At last

Part Three )

Delay caused not by failure of inspiration but by uncertainty--I think it may need some redoing and I'm not sure how. Apologies anyway. Part four will follow at Some Point.

(no subject)

The best horror movie soundtrack of all time, ever, as they say in the adverts, was composed by someone who, as far as I can tell, had never done one before and never did again, though he did do other film work and lots of radio and television. David Lee (who is on IMDB as David Lee(IV) if I remember correctly, and on ISIRTA as "Dave Lee and the boys") produced a stonker of a score for Roger Corman's Masque Of The Red Death, and I now have it on my computer after forty years of searching.

I've always said I wouldn't bother with a funeral, as and when the time came; just wrap me in a bin bag and carry me in a wheelbarrow to the nearest field in need of fertiliser. But if I could have this music, then I think some small ceremony might be nice. The mourners, dressed as scantily as decency would allow and spattered with red body paint, would dance solemnly and sinuously around the coffin as, borne by six bearers wearing monastic robes in bright colours, it passed through the streets of Westbury to the cemetery. The officiating cleric, of course, would have to wear red.

But I expect the locals would kick up some sort of fuss, so probably best stick to the original plan.

Small chuckle

...as intrepid, rugged outdoorsman Cheeze Byrgers Bear Grylls, having scaled dizzying heights and leapt bottomless chasmsmsms, looks round to find he is on the final letter of an enormous stone word hanging in an illimitable white void, and the camera cuts away just before that embarrassing "Waaaa! I want my mum!" moment.

(Not to disparage the gentleman in question, who I'm sure is much braver than I am.)

nuWho

I don't really need to say anything, do I? If you didn't notice, like, everything about this episode, then I'm glad for you and enjoy. If you did, it's redundant of me to point it out.

EDIT: and the Confidential is doing about all they can do under the circumstances, viz. "Moffat's Greatest Hits." Big surprise.

FURTHER EDIT: bloody hell, they've obviously redefined "logic" again when I wasn't looking...

Well, obviously I do need to say things, don't I? With everyone going on about how impeccable the logic is supposed to be...
