ah Sylvia did the costumes, yes it all makes sense-- I am a mild fan of their work (Journey to the Far Side of the Sun is still burned in my childhood memory as very creepy ['Doppelgänger' , ya?!], Captain Scarlet too).  They didn't want American actors in the lead for Space:1999 and I can't blame them (I guess it was originally meant as a UFO extension)

The Anderson's live action series where more wooden than their Supermarionation programs ever were - Sylvia Anderson's costume designs didn't help - they weren't even considered good in the 70s and that takes some doing. LOL
 
Schell married Bill Mays, who directed the second series of Rock Follies, DVDs of which (by way of a coincidence/contrived segue) arrived on my doorstep from the Amazon just last week Approve
 
What?

I was channel surfing late last night and I was thinking how entertaining it would be to run across Albert Brooks "Lost In America". Many of the scenes in that film have me rolling on the floor. Especially all the ones where he plays a character with his butt in a sling. He is a talented writer. I checked out "The Scout" instead. It was hokey but Albert Brooks has some great lines and some of the history on baseball written within the script is rather funny. In any of his fims during a scene where he walks into a room and begins to open his mouth, I start laughing.

Getting high, following Metal lyrics and being a role model, running across a modern book on demonology and trying to gain power, sacrificing your friends? The show covered ritual killings in Norway and Italy. I gather from viewing this show that the mentalilty of these people is that of the "Satanic Panic" era. Older Satan cults would not engage in the same moronic behaviour. Disturbing but not moronic. Why don't they cover that aspect to the occult environment? They are too concerned about how thousands of kids can listen to Metal and not bring harm to others. What about the many kids who were sacrificed by Satan cults in the 60's and early 70's when there was no such term as "Heavy Metal"? Why don't they review some history and make the show more educational? T.V. sucks!
That must have been the biggest pile of dung ever committed to video tape. What a load of old rubbish, absolute tosh.Dead
