Yes, when I was going (1972) they ran the Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen as a series - showing one episode before the main feature each week. It was fantastic.

Among the films that left me with enduring impressions from the 60's and 70's were: Wages of Fear Juliet of the Spirits 8 1/2 La Grande Bouffe Lawrence of Arabia Mutiny on the Bounty (Marlon Brando) How the West Was Won A Hard Days Night Forbidden Planet Day the Earth Stood Still Earth vs the Flying Saucers The Wild Bunch Images & Nashville (Altman) ... I was a regular at the Trak Cinema Friday night "Supper shows" back in the early 70's... pre Valhalla, they were showing the best of the non mainstream cinema available at the time.

That just reminded me of something from my dim darl past. I used to do salaries for the repat hospital at Heidelberg back in the 70's and on the list there were the following three names: Hardstaff, Kink and Kong. (I guess you had to be there). Sorry, I just thought I would provide a distraction from the training element in this thread.

Barry Lyndon is one of the most well crafted films ever made... every scene has been carefully composed to resemble a work of art (as in painterly classical art). It is a stunning film. Dr Strangelove is one of the best anti-war films ever made - I saw both it and the original Fail Safe within months of each other when they first were released which really messed with my head at the time. And then we have A Clockwork Orange, Lolita (depressing) and The Shining... all brilliant films. In my opinion, the only films coming out of the UK or USA that came close to them at the time were both made by the same director Lindsay Anderson... "If" and "O Lucky Man".

Why on earth did you do that?? I watched Box Trolls last night and have to say I was pleasantly surprised... very stylish and great artwork.

Yes Rob, Steve Cummings (vocalist) and I went to Swinburne together in 1972 and I know Andrew Pendlebury through various other people and parties around Melbourne in the late 70's (not to mention that Andrew's father was the head of the art school at Swinnie when I was there doing Graphic Design). I'll give you a call when I get down there.

One of Steve Martin's better films.

I have the entire Miyazaki catalogue on DVD and BluRay.

Fibular Bells by David Oldfield (former One Nation member and Hanson lover - literally)

Zeffirelli was more your classical director while Polanski could go off on some pretty weird tangents (particularly in the years just after the Manson Family murder of Sharon Tate). Thought he really lost the plot though in his version of Macbeth... give me Kurosawa's Throne of Blood any day of the week.

So we can discount the comment on the MFC Supporters page on Facebook?: "VINEY OUT - Julian De Stoop (Fox Sports News) has reported Jack Viney is out for the next four to six games after scans revealed a small fracture in his leg after the GWS game. A massive blow to the Dees midfield, with Nathan Jones, I hear, also a chance to miss."

Also saw a comment that Nathan Jones is a chance to miss this week (on the MFC Supporters FB page).

The way I see it, WADA is simply waiting to get involved, and if that happens, then withholding a judgement on Dank is not going to help the AFL at all. Karma can be a terrible thing and I get the feeling that the AFL and more particularly Essendon, are going to experience a veritable tsunami of karma.

I agree... mods, can this post please be nailed to the top of this forum?

Not entirely correct... he was "acquired" as a #2 forward at a time when we still had Clark who was always going to be the #1 forward. Unfortunately Clark never got back on the park (for us) and so Dawes became our defacto #1 forward. Now that we have the likes of Garlett and JKH (and even Kent) to pick up the crumbs around the packs and the loose balls in the forward half, and now that Watts is attracting probably the third defender, we probably rely less on Dawes as a classic goal kicking forward, but more on him busting packs to feed those crumbers... let Hogan take the strong contested marks and kick the goals..

I disagree... reading that, it certainly appears that the AFL tribunal are being deliberately obstructive.

GWS I don't mind, Collingwood and Freo may as well have not bothered and I'm not sure what's going on with the Saints jumper... ours and Essendon's are both well designed and I would think meet the brief of representing the ANZACs.

I like that a lot... nicely understated.

Yes, Dank could say whatever he likes with regards to what was used as he knows the records are gone: "The biggest question in Australian sport's supplement saga – what happened to the documentation of drug use at Essendon? – may well be answered on Tuesday night when enigmatic sports scientist Stephen Dank is interviewed by Alan Jones on Sky TV. Dank has told Fairfax Media he left all records of supplements that were used at Essendon when he left the club. "I will tell Alan all the material, including the names of the supplements used, the names of the players administered, the dosage levels and frequency, was left at the club," he said. "Each folder was labelled with the specific supplement and included relevant research papers." Asked why the documents have presumably disappeared, with no one at Essendon able to produce them to verify his oft-stated claim that no performance-enhancing drugs were ever used, Dank said it suited the widespread narrative that he was a rogue scientist acting alone. "It suited the story that the program was the work of one man," he said."

Clutching at straws methinks... it was just a case of the team having a collective brain fade in the second half and then panicking once they woke up to the fact they were being overrun.

You're a mind reader ET

And just how does that not fit the profile of someone with depression/mental health issues? You claim to work in Mental Health, but I would hazard a guess given the language you use in describing Clark and his "condition", that you are not involved in the area of diagnosis or research. What exactly is it that you do in the Mental Health area?

My mistake... BS

T$=MC squared, no BS

so did I
