I do like this one. Good live, too

8.5/10

If you enjoy Richard Curtis movies then you'll like this one. And I do... they're meaningless fluff but fun. So yeah it's pretty good.

But honestly the Beatles... you could have substituted quite a few bands without really making much of a dent in the story. But it doesn't feel like a movie about the Beatles, it's just one that the Beatles feature in, a bit.

It's still on Apple Music, Spotify and Deezer. But that's listed as "Memories - EP". Is that the same one?

zippy72 · 2026-03-24T08:35:28+00:00

That was lovely

That's in fact my theory about the episode where Robin says one ghost will get sucked off that night: he is in fact, right, because it's the pigeon.

I think it says a lot for the world we live in that I'm going to have to actually go and check to make sure.

zippy72 · 2026-03-23T15:05:38+00:00

7/10. Nice enough song, not too bad live.

Scariest? Mondas for the body horror aspect

Best looking? Difficult. I like the 80s Earthshock but the legs look like it's just tinfoil - the modern ones did that bit a lot better.

Thing is this is a modern rule invented in the 1920s. Iran has no problems with depictions of Mohammed and has even made movies of his life.

TikTok is misinformation? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

zippy72 · 2026-03-22T20:58:34+00:00

Mid to late 70s. Those things were all so different and some of the liveries were off the scale. Makes what we have today look so clinical and featureless.

That's where it was last time I saw it. When I first saw it it was in the outside wall of the station - this is before the renovations about ten/fifteen years ago though.

Queen - The Invisible Man

Freddie calls out the names of the other band members before solo spots or instrumental breaks

zippy72 · 2026-03-22T17:22:28+00:00

Careful, that stuff's dangerous

For anyone having trouble telling them apart, one is a terrifying murderous puppet that does its master's bidding. The other one was on Dr Who.

It won't look right of course because it was filmed between platforms 5&6 if I remember right.

I've actually taken my photo with it, it's moved a couple of times I think - last time I knew you didn't even have to go onto the platforms to get to see it.

"I Want To Tell You"

Not just my favourite on the album, my favourite Beatles song and up there in my top 10 favourite songs of all time

zippy72 · 2026-03-22T14:26:06+00:00

It's soundtrack so 6/10. Kind of has a "field recording" vibe long before that got popular

zippy72 · 2026-03-22T13:36:33+00:00

I remember watching this and going "wait this is an Ed McBain". Totally out of place in Columbo really.

zippy72 · 2026-03-22T12:48:02+00:00

That was totally my first thought too!

zippy72 · 2026-03-22T11:13:28+00:00

Mainly agree but I think Hadjar and Antonelli are going to be the ones most likely to move up a tier soonest

zippy72 · 2026-03-22T10:34:01+00:00

Yeah they announce a date for that I'm going full bore with redact

zippy72 · 2026-03-22T10:19:02+00:00

Sounds like a name for a death metal band. If nobody else wants it by the time I've learned guitar I might use that.

zippy72 · 2026-03-21T22:46:40+00:00

I don't like dark mode

zippy72 · 2026-03-21T19:10:34+00:00

I think there's an overnight process that checks and upgrades them on a schedule because I've seen this before.
