Sorry Bottle, I just had to The link is right under my nose.

Yes, I understand! Thanks for visiting!

Eccles, I've seen seen Clockwork Orange. Part of it I've seen twice. Which, plus the ending, is the only half I've ever heard. Let me explain. At a party at the beginning of this last summer, they had Clockwork Orange playing over all these TVs, but since there was dancing, there was no sound. Just images. And I was quite disturbed by them! I saw (with some gaps) up to the part where he's singing "singing in the rain" in the bathtub where the guy who's wife he's raped is sitting outside doing that weird thing with his eyes. At that point, since I'd already seen Pi in the same manner that evening, and I wasn't particularly into the dancing of it, I left because I was quite disturbed. There was no context, just these violent images (I suppose it was lucky for me that they weren't playing Beehtoven's 9th at the time, just techno music that I couldn't stand anyway). Then, at a party just a week or so ago with pretty much the same group of freinds, there was a room where people were watching Clockwork Orange, which I'd sworn I wouldn't watch again because it was so disturbing. Well, at least with the sound turned on it was more in context, so I watched from where he's standing in line and the beurocrat is talking about how they enjoy punishment and he agrees, all the way to the end WITH the sound. It was a good movie, the parts I both saw and heard. It may be a great movie all the way through, but I haven't seen it that way.

Clockwork Orange has been withdrawn from the Uk. You cannot see it anywhere here.

Would that be because of the sex, the violence, or the violent sex?

Not really, but because the newspapers criticised Stanley Kubrick, and he himself decided to withdraw the film from over here - not a censor's decision at all. (Oh, and there were death threats for if he didn't...) Now it's up to Christiane Kubrick to decided whether the film is released or not.

that's too bad

Hi Bluebottle - how are you? Just to change the subject - which of the Yellow Submarine albums is the new one? I've got *a* YS album. Hey Bulldog is fantastic.

Uh... I'm not sure...

Alright me old mucker Irvin! I'm well gutted that we can't get clockwork orange over here, Kubrick is my personal
inspiration and that is one film I'd do pretty much anything to get my paws on. The only shots I've seen of
the film matey was the most excellanty trailor that old Bluey showed me during the summer. Still, I'm
trying to get a copy of a friend of mine. Have you seen any other Kubrick films and if so, how do they compare?
I worship THE SHINING - a classic film, and in my opinion, it has Nicholson in his best ever performance
other than ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST.

Cakwalker.....sorry, meant to say Cakewalker, erm, I know the answer to that question as I have a share
in EMI, erm....the new yellow submarine album is more or less the new one you fool! It looks new has new
graphics and has news songs, you can't miss it.

Yes, the "new" yellow Submarine album was released this summer, and is blue with a Yellow Submarine on. The old album has a picture of the Beatles on a Hill with Blue Meanies, glove, Fred, Jeremy, Yellow Submarine on it etc...
The other difference is that the Old album has the 4 "new" songs, Yellow Submarine and All You Need Is Love, plus instrumental music by George Martin. The New album doesn't have the instrumental music, but 14 songs by the Beatles that are in the film, ie Eleanor Rigby etc..

I don't know which version of the song "It's All Too Much" is on the New Album - the 4 minute or the 6. The 4 minute version is on the Old album, and I'm desperate to get a copy of the 6, but I don't know if they released it.
