And of course they remind me of a mini-series that would comfortably be in the hunt for greatest show of all time.All of this. Was literally just reshelving my Le Carre. of all the Smiley portrayals out there, nothing beats Guinness and his put upon world weary performance, he’s got charm, frustration, and resigned cunning all in one eye roll or line delivery. Excuse the le carre pun but he played the perfect spy

Smiley's People is indeed excellent as well. It's a shame they passed over the Honourable Schoolboy due to budgetary constraints/concerns. This is the part where I caution anyone watching either miniseries to be certain that you are watching the original British episodes and not the US broadcasts. The US versions are heavily edited in both chrosnology and content to the tune of one less episode perseries. An odd mive since most US shows run on too long or sag in the middle and neither of these is guilty of any such thing.Mateo Sanboval wrote: ↑Mon Feb 15, 2021 10:33 pm I'd very much like to have a simple 7" of Geoffrey Burgon's opening and cloing credits tunes to the 1979 BBC adaptation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

I haven’t watched this in years and I think you just helped me make a decision for tonight (at least start it). I never saw the Smiley’s people follow up so I should probably remedy that as well.
What did you think of the film version from a few years back with Oldman as Smiley?
I thought it was brilliantly cast, brilliantly acted, and exceptionally boring
Mateo Sanboval wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 3:28 am Interesting. If memory serves, Brother Hatter, the UK is significantly longer than the US version. Maybe as much as 30 minutes longer. And the sequence of events is dissapointingly shifted as a result.Yeah, I believe your memory serves correctly. all accounts I’ve been able to find say that the original US broadcast was shuffled a bit and yeah about half an hour shorter, 290 minutes vs 315, but somehow on the Blu-ray release It seems to come to 310 all together, but I haven’t seen a good breakdown of WHAT is different and what is missing other than the Connie Sachs meeting being shifted until after Peter goes to the circus, but close attention this viewing I can see some awkward seams in the first two episodes, so I’m sure there are quite a few trims and shuffles. I remember trying to figure this all out years ago and just throwing my hands up in a flurry of region locked malaise and sour grapes.

Somewhere between Rubinstein’s Blue Thunder and Airwolf, really good and really 80s in all the best ways!We don't talk about Black Moon Rising enough at all. i didn't even see it or know about it until two or three years ago when i was on a Tommy Lee Jones kick....imagine my surprise when the writing credit came up, how did I miss this???

John Lurie, US3, Morphine and such. A nice little movie and a very cool soundtrack that I wish was available on vinyl.

Hoping one of you mad collector freaks out there has the Eibon Press comic book of The Beyond, which came with a CD of the alternate '7 Doors of Death' US soundtrack by Mitch and Ira Yuspeh? I'd love to hear the full score. Please shout me if you can help!
@deafmetal - I'll be honest, I'm kinda looking at you dude! ;)
