Around The World In A Day: Great summer album this one, even if it did kill off his career until Batman. After Purple Rain (which is still an all-time top 20 hit stateside) he did this album full of trippy shit which no-one liked. I like it, though, it's another grower. Single - Raspberry Beret Also includes some digs at America, proving Prince is one Yank that understands irony. Rating: **** -- Griff's Movie Review Message Board

In reply to: Rich 's message, "I promise this fucker will make sense soon: Parade (1986) It took me many listens to get into this one, another grower, nothing immediate. Single - Kiss. Great album tracks though (which have to be listened to several times to get a handle on the subtle instrumentation) include Christopher Tracy's Parade/Mountains Rich's Rating: ****" on 18:57:22 05/30/01 Wed

I've got a track by track review of U2's last album, I might post it to bore the shite out of you in return. I saw Edward, My Son this morning on TCM, another Spencer Tracy corker (****) and there was another one on in the afternoon, too. Also saw Run Lola Run (****) which I wanna put on your tape if you're interested, and Major League: Back to the Minors (**) cos Scott Bakula's in it. (NT) -- Griff, 20:18:32 05/30/01 Wed
- I'm gonna do loads of reviews in my holiday btw, but right now I'm still so high on Sky that I'd rather cram loads of films in rather than spend the time reviewing them. Only four days left of work, fans, then a whole lovely fortnight off! We've got a big visit tomorrow, where all the big cheeses come in and have a look round, and we all pretend that everything's perfect rather than moan about how short staffed we are. A really productive day. (NT) -- Griff, 20:21:17 05/30/01 Wed
  - I'm glued to Big Grigger but, try as I might, I just don't give a shit about Big Brother 2. The first one was boring at first but strangely hypnotic before it got genuinely interesting; the problem this time is that everyone in the house knows exactly what's involved and what the audience reaction will be, while most of 'em are either dull as fuck or trying way too hard to make an impression. I just don't care! (NT) -- Griff again, 20:23:43 05/30/01 Wed
    - And quit with the Virgin jokes, or I'll come raaaand yer gaff and knock yer block off! You're a big man but you're out of shape! Stroll on! (NT) -- Griff, 20:25:16 05/30/01 Wed
      - What, no reply? (NT) -- Griff, 05:32:33 05/31/01 Thu
        Does anyone remember this exchange? "Hey, Grigg, you're a bit like Star Trek VI aren't you?" "What, are you saying that..." "No, no, no, PLEASE, I don't wanna hear!" Haw haw haw! Hey, Grigg - a whole fortnight off, eh? I bet you'll write half a review, won't you? Tee-hee! (NT) -- Rich, 19:55:58 05/31/01 Thu
        I had a postcard from the postman telling me he tried to deliver a parcel while I was out and I have to pick it up tomorrow. It was recorded delivery as well - I'm coming in my pants wondering what it could be! I had a bet on Big Grigger just for the hell of it at William Hill today - �5 each on Derek Griffiths and Jim Jimmer. You're right, Grigg, Big Grigger is much better, isn't it? First week update this weekend! (NT) -- Rich, 19:58:34 05/31/01 Thu
        Actually, I liked Big Brother 2 when they were all wearing those bikinis... but WHY did that woman have to shout out "Narinda, your tits are falling out?" selfish bitch, I was enjoying that! Also, have you noticed how all the women don't give two shits about the gay guy touching/seeing their tits? You know where I'm going with that, don't you? "Hi, my name's Rich, I'm gay, honest, now let's cop a feel, you know you f****** wanna!" Do you like Jimi Hendrix, Grigg? (NT) -- Rich, 20:03:15 05/31/01 Thu
