As the show was about nothing I say the same about this thread and therefore proclaim it a Sienfield.

Not Friends? Another nothing show. Actually I love Sex and the City myself (so does mein fraulein), nice girls, I have the hots for Kim Cattrall, Sandra fancies the guy who plays Aidan (the silly twit).

Dennis, yep Candice Bergen was lovely in 'Jack's favorite film of 1975', love the bit when the Raisuli clobbered her for laughing at him, I know exactly how he feels.

Quick I see Jack coming lets scarper (hey theres a word you don't see much nowadays, scarper, scarpering).

"Mrs. Pedicaras ..."

Once again, Barry Lyndon ... is ... my ... favorite ... film ... from 1975. Barry Lyndon. Directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Ryan O'Neil and Marisa Berenson (who, industry insiders report, was very Sean Young before there was a Sean Young appearing in movies).

As for The Man Who Would Be King: I love that movie! Absolutely love it. More than The Wind and the Lion.

Too bad about the DVD transfer (horrid). And too bad that The Wind and the Lion isn't even on DVD yet.

And, finally, the Seinfeld reference by our leader, my boss, and site co-owner Parker Clack: Hey, if you want to see a thread that's really about nothing, check out the current generation/incarnation of "Thread Killer."

Parker: Aren't you on the boat? You were going on the cruise, right? Ron reports that the ship is festooned, dominated by AVS Forum members. If I read correctly, he said that many of the AVS people haven't even heard of HTF.

This upsets me. HTF shall overcome. AVS will one day be second banana to us. HTF rules, damn it.

Well, it's your third favorite film from 1975 too!

Now, have we any further observations about and rememberances from 1975? Anybody else care to share a 1975 moment with us before we move on to 1976?

Hang in there, Dennis. We all know Steve is capable of making mistakes. What's one of your fave 1975 moments? (I still get a chuckly when I think about Jerry Ford stumbling down that airline ramp. It helped make Chevy Chase such a hit on SNL.)

Young Frankenstein came out in 1974.


Technically you're correct, it came out Dec 1974, but it didn't open over here in London until 1975, and thats when I saw it for the first time, so for me it was a 1975 film (satisfied grin).

"That's Fron-kon-steen!"

Hi Thi! (Hi Thi doesn't have that ring to it now that we know its pronounced 'tea', never mind), welcome back to this cafe on a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair, warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air, up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light... oops sorry got a bit carried away.
hmmm how many posts are we upto now, 258! Wow! not bad, my previous longest thread was the 'Greatest Soundtrack Ever' thread which had about 120 posts. So for a non-tourney thread its doing great.. well until it gets reaped.

Yeah its one of those newfangled unkillable threads like the 'Thread Killer' thread, every time it gets cut down, a new one rises from the ashes, like a phoenix.
(actually a complete lack of response can kill it, but shhh don't tell anyone).

Thats weird, don't forget 'Thread Killer' would have had around 1000 posts by now if it wasn't gutted every now and than, I think its on its 4th incarnation, and I posted over 200 times on there, has 'testy' affected it? Should I feel guilty?

Jack:

Nope. I had to skip out on the cruise. I just didn't have the funds.

Thi:

OH MY GOD!

Dennis:

Damn your eyes!!

After your Cees comments you should get used to hearing...


Dead man walking!

Oh my god. Feel The Power.

I live in fear and trembling myself when it comes to Parker Clack. (Looks like you're not missing much from eschewing the cruise. HTF should dominate whatever event it chooses to participate in or sponsor. But good for RAF!)

Any other 1975 moments to share? Steve, shall we proceed with 1976? *looks at watch; later realizes he doesn't have one*

Jack, clear to go 1976, repeat, clear to go 1976, over and out.

Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast,
for it is the number of a man;
and his number is six hundred and sixty-six."

Um Mike, Thread Killer is unkillable, someone will revive it, a matter of time, After Hours just isn't the same without it.

Bought "Shadow of the Vampire" on dvd today at a bargain price just £6, anyone hear of this weird little film? Willem Dafoe plays Max Shreck the actor who played the original Nosferatu back in 1922, only in this film he turns out to be a real vampire, John Malkovich plays F.W.Murnau the director of the movie 'Nosferatu'.
I haven't watched it yet, but it's interesting no?



Nosferatu.1922

[So what were you all doing in 1922 than?]

Look, Steve. If you don't want to bow down before me, that's cool. I'm down with that.

But lets face the facts. Thread killer is dead. Testy is king. Long live the king!

I am more than willing to bow before you--recognizing the greatness that has fathered this thread!

No Nosferatu for me today, but I DID buy a VeggieTales DVD. Haven't seen one episode featuring these cute singing vegetables, but everyone tells me I'm in for a treat. I will report back.

Thread Killer. Testy.

Fate.

You people need to spend time in Los Angeles, the city where nothing ever stays in just one place.

Whatever happens to Thread Killer we simply must accept. The memories can never be taken from any of us. It was our Camelot.

Smile when you think of Thread Killer. Dr. Howard would be proud.

But I don't want to be worshipped Mike, it's a bit you know embarrassing [cringes], bowing before Cthulhu is one thing.. but chanting my name during satanic orgies is another, would this also entail my minions prostrating themselves before an erect statue of me? I don't know, give me a minute to think about it.

Thread Killer is a legend Jack, I'm sure it's only resting, um [big grin] we're all waiting for 1976 btw [Jack wishes he never started the yearly thing].
