Worm of Tapes with Comet Tale

IN CAMERA
by and with Peter Hammill
UK 1974

which is a music album, not a movie ;)

Hearing Hammill now feels almost like watching the great dwarf Tyrion struggling around in the "medieval" worlds of Game of Thrones.


This was already his fourth solo album "without" Van der Graaf Generator, but still I would easily confuse them as same. Cause differences doesn't really lie in the concepts - rather in each masterpiece, filled with so many richly changing shades.

from Bruno M. to miss Berry

Postcard to/from Fictive Character
in GLEE versus FAME




Hello goodbye, miss Berry!!
Today I dreamed we were in
the same tv-show. While you
stronger than ever made a
song from Le Mis, my fingers
were playing these keys like I
was in burning love or some-
thing... Well, in reality I would
choose your rival Quinn Fabray,
even if she dances better than
sings. However in my dream you
hit some really convincing strings
with your shining voice! Maybe
I could live with you being too
much ENTJ, while I'm too much
ISFP. Now my feelings wonder when

[left to right field]

we're gonna change series?! You may
travel to back to 1982 for FAME, or I
can join GLEE club by going all the way
to 2012. I've already completed a new
signature for us. At least they could use
our melody in one episode?! You surely
has so much to sing for whole world,
that you wouldn't notice the presence
of my keyboards? Especially now before
Christmas, and even more since your
beloved Finn is gone... Anyway I want
you Rachel to listen two minutes for
my tune, which would remind you of
the best steps you've ever taken so far!

THE MOLE in early Australian version

which hit me I could discover too!!
as I'm missing more episodes of the swedish "Mullvaden"
and want to finally solve a mystery...
or see if it's possible in the jungle of edited scenes.

Have just realised "The Mole" is a big concept
reinstalled by almost fourty countries,
started in Belgium
although hardly as huge and flashy as some other docu-soaps


Now I've watched Australia's first
season from 2000


-Who did I believe most was THE MOLE...?
(no right answer given here)


1. ABBY (absolutely)

2. BEN (probably)

3. JAN (would make good as)

4. ROCKY (could be)

5. BEVERLEY (maybe)

6. JAMES (don't know)

7. ALAN (not really)

8. LINDA (hardly)

9. PATRICK (no way)

10. JOSEPHINE (never even occured)

GONZO Going Home...

MUPPETS FROM SPACE
by Tim Hill, 1999


Even though The Great Gonzo's roots are developed, I still like his character better in just that lilac suit, fantastically old-fashioned already in -77.

And since there's almost too many hairy vegitables running around here, none given a full portrait (you may be completely lost if you haven't seen The Muppet Show before)...


...now I just mention five flowery animals (and none of the robotic humans) I feel contributes relatively much to making this movie a special experience:


1. PEPE THE PRAWN (brings a fresh edge to it all)

2. DR. BUNSEN or his assistant BEAKER (fixing a Door-in-a-jar)

3. DR. VAN NEUTER (heartless brain surgeon)

4. ANIMAL (using the toilet as cleaning water)

5. MISS PIGGY (more self-righteous than ever?!)


Why didn't Waldorf & Statler made alot of ironic comments over this production? They just sit in the living room sofa, makes a lazy joke and never fills their mission. Also the musical element is missing here.

Finding Neverland Again

PETER PAN
based on J.M. Barrie's story
Disney 1953


Never seen this whole classic movie, only some pictures woven together for an audio-book story when I was a child. Nonetheless I recognized more than I thought... of appearances as well as intrigue. What I've missed is that Peter Pan is such a super-attractive phantom in the eyes of many different ladies ;) Why doesn't anyone choose Captain Hook?

Tinker Bell's tough role I think was down-sized compared to this movie - maybe since she speaks completely through actions and body language = doesn't talk. The shimes sound of her clinging wings also declared it was time to turn pages...




my SnowBlack Movie # 1345


Happy role: WENDY DARLING

Grumpy role: TINKER BELL

Crazy role: MR. SMEE

Shy role: JOHN or MICHAEL


Explosive role: CAPTAIN HOOK

Exhausted role: THE CROCODILE

Wise role: NANA THE DOG


Beautiful role: TIGER LILY

Van Der Graaf Generator working even better with Violin

sounds so fantastic organic, even if it were a relatively forced renewal to the organs, saxophones and drums they already played so well



THE QUIET ZONE / THE PLEASURE DOME
Van Deer Graaf 1977

composed by captain Peter Hammill
with new musician Graham Smith on violin


Seventh full record of the 70's, held as being their most "accesible" album, for being a band who made such complex music. With a bit shorter pieces than before, this was VDG(G):s last studio album for many years silence to follow...



my Autumn Album 13 : 42


most Mysterious song: THE SIREN SONG

most Melancholic song: THE WAVE

most Smart song: CAT'S EYE / YELLOW FEVER

most Growing Strong song: CHEMICAL WORLD

most Sexy song: LIZARD PLAY

Woody goes to French Nightlife almost a Century Ago

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS
movie by Woody Allen
France, Spain, USA 2011


A bit shallow portrait of Paris, but should be like that since this is a comedy. Furthermore the protagonist seems a both naive and awkward american.

Happy role: GIL HIMSELF (Owen Wilson)
