And it definitely has the distinct advantadge of not being 'Come Home' or 'Sit Down', both of which are overplayed albatrosses around the bands neck; the 'Size of a Cow' which I could gladly do without ever hearing again.Grahamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12559723829031369045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750120863647373520.post-80474811547684987082007-05-06T20:51:00.000+01:002007-05-06T20:51:00.000+01:00having had a day in which I have earwormed "I...having had a day in which I have earwormed "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago, "These Sounds..." by the Bucketheads and "The King of Rock and Roll" by Prefab Sprout, it's probably no surprise that my James earworm has shifted from the one in this list...<br><br>it's now one or all of "Crash", "Just Like Fred Astaire" or "I Know What I'm Here For". <br><br>Yeah, I have been listening to "Millionaires". <br><br>Damn fine band.<br><br>STswisslethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16708248700851998044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750120863647373520.post-31713424692535325372007-05-06T13:07:00.000+01:002007-05-06T13:07:00.000+01:00Er, no.

My dad took me to see it when we were on holiday that year (I must have been about nine) and I slept through the whole thing. The same night, my mum took my brother to see ET (which dad and I had seen already) and he - being about four - cried right through it and had to be carried out and all the way back to the hotel on foot. Not a great success of an evening!Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11858850210791504996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750120863647373520.post-34170692128142033932007-05-05T21:04:00.000+01:002007-05-05T21:04:00.000+01:00....and now I feel really old that I saw them all .......and now I feel really old that I saw them all in the cinema (albeit I was too young to remember the first one.

It won the Oscar for best picture in 1977 and it's actually half-decent. Stallone wrote it based upon his own struggles as an actor, but realised that a film about actors had limited appeal and landed upon a hard-up, down on his luck boxer. It's a good film, and Rocky Balboa is one of the great cinema characters... and I think "Rocky Balboa" rounds off the cycle nicely by taking us full circle to a film that very much feels like the first one. <br><br>They are easy films to laugh at in many ways, but don't let the hubris of some of the sequels (and the cold war schtick in IV is especially dated) put you off these films.<br><br>and please also tell me that you have watched the original star wars trilogy?<br><br>STswisslethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16708248700851998044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750120863647373520.post-22687391856433092822007-05-05T16:53:00.000+01:002007-05-05T16:53:00.000+01:00Cannot stand that particular Mika single, but the ...Cannot stand that particular Mika single, but the new one <i>"Love Today"</i> is sheer genius.<br><br>Ah...
