Child Like








"Smalll children in particular work in much shorter dimensions of time than adults. Tomorrow is a long way off, next week an eternity away. In stort-telling programmes, drama serials, or feature films divided into several episodes, the dramatic installments should be treated with caution. Young Children often regard each installment as complete in intself and may not be able to see or may even avoid subsequent episodes which could provude the resolution to the situation. 

For reassurance that the characters with whom they identify are safe. 

If regular and well-loved presenters of factual childrens programmes are involved in violent situations, care must bre taken to show that they are safe and well afterwards.”

I Didn’t Like it at all, 
I didn’t understand it, 
I didn’t know What Was Happening —

You know, it was kind of sort very romantically-put that he was regenerating into a new body, because as far as I was concerned, he was dying and I would never see him again….

…of course, that lasted for all of about five minutes, because I had completely forgotten who William Hartnell was within about four episodes of the new Doctor Who…!”

— Toya Wilcox




“I love this sparkle thing….
Maybe it has like, The Imagination of The CHILD in Him…
…Sparkle Dust.

We’ll worry about Clark Kent, later.”




“….and what that came out of was…
….there is a group of “fans”, of the films - 
That Don’t LIKE Comic Sidekicks.

They Like the films to be tough, and like Terminator, and y’know, be real Guy Movies —

And they get  very, very upset  — and very opinionated — about anything that has anything to do with being Childlike — and 
The Movies are for CHILDREN
but they don’t want to admit that — 

Or, they don’t want to have Comic Sidekicks in these movies.

…..and in the first movie, they 
absolutely HATED Artoo and Threepio.

Now, Jar-Jar’s getting accused of the same thing.”

— George Lucas


At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, 
Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.












Come away, O Human Child, 
to The Waters of The Wild —
For The World’s more full of Weeping,
than You could understand….

1999-2021


In a Palace of Dreams, 
A Queen stands alone. 

In Her Wisdom 
The One Chance 
to Save Her People. 

She is Strong.
She is Determined

She is Their Only Hope.

“There are Things I Cannot Do.

I Cannot Watch while People Suffer, 
I  Cannot Sit when Something Must Be Done, 
I Cannot Judge Those Who are Different. 

There are Things I Cannot Do —Run, Hide, Ignore. 

There are Things I Cannot Do.
But there are certainly 
Things I WILL Do."




Youssa People Gon'a Die..?

I don't know.

Gungans get pasted too, eh?

I hope not.

Gungans no dyin' without A Fight.
Wesa warriors.

Wesa got A Grand Army.
....dat's why you no liken us, mesa tinks.


This is the Penguin edition of Shelley
which was edited by a very fine lady of letters, 
a very nice Tory lady called Isabel Quigley. 

She says in her introduction that 
“No Poet better repays cutting [laughter]. 
No great poet was ever less worth reading 
in his entirety than Shelley.”

George Lucas Responding To Prequel Haters

Q. : How worried are you --
that The Critics 
are not going to Like! 
this new movie....?


A. : Not worried at all -- they haven't liked any of them, really.... 
And they especially haven't liked the last two, so.... It can't get any worse.

The PHANTOM MENACE was EIGHTEEN MONTHS ago, Tim...!!




"You are so BLIND!
You so do NOT understand!

You weren't there at 
The Beginning..!!

You don't know how GOOD it was -- How IMPORTANT.

This is IT for you -- 
This jumped-up firework-display of a toy advert.

People Like You make me SICK!!
What's WRONG with you?!?

Now, I don't CARE if you've saved up all your 50p's --
Take your pocket money -- 
and GET OUT!!

(Sobbing)

WHAT a prick.....




Bilbo Bagshot : 
I was like you once -- Blond Hair. 
Scraggy little beard. Child-like ears.
Full of beans, and SPUNK.

I let My Principles get in The Way sometimes —
I punched a bloke in the face once for saying 'Hawk The Slayer' was rubbish.

Tim Bisley : 
Good for you.

Bilbo Bagshot : 
Thanks. But that's not The Point --
The Point is,
I was defending The Fantasy Genre with Terminal Intensity, 
when what I SHOULD have said is,

"Dad, you're RIGHT -- 
But let's give 'Krull' a try, 
and we'll discuss it later."

The PHANTOM MENACE 
was 
EIGHTEEN MONTHS ago, Tim...!!

Tim Bisley : 
I *know*, Bilbo. 
It just... It STILL hurts --
That kid wanted a Jar-Jar doll.

Bilbo Bagshot : 
Kids LIKE Jar-Jar!

Tim Bisley : 
WHY?!?

Bilbo Bagshot :
What about the Ewoks? Huh? 
They were *rubbish*.
You don't complain about them...!!

Tim Bisley :
Jar-Jar Binks makes the Ewoks look like.... 
Fucking.... Shaft!!
