Just watching a special about his career. Showing different interviews and concert clips over the years ... I've never seen a person who is so much like water, so changeable. Every time you see him he looks different. You can see the life he's living right then, it's written all over him. The man is one of the most excitingly mutable I've ever seen ... ew. He would be a gas to be around if you could get away frequently ...

It is indeed highly recommended to inhale fresh air in between gaseous highs.

Yes. And Bowie is definitely a bit of a gas-bag at times. But a clever one. ;)

Ok. So maybe I'm showing my age here, but Labyrinth was one of the first movies I ever saw at the picture theatre. The first was raggidy ann and andy or something like that...
I loved that movie.
But the tights!!!
I look back now and grimace.
But he was great.
In a funny kinda way.

Labyrinth is a good show. The music is good, the mood is fabulous, and I thought Bowie was a bit ridiculous in it as well, the first time I saw it. By the third viewing though I'd changed my mind. The movie was a good vehicle for displaying the dark, different, exciting side of him.

I thought he was absolutely brilliant in this.

I didn't see this. I'll see if my library has it. Thanks for mentioning. I could do a search on Bowie as well, he did several movies didn't he.

Be warned it's a pretty dark war movie set in a Japanses prisoner of war camp. Our Mr Bowie plays and Aussie - probably why I remember. I think he was in Zoolander as well. There can be something Christopher Walkenish about some of the characters he plays. I'm almost sure he's a non-flyer too.

Yes CW'ish is a good way of describing Bowie in flicks,oh yes, actually I wouldn't be one bit surprised if Walken uses Bowie as a role model at times, I mean, you know, someone to think of When ... who started all that freak shite anyway? Wasn't Alice Cooper, there was another English bloke before him ... can't think of it ... cruel ..

Not Ozzy Osborne?
BTW The Deer Hunter is another favourite of mine.

Means flying scares him Sh*tless, so he won't and don't.

You have got to be kidding. Really? What's he do, swim? Come on. He must fly. Maybe he takes a ton of tranqs or something but he must. Come on, he did that movie about the spaceman, he wrote a song.. what was that? That's hilarious, do you mean, like, flying Literally or flying in another way ... 'cause I know he's definitely been 'round the world if you know what I mean ...

No, I'm serious, apparently he doesn't do the plane thing.
As for the other well I actually LMAO today as I was chucking out old files and came across an old project I worked on called Tokemaster. What really got me was the first line of briefing paper. "This is a joint initiative...." Didn't realise quite how loud I'd laughed until I looked up to see about 80 people looking at me...OOOOPS

That made me LMAO too. Unfortunate you couldn't share the joke with the 80 others, they might've needed a good laugh themselves ...

Oh I'm sure my everyday oddity provides them with significant amusment. Like when I've got my headphones on while I'm working away and don't realise that I've actually started singing out loud until someone comes and taps me on the shoulder. Or the unexpectedly verbal diatribe directed at the little man in my mind - like the shopping mall thing, just in the office.
