TIME BANDITS (1981), dir. Terry Gilliam

I just love the idea of taking guys that are small and treating them like heroes, treating them like Alan Ladd, almost as tall as Alan Ladd, I think he was about three inches taller than those guys. That’s what the joy of doing it was and giving these guys a chance to get out of their fucking Womble costumes and R2-D2 tin cans and be people. And they all rose to the occasion, they were all brilliant. —Terry Gilliam

Splinter and George Harrison, on the cover of Melody Maker, August 31, 1974.

George Harrison: “[Splinter] were in a band years ago called Halfbreed that Mal Evans, who’s been with The Beatles for years, brought into, he brought the tape and tried to get them on Apple. I remember listening and saying, It’s not bad, but I don’t think it’s that good. And he was saying, Just listen to the singer, really. So we didn’t do anything with them. But Mal got — when John made a record, Lennon — made a record of Oz, to help in Oz’s defense, he made a song called God Save Oz, and the Oz people couldn’t sing so good, so he got Bill Elliott to sing. And they split up from that band. And then a year or so, about a year ago, I got involved in making a film called Little Malcolm And His Struggle Against The Eunuchs. And in this film there was a part where we needed somebody in a nightclub scene, just in the background singing a tune. And so Mal Evans brought along those two guys and they did this song, a song for the film which really fitted well. And I thought, because the film is not the sort of film that’s easy to sort of sell, you know. And this song was such a hit I thought, they could make a hit, and then maybe the film people would be more interested in the movie. So I went to do a single with them but then I heard the rest of the songs and they were so good, I got involved making the album. And the song from Little Malcolm still isn’t out yet because we did too many songs.” Q: “Is the film actually going to be released now?” GH: “Yeah. The film is just fantastic, it’s really… it doesn’t have distribution at the moment but we put it in the Berlin Film Festival and it won a silver award. John Hurt, the actor who plays the part of Little Malcom, won the award. And I just found out yesterday that we won the gold award at the Atlanta Film Festival. So I mean from that point of view it’s really very good.” - Capital Radio, 1974 “[George is] a perfectionist. If he’s not happy with it, he’ll get in and do it again. […] He’s very patient. That’s one of the things that impressed me most. He goes out of his way to understand your moods, to understand you as a person. He gets right underneath you and pulls the best out of you. If he gets out the wrong side of the bed, he won’t come in. If he can’t get it together he won’t try at all.” -Bob Purvis, Melody Maker, August 31, 1974 “We didn’t deserve to have someone as nice and kind as George helping us. We were just a couple of naive kids from Newcastle who didn’t realize how lucky we were. I just wish I could have let him know that I was grateful, and sorry for not seeing what he was trying to do for us. He was an absolutely sincere man.” - Bob Purvis, While My Guitar Gently Weeps: The Music of George Harrison (2006)

The 3rd version and first EON Production version of Casino Royale was released on November 17, 2006. Daniel Craig took over the role of Bond becoming 6th EON James Bond. The film was the start of a pocket universe of Bond separate from the Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan films before it. Judi Dench was the only one who crossed over both Bond universes playing M in both. The Craig Bond universe restarted the tradition of using Fleming book titles (they had been using unique titles since The Living Daylights) at least for the first two movies, took on a more serious and realistic tone, the movies were more connected and less stand alone, and had the same actor play Felix Leiter (in the previous franchise films Felix was played by a different actor each time, with only one actor playing it twice). Casino Royale was the first Bond book Ian Fleming wrote. The movie serves as a Bond origin story. The movie stayed close to the main plot points of the book including the torture scene and the down ending. The movie set a world record for most barrel rolls assisted by a cannon. The film became the highest grossing Bond film (until Skyfall) and is often considered by many fans as the best Bond film in the franchise. "Casino Royale", Bond Movie Event)

The Merybury Chronicles: Volume VII

Festive COVID has struck, so just a small update today, I'm afraid, with some snippets of news from around the town.

A new retirement community has opened its doors - Purvis Lodge.

Herbert and Faith Goodie are the first residents to move in, and take advantage of the leisure facilities.

It's also time to say goodbye to another pet - Pip.

Sally smustles away the sadness of the loss. She's due to head off to uni any day now, along with several of her fellow teens.

The rumour around town is that George Wickham is playing away from home.

Certainly, a few months later, Marla Biggs registers the birth of a daughter, whom she names Georgina.

Does the little girl bear any resemblance to her purported father? Perhaps. I'm sure we'll be seeing her around town, so there'll be plenty of opportunity to decide. Georgina's stats:

~ Cancer 8 / 7 / 5 / 9 / 6

~ Charismatic / Perfectionist / Hates the Outdoors

~ OTH: Arts & Crafts

~ Favourite Colour(s): Black / White
