Event horizon acting from Robinson crusoe 1954 oscar winner irishman Dan O'Herlihy, he was pushing 70 by this time but percolates a slow motion riot actng masterclass in this segment of 'Halloween 3', 1982, playing the role of Conal Cochran, owner of 'Silver Shamrock'
Conal Cochran: Enjoy the horror-thon, Doctor, and don't forget to watch the big giveaway afterwards. Doctor Daniel Challis: Why, Cochran, why?
Conal Cochran: Do I need a reason? Mr. Kupfer was right, you know. I do love a good joke, and this is the best ever: a joke on the children. But there's a better reason... You don't really know much about Halloween. You thought no further than the strange custom of having your children wear masks and go out begging for candy.
... It was the start of the year in our old Celtic lands, and we'd be waiting in our houses of wattles and clay. The barriers would be down, you see, between the real and the unreal, and the dead might be looking in to sit by our fires of turf...
Halloween... the festival of Samhain!! The last great one took place three thousand years ago, when the hills ran red with the blood of animals and children. Doctor Daniel Challis: Sacrifices!
Conal Cochran: It was part of our world... our craft. Doctor Daniel Challis: Witchcraft!
Conal Cochran: To us, it was a way of controlling our environment. It's not so different now... it's time again. In the end, we don't decide these things, you know; the planets do. They're in alignment, and it's time again. .
The world's going to change tonight, Doctor, I'm glad you'll be able to watch it...
I've always thought Scott parker has the look of a philandering cad. A 19th century long firm con artist and Love Rat who would turn up unannounced at Downton Abbey and inform the Lord he's a nephew he hasn't seen since 1876, because he's been away "in the colonies".
Scott would spend a few days ingratiating himself with the family and making coarse, out of wedlock sexual overtures towards the Lords plain daughter with the illegitimate child, before the countess notices he doesn't know what order to use his cutlery in at the dinner table and smells a rat.
The butler would be enlisted to discretely get to the bottom of the whole thing and would end with Scottt being confronted with a bag full of stolen silver candlesticks, pocket watches and the nephew's death certificate.
Vindicated, The countess would take the train to London to see him publicly hung because "one must be able to look death in the eye."
Thus In my mind, this sordid affair must point to a thumping 4-1 defeat and Scott slipping the hangmans noose once more , only to raid Mrs Jones from 'Rising Damp's' post office account of her life savings, ÂŁ657.24p.
i agree mate. nothing more embarrasing that a middle age missed his boat raver like myself but christ, young people that cross my desk seem more miserable than a khmer rouge dance troop on a bonor regis butlins tour.
i sound like jimmys dad in 'quadrophenia' watching the who on 'top of the pops'..
I've read his bio a few times mate.. it's up there with Boy Georges 'take it like a man' and Marc Almonds 'Tainted Life'..
No drugs, booze or 48 hour chem sex parties like George and Marc... outside of the music it was just his struggles with Mania, mental health and sex addiction .
One thing that stands out for me was his memorys on being on the saturday night cannon and Ball show' dressed up like a camp spanish Matador being the butt of Bobby balls jokes...
Paraphrasing here but his record company were pushing 'goody two shoes' and told him he had to go through with it as Cannon and ball had 14 million viewers of a saturday night.
Adam said he felt like he had been pimped out for a cheap gag.. it wrecked him being a stooge for 14 million people supping double diamond and skol white top.
He didnt drink ..do drugs.
He was /is a fragile soul.
Some people, kensal , should have 'Handle with care' stamped on them when they are born. Probaly some of us on here as well.
cheers lads, i forgot about dirk's sox and the reverse 'D'. Used to draw this all over my school books.. i can still draw this from memory..
I was a shit non marine reinsurance broker for 16 years.. i'm an average probation officer of 13 years standing. The only thing i've ever been good at is drawing.
Adam Ant tomorrow night lads. Many of you are probably too young to remember but they were a half decent punk band before all that âPrince Charmingâ' âstand and deliverâ âgoody two shoesâ carcinogenic shit.
Always thought Adam was more than just a pop act.. Jordan. 'Sniffin Glue', Mclaren, vivienne westwood 'sex'. Blitz club, Rusty Egan... a Petri dish mutation of punk and new wave..
First guitar riff i learned at 13 was âDog eat dogâ on East ham Daves battered 60âs six string , Epiphone acoustic.
Not a huge fan Of Adams music after â81. but there you go . probably be a load of old nostalgic tom tit but âer indoors Jo deserves a night out..
Fantastical to me ,but according to wiki Adam is 69 and Marco Pirroni is 65!.. i always thought adam was in his early 60's and Marco was 80!
Who knows, probably percolate a tear or two while he knocks out 'Car Trouble' as i think of how young , beautiful , innocent and wonderfully Niave we all were back then before the weight of the world crushed our generation into molecular decimation, with its poison arrows of Mortgages, work, Kids, health, relationships, Divorce, money, Addictions and keeping your head above the plasma pool of basic need as a homo sapien in 2024 .
All that shit that is the knuckle duster of life 24/7 in the one square yard in front of your face.
Before that there was punk. And there was Adam.
Hello , my name is Glenn, I'm 56 and i'm An Adam Ant Addict.
I thought the same, but read the post again and i think it's to do with mustache panache rather than football ability.
Smyth compared to penrice is Ron lyle compared to John L gardner. i.e different worlds. Penrice was a solid 6.5 to 7 /10 striker in top tier company back in the mid 90's. Smyth is freebase coca at the bottom of the barell in comparrison . i.e fu ck all.
I love you epping forest tucker and tate bongo Steve. ..
I ring you up every thursday night to bend your ear with tales of my love for you.
However Bexy , as much as i love the overwheleming passion Smyth has for the blue and white hoops his final touch is worse than jeremey beadles right hand with a pack of haribos strapped to knob wandering the under 13 section of barnados at 2am. And i love him.
Don't think QPR, can carry Dembele, Smyth, Saito , Madsen and Anderson in the matchday 17 at the same time. Its micheal bentines pottytime on steroids.
Collectively they're Lighter than a pack of Durex fetherlite Ultra thin.
