I've got over fifty copies of the New Scientist from '62-'63. They're great. Especially a serise of articles that ran imaging what different aspects of life would be like in 1984. The content of the pieces are a bit weightier than just fanciful conjecture, but sometimes the are way off, no more so than the inculsion of the hovercraft as a vital piece of transport. Now it's easy for me to sit here and make fun of the backward view of that foreign country that is the past. Erm that's it. End.
Just finished watching Truckers on YouTube. What? Oh, you don't remember it, surprise, surprise. Here's episode one:
I'm going through all the "Anthropomorphic Super Heroes" list on Wikipedia. I think I deserve this as I have a ridiculously clean and tidy room and I can also class it as research for the upcoming film I'm working on - Righteous Indignation (Bucky O'Hare 2.0). It's only a working title.
On the subject of anthropomorphic super heroes, does anyone remember T-Rex? (not the band, obviously) Anyone? Five brothers who were all short little Tyrannosauruses? Their central seating area become a vortex thing when they put their armor on? No? Of course you don't remember it, because no one does; why didn't you all play at paying attention when you were children? What was so important that you forgot the TV that you watched.
