I have a strange obsession for Debbie Harry; every piece of music I hear from me sounds golden and perfect, and I know I'm prolly the only one who think she's perfect

The only thing I love from Apple is the ipod; that's my favorite possession in the world; but the ipod is a windows version :)

Not when you're attempting to use a Mac performa 6200. Now, iMacs aren't that bad, but I just remember they always froze up on my when I was running a program in Pascal in school. The only good thing, in my opinion, about the old macs (I used to use a performa until 2001)is that you can play Myst on them.
Manchester United FC
Star Wars
Depeche Mode
New Order
Stephen King
Alien Abductions 
(not by choice!)
JRR Tolkien
Media coverage of sport stories 
And as for D.Harry: Sorry Tristan but could never see the attraction, and in my neck of the woods, I'm in a bit of a minority!

The best thing Debbie Harry ever did was Videodrome. Although, now that I think of it, that was a bit weird with the whole needle thing. Oh well...not my fantasy girl.

What about your obsession for accumulating obscure facts relating to small Manchester suburbs? I didn't know people from Stockport were called Stopfordians! So tell me then then coloquial names for Atherton and Tyldesley.

It could be a weird obsession if you didn't drink it I suppose.

I don't know about Tyldesley but I reckon people from Atherton are called either Chowbenters or Benters. 
That's close to Leigh, innit?

Nah, but neither are New Order or girls, are they? I reckon I missed the "weird" bit. Now Hibster, would you mind staying put with a name and avatar (I loved the Harold Lloyd one, actually) and who is this Maasaki chap?
Top marks Huber! Tyldesley is known as Bongs so the residents are Bongers. Worked in Atherton for 4 years and it took me 3 years to understand them even though I only lived 5 miles away!
I wouldnae call them weird obsessions......in no particular order.....

good points budvar. cant go back to hibster as left it on 1963. maasaki was the eponymous monkey in the seminal tv series - he was made of stone, came from a magic egg & used to fly around on clouds. the harold lloyd one was ace - took a photo of the picture i have of it in my lounge (was from safety last) but not happy with the resolution of it
Any piece of celluloid featuring spaceships, no matter how lame, weird or stupid (most of the time it's all these at once!)
Favorite hardware:
2001's Discovery One (or X-Ray Delta One if you're obessive as me!) Space 1999's Eagles Star Trek: The Motion Picture's Enterprise Alien's Nostromo Aliens' Sulaco Star Wars' X-Wings Blade Runner's spinners The Matrix's Nebochowhattheheckitscalled (the sub thing) Close Encounters of the Third Kind's Mothership
I have an 'avid' interest in the paranormal, and a 'slight' interest in Organic Peanut Butter.
Obsession is a powerful tag, but correct with my feelings on crisps.
Originally posted by Monsieur Round&Round The Matrix's Nebochowhattheheckitscalled (the sub thing)
am I alone in thinking that the nebuknezzer (sp) looks like a giant phillishaver?
(actually have a corgi model eagle spaceship lying around at the parents house somewhere)
Certain scenes in the Pamphlet Unfolded were startlingly reminiscent of Star Wayne. Which is interesting, as they had so far secured their own niche away from a galaxian far, far away.
And I cite:
The captains who offered their services to seek out the Fishslice craft which set sail a while back (Return of the Guppy Fish, where Han Stogie asks for crew to join him down to the forest planet of Curby-Endo)
The Architect describing the inner workings of The Pamphlet to Neil (Star Wayne, where Geoff Kenobi explains to Peter Skywalker the workings of the Fence)
and so on.
Had a pretty hectic week at work and at the house we call home. As such, I've had no chance to seek out the award ceremony.
Apologies.
Of course, I'll report as soon as I do.
I'll try harder.
I did see the advert for it.
This is actually an on-topic question, because of the extended Mattress parody that opens the show.
Did you see the show a few years ago with the Phantom Menace parody featuring Lisa Kudrow and Andy Dick? Watching the council scenes in Attack of the Kleins, I could think only of that really superb piece.
it may be on-topic on a different thread patrick - but it ain't on this one! i saw the program of which you speak & it was a pretty decent parody - how did they do the oracles bits?

I'm not sure what you mean, H2.
There seems to be as much effort put into these parodies than the awards and films themselves. Is there a case for an awards show about awards show ceremony parodies of their awards show nominees?
Isn't this more complex than the Matrices?
o!
well the actress who played the pracle was dead - keanus bits in the parody were all straight lifts from the film, but do not recall the oracle using language like that! (it wasnt the original oracle was it?)

No, it was definitely a different and much less talented actress. The hair was pretty similar though.

I can't think of any other awards show with parodies like this.
However, next year there should be a new category: best acceptance. Winner: Gollum.
Originally posted by masaaki sakai curses - missed gollums speech, saw yoda's though which was pretty good.
Gollum's was much, much better. The best thing on the show.
The Charlie's Angels parody was pretty good also.
Originally posted by Huntsman I heard Gollum's speach was overrated.
I bet you heard that from Yoda.

hey why don't you start evoking laughter on this thread I'm not sure, though it could be due to suffering a recent loss. I've mislaid the instructions to my Morphy Richards Comfi Grip Professional Plus(or Mr Comfy as I call him). I'm now having difficulties in retrieving the anti-scale cartridge and worse I'm not even sure whether or not I should attempt to do so without first emptying out the water inside. Which I’m reluctant to do as it’s a messy business and I’m sure it will be deemed unlucky by some future civilizations( though they may well have invented an easier way of obtaining crease free apparel, perhaps an advanced model of the Corby trouser Press and thus reducing ‘Mr Comfy’ to a defunct museum piece, like you or I may think of a mangle).
Do you see my predicament?
having trouble ironing out your problems there hank?
hang up the garment in the bathroomn & have a hot shower - lots of steam helps reduce creases* then leave clothes under your matress for the pressed look
*does not work on wrinkles.
That's easy for you to say but we've been through a lot together and I've grown attatched to Mr Comfy(though my surgeon assures me its not inoperable).

Nah, I've tried that and then you try to get out of the shower, eyes still full of shampoo and you're not as surefooted as usual since you had a couple of lagers to unwind upon reaching the hotel, so you slip, and in a desperate effort to keep your balance you clutch on the nylon curtain which is incapable of properly supporting your weigh, so the curtain gets tored off, the bar gives, the hanging clothes end up half inside the tube completely soaked and the other half equally soaked but inside the commode which you had left open as it's your custom after peeing and you yourself, completely naked but for the telling bits of lingerie still on ,legs akimbo and with heavy head contusion have to keep pressing the panic button to be rescued by the maid.

Just come clean you were attempting to position the mirrors in alignment with the t.v. which was on the porno chanel.

Absobloodylutely! A task make all the more difficult by the fact that them mirrors get full of steam so you end up paying for the porn chanel and having to watch it steam-codified.

So did it, since it made a heck of a lot more sense than episode I. The excessive computer animation and bad acting kind of got on my nerves in both, though.

And Yoda channeling his inner Matrix...I was watching one of the documentaries on the second disc of the DVD saying how the animators tried to make Yoda look believable all jumping around and kicking ass. Yeah, very convincing, fellas! :D

I loved the yoda light saber battle scene; he's seemed like a coked out fly with a light saber.

But not as much time as they did in Pearl Harbor. That movie would've been decent with just the battle scenes, sans the awkward love stuff and bad dialogue.

Yes that was good. Vince Vaughn has finally found his calling.
On the Star Wars subject... according to Cinescape, episode III will be called
Revenge of the Sith

Considering how awkward they were in Attack of the Clones, I doubt they'll be getting anything on on screen in the third.
