Oh, no, not at all! Just wasn't sure if Nos was aware of it being an episode; his post didn't make that clean either way.

I haven't seen any of the episodes from the 1980s Twilight Zone, so didn't know about that being the premise of an episode!

Yeah, it's a short story called Button Button by Richard Matheson which was adapted and slightly changed for the 80's Twilight Zone series, then ever further inflated and changed more for the Richard Kelly film (which I thought has its fair share of problems but which was ultimately quite enjoyable)

Of course not!

Of course not!

I knew about the Richard Matheson short story, but not about The Twilight Zone. As Matheson wrote so many stories and screenplays for the 'original' Twilight Zone, that would explain why the film felt so much like an episode of the TV show.

Yeah, definitely. The Twilight Zone bit is done with quite early on in the film before it spins off into it's own odd little odd existentialness, where it becomes a bit of a mess

I have just watched the 2-disc special edition of the Led Zeppelin concert film 'The Song Remains the Same'

The first disc, which consists of:

"Bron-Yr-Aur"
"Rock and Roll"
"Black Dog"
"Since I've Been Loving You"
"No Quarter"
"The Song Remains the Same"
"The Rain Song"
"Dazed and Confused"
"Stairway to Heaven"
"Moby Dick"
"Heartbreaker"
"Whole Lotta Love"

has it's ups - 'Rock 'N' Roll', 'Black Dog', 'Stairway to Heaven' - and it's downs - Pagey's guitar workout during 'Dazed and Confused' and Bonzo's solo in 'Moby Dick'

However, I wish the concert had been re-edited, so that the bonus songs from the show (which are included as special features on the second disc) - "Over the Hills and Far Away", "Celebration Day", "Misty Mountain Hop" and "The Ocean" - had been put back into their original places in the show

[Make Them Die Slowly]

THE FIRM. Nick Love's take on the original film shifts the story away from the Bex character(originally played by Gary Oldman) and centres the story on Dom, an up and coming football casual on the edges of the football hooligan scene.

I'm really warming to Love, he seems to be documenting an alternative history of England in his work. For me, he's the blood and spunk heir to Clarke, Leigh and Loach though with wildly different politics and subject matter.

The concert footage is pretty damn good, the surreal complete bollocks parts are, well, complete bollocks. I prefer the Led Zeppelin 2 DVD set with the Royal Albert Hall gig on the first disc(Jimmy Page's 26th birthday fact fans)
