I had the worst crush imaginable on David Bowie (me and my friends spent hours in the mid eighties watching The Man Who Fell To Earth looking for the shot of David's penis - it isn't very big) but even I can see that old Dave isn't one of our greatest thespians.
Hi Emma. Getting straight to the point, it sounds as though you all had tremendous staying power, if you watched the movie repeatedly until you spotted dick! I've seen the film many times but can't say I noticed it, lol!!
I think if the role requires alienation then Bowie is good at it but, you're right, he's far more likely to be remembered for the quality of his song writing. Have you seen him in "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" or "The Hunger"?
I consider myself fortunate to have watched the science fiction television series Doctor Who from the very beginning. I prefer the programme’s early years from which my favourite story is the Patrick Troughton serial Fury From The Deep. I am also an admirer of Gerry Anderson’s puppet shows and successive live-action series, from Fireball XL5 to Space Precinct and beyond! My pick is an episode of UFO entitled The Psychobombs. I am currently addicted to US supernatural drama Medium while, in film, I’ve always adored the gothic horror of Hammer. On first hearing Roxy Music’s Virginia Plain, music, both popular and classical, became the major force in my life, so much so that I gained a BA in the subject from Nottingham University and an M.Mus in composition from Goldsmiths, University of London. Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 In C Minor - The Resurrection and Stravinsky’s The Rite Of Spring are favoured scores. Aladdin Sane by David Bowie is probably my favourite rock album. Singles of choice are Mott The Hoople’s All The Young Dudes, Steve Harley And Cockney Rebel’s Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) and No More Heroes by The Stranglers.
