Paid Members Ronnie Posted March 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) I'm really glad that he had such a long life, and that it wasn't this villain which got him: Asterix (who is 60 himself!) is one of my quirky little hobbies. I think I might try to reduce the unread pile by one this evening in memory of him. Edit: Didn't he have the weirdest pen-holding style?!

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 24, 2020 Read all the Asterix books when I was a kid, absolutely loved them. What a body of work he's left behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uderzo, and now Dibango. I can see this is going to be a very dark period indeed. As you say: fucking fucking hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted March 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 24, 2020 I'd love to get hold of the Asterix books again. There are a couple of the older animated movies on Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title track is more iconic than most know. Michael Jackson re-adapted it most famously but check out the massive list of people who did also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul_Makossa#Adaptations_and_samples  Will have to dig further into his huge discography soon. RIP to a real one. Edited March 25, 2020 by sj5522 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like Asterix go to Parc Asterix near Paris. I absolutely loved it. Got to meet Asterix, Obelix, Cheif Vitalstatistix and many others as well as visiting the Gaulish village. There are many excellent rides there too but it was busy and I didn't do any but still had an amazing time!

A 90s video store legend if ever there was one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 25, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Fuck. What a fine director he was. Only really one or two duffers in his whole career. Re-Animator and From Beyond are obvious classics, but I watched Dolls last October and it's fantastic. Plus he did a really good version of The Pit and the Pendulum, and Fortress! Rewatched that endlessly when it came out. Oh, and Stuck was a great little thriller too. Most of his films were under-appreciated, come to think of it.

Paid Members chokeout Posted March 25, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 25, 2020 Looking through his filmography now and he's a great example of that generation of Directors that made a career from video shops. A Very specific budget of film with box artwork to stand out for rental. The Dentist, Reanimator, Fortress, Robot Jox. Even if you never saw them people of a certain age can probably tell you exactly what the video case or trailer was like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
