Rain King I'm sorry but there's no way the first TP series is the
best; series two, at least until the killer's identity is revealed,
is brilliant. And then that final episode, that's amazing! It's
definitely worth tracking down the videos; TP is the funniest,
scariest, weirdest, most moving tv show I've ever seen. Some
psychotic vaudevillian's idea of a soap opera.

Neverwhere....good? Have I missed something? This isn't meant as a
dig, as I'll watch any old trash generally, but had to switch that
off after 30 mins. Atrocious 6th form acting, terrible sets, worse
sfx (both of which can be easily overcome if the rest is up to
scratch) and ropey dialogue.
As I say, this isn't meant as dig, I'd like to know what its
strengths are, just in case it's on again.
Oh, and series one was the better of Twin Peaks.

Hey, 70s Man, haven't you seen "Die, Monster, Die!"? Wasn't that
good enough Lovecraft for you? Wasn't it? Well wasn't it?
(OK, it was a piece of shit.)
And if you're ever in southern California you can go see those
dinosaurs from Pee Wee's Big Adventure (now there's a fuckin movie).
I accidentally discovered them while putting gas in my car, and
there was a tourist junk giftshop in the brontosaurus and
everything.

I heard you the first time mate.
What's "die monster! die!" all
about then?
It sounds good.
The bit that truamatized me in PeeWees big adventure was when
he's travelling in a truck with this guy who tells him a story about
someone who fell off the empire state building. "and when he hit the
bottom , his face looked like this BBLLEEUURRGH!"
That scared me
SO MUCH , I still remember it today in every detail.
Um, i cant really defend Neverwhere , but I'll have a go:
I
thought Gaimans script was great.
It had a top notch opening
sequence.
It simultaneously reminded me of vertigo comics and
Dr.Who.
I love it.
thats about the best I can do.

"Tell 'em Large Marge sent ya!"
Totally synchro. I had "Circuitry Man" on the TV and Large Marge
has a cameo in it.
This board just spooks the shit outta me.

NEVERWHERE, if you can get past the cheap sets a la DOCTOR WHO, was
very engaging, dark fantasy and not really all that scary.
Nevertheless, i do feel as if the script is some of GAIMAN'S best
writing, even surpassing his stint on the SANDMAN comic. has anyone
out there read the novel that the t.v. show came from? is it any
good?
As for the first season of TWIN PEAKS, i simply felt that
the plotting and characterization was stronger. the second season
did have it's moments, however, and yes, the ending was really
creepy with agent cooper being possessed and all that.
ON another
note, it is good to see that i am not the only person who was scared
of those
telepaths from BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES. what is
it with secret societies and caves anyway? i remember watching the
prisoner back-in-the-day and being really disturbed by that
"reverse-myth-of-the-cave" scene in FALLOUT. Grant Morrison,
somehow, has tapped into that archetype in BLACK SCIENCE part I from
vol II of the invisibles.
Also, was anyone else a bit disturbed
by that orgy scene in EYES WIDE SHUT? the movie was almost total
crap except for that one scene which seemed to transcend the film.
while watching this part i felt as if i had somehow been given the
privalege to pierce the veil and look in on an invisibles initiation
rite. the only problem was that the guests at the orgy were all
rich-fucks and probably had more in common with sir miles than KING
MOB.

When I was a kid, I was completely terrified by the Garfield
