RE: I've Never Seen Star Wars

I had a Godafather Trilogy on VHS, DVD, DVD again and now Blu-ray. I have a 'Godfather day' at least once a year. (When everyone else out.) 

My individual Sopranos DVD series boxsets are all falling apart through overuse and I keep meaning to splurge on a new boxset.

I'm awful at maths, but I once correctly recognised the Fibonacci Sequence in a quiz. Pretty chuffed with that Smile  I didn't tell anyone I only recognised it because of this tune...

BT - Fibonacci Sequence

It was the first time I had ever heard of it as well - seen it pop up in films a few times since then too Smile

Well, it's always difficult to find that special "me" time I guess...  Shock

I'm the same; greatest film and tv show of all time for me. The Godfather is timeless and perfection from acting, music, costume and cinematography. The Sopranos changed tv shows and raised the bar. An amazing programme.

My dad hadn't heard of Marilyn Monroe or Frank Bruno.

RE: I've Never Seen Star Wars

On the music front, I've never listened to any Led Zeppelin or Jimmy Hendrix  Shock (and like the LHC, never heard Dark side of the moon either)

On films, I can't think of any of the big/mainstream films I haven't seen at least some part of (including Top Gun which, whilst having some pretty naff acting, did have some of the best flying sequences I've seen yet)

On a general "others" front, I've never been to the ballet, never been to see a play at the theatre and, strangely enough, I've never travelled on a train!

Err, probably. At the moment yes, but I'm first reserve somewhere else if I'm needed, could be called upon at any time up to Thursday night.

I didn't think you were going on Friday?

Yup, who knows, this year I may even talk to you! 

 

That sounds creepier than it was supposed to, previous times I've been queuing for the WHF demos and didn't want to lose my place, you've got to get your priorities right you know?

Pffft, I'd rather listen to Les Paul to be honest, technical genius, Suspicious Minds aside I struggle to listen to Elvis for any length of time.
