This is a sign post to somewhere, that has not existed, for over 25 years. Its across from the train station. The sign used to point to a youth club, on the verge of a park play area. Where there were swings and roundabouts. A witches hat, and a climbing frame. The climbing frame, was built in the form, of a lunar module. However I always thought it was a spider web.
They have since, built over, the swings and the youth club. They have not used yards, on signing for over a decade. So here, a forgotten memory, of a forgotten place

Game of Thrones
This was recommended to me. Unlike those of you who, have HBO, or Sky Atlantic. I caught it on the DVD boxset.
I am glad I did. The series grows on you. It may be the best Telefantasy series since Babylon 5. It took, a while to settle. Indeed, I had a problem from the get go. The opening scenes of the North, are clearly filmed in the North of Ireland. I will remember and recognise the mists of Donegal, till I die. ( Yes I am aware, the series was filmed in N.I) For a moment, I saw the mist. I thought there, somewhere in Ireland.
Watching the series, which centres on the clash, between the Stark and Lannister families. Aping the struggle between the Yorks, and the Lancastrians. The War of the roses. The series gives a feel for a world, which is larger than our own. The North is 1000 leagues away from London. Several days journey. Over dangerous country. That said, The powers that be, have bowed to the modern era. The characters communicate across the miles, by use of raven post. For a while, I wondered if I should prefer, a series simply set during the War of the Roses.
Than there is the Khalese.
Step forward Emila clarke.
Emilia, here looking like an English rose.
Its a great journey for her charcter, who starts off, as a pawn. To be married off, for an army, and than becomes a queen. We see, her grow and learn hard lessons. As she is married into a barbarian horde. I presume these are the Mongol/ Golden horde analogs.
Like Babylon 5, it does polticking well. One of the point of view characters, is a young pretender to the throne. Indeed, Babylon 5 seems to have been a bit of an influence here. There are rangers, and a Night watch. As I mentioned. We see Emila Clarke, move from manipulated, to manipulator. We see, a grand plan, for peace squandered by a boy king rage. In an earlier scene, we had seen the boy's mother explain to him, why when he is King, he simply would not be able, to compel the North to his whims.
Lena Headly plays his scheming mother/ queen of the Lannisters. The She Wolf, or rather Lioness. . Its a very different role, to Sara Conor. As Sara, she had the whole world on her shoulders. Here Lena has the same duties, but wears it with spite, rather than resignation
Peter Dinklage won deserved prizes for his role, as Tyrion. A dwarf born to the Lannisters. One of the most powerful houses. The House of Lancaster analogy. There family, are rich and powerful. The richest on their world. But Tyrion was born a dwarf. He is despised as the half man. Despised by his father. However he was born, and he lived. So he had to make a role.
In this world, there is no Christianty. So there is no Church for Tyrion to be dumped into. The Night watch. Provides, something of an analogy. However there are no roles for women.
There is a further plot set on wall of ice. This world's version of Hadrians wall. Where the Nightwatch stand guard, against the horrors lurking beyond. Horrors that according to legend plunged the world into darkness before.
Per Wiki, the Ice Wall/North is based on what the writer thought Hadrian's wall would seem, to be like to someone from the Mediterranean. That's a bit unfair. It snows in the Med, and the troops manning the wall, were normally Gauls,
Every once in a while, they remind us that is not Earth/ England. Some of the ruling families, practise incest. There is the Ravens. The White Walkers, and other horrors.
In the south, there are Dragons.
A great show. Along with the Walking dead. This will be this generation's Babylon 5.

John Carter
John Carter.
I browsed the first book a few years ago. It was on Project Gutenberg. I
I browsed the first book a few years ago. It was on Project Gutenberg. I
did not think the book was terrible, but I lost interest. I heard that despite the poor attendances. The film, was not bad. Indeed it isn't.
I had similar thoughts to ``There Will Be Blood'' great work, done in the service, of merely good material. John Carter of Mars- I don't think has stood the test of time. I cannot see them remaking the Tarzan franchise either. So, why should John Carter. Where the lead, is a Virginian Cavalier, strike a cord with modern audiences? I think, for better or for worse, the dog got given a bad name. Also the film rather difficulty sits between reality and fiction. reflecting what was known of Mars, at the time. John Carter, can jump further than a mortal man, on Mars, because of the weaker gravity. Yet an intelligent 9 year old, would know that there is no air, or life on Mars. Your asking, the people who tell you the emperor is naked, to suspend disbelief, twice
Anyway, Dominic West, is playing one of the Villains. He is also reunited with his fellow HBO alumni, Cirian Hands, and West is aided, by Mark Strong. Who plays, the principle bad guy. He is making a good living playing bad guys, in bad moves is Mr Strong. Well, Crazy name Crazy guy!
The Martian landscapes are wonderful.
The Film captures, Boroughs work, pretty well. Which is a reflection of its time. Burroughs, grew up before the 20th century. When there were still exotic Indian princess and an Arizona territory. The beginnings of modern archaeology. Ancient cities being discovered around the world. The one thing, they left out, was the slight raciness of exotic Martian princesses, who laid eggs, and wore very little.
The film is no worse than Avatar, or the Star Wars prequels. The only criticism, I have is that it does not give the supporting cast enough to do. If you need to cast a Bonehead destroyer , don't cast Dominic West. Have someone who can chew the scenery- indeed someone taller.
That said, as a move it does not fall short. Audiences stayed away from Blade Runner too A film, I think is overrated.

King of the Hill, an appreciation
I remember watching this, before I went to the USA. I remember the adverts of channel 4. It was scheduled for Friday night's just after or before fraiser. However, I really came to appreicate this show, when I was in North Carolina. It was a feature of Sunday nights. Simpson's and than king of the hill. As the week wound down, I would watch it with my friend. Its very quotable. Its different to the Simpsons, and family guy, in that it is sent in a more realistic universe, and unlike those two. King of the Hill, carries a unashamed small c conservative message. Where as Peter in Family Guy is New Englander and Cleveland Brown is a Virginian. . Though Peter would probably have moved out of Connecticut by now. Hank Hill, is a proud Texan. This is the heartland, his woman is from Montana. The Hills, are the old west.
My brother picked up the third series of the show, for me, one Christmas a few years ago. It had been sitting on a shelf, and so, one day. Riddled with anxiety, and wanting something to do, I put it on.
But time, has moved on. One member of the cast. Luanne, played by Brittany Murphy has been lost. Lost too young. The stories revolve around Hank Hill, and his family. Hank and his wife, Peggy, Hank a propane salesman, and his wife, a substitute Spanish teacher. There son Bobby. Luanne, Peggy's niece, pert and pretty and thrust into the Hill's home due to domestic disturbance and violence. Hank is pretty content, he enjoys his job. He enjoys working on his truck, and house he loves to mow his lawn. The Hills inhabit suburban bliss. The remaining characters are fleshed out, from their work places, and neighbourhood. There is Dale, a conspiracy theorist, exterminator, being cuckolded, by his beautiful wife. Bill the Army barber. Who went through a messy divorce, and now loves Peggy. As I got older, it was Bill, who made, me laugh the most. To see a man, so clearly beaten down. Watching the series again. I like it more, as I realise, the relationship between Bobby, the little fat boy the hills raised, and Hank, an old ex football player is not unlike mine and my fathers. Hank is adept in the blue collar world. When grilling a steak, or fixing a lugnut, or catching a pass. Like Bobby, I was interested in comedy. Though not celeryhead. God no.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrot_Top
I worked through five seasons. The series, shows Bobby, develop, and go through puberty. There is a great episode where his friend Joseph returns from summer camp, having shot up a few inches, in the summer. Bobby, has not got there yet. The episode, shows the two sides of puberty, quite well. The early bloomers, and the late developers. Bobby, despite being the same age as his friend, must order off the kids menu. To save a few dollars Joe, cannot ride his bike, and is clumsy, and tongue tied, and if he hears, the same joke about his height he will snap. There is a cash and carry supermarket chain, nearby. Which due to there being forklift trucks on the shop floor of the food section banned the under 12's from going in there. I was turned away once, when I as 13. I still remember the grief.
The show is proudly Texan. It is also clearly red state. There is an episode, in which Bobby, is shown to be an excellent shot. He and his father, spend the day, shooting at a father son, shooting competition Something that the series, remembers. Series, was good for the first few years with continuity. Than Network pressure and the departure of one its showrunners, took its toll.
There are gibes at the experts. The Pilot, features an over sensitive and inquisitive social worker, trying to get Bobby Hill, removed to fostercare, on the basis of neighbourhood gossip. Environmentalists, brag about destroying 300 logging jobs and saving the snail darter. That said
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Richards#In_popular_culture
Appears in an episode. One of the better ones will Bill.
What I like in the series. Is that it knows when to make its characters strong and when to weaken them. There was a British TV pilot on over Christmas. Starring David Jason, as a royal Bodyguard. It treated him, as frank Spencer. Well,no. Frank Spencer, was shown to have moments of greatness. His RAF service. His work on the Wendy house. In the David Jason, show, his character was portrayed as a moron. A moron, who risked people's lives. That is a mistake to easily made in comedy. Idiots are tiresome. Bill dautrive, can be shown as a fool, 90 percent of the time. When he puts on his uniform, he is Sgt Bill, US army. There is a difference between smiling and sneering and King of the Hill captures it

Munster and Wuppental
My brother and I have ventured North from Dusseldorf, to the town of Munster
Yesterday we visited to town of Wuppental, and their zoo
Today we were walking by the lake, and the cathedral. Than a brief trip about the state museum. Where there were pieces of art both modern and even ancient. There was a hand carved crucifix, from the high middle ages. Reminded me, of the Lewis Chessmen

Skyline
Skyline.
Spoilers
Spoilers
Spoilers
It feels, like a pilot for a TV series. Its about the same length. Just under an hour a half.
It even has recognisable stars. Turk, from Scrubs, and Detective Angel from Dexter.
Anyway, Turk is playing almost the same character he plays in scrubs. He is the cool friend of a white guy. Instead of being a surgeon, he has made it big on the west coast. So, the lead, Jarrod comes to visit Turk, with his girlfriend in tow. The girlfriend, has become pregnant. As it telegraphed to us, the viewer. With his gf, getting morning sickness.
The film, is a series of homages. The most obvious is Cloverfield. Which is one of my favourite films of all time. I was surprised, that when Turk, was showing his friends his new home. He did not say. That the gf, belongs with them among the clouds- Starwars-Lando reference.
Anyway, there is a party. Which I guess, it to introduce, the fact that there is a telescope, in the flat. Lifter from Sliver. Anyway the party is interrupted by Aliens. Which use a blue light to bring people towards, them. Another guest. Has been dragged out to meet his death, and Jarrod is just saved by Turks intervention
Looking outside, our heroes see a ruined city. There is a great scene, when turning on the TV reveals 24 hour news stations broadcasting empty chairs. Twitter is dead, from 4am PST.
An attempt to escape to the marina. Is foiled, by a monster. Which kills Turk, and allows him to be replaced by Angel, from Dexter. The monster is straight from Cloverfield. Before that there had been a homage to Jurassic park, and the original war of the world. As Turk, hid in a flat, with his elderly neighbour
The attempted escape, is foiled by the Alien monsters. A couple are introduced, before being quickly despatched. A sub plot with Turk and his secretary/mistress is quickly wrapped up, with her death. A pity she looked like a young Eliza Dusku
Angel is introduced to be a protagonist. He pooh poohs, any attempt to get to the marina. He tells everyone to sit tight, and tries to get Jarrod to think positive. Jarrods gf, announces she is pregnant, when Turks gfs lights up. There is an attempt to introduce tension. Oh and time lapse. The toilets stop working. Though this is contradicted in a later scene. Where Angel comes out of the bathroom.
The US air force attack, with drones. They nuke one of the ships. Angel looking at the ship with the telescope is temporarily blinded by the flash. Nice touch. However the nuke, only works partially. The ship is knocked, down abut the aliens, are still buzzing.
The US airforce, do not use any more nukes. In the same way we stopped fighting world war two, when a bullet, did not stop the Nazi's
There is pitched fighting. Between the Aliens, and the survivors. The US army intervenes. They are less effective, than Jarrod and his girlfriend. Aliens are killed buildings are destroyed. There is a a Tom cruise war of the worlds reference. A soldier with a bazooka. However it is all for naught. The Aliens, capture of heroes. The couple. Who lock, in a kiss as they are brought up to the alien ship
There Jarrod, has his brain removed, to be turned into an Alien killing machine, but instead saves his baby and girl
It was okay. Mercifully short. There was no great characterisation here. You can imagine, this was originally written, with the hope Will Smith, and one of the Affleck's, would play the leads. Its a rip off of clover field, and a number of Alien invasion movies. There was a moral tacked onto the end. Jarrod despite his fears became a father. Despite not having a five year plan, and the Concierge's doubts. He protected his family.
The effects are okay. They have clearly borrowed from Cloverfield, and Predator, as well as independence day for their look
I was in mind of the blood control scenes, in Doctor who, the Christmas Invasion, when I saw this for the first time. More could have been made of the tension, of sharing a flat with strangers, and grief, but I guess that ended up on the cutting room floor
Like Rise of Planet of the Apes, feels like a pilot, or a TV movie.
