Just watched the clip - ridiculously funny - and I've already managed to get a hold of the movie ( tomorrow ) - ah what a quick world we live in !

Btw - what is this particular thread about anyway ? Hope I haven't hijacked it ! I'm "Johnny-new-boy" - don't wanna get banned too quickly !

Don't you love the internet....Watch it a few times....it's all dialogue and body language...i still see things in it now after maybe 30 watches.

The Other Cracker from that period is "Performance" with Mick Jagger. 1968..with James Fox & real Gangster.....

I'll check "Performance" out as well - good reviews btw

Always been a fan of off-beat humour - The Party , Evil Roy Slade and The Big Labowski are one's that I'd recommend .

The key to this particular thread is what it's not about!. Normally I'd suggest that reading the title would be helpful, but that's been changed umpteen times.

Evil Roy Slade & The Dude are heroes of mine...I think we need to organize some film nights!


Great movie from that era was Blow-up starring David Hemmings and Vanessa Redgrave.

Also featured a rare performance of The Yardbirds with both Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. The latter left the band a few months after the movie was made.

Spot on....I found a very clean copy on the net not long ago....Based on David Bailey....Loosely

Well, here are a few I could mention:

The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer (with Peter Cook)

The Bedsitting Room (featured just about every British comedian imaginable)

Bedazzled (the original with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore)

Dr Strangelove (of course)

Wow, that brings back some memories. I remember a 1967 concert at Festival Hall featuring the Yardbirds (For Your Love), the Big O (Crying ... 3 curtain calls) and the Walker Brothers (The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore) all on the same card. Sensational!

Not to mention Over Under Sideways Down, Shapes of Things and Heart Full of Soul. Used to play in a band in my teens and we played and I sang these songs. Ah memories.

I was singing Over, Under, Sideways Down in a band here in Sydney in the early 80's :-)

Yeah, just listened to a few of those on YouTube and the nostalgia came flooding back. If we continue this 'off-season trip down memory lane' it won't be long before we pass the 1000 mark ...... without one iota of angst.

Bedazzled is brilliant and Strangelove is an all time classic - I'll no doubt find the other 2 - Ta !

Edited by why you little

We are in the same ball park here. The rise and rise of michael rimmer with arthur lowe is golden. And the bed sitting room with capt. peacok from "are you being served" as "the BBC!!" superb....

You'll no doubt know about this one "Wyl" but for others - "Burn After Reading" ( Another Coen Bros ) - found it funnier the 2nd time around !

Haven't seen it!! But yes i love the Coen boys work. Let us not forget either the Lindsay Anderson trilogy with Malcolm McDowell. "If" "O Lucky Man" & "Britannia Hospital" just superb, all 3.

Just changing tack a little, what do people think about ex-bananabender Mitch Clark's haircut? To me, he's trying too hard to look 60s Merseyside whereas I prefer his punk look myself.

Attended the Cox Plate and privileged to see a fair filly called Black Caviar. Never seen that many in the stands for any race there other than the Cox Plate. When she won the noise was deafening. Ran into the Governor of Victoria who not only was at the Bar with me but lectured me in Equity in my student days. He said he remembered from both, think he was just being polite. Spoke to the owner of Americain the Moonee Valley Cup winner and last years Melbourne Cup winner who told that the horse wasn't even fully fit. He was impressive and when fully fit could make it back to back Melbourne Cups. Manawanui looks to have a mortgage on the Derby next week. Great day.

Not that I want to start any of the boys gambling, but Jack Watts is the celebrity tipster in the Sun and is doing really well. He tipped a winner again in the Moonee Valley Cup winner and is killing the opposition.

Don't tell Daniel Ward, the Ox or Trapper will ya!!!

I just went on a massive walk around my hood and returned home to discover my top was on backwards.

Great lyrics, so well suited to Johnny Cash's gravelly voice.

Agree on Americain. (see Sports Board).

Btw Black Caviar is now a 5yo br mare.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
