How did I never know that Martin Shaw was in Cranford? I finally got around to watching the second disc of the series, and suddenly when I least expect it there's Martin with his salt and (a tiny bit of) pepper beard, smiling with that fantastic chipped-tooth smile. I about fell out of my chair. He's only in it for a few minutes, but he plays Judi ( Read more... )

Gosh, I'm really really behind. This weekend was... overwhelming, and now I'm having all kinds of technical problems with the two books that are putting me further and further behind. So much for regular posting!

I think I would give this one to Miracles. Back in the day, when TV shows weren't uploaded to torrents, you ( Read more... )

We had an utterly gorgeous weekend in Ventura for Escapade this year. Smack on the beach, in the 70s, and black_bird_777 and I had a Mitsubishi Spyder convertible that we had the top down most of the time on.

It was playing very badly, stuttering and jerking, for both me and a couple folks I asked to test out, but on my Windows machine this ( Read more... )

One of the most popular vids the Media Cannibals ever made is at long last live on the Circuit Archive -- Detachable Penis by King Missile. It's always fun watching this in a crowd, waiting for the stuff in the beginning song intro to start to make sense in people's brains, and the slow, tittering reactions. Love it ( Read more... )

Durr, I am such a dumbass. I sent justacat the web file for one of the Media Cannibals remastered Professionals vids, and then I totally forgot to check the Circuit Archive to see if it was up. Finally remembered today ( Read more... )

Tender Comrade is the latest entry in the digitally remastered Professionals vids from the Media Cannibals, by way of justacat's tireless efforts, on the Professionals Circuit Archive. It's a lovely, quiet look at the bonds between comrades in arms, to a (for its time) very unusual a capella song by Billy Bragg.

I hope I'm not jumping the gun, but I see that the links are all there and if I am, I trust that justacat will rap my knuckles. The re-remastered vid of the old Media Cannibals classic A Fire Is Burning is available for download at the Professionals Circuit Archive. Download the Divx avi version ( Read more... )
