Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-8-2024 — Fly Me To The Moon

11th August, 2024: Fly Me To The Moon.

Right … Sundays … !

It’s officially Sunday … and?

I’ll happily admit to feeling tired.

Late night movie review writing … takes it out of a body!

That said … ?

Granted, I’m a touch harsh on Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

But?

I still think it’s worth watching …

Actually, on Thursday?

I re-watched Disney’s Tron, on Thursday.

After having mentioned it to my nephew.

Yes, it’s a silly as it ever was.

And, frankly?   Not — as far as I can tell — something that’s as technically as accurate as Brainstorm or Mr Robot.

For all its silliness, though?

Tron is a good looking piece.

Smiley Culture: In Memorium

Good lord … ?

I’ve got to admit, I’ve just come across a sad bit of news.

Depending, of course, on whether you’re a fan of reggae, or not.

Actually, I’ve got to admit, I’m not.

But I’m also honest enough to admit that I — like a lot of people my age — have listened and enjoyed plenty of it, over the years.

Including to a couple of tracks by the now late David Emmanuel.

Better known to my generation as Smiley Culture.

Who died, earlier today, during a police raid.

Smiley only had two really big hits here in the UK, Police Officer and Cockney Translation.

But in so doing … ?

Introduced Britain to the Jamaican-style sound-system, the basis for more forms of Jamaican music than I think anyone’s got time to list.

And, at least in my case … ?

In releasing Police Officer put a HUGE smile on my face.

Here.

Enjoy … !

In Memorium.

David Emmanuel, AKA Smiley Culture.
