Movie News
More BILL & TED 3 Talk - This Time From Alex Winter!!
Merrick here...
Over the weekend, the New Beverly in L.A. held a screening of the BILL & TED movies. Alex Winter was in attendance and fielded a few questions from the crowd. Inevitably, the subject turned to that third B&T adventure we've been hearing about.
Here's a report from an AICN reader called Filmmaven...
Hi all,
The New Beverly in LA had a most excellent double feature last night, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.
Last night, Alex Winter was in attendance to intro both films and had a Q&A in between them.
The double feature was a sell out.
He had some interesting and amusing stories to tell.
How he and Keanu were sober for maybe a few days of the shoot during Excellent Adventure.
How he nearly killed Tony Cox, one of the Stations, in Bogus Journey.
How his popularity sky rocketed overnight.
The experience of bringing his son to Raging Waters in San Dimas, without even thinking about the reaction it would get.
How they shot in Rome because Dino DeLaurentiis owns Rome.
A little kid asked if there would be a third adventure.
He was amused that it was a child that asked that question.
He said that the three of them, Keanu, Ed Solomon and himself, have been kicking ideas around. First and foremost, they don't wanna make a crap movie, as he put it. They've even had ideas that even children wouldn't be able to see the movie. If they come up with a story that they feel worthwhile, it will happen.
Personally, I hope it isn't a Crystal Skull.
As for me, having not seen either film in a long time, I found myself liking Bogus Journey even more. I wasn't a fan of it when I first saw it way back when but I actually like it now.
Ed Solomon will be on hand for a Q&A at tonight's screening at 7:30pm.
FYI...the New Beverly is screening "The Transformers-The Movie" (1986) at midnight this Saturday.
Be excellent to each other!
I'm an enormous fan of BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, but...like Filmmaven...I was initially unmoved by BOGUS JOURNEY, its sequel. And, like Filmmaven, a few months back I caught an HD broadcast of the picture and enjoyed far more than I had before. A lot of great stuff there...
My understanding is that a potential third film would find Bill & Ted in realtime...i.e. as adults. While, personally, I can understand the desire not to have these characters diluted or de-mystified by seeing them as "grown-ups", I can also imagine there could be quite a bit of fun watching decidedly...different and challenged...Bill & Ted trying to deal with precepts of adult responsibility while also confronted by some fucked-up, OTT scenario.
I'm not a big one for unnecessary sequels, and I'm not altogether convinced this one is particularly "necessary." But, honestly, this is one movie I hope gets made.

The Bill & Ted movies belong to the 3 or 4 things...
by RedEgiraahgnal
...that are seriously improved by the German dubbing! Yes, they are perfectly fine in its original language, but the German dubbing makes them even better! (Other things include the Ice Age movies, the old Bud Spencer & Terence Hill movies and that old TV show The Persuaders)

I can't imagine anyone campaigning for a 3rd Bill and Ted. They just aren't relevant anymore (if they ever were).

Glad to see that Ed Solomon is involved in this, but what of B&T co-writer Matheson? Is he sitting this one out?

A Third Film Will Disappoint Fans...
by Acquanetta
...but they will eventually change their opinion of it 10 or 20 years down the road. (See also: Temple of Doom; Back To The Future 2; Batman Returns; Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey; etc. etc.)
Aug. 30, 2010, 11:57 a.m. CST
I actually don't get this?
by matthooper8
At the end of Bogus Journey, we are taken through a series of headlines. The headlines and magazines show us Bill and Ted's rise to glory and how they basically make mankind better. Anything in a part 3 would nullify parts 1 &2.

Loved the first, kinda meh about the second, absolutely no desire for a third. The B&T films are guilty pleasures, and like all guilty pleasures you have to know when to stop.

is a fairly well-known phrase. And no, I don't want a B&T sequel. Bogus Journey wrapped things up incredibly well. How would a third film work if they've become the all-conquering, world renowned Wyld Stallyns?

by UltraTron
That beat is still tremendous and should become a major feature of the new soundtrack. Yes they are timeless and relevant. Yes they are old and now have prescriptions for medical pot. The movie would have to entail them totally fucking up the paradise they created in the 1st 2 movies to create our shitty reality. It needs to be as epic as cheech and chong's 1st movie meets a matrix film meets the wall.

Tony Cox Station? Not according to IMDB
by cookepuss
For one thing, it's not on Cox's credits. For another,IMDB credits Ed Gale & Arturo Gil as the small Station characters and Tom Allard as Big Station. If B&T accidentally almost killed Tony Cox then it must've been on their off hours. lol

especially if you're a news reporter. OTT maybe pretty common to most readers, but alot of us have never heard it. I should be able to read an article without it turning into a guessing game on the abbreviations.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Alex Winter talking about Bill and Ted 3 is like Tom Arnold talking about True Lies 2.

Aug. 30, 2010, 12:36 p.m. CST
Here's how I want to see it.
by NinjaRap
You set it after the stories shown at the end of "Bogus Journey." Bill & Ted have changed the world but now everybody hates everything they fucking do and claims that none of it is as good as what they made in the past. They are resented, and people joke about how their childhoods are being raped by their new albums. People crack wise about assassinating them to protect their product catalog. Make it an entire commentary on how fandom expects THE FUCKING MOON from any returning franchise that's been gone for a while. How they won't let any new film from an established franchise have more than three moments with problems in them before they conclude the whole two-hour product is "total shit."

I'm inside one of those rare Andy Kaufman-esque moments where I don't know if people are joking or not.

Every actor has one PERFECT role. Keanu = Ted
by Tall_Boy66
No. really. Even if you think he's dogshit in everything else, Reeves is gold as Ted. "Remember when I asked your mom to the prom?" "SHUT UP, TED!!" I also say Bogus Journey is underrated. "See, before, we were puss-holes. Now we're totally metal. NOW GET OVER HERE AND PUT OUT!"
Aug. 30, 2010, 12:58 p.m. CST

That might be a little *ahem* smart for a Bill & Ted movie. However, that would be make a fantastic story for a Simpsons Movie sequel.

Aug. 30, 2010, 1:20 p.m. CST
by BEYONDTHUNDERDOME2GIRLS1CUPBILLCOSBY
they could do back the future part 2 type scenes where B&T are sneaking around in the background while Rufus in Bogus Journey is giving the lecture at the university as well as he and the 2 at the Circle K in Excellent Adventure, adding in a ponytailed stuntdouble for back shots, that way Rufus will never be missed.
Aug. 30, 2010, 1:22 p.m. CST
Well, the originals weren't "necessary", either
by kevred
They were just good, dumb fun. Why not have some more good, dumb fun, and give the same age group that enjoyed the films when they came out something fun that addresses where they are now in life?
Aug. 30, 2010, 1:26 p.m. CST
by juiceboy66
This could be doable as long as they paid proper homage to George Carlin. Maybe Bill and Ted travel into the future to attend Rufus' funeral or something. I've seen movies with thinner premises than that.

Finally.. Bill &Ted 3 news!!
by Axl Z
I recently brought both the soundtracks for the films after catching them in HD. Most excellent soundtracks and God Gave Rock N' Roll To You still gets those hairs on the back of my neck up. Bill & Ted 3 must rank alongside Ghostbusters 3 as most wanted 3rd film ever.. This needs to be made, do it guys!!

Most Triumphant! My Favorite Movies Ever!
by Crow3711
And yet, I have nothing against them making a new one. At best, it would be fucking excellent. At worst, it would be a complete disaster, but it's so far removed, and would probably be so different, from the originals, it would have zero effect on enjoyment. Even if it was trash, there is zero possibility of me not getting my 9 dollars worth out of seeing the two of them back on screen together, whether it be triumphant, kinda bogus, heinous, or most non-triumphant.
Aug. 30, 2010, 1:49 p.m. CST
by Axl Z
As much as George Carlin is a part of Bill & Ted history he was barely in Bogus Journey. A third film can be done without him, just don't recast please.. do the decent thing like Indy 4 did with Denholm Elliott.. Have a tribute to him on screen somehow sure, but life goes on within you and without you. (Just don't pull a Bill Murray and have his ghost in the film!) On another note, what the heck could they use for timetravel, has anyone used a phonebooth in the past 15 years?!? maybe taht's how you write Rufus out? each timetraveler has their own device for getting back? I don't know..

by TheJudger
the bad guy of the future want to turn everything into CGI and he plans to kill rock music with resampz. Cause that's like what happening now in the real world anyways. As far as movies and music goes. Rufus is the first victim, and the future bad dude swipes a phone booth to go back into the past to cgi and resamp everything before bill and ted change the world. CGI evil us'es Ted. Whoaaaaaaaa

What a BS article!
by HorrorFan81
So, just kicking around some ideas is considered news?<p> Hey, my friends and I talked about a remake of OUTBREAK, but from the point of view of the monkey. And it's voiced by Robin Williams.<p> I expect an article about the OUTBREAK REMAKE within the hour.

no, no, never, no and never
by Lemure_v2
Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Back to the Future and Bill & Ted belong to the 80's. Trying to update any of them (for the sole purpose of cashing in, having run out of ideas) will bring nothing but disaster. Exhibit A: Indian Jones gets buttfucked by CGI-alien obsessed George Lucas and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls.

Love the original
by catlettuce4
The sequel, well... I liked it when it came out, but saw it more recently and the tone is totally off. It really does not feel like the same kind of movie, even if it does have some entertaining parts. I could watch the first one over and over and I still love it though. I don't have high hopes that a sequel will be made or could be worth making, but perhaps they will surprise me.

by the dolphins are in the jacuzzi
I scrolled back up and saw vin_diggler guessed it awhile back, but he wasn't sure if it was correct. I'm kind of shocked that so few people know that phrase. It's pretty common, actually. I mean, I know it, and I'm 41 with no kids.
Aug. 30, 2010, 4:27 p.m. CST
Anyone here see Blues Brothers 2000?

Ever since that movie, I've been nervous about any '80's comedy getting a sequel 20 years later. That goes for Ghostbusters, too. Just leave them alone.

B&T3 doesn't need time travel
by Billy Goat
There are three major realms which science fiction and fantasy often explore: space travel, time travel, and the supernatural. They've done time travel and the supernatural. So the third movie should be about space travel. Didn't the spinning headlines at the end of the second movie say that they were going to do a concert on the moon? The third movie could be about a concert tour on other planets, with all kinds of aliens and stuff.

Re: BILL & TED 3?!?
by ArmageddonProductions
I dug the first film and it stands up as well as any goofball movie from the Eighties can (they got away with a lot more bizarre concepts for movies in the Eighties), and thought the second one was a confusing mess with a couple of funny jokes in it (Bill Sadler as "Death", the "Star Trek" reference). Say, while we're trying to sequelize everything in sight, I bet you could get the sequel rights to MY SCIENCE PROJECT, DATE WITH AN ANGEL, THE WRAITH, TUFF TURF, ZAPPED! and EXPLORERS for a song. I'm still reeling over that FRIGHT NIGHT remake.

anyways if there's no sequel in the future and this is all bogus

you still got Freaked! with both of them starring together, plus the 8 episode tv show and the cartoon with all 3 of their voices, the comci books and the halloween spectacular on youtube. so it ain't really a big deal. part 2 was an excellent sequel, like gremlins 2, so if they do make a 3rd one they could do anything they want cause they already did the almost impossible with Bogus Journey.

When I laughed when watching this with my kids recently, I quickly explained the relevance of "69" as the year woodstock happened which is important in rock n roll history and the kids bought it with no further questions! LOL!

People are convening in office buildings, warehouses, courthouses and convention centers across Minnesota to scrutinize hundreds of thousands of ballots in the U.S. Senate race recount. Secretary of State Mark Ritchie has laid out elaborate do's and don'ts for those conducting the recount. One of those guidelines is that the recount can't be a secret meeting in a smoke-filled, or even a Minnesota-style smoke-free, room: "Recount locations are open to the public and the media and there will be a public viewing area in each recount location."
With all the scrutiny of the process, there will likely be confrontations and technical troubles and other surprises to interrupt the tedium. That's where you and Whistleblower come in. If you see or hear about something that went wrong at a recount site, please send an email or call me at (612) 673-4271. I'll be blogging about it all day right here.
I'm not expecting the same generous flood of suggestions that followed my solicitations for reports of troubles at the polls on Election Day. Nevertheless, I will try to follow up on whatever troubles I do hear about.According to the list of recount locations (you'll need Microsoft Excel to read it), the recounts or recount preparations will begin Wednesday at 50 sites, including 13 of Hennepin's 19 recount sites, Ramsey County, Anoka, Carver, Dakota and Washington counties in the metro.
The audience at each recount will be observing an elaborately staged performance with a rigid script. The cast includes Deputy Recount Officials, Table Officials, Lead Representatives and their mobile emissaries, Roving Representatives. The action will be the sorting of papers into piles, verbal challenges, bent necks and squinting, announcing of totals, affixing of stickers and finally, the sealing of envelopes. The show will go on until it's done.
And a few other ground rules:
Hands off! "Candidate representatives are not allowed to touch or otherwise handle a ballot."
Eat a good breakfast. "No lunch break shall be taken during the middle of the sorting and counting process for a single precinct."
I have to laugh. Do the candidates realize that even if they win–more than half the state did not want them in office!
Which is why I keep saying, "The recount is a waste of money." This election is important enough to spend the extra money on a runoff.
As the Coleman and Franken voters could not come to a decision as to who should be the next senator, Barkley should be declared the winner.

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - APRIL 01: Oh Beom-Seok (R) of South Korea and Jong Tae-Se (C) of North Korea compete for the ball during the 2010 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifier match between South Korea and North Korea at Seoul World Cup Stadium on April 1, 2009 in Seoul, South Korea.

If you thought we couldn't turn a soccer tournament into a fashion-focused event, then you don't know the power of the Threaders. World Cup takes over the planet this summer and in anticipation, New York will welcome PlayBeautiful pop-up experience on Mulberry Street June 6, while FIFA commissions artists for soccer-themed prints.
PlayBeautiful promises to live up to its fantastical name with live-screenings of every World Cup match, live demonstrations by industry bigwigs, video game competitions - hold on, we're getting to the good stuff - film screenings and of course, what the PlayBeautiful's Facebook page describes as an "unparalleled retail experience." The website is still under construction, but in the meantime links to the team merch available at Upper90 sports store on the Upper West Side.
Adding to the tourney's catchy aesthetic element (did everyone see the rather nice-looking Vanity Fair cover with Cristiano Ronaldo and Didier Drogba in their patriotic skivvies?), FIFA (the International Football Federation) commissioned 17 artists to create mixed-media pieces under a soccer theme. Creations include drawings, embroidery and a sculpture of an elephant cradling a ball in his trunk. The originals were auctioned off at Philips de Pury here in NYC and numbered limited-edition prints of the works may be purchased here.
PlayBeautiful opens June 6 at 201 Mulberry Street.

This is funny?
Is it ever?
Green shoots, Blue dies.
Not a very flattering characture of little Johnny Major-Ball
Evadne Currie's response should have been "Shooting out of the blue, surely?"
I not only recognized the characters but I actually laughed. Rich & Mark have obviously lost their winning touch.
No, just no!
Does Edwina have a grand daughter? Boaz.
the green shoots of gullibility
Us too!
Is it Ed . . . or . . .Ed . . . or Gordo . . . or . . . ?
YES! . . it's me!!
I've seen worse…quite often in fact.
You know I always thought John Major was a genuine and decent man , a grey man, but decent; so I could never understand why he took up with THAT woman.
Take too long to explain, – and then I doubt you'd even begin to understand.
I count you as a decent and genuine woman – that's why.
There are at least two issues here:
1.) Should he have knobbed?
2.) Should he have knobbed her, of all things?
There is only one answer to both:
Shit happens.
If his wife can't trust him…………………………………!
A man was sitting reading his papers when his wife hit him around the head with a frying pan.
'What was that for?' the man asked.
The wife replied 'That was for the piece of paper with the name Jenny on it that I found in your trouser pocket'.
The man then said 'When I was at the races last week Jenny was the name of the horse I bet on'
The wife apologized and went on with the housework.
Three days later the man is watching TV when his wife bashes him on the head with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him unconscious. Upon regaining consciousness the man asked why she had hit him again.
His wife replied: 'Your Horse phoned!!!'
That'd be a more believable story if the 'horse' was called Margaret [Beckett].
or dare we say moddy … hrh the one that s been divorced once and likes horses ??
Reminds me of a story from a few years ago about a couple in Swansea but with the roles slightly reversed. The wife was performing a "sex act" on the husband in the kitchen when she started fitting, clamping down on his member. The husband, reaching for the nearest thing to hand grabbed a frying pan and repeatedly bashed her over the head until she passed out releasing her vice like grip. Both ended up in casualty.
probably because like cecil s paramour she had … in th words of cecil s good lady wife …. a big behind
It would be even funnier if Edwina was reading 50 shades of grey ;-)
I say,is that chap a stalking horse ?
No that chap wasn't a stalking horse he only entered the race when earlier stalking horses had dethroned Maggie
He was the original Jim Hacker PM.
Didn't Hacker go to LSE?
I seem to recall that he absented himself claiming that he had to have a wisdom(no pun intended)tooth extracted thus enabling him to enter the race when the dirty deed was done and schmooze Maggie into backing him as her choice in the leadership race as the one to take forward her legacy(LOL)
didn't mp's who had voted against her say that they had voted for and they were going to switch in the second ballot convincing Maggie that she would loose ?
So Johnny & Eddie were good kids & ate their asparagus. Oh wait….
Didn't that Baroness Vadera make a complete tit of herself by mentioning that she could see the green shoots of recovery over 3 years ago.
We now have a Major Tit doing the same. Most reputable economists cannot see a recovery before the next 7-10 years given the current debt overhang.
"the green shoots of recovery" that was a phrase that was used during the late 80's and early 90's, it's a bit like Gordy's tractor stats, say it often enough and some people (that are not affected by the economy tanking) will start to believe them
If you print loadsamoney via QE you are bound to see some scraggy green shoots until the effect fades and the stalks eventually wither. This is precisely what happened under Gordo Brown before our last general election and why Obummer is doing exactly the same just before the Presidential election.
Only a complete turnip-head would be fooled by it.
Most 'reputable economists' sat through the Imbecility and failed to point out exactly where all this 'miracle growth' was coming from. Ie massive amounts of government and private debt.
Now that they've had it brought to their attention most 'reputable economists' still haven't ganged up and given the Maximum Imbecile both barrels for his reckless destruction of the UK economy.
They might be right about it taking another 7 to 10 years to get back to 'normal' though.
One out of three ain't too impressive though.
Major might be right about us being over the worst but that isn't allowing for the ongoing European clusterfuck or the thought that in three more years the deficit deniers might be back with their idiot hands on the wheel again.
But then most reputable economists believe that Keynesian economics and trashing the currency will see us through the debt overhang.
Too bad the theory has little connection with reality – that you cannot borrow your way out of debt.
Oh, it'll 'see us through' alright. Just like it saw the Weimar Republic and Zimbabwe through.
Poor old Keynes is much maligned by the thought that Bonkers Brown's economic policy had any relationship with his theories. If it had been true then we would have been squirreling away a massive surplus in the boom years instead of wasting everything and borrowing even more.
It's hilarious to listen to the bedwetters condescendingly explaining that Keynes was an advocate of deficit spending to overcome a recession as if you were somehow going against received economic theory when you point out that the Maximum Imbecile was running monstrous deficits even during the 'boom'.
For the bedwetters there is literally no economic situation that does not call for borrowing (and squandering) more money.
During a 'boom' the justification is that the economy is expanding so we can 'afford' to borrow more money. During a 'bust' then we 'must' borrow (and squander) more money to 'stimulate' the economy.
Children. Kids in charge of the national credit card. Imbeciles.
Unlike the present policy – which is to borrow anyway without stimulating the economy.
Not suprised he got a "Green shoot" off that old slapper
Is the cartoonist suggesting that Edwina used to shove asparagus up Major's arse? Does her biography come with a packet of instant-mix mindbleach?
Is the 'cartoonist' really suggesting that Edwina used to shove asparagus up Major's a-rse? Does each copy of her memoirs come with a packet of instant-mix mind-bleach?
Thai Green Currie?
Well I thought Edwina was a bit foxy
Me too comrade.
Nice to see the resident "funny men" have their finger on the pulse yet again , only 20 years too late
Why is she reading her own diaries? And why is his cock talking?
Leave me alone, blud! Me goin home to drown me sorrows in a bucket of chicken rice an' pea!
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.
At least we know who the characters are.
That doesn't look a bit like Mandleson and his Brazilian buddy.
Is it Harry Worth
Is Edwina hiding something from us ?
Form an orderly queue lads but not too fortissimo.
Nicely timed for the party conference, perhaps ?
Seems too quiet right now, rather like the lull before the storm.
Q: Isn't it shocking how these muslims are protesting so violently?
A: No! They're right to be angry! Once again the West is attacking Islam, a religion of p*ace!
Q: How can you say it's a religion of p*ace when they've murdered people over a film?
A: It's an Islamaphobic film! It attacks their prophet!
Q: It's called free speech. What gives them the right to kill anyone? They use free speech to say horrific things about J*ws, non-muslims, women and homosexuals.
A: We have no right to insult Islam! I fully support their protests!
Q: Are you aware the Koran says to kill all homosexuals and non-muslims, to beat your wife for disobeying you, that a woman's word on a matter is worth half that of a man's, to marry off girls as soon as they begin menstruating, and to stone adulterers and r*pe victims to death?
A: Don't be so Islamaphobic!
Q: I'm just telling you what this religion stands for. Don't you support women's rights and gay rights?
A: Of course I do! How dare you even ask!
Q: So why do you defend a religion that preaches such misogyny and homophobia?
A: Why do you defend the West?!
Q: Don't change the subject. Why do you never condemn honour killings, female circumcisions, forced marriages, child marriages, suicide bombings, r*pe being used as a punishment for failing to wear a headscarf, and r*pe victims, adulterers and homosexuals being executed?
A: It's… it's… uh… um… it's the corporations! The corporations and… uh… the corporations and… I*rael!
Q: Excuse me? I'm asking why you don't condemn honour killings, r*pe, child marriages…
A: It's the corporations! And I*rael! And corporations!
Q: What are you talking about? What have corporations and I*rael got to do with muslims forcing 9 year olds to marry 60 year old men in P*kistan and muslim girls being circumcised?
A: You're Islamaphobic! You support corporations and I*rael!
Q: What do you say to the family of the US ambassador to Libya who was murdered over a film he had nothing to do with?
A: Corporations! Corporations!
Seriously, go back to the day job.
The only woman I have any time for in the Tory Party is that Justine Greening sort .
Having had her nose rubbed in it by the Great Leader she has wasted no time sorting out the freeloaders within the international aid budget .
Ms Mensch mark two she ain't . A future leader she ain't .
But if you have some dirty briefs to sort out she is the woman for you.
Ten times better than any Tory man.
what does this refer to
"Having had her nose rubbed in it by the Great Leader" ?
I saw Currie standing on a London underground platform once, touting for hire.
So – you're slagging off Major because you're a recovery denier?

Gyles Brandreth writes in his memoirs:
"Sunday, May 10, 1998
Early start: appearing on Breakfast With Frost, to be broadcast from 11 Downing Street. The Chancellor [Gordon Brown] is grouchily amiable, but so earnest — and still biting his fingernails to the quick.
After the show, he took us upstairs to his flat. He lives above No 10, while Blair and family are in the No 11 duplex, which is bigger and more like a proper house.
I was intrigued that, when he took us into his bedroom, the Chancellor rather ostentatiously opened the built-in wardrobes, as if he wanted us to see the women's frocks that were hanging in there.
They looked quite large, but I don't think they belong to Gordon. I assume they belong to his girlfriend [Sarah Macaulay, who he later married].
I presume he was keen for us to know that he has one — and that she's not a 'beard'. I don't think he does anything without calculation."
Now the SNP know how UKIP voters feel all the time.

Electronic Paper Display begins mass production.
LG's Electronic Paper Display (EPD) is a bendable 6 inch screen, only 0.7mm thick. The 1024x768 pixel resolution display can be bent up to 40 degrees from its center.
"With the world's first plastic EPD, LG Display has once again proven its reputation for leadership and innovation with a product we believe will help greatly popularize the E-Book market," said Sang Duck Yeo, Head of Operations for LG Display's Mobile/OLED division.
There is no word on a US release, but LG says the EPD will first be supplied to ODM companies in China, with completed products hitting European shores at the beginning of April.

We had one in which needed a few things doing, mainly the sump was leaking and the tandem pump was too.
To sort these out, due to the setup, the engine needs to be removed.
It's a fairly big job, it is pretty much crammed in, and it comes down complete with subframe, air suspension, driveshafts and brakes, gearbox and transfere box.
So while it was out, I thought id grab a few pictures, if anyone is interested
Compared to this, which is a 1.2 3 cylinder unit out of a Polo bluemotion - bit of a size difference lol

Sóc Mateu i aquesta és la meva vida.
Helloooooo, dream bed!
I want to revamp my room. But apparently investment in furniture is just as financially taxing as computers or gadgets. Mundane stuff and things are deceptively expensive, gahhh.
My old bed creaks like a little bitch. It practically moans when I get on as its little springs falter under my mass. The mattress is so old that those very springs dig into me as I sleep. It's not so comfortable.
Where I can find a low-lying or platform bed in King Single size? My room doesn't cope with more than my desk and chair, really.
No one is going to actually answer me — so I guess this post is addressed to the universe at large. Ummm please be sending me a new bed, universe? Thanks.

Ah Milan, the birthplace of style and now home to, amongst numerous other things, the third and penultimate week of fashion month.
If you find yourself Milan side this week then why not take full advantage of our fantastic city map. The ultimate guide to the best independent boutiques, restaurants and museums – you will wonder how you ever got by without it. And for those who couldn't make it over to Milan, not to worry, our style hunters are there for you, and they even took in a Moschino show. So sit back and enjoy their candid shots of this glorious, vibrant city.
Now while we all know and love industry giants such as Versace, Dolce&Gabbanna and Marni, we at Boticca don't think it's fair they get all the attention. With beauties ranging from statement necklaces to turbans, it's time to give the emerging designers a turn as we show you the best of Milan, Boticca style.
When it comes to beautifully crafted contemporary necklaces and collars, alienina wins hands down. Using materials such as nylon cord, alienina's jewelry is made by reusing ordinary objects and materials to inspire people to discover that items have extra life and new functions.
It was a desire for simplicity and functionality that led ilariamai to her current, and highly successful, design style. Creating the hard-leather part as the structure, she gives the wearer endless possibilities with the interchangeable inner materials. Meaning with some clever co-ordination; you can practically have a new bag every day.
Inspired by old values and a lost elegancy of a by gone era, COR SINE LABE DOLI create ceramic ties, bowties and now, necklaces. These highly unique Italian labels seeks to put fun into the more mundane daily routines such as tying a tie or bowtie and with their eclectic use of color are always sure to be noticed.
Inspired by the exciting and often dramatic tales of pirates and horseman and knights and kings, menswear label deMaglie is one of Boticca's most cutting edge labels. Using heavy silver with adornments ranging from skulls to crosses, deMaglie's powerful pieces are designed to look like hidden treasure within a dream.
Madame Framboise designer Giulia Landini's dream of starting her own accessories line was realised in 2009. Inspired by the dreamy romanticism of fairy tales, her rings, necklaces and even turbans and handcrafted using vintage details and only the highest quality fabrics.
When it comes to all things bright and beautiful MAYLILY by Evelyn La Starza has it nailed. Limiting each piece to strictly low quantities, designer Evelyn La Starza uses Swarovski crystals on her earrings, rings and necklaces made of wood or often acrylic.

What a view. This was taken from one of the balconies that overlook the crossing - the lady who owns the apartment has lived there for 40 years, so I am very much looking forward to interviewing her tomorrow.
An interesting take on the Abbey Road album among many more!
I love this idea from Jean-Marie and Hatim El Hihi, who photoshop out dead musicians from their iconic album covers. It produces some familiar sights with a twist.
Check their blog out here:
So just putting a bit of the Walley filmmaking team up on here, it's about time as they have been inspiring my work for ages now. Check out there website on the link below. I love the space in there films which really allows their subjects to blossom. And Isa Leshko's beautiful photography in this video takes center stage perfectly.
So we find ourselves in December again, praying for our internet shopping to be delivered on time, sticking and re-sticking christmas decorations to corners of rooms, sustained compulsory family company, and eggnog.
But it is not all bad, we have brandy butter, the gift of giving and receiving and that wonderful sense of refection and renewal for the new year, and brandy more butter.
There will be many lists not unlike the one that I have complied, listing this years most prominent news stories, world events, landmarks, and as this post suggests, the best and worst films of 2011. Most have been composed by critics and journalists paid to view all that the cinema has had to offer us this year - a predicament both good and bad.
As a massive fan of all things cinema I see as much as I can, and not just documentaries, and I am a massive advocate of understanding why you like things and why you don't like things, so if I've got the time and the money and the oppourtunity presents itself I will pretty much watch anything. The only problem being, that as a recently graduating arts student I have quite a lot of time and not a huge amount of money for the cinema. So here I have compiled 'The Best Films of 2011 That I Didn't See'. Based on a very specific formula taking into consideration Mark Kermode's weekly film review podcast from BBC Radio Five Live, my facebook and twitter feeds, the occasional Film 2011 episode with Claudia Winkleman, a general feeling in the atmosphere and the films trailer. This list is a testament to gossip, word of mouth and the views of a few singled out film critics. So here goes……
The posters look dark and intense (curious) and Ryan Gosling sports an interesting combination of satin jacket and cocktail stick (v.curious). The Oscars seemed to have snubbed this film which gives it a bit of a rough diamond/underdog edge.
Interestingly I've heard just as much about the soundtrack as the film, well that a bit of a lie, I've got no idea about the plot but have heard that the soundtrack is brilliant. But a strong soundtrack has never been a bad thing (see Aphex Twins for 'Sleep Furiously' and Alex Turner for 'Submarine').
It's gotta be about more than just driving, 'The Fast and The Furious' never got this much attention, even when The Rock was in it.
'Benda Bilili'
Just saying the name of this documentary fills me with joy. Then there's the trailer, which gives you just a taste of this life affirming rags to riches tale, which follows a band (I'm guessing that the band is called Benda Bilili) of homeless handicapped artists who go from the streets of Kinshasa (Congo) to festival performances. Despite having an almost extensive knowledge of the plot (compared to 'Drive' at least) I am gagging to see this music doc. Their tale which would make an inconcievable piece of fiction also comes with a huge stamp of approval from Mr Mark Kermode.
So Mr Von Triers last film 'Antichrist' caused enough of a stir get to tongues wagging at the festivals. This year with a more approachable subject matter at the centre of his new film, he said something about Nazi's to get those tongues wagging again.
But unrelated hype aside, this film looks very interesting. Following a lavish family wedding and two sister's reactions to what could possibly be the end of the world. It looks stunning and is set to stunning music (Wagner apparently). Rumoured to be more technically competent than emotionally, I would love to judge it for myself.
'Tree Of Life'
Some people loved it, some hated, some had no idea what was going on. I've also heard of a very intriguing space and dinosaur sequence in the middle of it. I get the impression that is about everything, the whole shebang, the cosmos and just how tiny are puny little human lives are in comparison. Friends I have spoken to have been moved to tears and to fury - maybe even tears of fury. Whatever the verdict, Terrence Malick seems to have created something substantial and extremely thought provoking. Not only would I love to see this film, I would love to become acquainted with his back catalogue - reviews seem to suggest that his past films provide a greater understanding his present one and even succeed where this one possibly fails.
'Midnight In Paris'
Apparently, whilst traveling around Europe this summer, I ate at a restaurant in Paris which features in Woody Allens latest offering. The restaurant was famous for its short tempered service, and the Waitress (can you still call them a Waitress of they are over 50?) rolled her eyes and sighed when, after staring at a bottle of wine for 10 minutes, my friend and I asked her if she could use her corkscrew and open it for us. And to be honest, despite following the work of Mr Allen for a while now, I'm just curious to see if the the level of service offered to Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams and co is any better.
So there it is, and if anyone was wondering what to get me for Christmas or my birthday next year (October 20th) - you've just read 5 massive hints.

Is GERG the Wisky DC?
things go poorly
Is GERG the Wisky DC?
Did GERG go to Wisconsin practices this week and teach them how to not tackle?
enough credit.
Not only did he mastermind UCLA's d last night...
...he is overseeing both Wiscy and OU's d tonight from his AWACS. This after patrolling the Houston sideline incognito this afternoon.
At least this means Michigan should be in the BCS now.
Tackling is hard.
WIsonsin's Defense
At least this means Michigan should be in the BCS now.
Kurt Cousins shaves his arms.
This is by far my favorite comment tonight for no reason whatsoever.
He has to, right????? They're so damn smooth!
Seems that Wilson is forcing a lot of passes. He should just take off an run...
I may have squirrels in my backyard that are better at designing offensive/defensive calls than Wiscy.
Those f-ckers can jump!
Wilson seems to crumble under the pressure more than any other starting quarterback around
So does Bielima. What close games has he won? Either he blows teams out or he sucks.
Wisconsin is so frickin soft... unbelievable.
Wisconsin players faces look like they are down by 4 TDs
got them right where you want them Wisconsin .....O wait..
Why has Wisky completely abandoned the run? It makes no sense.
Because Bielema is the most overrated X and Os coach since Mack Brown.
I disagree. No one ever thought Mack Brown was even an average Xs and Os coach. He is/was a great manager--which is really what the Texas head coach needs to be.
Seriously. He did the same thing against TCU last year. I really really dislike him and enjoy watching him bring about his own demise on the biggest stage.
I can't believe how bad Wisconsin's D is. Looks like GERG is working his magic there.
Bielema calling time-outs to try and get the ball back from Michigan State.
Anchor Steam Christmas Ale.
Also. Fuck state. I'm sick of this smoke and mirrors bullshit. Fuck fuck fuck them. Fuck. Them.
They don't have a good defense and haven't had one for nearly three years. Wisky looks bad too....all those 2 and 3 star recruits are showing their worth.
If I understand things correctly, the only outcome that unambiguously helps our BCS situation in the B1G championship game is a BLOWOUT.
Because rooting for Wiscy the first quarter and now rooting for Sparty is making me feel like a deathly ill syphilic and hepatitis-ridden whore who is stll turning tricks, despite a phlegmy and foul cough.
Can you say fake FG?
"fake field goal" fuck those assholes.
Are boring. They should be outlawed.
Is Wisconsin the worst 2nd quarter football team ever? Discuss.
Yes. There is no discussion needed.
I broke out a bottle of veuve clicquot ponsardin when it looked like blowout. Now it doesnt even taste good. I think I dump it in the yard for the dog to lick.
Adam Ant????
I think Bielema keeps getting fatter every year. Fuck that guy.
Dude sweats nacho cheese sauce.
This is playing out like a baskeball series of runs. Wisconsin gets 21 in the first, MSU gets 22 in the second.
To double-screen the golf tournament from California. Tiger is leading Zach Johnson.
I knew Fox would be terrible; any college game on Fox is just a mistake. I had forgotten just how spectacularly terrible it could be, with GUS JOHNSON (and is it Charles Davis?) doing the play-by-play. Thank goodness he's gone to Fox, or whatever it is he does now.
Gus Johnson is to announcing what Fox is to college football.
It's as if you see straight into my soul. Bless you.
But fox is to college football what it is BECAUSE of Gus Johnson. It's like holding a mirror in front of a mirror.
you mean the 'Dane Cook' of announcing?
Pizza Hut Half Time Show
Pizza Hut
Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell
Color commentator, pregame host...but does anyone remember a former coach ever being relegated to sideline reporter?
Why does no one even acknowledge that Ok. State is playing for a national title shot? Or at least that they should be? Zero mention of it from the crew calling the game. Just a bunch of "trying to make a BCS bowl" nonsense.
When did everyone just concede an unprecedented rematch between two teams from the same conference? Why on earth does anyone think Bama is more deserving than Ok State, much less think they are so superior that only an SEC team (make that two SEC teams) deserves to play for the title? Why does LSU have to beat these ass-hats twice?
Alabama has beaten 10-2 Arkansas, 9-3 Penn State (who sucks, by the way), and 7-5 Auburn. That is it as far as teams with a winning record goes.
Ok. State has beaten 10-2 K-State, 9-3 Baylor, 7-5 Missouri, 7-5 Texas, 8-4 ULL, 8-4 Tulsa AND they are kicking the shit out of 9-3 Oklahoma. They didn't play a 1-AA team like Bama did in freaking November (Georgia Southern). They didn't already get a shot against the other team in the title game on their home field.
ESPN and CBS can eat a dick. This coverage and this fiasco (if it comes to pass) are completely ridiculous.
I was real pro remacj but even I am reconsidering after this trucking
This post just made me switch from Clemson-VT to the Bedlam game. Good stuff.
Because they're in the SEC.
Rematch is lame.
LSU and Alabama are the two best teams in the college football and it's not even close. If you can't see that you don't understand football very well. Alabama will play in the NC and it would be an illegitimate championship game if they didn't.

100 day trips from Baltimore [Pictures]
We know gas prices aren't what they used to be, but summer calls out for that all-time family favorite: the road trip. Here are 100 places to visit, including many that won't put too much stress on the fuel gauge.

100 Maryland places

100 Maryland places
Image 6 of 100
Catoctin Mountain Park, Thurmont, Md.( Doug Kapustin, Baltimore Sun / September 16, 2008 )
Distance from Baltimore: 65 miles, about a 90-minute drive
Why it's worth the gas: It's been the weekend destination for American presidents since Franklin D. Roosevelt discovered the area's natural beauty and created the presidential retreat now known as Camp David. The park offers hiking, camping, swimming, picnicking, fishing and more. Nearby is Cunningham Falls, a 78-foot waterfall that is the largest cascading waterfall in the state -- and one of the prettiest.
Don't miss: Hog Rock Nature Trail, especially in the fall when numerous sugar maples plunge visitors into a world of scarlet. Some 1,600 feet below sprawls the flaxen farmland of Monocacy Valley, speckled with the oranges and yellows and reds of pocket woods. Farmers, who once brought hogs to the base of the rock to fatten them up on the nuts of oaks and chestnuts, named the overlook.

Pain in the hip area, which is the most common symptom.
Pain during use of the hip muscles.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I don't care if people look me up on the armoury at all, however, my pve gear looks terrible, I have an idea of what would look cool on my mage and i have an idea of what i need to get through westfall without being the most embarrassing level 54 wolf victim, however, the two are definitely not the same. So when in an unsafe environment I wear lots of int and spell damage gear, when in the safety of an inn or city I can afford to look how i would like - pink fesitval dress, long silk cloak, festival shoulders (got when level 18 last year :) festival crown (got the other day much to the surprise of a stunned looking horde guild that were having a meeting of some sort) blue sparkler and phantom blade (every frost mage should hit peeps with an icicle), now, with keep in mind that i try to log out in an inn or city, guess which I'm wearing when i do. Plenty of addons have an automatically equip gear in environment option, i use itemrack.
However, I am a little more concerned that WoWInsider, which I have always considered a more thoughtful and thought provoking site, posts an article that effectively says 'Lolz, you do this?? nubs'. Just because you don't, doesn't mean we shouldn't. Secondly, I know lots of people that make use of the city/inn auto equip addons, mainly for fun, i suspect that the majority of 'logout clothes' are just that, but some assume its so people cant see their equipment and think they are terrified that people can see what it is. I cant understand what the fuss is about though, why are you so worried that you cant see the equipment?, you never could before, yet people got through the day.
Sorry, but I'm afraid this article is well below wowinsider's high standards

Question: What can you tell me about the Thesmophoria?
Answer: Demeter's great festival the Themophoria, was celebrated in Athens and other centers in Greece.

Question: Do you have information on the Great Mother Figure?
Answer: The cult of the Great Mother developed in Phyrigia in central Asia Minor and was brought to Greece during the 6th century BCE. In Greece the cult was given credibility by being similar to the worship of Demeter. The cult went on to become one of the major religious movements of the Roman Empire. It is interesting that the Amazons may have been associated with this cult. One feature of Greek Religion is the wonderful art it produced. The cult of the Great Mother produced nothing of artistic importance.
Question: What can you tell me about the festival of Haloa?
Answer: Harrison has quite a bit to say about Haloa. It is a festival conducted by women of cereal an wine associated with Demeter and Dionysius.

Question: Where was Demeter born?
Answer: Since Demeter may have come from Ge Meter (Earth Mother) the best answer may be the earth.
Question: Where does Demeter rule from? (such as the sky, sea...)
Answer: The earth is her domain.
Question: Where was Demeter born?
Answer: Demeter was born to Rhea, queen of the universe, so Demeter was born in the universe.
Question: birth and death of Demeter
Answer: Demeter was born after life came to the earth. She is an immortal goddess and will never die.

Question: what was Demeter's favorite animal?
Answer: Probably the crane, but she was also fond of any livestock animal.
Question: Did Demeter ever try to kill Hades?
Answer: One deity cannot kill another deity. Also deities are not allowed to enter Hades. Only Hades, Persephone, and Hecate are in Hades. Being in Hades is equivalent to being dead, so in this sense Hades is already dead.
Question: Did hades ever rape Persephone?
Answer: Click on the Menu Directory below and click on Persephone.
Question: did the demeter cult mean that women found their freedom?
Answer: Not likely. The women's cult of Dionysus (Maenads) is sometimes interpreted as a reaction to the the loss of women's freedom.
Question: why dont you have any pictures of demeter like paintings not sculptures of her
Answer: No paintings from ancient Greece survive. There are vase paintings which have survived and they are indicated. Some additional materials are listed.
Question: who is Demeter married to?
Answer: Demeter never married.
Question: Where does Demeter fit into the over-throw of Cronus? Did she help her brother Zeus? If so why is she not considered one of the 12 olympians?
Answer: Demeter was swallowed by Cronus so she could not help. Twelve was probably a holy number but all the gods and goddesses are important to mankind. The worship of Demeter was quite important. He worship was a daily event while the other olympians were worshipped less frequently.
Question: IS THERE A PLAY FOR WHEN PERSEPHONE WAS TOOKEN TO HADES
Answer: In Euripides' IonThe scene of a girl gathering flowers is erotic, and it is associated especially with scenes of divine rape (cf. Persephone). Alcestis claimed the notice of three playwrights of distinction, Euripides, T.S. Elliot, and Thornton Wilder. The essential theme was perennial; he enactment of betrothal, resistence and eventual submission was re-encated in the ritual drama of every Greek wedding ceremony. The elements in the traditional story of Pluto's rape of Persephone, at the heart of the Mysteries, are marriage, abduction and death. The bride, terrestrial or divine, undergoes a change in condition and status, from virgin to bride. Euripides' satyr play, Alcestis (438 BCE), T.S. Eliot's drawing room comedy in three acts, The Cocktail Party (1949), Thornton Wilder's Alcestiad: A Life in the Sun' (1955)
Question: What was Demeters personality like? And why were her symbols wheat and others? And are there any, clear, pictures of her symbols? And what does Demeter look like? In words not pictures
Answer: Demeter had a nurturing personality. She was the goddess of grain so grains were her symbol. You may make a clear picture of grass in seed. Demeter is a beautiful woman who can change her shape to suite any taste or need. She is better recognized by her symbols: wheat, a wreath usually of wheat, a hand torch, grain sheaf, and scepter. Her chariot is a biga drawn by two snakes.
Question: What is a biga
Answer: A biga is a chariot drawn by two animals, one on either side of the of the chariot pole.
Question: where was demeter born
Answer: First she was born from Rhea, then Cronus swallowed her, and later Zeus made him regurgitate her. Was she born twice? Hera was born in Argos or Samos. Zeus was born in a cave on Crete. Why would Demeter be born in a place separate from these?
Question: What side does Demeter take in the Trojan War?
Answer: I find no involvement of Demeter in the Trojan war.

Question: how was demeter god of the harvest created or born
Answer: All the Greek gods result from an original separation of the earth and sky. In most other religions God creates the heaven and earth but for the Greeks the heaven and earth (sky and earth) create the gods. The sky and earth are Uranos and Gaia. From these two mating the Titans were born. From the mating of Titans came the Olympians. Demeter is an Olympian the goddess of the Corn, the daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. The mating of the gods is unlike human mating. The gods Cronus and Rhea conceived in their minds the need for the goddess of corn. When they mated this conception resulted in the birth of the goddess Demeter who was prepared at birth to deal with her realm. At birth she began to organize her realm and quite quickly came up with a set of rules for it. She broadcast these as universal laws. Shortly thereafter she began to hold court and listen to how these laws were being carried out. Appeals to her laws were presented to her as prayers from humans, other organisms and appeals by other deities. She then modifies the laws or makes exceptions according to her cosmic plan and in this way answers prayers. The Greeks are also unique in that they believe in the rule of law and that the gods and humans are both subject. It is significant that Themis, the goddess of law, is a Titan who was not overthrown by the Olympians but was accepted into the Olympic pantheon.

Choosing a Baby Sitter You Can Count on
Checking Background
Whether you do this before or after the interview, it's critical that you check to see how much baby-sitting experience a candidate has. Some baby sitters may have completed training courses; others might have experience with their own brothers and sisters. Check the sitter's references before hiring. Ask past employers if the person is dependable, what age children were cared for and how children got along with the baby sitter.
If you have an infant, confirm that the candidate knows the proper procedures for feeding/burping, bathing, sleeping and playing. Because there are different qualifications needed to care for a 6-month-old versus a 6-year-old, make sure to address age-specific issues.
When You Find the Right Sitter
Once you've settled on someone you're comfortable with, you need to iron out certain details:
- Pay -- Although there is no standard wage for baby sitters, keep in mind that minimum wage is five dollars and seventy-five cents per hour. It is typical to pay anywhere between five and ten dollars an hour, depending on the area of the country you live in and the amount of experience your sitter has. You may want to pay a sitter with a car a higher wage than one who requires a pick-up and drop off.
- Make a list -- Before the baby sitter arrives, make a list of child care information. The list should include routines your child relies upon, such as a story before bedtime; pet care information; house rules; contact names and numbers in case of an emergency; where you can be reached and what time you will be home.
- Follow-up -- The best comments on the baby sitter's performance come from your children. If your children are old enough to talk, ask what they did, if they enjoyed their time with the baby sitter and if they want the sitter to come again.
