Just ordered The Neverending Story II soundtrack, German import.
It was only £2.00 plus £2.15 for delivery. Not bad at all considering it's rare these days. I actually like the score even though it's not as good Klaus Doldinger's score for the original. However, the songs produced by Giorgio Moroder are the main reason I purchased this album. There's a nice version of the original theme tune on there as well as the main song, this little beauty, by Joe Milner:
The film isn't bad at all. Not the best, but better than a few other sequels from 1990. Not naming any names of course..... cough RoboCop 2 cough.

Revisitations 3. Tomb, Three Doctors and Robots of Death. Not a bad selection of stories really. Robots is probably my favourite Hinchcliffe era story so I can't wait to own it. Three Doctors I haven't watched in a while so I'm looking forward to sitting down to watch that one too. Obviously I've seen Tomb recently, but I'm happy to add it to my collection.

 Devlin Waugh 'Swimming In Blood' graphic novel collection. Fantastic stuff - For those who don't know, Waugh is a kind of occult trouble-shooter/Exorcist, employed by the Vatican in the post-apocalyptic world of Judge Dredd. Appearance-wise, he looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger crossed with Terry-Thomas, with the wit and manners of Noel Coward. Oh and he's a vampire, too. The tales included here are funny, cheeky, violent and shocking (lots of body horror) but never boring. Recommended. |

Day of the Daleks on DVD. It's a classic, innit?

Here's my collection at the moment. I thought it needed some more Pertwee. I have Greatest Show and Survival somewhere else. I think I also have Nimon in my bedroom.  |

Day of the Daleks on DVD. It's a classic, innit? Yep, and sorely under-appreciated. It's also the best of the Pertwee Dalek outings, with easily the most interesting and least derivative central narrative. |

The tales included here are funny, cheeky, violent and shocking (lots of body horror) but never boring. Recommended. I kind of prefer "Chasing Herod", the utterly batshit storyline and incomprehensible fortean-babble is quite jaw-droppingly incredible and has the artist Steve Yeowell probably at his absolute peak performance. Pussyfoot5 are also like some 60's DC comic superhero team on acid. It's probably my favourite Devlin Waugh story. "Swimming in Blood" has great artwork, but all he seems to do is just mince around a lot whilst shits kicking off and get turned into a vampire. In "Chasing Herod" he has one big monumental girlie self-pitying strop for the first third of the story before his mother has to be called in to bring him out of it. He also gets the absolute crap beaten out of him too!(which is kind of satisfying!) He reminds me quite a bit of the Captain Cook character in Doctor Who story "Greatest Show in the Galaxy" in that he loves waffling on about his endless previous heroic exploits, arcane knowledge and experience in various fields, but rarely actually seems to do anything whilst shit is kicking off, which betrays the idea that he is in fact a bit of a charlatan. |

Kingdom by Dan Abnett and Richard Elson. Dog soldiers and giant bugs battle it out in a post Apocalyptic world - what more could you want? Yeah, this is good shit. The Dog-Soldiers names are often quite amusing. Gene Hackman indeed!  I read the novel Fiefdom too, which has Evelyn War as the main Dog-Soldier character.  |

I agree, 'Chasing Herod/Sirius Rising' is fantastic- it's easily my favourite Waugh story and an all-time, stand-out 2000AD series. I didn't really like DW until the Chasing Herod storyline came along ( and the strip switched from the Judge Dredd Megazine to 2000AD). Steve Yeowell's gorgeous artwork is easier to follow than the muddy, sometimes confused painted graphics of Swimming In Blood ( in the early 90's there was an awful lot of this type of thing in comics). |

Steve Yeowell's gorgeous artwork is easier to follow than the muddy, sometimes confused painted graphics of Swimming In Blood ( in the early 90's there was an awful lot of this type of thing in comics). Yup, agree completely. I wasn't overly bought on Devlin Waugh until the "Chasing Herod/Sirius Rising" storyline.("All Hell" is great DW stuff too) "Swimming In Blood" is nowhere near the worst culprit for muddy confused painted art either, particularly given some of the content in the Prog during the 90's which was almost unreadable and unfathomable.(i.e. some Slaine stuff) Everyone trying to be a Bisley(and usually failing miserably)with painted muddy art was one of the major turn offs for me in 2000AD and I stopped getting the prog around 1992 and fell out of love with the franchise for around 23 years before I rediscovered it again with the modern prog and Judge Dredd Mega-Collection and 2000AD Ultimate Collection ranges. The writer of Devlin Waugh, John Smith, can be a bit of curate's egg, some examples of his stuff I really like and some others of it can seem a little self-indulgent and flabby. I love Indigo Prime "Killing Time" for example but find "Firekind" particularly the ending completely none-engaging(even if it did possibly influence Avatar) Some people seem to really rave about the story however. I find him a bit like Alan Moore - hugely rated, and although some of their stuff is unquestionably good, a tad over-rated by my own personal perceptions because of the inconsistency in some of their work. I do find writers such as Dan Abnett far more engaging, consistent and easier to get into. |
