    Movie Prometheus

    First time c/p posts in the new forum so if it doesn't work, I'll delete and hope nobody saw it. Really? I thought the opposite. There wasn't one single point in the movie where I thought 3D was either appropriate or used well. I would much rather have seen it without the glasses. I hated...

    Movie Sequels that were better than the original.

    A couple of things I agree with and one I don't. This is absolutely arguable, but I see Alien as better than Aliens. More action in the second film but far more intensity in the first. It crossed genres in a sense - Alien was a horror film and Aliens was an action film, albeit both being...

    Radio The SEN Thread 9

    Going back a ways in this thread but it's time for my occasional reminiscence. Apologies. My fault that song exists at the station. It's a long story but it's very boring. I'm surprised they're still using it. There was an occasion or two when the timing of the cross resulted in elderly...

    Radio The SEN Thread 8

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing. You listened back far enough to remember the UK talk sport slots overnight. Do you also remember the nights SEN broadcast local UK listeners whining about the state of their roads and the rubbish collections? Talk Sport was an innovative approach to the...

    Radio The SEN Thread 8

    Matthew Hardy. He was one of the writers for The Sketch Show, still one of the best contemporary sketch comedy shows I've seen. I won't argue your opinion of him on SEN, humour is a very subjective thing and when sport is thrown into the mix it confuses the matter even further, but Hardy's...

    FTA-TV Father Ted

    I resisted it for some time because I mistakenly thought it was going to be a tame religious comedy. Awesome show, and although I've watched them all through a number of times, I still look back on that one moment in the first episode that really sucked me in and made me laugh...I don't know...

    Radio Triple M in the toilet

    Speaking as someone who has worked (and is working) in radio in autralia and abroad...and this is opinion not fact... companies in far larger markets than any market in Australia are watching their bottom line and axing any position they think they can live without. This means you can...

    Movie Independance Day

    I have to say, although it's a long time since I saw either of them...ID4 didn't leave me with any outstanding memories, whereas Mission Impossible II left me feeling dirty for having watched it. So if we're talking worst movie of all time MI II gets my vote. And I've watched Plan 9 From Outer...

    Radio The SEN Thread 5

    No harm done Monty. I know you're not trying to aggravate people, and a lot of the points you make are good ones. I just felt compelled to stand up for a few of my ex-colleagues who could have conceivably been wrapped up in your summations of the whole SEN experience/culture. I do read this...

    Radio The SEN Thread 5

    I sense sarcasm. Don't waste it on me. But you raise an interesting point. How many of the posters in this thread would really change the listening environment at SEN? Typing up concise, critical and accurate posts on Bigfooty might get some mileage...but radio isn't conducted via the keyboard...

    Radio The SEN Thread 5

    Got a solution for you Monty. I don't entirely disagree with some of your assessments of shows on SEN. But you seem to have an awful lot of time on your hands to critique other peoples' work. This might kill two birds with one stone. Apply for a job at SEN. You obviously have a...

    That scene in Titanic where there's suddenly a lot of water where people don't expect it to be.

    Radio The SEN Thread 5

    I know this quote is going back a bit, but it's been a while since I checked up on this thread. I think "worst production and technical support people in the radio business" is a bit harsh. I worked for SEN - panel operating, audio production/editing and on-site technical producing - for the...

    Alien V Predator: Requiem

    Just watched it...a little late I know. I thought the first AVP was much better. No likeable human characters in this one, and way too much emphasis on them. At least in the first film the majority of humans got wiped out and the climax focused on AVP, as the title suggested. In the second...

    Movie Meet the spartans

    Good question that I can't answer. I'd venture to say though that the greatest scene in movie history would struggle to justify the tripe that filled the 90 odd minutes (felt like a week) leading up to the credits.

    Greatest Television Character ever

    Hell of a lot of great nominations in here but rather than re-nominate someone already mentioned I want to put in a vote for one character that stuck in my memory so much that I recently had to hunt down the one series of American Gothic that was made in 1995. Sheriff Lucas Buck. One of the...

    Missed it. Was taken to see the movie and couldn't get out quick enough. Don't bother. the words 'awful movie' are too kind for this piece of garbage.

    KISS - The Greatest Live Act in History

    Can't speak for KISS as I've never seen them live, although I do like a lot of their earlier stuff. Would be doing well to top the Nine Inch Nails performance I saw for sheer theatre. But live shows are memorable for different reasons and to say they're the best based simply on the theatrical...

    Favourite Doctor Who companions

    Many fond memories of Sarah Jane Smith, Jo, Nyssa, Tegan, Adric, Romana...and Turlough (the TRAITOR!). Loved Ace and I thought Rose was a great choice to kick off the new episodes. But in the end it comes down to Leela. Sexy, sassy, ballsy and a little on the weird side.

    Heya Steve. Denver's working out really well, love the people here and the mountains are spectacular. No radio work here yet but I've got a couple of applications out that sound positive. Hope you're all well back there, say hi to Ed for me. Cheers
