Sinister: Lucksmiths
by Girl Racer 05 Jun '98

05 Jun '98

hi everyone, Are the Lucksmiths good? the local British-music-shop has a little note on their album that indicates that fans of Belle & Sebastian would like them.

Sinister: cartoons and dylan
by FoxInASnow＠aol.com 05 Jun '98

I seem to have walked on this discussion list into the middle of a cartoon discussion. Not quite what i expected, but hey, i'm cool, i can handle it. krivas(a)codon.nih.gov writes: > But my favorite animated flick of all time has to be "The Last Unicorn." I > even have it on videotape. It was the only cartoon I knew of that actually had > curse words in it ("damn" and "hell" - not really that harsh now, but to an 8 > year old, they're pretty strong). I always loved that movie. It's based off of the Peter S. Beagle book by the same title, an absolutely lovely story that i've always thought of as a children's story for adults. We have an ancient copy lying around the house somewhere (although it seems to me that i looked for it when i was home over Christmas break and to my great dismay could not locate it anywhere), but i've never been able to find it anywhere else, so i suppose it's quite out of print (either that, or i've always looked in all the wrong places). Ah well. But on another note - and here is where i attepmt to fit Belle and Sebastian back into the picture - i have another movie to watch sometime soon. My friend, upon learning that B&S has a song about her hero, loaned me her copy of "Don't Look Back," the Bob Dylan movie. Has anyone seen this? I'm not really sure how much watching the movie will enhance my B&S listening experiences, but the anticipation is still kind of exciting. Jess. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Sinister Bear and Rainbo Bright

OK. I can say something about it. I remember seeing the 1st movie in the theater when I was 9. I was thrilled because that was the first time I had ever been abandoned by any parental authority (my friend's parents were in charge of us that day which explains why) to go see a movie. I remember enjoying the movie, but halfway through, I bit my tongue and drew blood as I was having some pop corn. I remember that movie being played one Thanksgiving afternoon on TV and out of nostalgia, I was a bit curious to see it (I was 14 at the time), but I got bored and wandered off pretty quickly. I can't tell you a thing about the plot. I think they were battling something evil. Aren't they always? I got hit by a wave of nostalgia just yesterday when I went into a clothes store and they had Strawberry Shortcake doll t-shirts. Everyone had the doll when I was in kindergarten and bring her to show and tell. Yes, everyone had seen one, but I brought mine, too! The smurfs are my favorites. On any day of the week, my mom had to drag me out of bed to go to school, but I specifically asked her to wake me up at 7:30 on Saturdays to see that show. Go figure. I miss the days of stuffing my face with breakfast cereals and chocolate milk and watching cartoons I wouldn't dare think to see these days. Oh, I have to ask this for any Aussies on the list: What the hell is the deal with the Bananas in Pajamas show? Or, as my friend likes to call it, "Dildos in Tuxedos." I work for a tv station where I run it every morning and their demenor is reminiscent of Terrence and Phillip on the Southpark show. It's one of the goofiest things I've ever seen, and I have to wonder why Australia hasn't received the recognition it rightly deserves for being the producer of the greatest soaps and children's shows on earth. s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Iron Chefs
by Girl Racer 04 Jun '98

04 Jun '98

Henry wrote: >Can you explain how a cookery program can be so good ypu plan to >watch it? indeed i can. "Iron Chefs" is not your ordinary cooking instruction show, it's actually a cooking competition, where there are 3 chefs who are always on it, who are calle dthe "Iron Chefs" (for americans, it's kinda like the whole American Gladiators premise, but not so crappy) Anyway, a challenger chef comes on, and challenges one of the Iron Chefs. then the "secret ingredient" is revealed, for example it could be "eel". Then the Chefs have an hour to make a full meal where each item in the meal has to contain the secret ingredient. Whils they are racing around cooking, there are announcers excitedly giving the play-by-play, and they sometimes even have slo-motion instant replays when something exciting happens like a bunch of fire whooshes up or something. at the end they have a taste test to decide who wins. It's all very dramatic. Also the M.C. of the show is awesome, and wears the coolest Liberace-style flamboyant outfits. I highly recommend watching it, if you have any Asian cable channels where you live. (the show is Japanese) Also i've seen tapes of the show for rent in Japanese markets. tasha -- Tasha Wedeen tasha(a)pixar.com http://www.geocities/~girlracer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Huh huh. A "Scooby" film!!??? Lame!!!!! Well here's something kinda cool....Sid Krofft was saying last weekend that they're working on an HR Pufnstuf MOVIE!!!! I know...it sounds questionable, but they're getting that same guy who did Ed Wood to do it..it's got a fighting chance. They had Disney working on a Land Of The Lost film for the past 2 years or something. They were killing it so they yanked it. Ah well. sorry there was no B&S up in here. beth ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Hello, Mention of Henry's cat reminded me of Inspector Gadget, because those were the two cartoons that people used to make jokes about when I was around. Very funny. Go go Badgett laugh.

Sinister: inspector gadget

am i the only person who has heard about the possibility of an inspector gadget real life action film? i'm *sure* i read somewhere that matthew broderick was potentially being cast as yer geezer with the expandable legs. that - and the news of screech from saved by the bell (god! does life get any worse than that?) is going to play shaggy in a scooby doo film - just goes to show how utterly bereft of ideas hollywood is at the moment. i mean would you get a portland bill film here? actually not a bad idea. a crossover with cockleshell bay maybe.... chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Duffy
by Jochen Stepan / WA 04 Jun '98

Hi folks, here in Germany exists a quite big *free* magazine for descent music called "Intro". They have become quite tasty and modern with the music they write about. There's a page where celebrities judge the latest records and at the end they have to tell, what's their all-time faves. Duffy listed "Tigermilk" by B&S at rank 2!! (Can't remember what was number 1). Is he cool or what? Jochen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: t.v. o.d.
by Janine Papp 04 Jun '98

04 Jun '98

This whole cartoon discussion is beyond me because I, too, was not allowed to watch cartoons. My mother wouldn't let me or my sister watch any violent or sexist television - which eliminates about 99% of TV shows. Cartoons were deemed "violent." All of them. By the way, I just finished my website for my zine, Temple of Sting. Won't you go take a look at it? http://members.tripod.com/~JanineBee Janine ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
