or seen the full length movie (based on the series) called Serenity?

Yep. I like all of Joss stuff. I thought of I Hate The White Man by Roy Harper when I saw Avatar. very similar to Dances.
2012 a sorta plotless effects driven disaster flik I wanted more Myan mythomumbojumbo I began research on the Myan 2012 thing in 1985.

Well I watched survival of the dead last night. Pretty bad really. Definitely a straight to dvd feel with some bad digital effects in places. Very short on ideas too with a weak cast.

That's pretty much all I've heard about it so far. Maybe it's finally time for Romero to hang up the ol' shotgun and brains?

I certainly hope the film was a financial decision and not an artistic one. I hope he makes something decent before he retires for good.

So.. if something is retardedly overhyped and expensive then... it er.. means it's not actually overhyped nor expensive at all then Intermedium ?.
Perhaps the word retard is popular stateside. It isn't in Europe.

I wonder whats in store for the coming year for O.T. No doubt some rest after a long tour and then the finishing of the next album. Will it see a release date this year? Also wonder if they may do any festival in the U.K. and it would be great if another tour but I'm sure that is wishful thinking.

Can't see em doing any more UK gigs this year, they are trying to break into the USA market, So if they do festies will probably be USA ones.

Im a ROCK HED at heart, though love all music . . MUSIC IS MUSIC at the end of the day . . . . . . . All my friends are in bands or are musicians, or dj's or just involved with music somehow . . Thatswhat happens when you love music, with a passion . . .

A couple of days ago I came across this video of an artist who calls himself Auroris. Completely inependent and very enjoyable, with a clear Ozric influence. Not groundgreaking, but does all music have to be so? www.reverbnation.com/auroris

Have the band/Snapper said if they're going to do dleluxe reissues for any other albums? The rest of the albums with Joie would be most welcome - especially if the other two Taste videos are included in Pungent ;D Also, Become the Other needs a good remastering, as has been mentioned before.
