An absolute TV classic of the paranoid conspiracy mystery genre and yet it seems hardly known about, even compared to other 90s classics like Dark Skies or Oliver Stone’s Wild Palms never mind the X-Files.
As a UK viewer it only came across my radar in the first wave of file sharing in the early 2000s and I was totally hooked - kind of a cross between the The Prisoner, Parallax View and the Twilight Zone.
Kudos to the uploader for making the series available on PW as I’m sure more episodes will be going up shortly.

🤔The band biog details?
Or the 🗣️ Talking Heads 🗣️ clip?
Or the tiny Rickman clip 📎 ?
Or was there more 🤯
Was a wee bit young myself but I was a 70’s baby
Plus not an American..England here
The gIG venues I ran were 94’-2001
But more than one band mentioned in this played for me which gave me a little self confidence boost
I started going 2 gigs when I was 14 .. & at that time here the place to be was Manchester - which is where I am from 🙃
In the 80s I saw
The Cramps
The Damned
The Cult (7 times)
Iggy Pop
& Many more
At midsized venues
saw a lot of the later hardcore punk bands at toilet venues squat gigs and Punx Picnics

Don’t want to ruin it, but I’m talking about the very, very last few lines under the heading: “This film is dedicated to…”
It’s always nice to be recognised, sounds like you are having an interesting life, nice one.

I somehow missed this, love Rickman. Missed out on the punk scene due to age and circumstances so was great to get some insight into this scene and at the same time see great acting in a fun film.

BRILLIANT FANTASTIC SUPERDUPER
Loved every minute.
Great Music
Alan Rickman was perfect casting
Learned the proper history of a club/bar/venue that I knew a bit of .
I loved it all the more because it was a toilet venue that became World famous.
I ran a place so similar it brought back so many memories, we had gigs upyo 6 nights a week - upto 15 bands a week..
As the promoter/manager you work the most hrs days and nights and are often missed out of the “thanks to sound guy, the lighting guy, the gig goers” list, so This was so good to see.
I am thanked by some bands on CD credits which I only discovered years later and it brought tears to my eyes

Really expected to like this. Liked the subject matter but bad acting and being not the least bit funny ruined it for me. Otherwise it was great, 1/5

Nothing special about this one, was like so many other movies. I thought the older boyfriend was funny, but was not really a comedy film. It seemed to be mainly based around one event involving a dog (you get the point), and not alot else. 6/10
The Cannonball Run (1981)
It was fun - but a total rip off of the 1976 Gumball Rally.

This is a story about a few of the millions of poor innocent furry critters we run over each year and how they have adapted to deal with this human-induced carnage. Loved it 5/5.

Classic UK sixties comedy/satire as a small fictional European country accidentally creates anti-gravity fuel and along with the Americans and Russians a race is on to be the first to land on the Moon.
While most would characterise this as a gentle comedy and indeed its an all star comedic cast with Margaret Rutherford, Terry Thomas and Bernard Cribbins, however the script does have its moments such as when the American and Russian scientists accidentally reveal their Third Reich origins or the hype of the British watch worn by the astronaut played by Cribbins.
Though I remember watching this a kid on Saturday afternoons as an alternative to the horse racing on BBC2, I had only realised it was a Dick Lester film later and its amazing to think that just 7 years later via the couple of Beatles films he created The Bedsitting Room, a work of deranged genius.

Enough already, bring back some monsters! Tribbles in the mycelial network, a salt-sucking worm to stop Saru from annoying us with those swingy arms, Burnham vs the Gorn…

Agreed, one the few movies that gets me laughing to where it hurts.
Should have listened to most of you, this movie is not good, a disjointed mess.
