  1. I'm currently watching a film that is so Tirades worthy I can practically hear the accompanying James and Damien soundtrack. 

    Are you fine gentlemen familiar with Stephen King's Sleepwalkers?

    The main cast are  Brian Krause from Charmed, Mädchen Amick from Twin Peaks, Alice Kirgre and a whopping  Ben Kingsley paycheck  for Ron Pearlman.  

    EDIT

    Having just finished watching it I'm delighted to discover that it has a real protagonist and it is a cat called Clovis, who as far as I can tell is de facto town Sheriff by the end of the film.

     

     

     

  2. Basically Axanar fucked it for everyone else. From what I've seen they got greedy when they started crowd funding  for their second film. Why did they need 100k for the second film when they already had sets built and costumes made from the first one? 

    Fan films and Paramount had a cordial relationship and the guys behind Axanar took the piss. As Dan said Paramount  HAD to do something as they're required to do so and as a result of this they're going too far the other way in order that they don't have to go through all of this crap again once they've sorted Axanar out in court. 

    The people behind Axanar created this mess and other projects that have been going longer and done their best to play nice with Paramount are going to be the ones hit hardest through no fault of their own. 

    Fuck Axanar 

     

     

     

     

  3. I've also read The Shining Girls and it is fantastic. I'd recommend reading Moxyland if you can find it. It is a sci-fi story structured similarly to The Shining Girls in that you are show the story from a different character's perspective every chapter but it is set in a near future South Africa.

    I'm currently reading Foreign Devils which is the sequel to The Incorruptables. It is a fantasy western set in an alternate America where the Roman empire never fell and colonised America. They have technology based on harnessing demons. They are used to power everything from paddle steamers to guns.

  4. On topic: Pandy & I are now being given daily Drive Angry facts on Twitter by Org. So if the rest of you are particularly passionate about a certain Nicolas Cage film for us to definitely cover, you're going to need to up your game!

    Ah, the Jumpin' Jack Flash gambit.

  5. I like the idea of rotating hosts. I think one person should sign up for the whole insane journey and pick up hitchhikers on the way. As a scientific experiment to find out what exposure to his back catalogue does to him. As you say though, let us leave such plans upon the back burner until such time as 'demand Wilson boys done gone recorded.

  6. I'd vote for Face /Off for the reasons previously stated. It's like a really violent remake of Freaky Friday and Cage is off the chart bonkers as Castor Troy. Raising Arizona for an early comedy role and Leaving Las Vegas as that's what he won the Oscar for.

    I'd give an honorable mention to Ghost Rider just for the image of Ian's skull bursting into flames with rage.
