Rich's Fan Mail:

"Hi Richard-

I've read almost all of your reviews. A lot of them are pretty funny with some bite to them as well. You're very articulate and the insights are wonderful. I agree with about 95% of your opinions. What I find interesting is sometimes you'll review some off-the-wall horror flick. I noticed a few John Carpenter films in your reviews. Have you seen his version of "The Thing"? Personal fav of mine in the sci-fi/horror genre.
I've written a few reviews on television shows, but that's about it. Sometimes I would like to write a movie review but I can't express my thoughts as well as someone as yourself :) It's much easier to read someone else's...

Seen any good movies lately? I'd love to hear some good recommendations.

Take Care,
Bill"

Incidentally, here's the (Terrestrial) TV Movie Previews:

Die Hard With a Bullshit; Hard Target (worth the slag-off?); An American Overrated Werewolf In London; Mo' Money; The Englishman Who Tediously Went Up A Hill, And Bored Us Shitless Coming Down A Mountain; Jumpin' Jack Flash; Rambo: First Blood Part II (**); Mean Streets (****); Mutiny on the Bounty Bar; Clueless; The Apartment and Cosmic Slop.

Incidentally, Grigg, while I may have been a bit harder in my Star Cops reviews, the only one you've really influenced me on was This Case... which I used to think was the pits, but thanks to your anti-Boucher rhetoric I actually took it up several points. I hope you're proud that Star Cops has received further praise thanks to you! Now scroll down... (NT) -- Rich, 16:23:48 05/29/01 Tue
- Oh, btw, Bubble was tired and subdued in last night's Big Brother... if you think that's annoying then you should see him when he's hyper. All those quotes I put under Bernie Clifton are genuine... he's a c***, pure and simple. (NT) -- Rich, 17:01:45 05/29/01 Tue
'Bill' is clearly your alter ego, madman, so get down your doctor for some anti-schizo medication pronto. Stars: Die Hard With a Vengeance ****; Hard Target ***; An American Werewolf In London **; Mo' Money; The Englishman... ***; Jumpin' Jack Flash **; Rambo: First Blood Part II **; Clueless ***. (NT) -- Griff, 20:34:45 05/29/01 Tue
- Oops, forgot to delete Mo Money there, what a fool. Billy's getting me a couple of vids today that I'll copy you cos I know you'll wanna see 'em... I'll keep 'em secret though, to surprise you. I wouldn't mind hearing a bit of Prince actually, he has his moments. LaToya Jackson's currently getting her kit off on Playboy TV, you'll be interested to hear. Bills gets back on Friday... sigh... (NT) -- Griff, 20:37:43 05/29/01 Tue
  And that's why they call me Emperor of HTML. I had a full day today, shall I tell you what I did? I tried to crack on with Sapphire and Steel, but I couldn't take any more than ten minutes, I was bored to tears. So I watched the Spin City with Chris Lloyd (***), Sundays X Files (***1/2), an episode of the Starship Troopers cartoon (**), episode 2 of Seven Days (***) and a Spencer Tracy movie that was on this morning, Tortilla Flat (**). (NT) -- Griff, 20:40:49 05/29/01 Tue
  Oops! I forgot to delete your multiple Bruce Lee shite down the page, better do that. Oh yeah, and I also saw a documentary on ILM which had Bob on it (***) and I taped a shitty clip thing on Sci-Fi on the off chance it had a bit of BTTF on it - it had an ad with all the circuitry in the Delorean lighting up and Michael J. Fox putting on a pair of sunglasses. Then this woman's voice says "How far ya goin'?" and he goes "About 30 years." (NT) -- Griff, 20:44:48 05/29/01 Tue
  I've never seen this before and I don't actually know what it was used for, so I'm a bit excited about that! I shat myself, in fact. The show it was on is a right piece of crap. It's called A Century of Sci-Fi and all it is is this bored voiceover droning stuff like "Science fiction films have often depicted space travel", before showing a few anonymous clips of space travel in science fiction films... really in-depth, eh? But that BTTF clip... wow! (NT) -- Griff, 20:47:26 05/29/01 Tue
  I give Heat ***1/2 - good stuff, but a bit too long. Still, what do you expect, Al Pacino? Erm, hang on a sec... (NT) -- Grigg, 20:51:16 05/29/01 Tue
  Coyote Ugly was a lot better than the trailer made out... I'd give that ***, and Charlie's Bollocks, I guess. I'd certainly give that Piper a good Perabu. Pleeeeeeeease tell me what those two vids are, don't keep me in suspense! Right, Prince for Grigg, I'm on it!!! (NT) -- Rich, 21:32:12 05/29/01 Tue
  Btw, how far over the top was Al Pacino in Heat? I didn't realise they repeat Big Grigger in the afternoons... they can't include all the swearing and shower shots, surely? Which is why I watch it after the watershed... (NT) -- Rich, 21:33:28 05/29/01 Tue
  Okay, so just watch 10 minutes at a time. Trust me, Grigg, you won't be bored by episodes 7 & 8, which is where the whole plot picks up and comes to fruition. We seem to have lost the will to do our Universal site at the moment, don't we? Oh well, let it hang for now, we'll have a summer chill and finish it one day... (NT) -- Rich, 21:36:17 05/29/01 Tue
  Why are you torturing me like this, Rich? What have I done to deserve you going on and on about Sapphire and Steel even though it's one of the most exruciatingly boring shows I've ever seen? Please, I beg you, stop it! We have kind of let the site slide, yeah - but I'll give you a little clue about the vids Billy's bringing back... they're related to the site. Now that's all I'm telling you, you'll have to wait for the rest! (NT) -- Griff, 07:24:25 05/30/01 Wed
