Good evening one and all. We’ve got a ripping new series here, haven’t we? Yes, we have. We’re revisiting a favorite of ours with “I Can’t Believe You Haven’t Seen That 3: The Re-Believening.” Me old china Mike and I have come up with a little list each, listing movies everyone assumes we’ve seen but what ho, we bally haven’t, wot wot? We’re starting off all tickety-boo while Mike chose from my list and how’s your father? but I’ve never seen the movie “Quadrophenia”! Crumbs! It’s true, though! So, this week we’re seeing a bit of a to do from some lovely British minstrels who’ve thrown a tune or two together so I can finally see what all the fuss is about, eh wot? Brilliant! Too right! I’m sure these fellows in that little combo The Whom (I’ve taken the liberty of correcting the grammar, something I’m sure they would have done had they gotten ‘round to it) and we’ll see what all the bother is about some lot called The Mods and listen to some jolly nice tunes. I do hope they don’t get too raucous, but let’s see . . . oh. Oh my. Um . . . bit loud, innit? Well, I’m nothing if not hip to the young people and their Big Bands so . . . oh, dear me . . . that’s not . . . that’s not actual vulgarity, is it? Oh, my . . . Mater! Do fetch me my smelling salts, won’t you? Ta! God save the King! Apples and pears! Bubble and squeak!
Poll question: what celebrity cameo threw you out of the story?

Grand Moff Tarkin & Princess Leia In Rouge one… they were both DEAD so no matter how well ( or obvious) the CGI was going to be their appearance was going to be distracting. Obvious celebrity placement in a film is always distracting, sometimes to comic affect but mostly it’s a bad idea in my opinion.
Interesting take on the “cameo” concept! I would have classified the use of Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher as more “grave robbing” or “cinematic necrophilia,” myself, but I certainly agree that they jolted me right out of the movie!
Oh, sting in Dune and his winged jockstrap.
“I WILL kill him!”
“All I see is an Atreides I want to kill!”
You. Mentioned Toyah Wilcox is in this movie, she is kinda fantastic and she is in Urgh a Music War!
ANOTHER reason to check that movie out! Thanks, Vince!
