Had not heard that song in 45 years. They used to play it on the 5th Floor at Myer Bourke St Store in 1974 when I worked part time in the Children's Shoes Dept when I was a high school student. Did anyone there listen to the lyrics? Incidentally, besides being an electronics engineer, I am also a trained children's shows fitter :wtf:. |

The Mandalorian is the best thing (so far) to happen since Rogue One. The rest of the movies have been various shades of crap (Although the Solo movie had its moments, but meh overall) |

Would not know about the Mandalorian as not been released in UK yet. :wtf: But if the reviews are anything to go by it should be worth the wait. Rogue One was probably my second or third favourite Star Wars film of all time, a superb piece of filmmaking and not at all what I expected. I remember the hairs standing up on my neck while watching it and my memory flicking back to watching the original series when I was just a nipper with my mother in the cinema. Incidentally, does anyone else wish we could go back to the days of ushers monitoring the films and whacking anyone who breathed a little loudly on the back of the head with a large stick before ejecting them from the film. People these days have no respect, if you are not getting treated to a nose full of the feet of the git behind you as he rests them on your shoulder, he is trying to see if he can move you forward a few rows by persistently kicking the back of your seat while holding a conversation about what he would like for his lunch the next day. Hence why I have a projector onto a 180” screen and a pretty kicking Kef 5.1 surround system, most of the time I would rather wait for BluRay releases and watch at home with a few beers. :popcorn: |

I'll get around to calibrating the projector one day... 180" diagonal is like 4m across, you got a big screen there.... The good thing about Japan is the theaters are practically silent even when full. Although it was weird watching Deadpool, only me and a couple other foreigners were actually laughing as the crappy jokes on screen. :D |
