Dr.Adder

I've got it on DVD, transferred ages ago from an ancient videocassette (VHS), which was in turn transferred from another videocassette (continued...).
It's a great science fiction film with themes and insights that are still relevant today.
I also remember the scene with the poor cypress trees...
Maybe I'll rewatch it soon, just to 'refresh' my 'volatile' memory.
The programmers of the 'old guard' Bitmap Brothers were definitely inspired by the film with their two Speedball games, especially the second one, a small gem of graphic programming (and AI).
James Caa(a)n was very good; he also acted in Alien Nation.
It wasn't a masterpiece, but it remains an early example of a sci-fi police film, with anti-racist elements (the theme of drugs is included here as well).
Speaking of memory... congrats on your 100th writing (and beyond).

The film is quite faithful to the book, but only on the surface. Some sci-fi elements like the 'power suit' have been omitted, probably for technical reasons. In the film, the director deliberately included satire (through obvious trash inserts, both advertising and otherwise), whereas in the novel, the author expressed specific socio-political thoughts on a certain type of society (the issue is more complex, though). The writer was also harshly criticized for the opinions contained in the novel. A few years later, however, he would surprise everyone with the masterpiece "Stranger in a Strange Land." The work would become a sort of 'Bible' for libertarian movements (it was even banned on some university campuses). The book will be extensively censored and cut (over 60,000 words) both for editorial needs and especially for the concepts expressed by Heinlein, which could be deemed 'offensive' to the tastes and morals of those times. My unsolicited advice is to read "Starship Troopers" (mine is an old edition from '75, but there are newer ones with more updated translations), and right after, "Stranger in a Strange Land" (but only if it's the unabridged version of over 220,000 words). Watching the film (despite being well-developed, it is fundamentally action-based) cannot even come close to the reading of the book, especially if it is a milestone of literature of this genre.

Dear Macaco, so... your questions are pleasant and valid.
Some books have been 'dug up' from my memory, while others, despite being 'old', I seek out in my 'ancient' collection.
About a third of the novels I own, I haven’t read yet; who knows if I'll ever get around to it...
With drawing, reading has always been my great passion, even before music.
It’s clear that my interest in certain topics helps me remember better.
Moreover, I have a good memory; let’s say not made of iron, but of iron oxide (or ferric, Fe2O3).
In some cases, however, I do a 'quick skim' of the story that interests me, so many details come back to mind.

Arrgghh! (periodical).
I read 'Drim Tiater' in a review of the KC (just kidding!).
Is there really anything more to add about this masterpiece?
I don't think so, but maybe yes!
Line-up: Fripp (Guitar & Mellotron), Wetton (Bass & Voice), Bruford (Percussives), with thanks to: Cross (Violin), Collins (Soprano Saxophone), McDonald (Alto Saxophone), Miller (Oboe), Charig (Cornet).
The needle on the 'tachometer' shown in the booklet is slightly past 7 (red).
"Starless & Bible Black" played on April 29 '74 at the "Stanley Theater" (Pittsburgh) is nothing short of impressive. Fripp is a unique guitarist (left-handed, but also not).
The Mellotron in SABB is played in fifths.
Fripp will dissolve (the reasons are complex) the KC (only apparently... see Discipline in "Indiscreet III" and on April 28-29? '81 "I took 7 years to prepare" Fripp, during the making of Discipline) both due to a deep 'spiritual crisis', and to his concept of dinosaur civilization (applicable in other contexts as well).
There might be a connection in the lyrics of "Dinosaur" in THRAK... "I'm a Dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones."
Fun fact: the last three KC albums all start with the letter "T", wonder if the next one will too...

The substance "M" is related to the work "Scrutare nel Buio" or "Un Oscuro Scrutare." In my opinion, it's a good novel for its content and carries an important message. Having read many of Dick's novels, this one didn't strike me as one of his best (although Dick cared a lot about it), but it’s a matter of taste (as we well know). Anyway, my advice is to always read a book by Dick, because every novel (or short story) by this author is a unique experience. Wow, I'm late... "I hope to arrive soon" (Dickian slip?).

Once again, my 'little voice' was right, advising me not to do the review. Indeed, here it is, well written. It's (in my opinion) a pleasant and well-played album (3.5™). Joan has a distinctive voice. Let's not forget the great guitarist C. Spedding (Guitars & 6 String Acoustic). However, Chris will somewhat squander the talent he possesses, especially as a session man. Curiosity: Incidental vocals by J. Armatrading in "Don't Lose Your Head" by... Vocal greetings ©.

@Weseven, "Dirk Gently" presents a much more subtle, polite, and moderate irony compared to the 'explosive' and 'surreal-absurd science fiction' humor of the "Hitchhiker's Guide" series, therefore it is quite distant from the "Guide," both in plot and characters. When I read it a while ago, I enjoyed it. Now, flipping through it quickly for the rec, I still find it a good original novel, with very successful parts (the one with the ghost, the couch stuck on the stairs), and others a bit less so. The structure, however, features short chapters, each focusing on various characters, later bringing together some 'protagonists.' From the "Guide," I first read "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" (U968, which I picked up years ago at used book stalls, and it’s my favorite, perhaps because it was the first). Then came: "Life, the Universe and Everything," "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish," and lastly (don't ask me why), the "Guide" itself... Ah yes!... There was also "Mostly Harmless," but it left me practically indifferent... Regards ©.

Trumpet Commentary (part 1.0).
This time my 'little voice' (like Magnum P.I) was right in advising me not to review it, so here it is.
A work of value, but not easy to evaluate due to a series of 'evaluative fluctuations' currently not identifiable.
Nevertheless, it’s one of those discs I need to listen to carefully again to 'unearth' all its nuances.
The idea of titling the tracks using the names of colors is original.
White is obtained from the chromatic sum of all other colors.
Both the title of the disc and of the pieces possess a multitude of meanings.
Great McLaughlin, even if he’s not the guitarist who excites me the most.
The booklet is well-crafted and rich in interesting notes.
Curiosity 1: in the original CD, the opening section of "Green" (hello Manalishi) was included as the concluding part of "Red."
"Indigo" contains 5 seconds (brass intro) not included in the original LP and CD.
Curiosity 2: In the notes (reissue credits) under A & R Coordination, the name Patti Matheny appears, which might remind one of...
