Not a problem. The UK has a reciprocity agreement with North Korea. Just go along to the MI5 building in London and explain your case and they will pay you on behalf of North Korea. It is all so quick and easy. Don't forget to bring timesheets. They absolutely insist on those.

The Best Musical Act of All-Time: Lifetime Achievement
Fullerene replied to BFTD's topic in The Music Forum
Please be careful. Anyone using record sales as a major factor is in dangerous territory. The Black Eyed Peas sold more than 80 million records and @BFTD has already warned about them. -

Well he is originally from Karachi in Pakistan if that is what you mean (but I suspect it isn't). -

Each to their own. I am not that keen on the X-Files. -

Correction. Somebody else could make a similar case for the Eagles. I wouldn't. -

I got a feeling you could be right about that one. -

Belt, Braces, Chains and Lead weights on its way to you. Martin Scorcese has offered you the role as stunt double for the guy who gets thrown in the Clyde for being undiplomatic. -

"I want to hold your hand", "Help", "Girl", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "All you need is love" and "Across the Universe" are all written and sung by the same person. "Can't buy me love", "Yesterday", "Eleanor Rigby", "Penny Lane" and "Let it be" are also written and sung by another person in the same group. "I need you", "If I needed someone", "While my guitar gently weeps", "Something" and "Here comes the sun" are all written and sung by yet another person in that group. If you like, "Yellow Submarine", "A little help from my friends" and "Octopus' Garden" are all sung by the fourth person in that band. If you go to see a Beatles Tribute Act, you will likely see what seems to be four shows that are actually just one show representing the music of one band. Furthermore they all take turns singing instead of just one person having to do most if not all of the singing. That is why the Beatles would get my vote. -
Odd. DUP. Are you sure you got that right?

There were four performers in Forbidden Planet who would later appear in Columbo as well. Three of them would play the victim. -

Once he appeared in spoof films such as Airplane, it became difficult to take him seriously in his early roles such as Captain in the Poseidon Adventure. -

The Sinatra/Willis connection continues. The Studio was contractually obliged to offer the lead role in Die Hard to 70 year old Sinatra. Thankfully he turned it down. https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a34997895/die-hard-facts-frank-sinatra-john-mcclane/ Obviously this should be "I didn't realise they were NOT in it" thread. So I will also mention a Russian Ballerina who had had enough of humiliating roles where people smeared ice cream on his face. Push a man too far, I would say. -

To be honest it is easier to believe than talking snakes and all that stuff. -

"Hmm. Can't be that difficult to change a 'q' into a 'n'. Where is that dossier? Let's spruce it up." -
"My Way" by Frank Sinatra.

Another bad experience was Alien vs Predator 2. Zero character development so you didn't care if anyone got killed and worst of all was really poor lighting so you were always struggling to make sense of what was going on.

Yes. Carefully positioned so the driver couldn't watch while he was driving. That was an initial mistake, I would say.

How much did you tip the attendant for helping you out? -
No actual cinema experience will ever compare with taking the bus between Glasgow and Inverness in the days of Video Recorders. As soon as the bus was about to leave the station, the driver would start the video. Occasionally it might be a film I would be happy to watch but often it was the same video again and again and again and again. I got to recognise "The Adventures of Grizzly Adams" within the first five seconds. It was absolute torture.
