Funny you should say that, here's what it says on its Wiki page...
"The Lone Ranger" was first released in 1976. After it was chosen as Tony Blackburn's BBC Radio 1 "Record of the Week" (the nationwide morning radio show with the highest ratings in the UK at the time), it was banned when some fragments of lyrics were deemed to contain references to drugs and homosexuality. The BBC stopped playing the record, and it failed to chart.
Quantum Jump disbanded at the end of 1977 but the band would, however, make an unexpected return two years later when a re-release of "The Lone Ranger" single became an unexpected hit. The song had been widely played by Kenny Everett on both his radio and TV shows. Re-released in 1979, it eventually reached number 5 in the UK Singles Chart.
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu, which is a hill in New Zealand. The Name was the inspiration for the 1979 hit "The Lone Ranger" by Quantum Jump. It was slightly altered to sound as if it were Native American, in keeping with the Lone Ranger and Tonto theme. It is chanted as follows:
I've just watched the trailer for River and it reminded me of "Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes". I then saw in the comments that River is the director's bigger-budget follow-up to it so if you haven't seen it yet it's worth a watch.
Demi Moore looked great in Landman which is another great series staring Billy Bob Thornton, (following on from the excellent Goliath).
I was recently introduced to a series called Love, Death and Robots which, having only seen 2 very short episodes (about 12 minutes each) looks right up my street.
*edit* Just realised the thread is about films and not TV series. Never mind, I'll leave them here anyway.
I fully understand the annoyance of throwing in the towel in the second half but I think it was a tactical decision from Marti. The board stuck with Marti when things weren't going well and he stuck with Ashby and Madsen for similar but also slightly different reasons.
One argument is that Marti gave Ashby more time to try and rectify his mistakes of the first half. He didn't but if he did we would be talking about how Ashby showed his professionalism to keep a cool head and show us there's a decent player in there after all. If he'd come off at half time his confidence would have taken a severe dent and who knows how long it would take for him to recover from that and that's not what we need from a player on loan.
Madsen is different in that he's had enough chances to prove he's a footballer and he's decided it's not his preferred profession so that should be last we see of him. The reason I say it was a tactical decision is because our squad is still a bit thin despite most of the crocks returning. The January window is gaping so if we need to get rid of a few and get a few in, the message has been sent loud and clear who we need to replace/send back and I'd much rather he did that in a game we lose every year than against Plymouth/Hull etc.
Annoying but can see why he did it....but that's only my opinion of course.
Oxford had only won four games before Xmas have just won three in a row.
OOPs, BBC table was in real time, thought they were going to be on 30 points with their first win away but no, on 27 points. Still, they were joint bottom Xmas eve, now 18th. Gotta love this league.
Shirley Marti's 'multi year contract' extension ties him down at least for a year? Can't see him going anywhere until he has finished a season with us sitting proudly atop the mid table huddle.
Probably too early to say he's had a dramatic fall but Chris Willock should be playing at a higher level but suddenly doesn't seem to care....which made me think of Adel....what a waste of talent.
*Edit* hit the wrong button, was not meant to reply to stowmarketrange.
"After the last five games, I'm thinking that Shefield Utds points deduction might work in our favour, and may well be the difference between us being in the Play-Offs or being in the automatic promotion places.
Thoughts?!"
(checks page 3 of the glossary)
Well, it was a must win game! And "We can definitely still make the play-offs!"
Enjoyed the film of the same name so expected a bit more meat on the bone with the story being split over six episodes. In the end six wasn't enough as they were constantly skipping past years and that's a shame as there was so much more that could have been included.
For example, there was next to nothing shown of his dedication to improving the car and how he physically drove it differently to everyone else. All that being said, it was very good and he's still the Messi of F1 for me. Such a shame that he had to die before substantial changes were made to driver safety.
*Edit* Putting on my little pedantic hat. The credits average out to around 12 minutes long and if you cut them out, episode four is only 40 minutes and episode six is 46 minutes. The rest fall short of the hour so, yeah, I know, I'll take the hat off now. 12 minutes of credits though, wtf!
If it wasn't a 'like' every five seconds it was an 'um' at the slightest hint of a pause. Todays annoyance is "I'm not gonna lie". Well that's awfully decent of you chap but you could have just chosen to tell me the truth without the unnecessary preamble. Which, unfortunately, now makes me believe that you may indeed be about to lie.
Edit. Ah crap, that was meant to be a reply to Logman.
