it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear Spooky Tooth, a massive British Bues- /Hardrock band
collaborating with a french avantgarde/electronic/musique concrete artist ....

in 1969 this was possible.

Never really listened to the The Cure when I was younger. Recently got their greatest hits album and found this one on there. Really cool song with a bit of a story in it. The videos pretty good too.

Lullaby. A nightmare about being eaten alive by a giant spider. :D You should probably turn on Closed Caption for the lyric subtitles.

... Disney animated movies ...

Yeah, I forgot to mention I also had a bunch of Disney animated movies on my to do list. Been slowly working through them, 1 every day or two.

One of the lesser known Disney animated movies that was a pretty bad flop at the time (supposedly it damn near destroyed the company when it failed to make it's budget back at the box office)...

The Black Cauldron (1985)


I never saw this one as a kid, even though it came out when I was 5. Back then the Disney channel used to show all of their animated movies on there a lot. I remember watching Cinderella, Dumbo, Robin Hood, Alice in Wonderland... but they never showed the Black Cauldron at all. I don't remember the movie, commercials about the movie, or even any passing reference to the movie on there.

Yeah, I can see why it flopped. The story is just clunky and awkward. The black cauldron is a magical cauldron that gives its owner the ability to raise an evil undefeatable army of the undead. The evil horned king is looking for it. So far so good, right? The protagonist is a young boy with a pig... but the pig is magic and when it sticks its nose in a bowl of water and you say some hocus pocus magic phrase, it shows you visions in the water, like where to find the black cauldron. And that's where the clunky weirdness starts. A pig? Really? Even kids would be like, "Really? That's so dumb."

Anyway, I won't bore anyone with the WHOLE story. And I mean it's not absolutely terrible, but it's just not on par with what you'd expect from a Disney animated movie considering what all they had put out up to that point.

It's good points:
1.) The voice talent of John Hurt as the evil Horned King.



He was a terrific actor, one of my favorites of all time. He could do ANYTHING, and during his long career, he pretty much DID do just about any type of role you can imagine. And he didn't play villains often, but he knocked this one clean outta the park and over the interstate. He effected a very bass-heavy gravelly tone for this role and it made the villain the scary terrifying monster he should've been. He was THE BEST PART of the movie. It was certainly no fault of the villain character or John Hurt's vocal portrayal that contributed to this movie failing. He was perfect. And sadly, he passed in early 2017 from pancreatic cancer.

2.) The voice talent of Phil Fondacaro as Creeper, the Horned King's little goblin assistant.



He's my favorite dwarf actor. He's been in TONS of stuff, including one of my all-time favorite "bad" horror movies called The Creeps (about Dracula, Mummy, Frankenstein,... except their all dwarfs). He's not an actor the caliber of John Hurt, but he's a swell dude, and I like anything he does.

I have a list a country mile long of shows I want to binge start to finish. Like I said before, I gotta go back and re-watch all of The Walking Dead since I finally downloaded the last 2 seasons of it... and before that, I'm gonna re-watch all of Yellowstone because I haven't seen the last season of that yet either. And seeing shorty clips of it in my Youtube feed has me also wanting to rewatch all of Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy again. At some point last year, I downloaded a few British shows: Absolutely Fabulous, The Young Ones, Bottom, A Bit of Fry & Laurie (Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie - sketch comedy), and The Benny Hill Show. I finished AbFab, Young Ones, and just recently finished off Bottom... so I still have all 58 episodes of the Benny Hill Show (plus 11 more vids included in the additional "Lost Years" and "Extras" part of the collection) as well as Fry & Laurie.

I also downloaded a few kiddie shows I watched as a youngster: PeeWee's Playhouse, Beetlejuice cartoon, and He-Man. Probably not gonna binge those - I don't think I could take that. Maybe take on one at a time, watching 1 episode each morning with breakfast or something.

 :D

So if I stick to my "to do" list of things to watch, I might be done by next Christmas.

I also got into the habit of watching Louder with Crowder everyday, and thats usually 2 hours a day Monday through Thursday.

Ha! And I also have a bunch of movies I wanna get around to eventually... some old 50's historical/roman/biblical stuff like Quo Vadis, The Robe, Demetrius and the Gladiators... some new ones like Gladiator 2, Thelma, The Exorcism, etc.

And I know what's gonna happen... I'm gonna keep seeing shit I wanna watch and keep adding it to the pile. I think they have a name for it...

And yeah, I'm starting to get to max capacity on my external 3.63TB hard drive. Time to buy more hard drives.

Yonna cuppa, mate? :dohdohdoh:

What a great show. One and only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that there were only 3 seasons of it. The characters were so good with so much potential, it probably could've gone on for another 4 or 5 seasons, I really wish it would've.

I came across clips of this show browsing shorts on youtube. It's called Mr. Inbetween.

Mr. Inbetween (TV Series, FX, 2018–2021)




An Australian made show I guess, set in Australia I think. It's a partly gritty action, partly crime-thriller, partly drama, partly comedy kind of show. It ran for 3 seasons from 2018 to 2021 on FX. It's really good, one of the best shows you probably never heard of. 30 minute episodes, so it's easy to find time to watch.

IMDB synopsis says: Ray Shoesmith is a father, ex-husband, boyfriend, brother and best friend; tough roles to juggle in the modern age. Especially, when you're also a criminal for hire.

My synopsis: It's about a hitman/enforcer for hire, divorced, has shared custody of his 8yr old daughter. Wants to raise his daughter right and be a good role model for her, but still leads a life of crime and violence. It's not really a "comedy", but every so often veers that way when absurd and awkward moments occur. It goes from action to funny to sad and everywhere else in a natural well-written way, interesting characters, good character development. I'm about halfway through the last season now (s03) and so far I'd rate it a 9 out of 10 - one of the best shows I've ever seen. It's so good, it's a shame there's only 3 seasons. But I suppose a good show running too long can be as bad as a bad show. I watched The Walking Dead for all of it's first 9 seasons before I got bored and stopped following it. Just recently got around to finally downloading seasons 10 and 11, the last 2 seasons. Pretty soon I'll start re-watching that show start to finish... and I'm not entirely looking forward to it.  :D

Some of the Aussie accents are a little thick. I can understand 99% of it, but some Americans have trouble understanding some British, Irish, Aussie, or Scottish accents. If this is you, I'd recommend streaming it directly from some paid service that offers english subtitles.


Being Aussie I love this show. Fun Fact there was a movie called "the magician" with the same guy who plays ray shoesmith as a hitman so you can say it was where they got the idea of the show from. The magician was a meh movie but worth the watch. Also the magician movie is referenced in an episode of mr inbetween as seen here

The monitor itself is buttery smooth, but make sure if possible you connect using the dp instead of hdmi
