When I hear that tune it makes me want to wear a bowler hat and kick someone.



Preferably the person who invented the Stylophone. ;-)

Sorry Dr. K, but that was annoying, redundant and its now stuck in my head. Just when I got rid of Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman's rendition of Little Darlin'



By the way, Where can you buy a Stylophone these days?

...........marvelous...........

*Sniffs* That stylophone has the most beautiful voice...

I'm not going to stand around on false pretences, I stopped watching when you pulled out the stylophone.

Hmmmmmmm.



Morecambe & Wise eat your hearts out!!!



Are you going to do Grieg's piano concerto in A minor with all the right notes in the right order?

The closest thing to heaven is to Rock and Roll .Q guitar solo.

Not to ponit fingers here Marko but are you or are you not a FILM Critic.

he's a film critic be 1

I'm glad to see that in all that mud and oomska you had some good quality rubber boots.

Isn't that the song from "Clockwork Orange"?

Seeing as Mark is still on holiday in The Bermuda Triangle, i've just got back from The Imposter and it's the best film of the year. The Usual Suspects, Inception and The Talented Mr Ripley combined would only amount to 10% of this film. Don't read reviews don't um and err just go see this film.



Mark, if this is what happens when go on holiday, do it more often and record blogs from your sun lounger, but you are missing some cracking films.

God bless you you massive plonker!

What Ross said.

Mr Kermode..this is the my greatest film, and you just tainted it forever, I'll hopefully repay the compliment one day by doing a drum and bass version of Tubular Bells... BTW shame you have not posted a tribute to (Love Him or Loathe Him) Tony Scott. After all is said and done, he entertained far more than his over rated brother. I for one will be counted and say I Loved his movies.

My respect for Bowie just grew in that he was able to figure out a way to use that thing in a musical way, mostly by drowning it out with real instruments. You played it well Mark, but the Stylophone could have been used in the Ludovico conditioning scenes in A Clockwork Orange. Please tell me there is no such thing as a Chromatic Stylophone.

Not since your rendition (on the Stylophone) of 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' have I been so moved. A couple more of these and you'll have a collection of tunes from A Clockwork Orange (as others have noted) in which to form an EP in the least... And if you're taking requests, mine will be for Beethoven's 9th Symphony 4th Movement. Play that one and I will truly do my best, morning and afternoon, to play it your way and sit, like a horrorshow co-operative malchick, in the chair of torture, while you flash nasty bits of ultra-violence on the screen... or... one of your film club selections. They've been pretty brutal, thus far.

Come on my fellow posters, be thankful that at least he didn't break into song!



More terrifying than Mark abusing a Stylophone, is the news this week that Hollywood is to remake David Cronenberg's masterpiece Videodrome as, wait for it, "a large-scale sci-fi action thriller".



I hope this ludicrous and blasphemous idea suffers a swift but painful death in pre-production hell.

Mince

That's my new ringtone sorted then!

Oh Mr Kermode, I am so glad that there is a being on this earth that looks as uncomfortable as myself at an open festival. Alas, I lack the panache to pull off a stylophone segment.

Dear Dr K,



Please go on the next series of Britain's Got Talent! I'm sure it'll do for your reputation what a holiday in Las Vegas has done for Prince Harry's!

That was a heck of a long festival. I seem to recall it started around the second week in July.

Thank you for the Stylophone rendition of "Singin' in the Rain". 23 August was the centenary of the wonderful Gene Kelly's birth.



Even though unwittingly done, it was a rather fitting tribute to that great artist.



Imagine all the great slipping and sliding to be done in that LTF mud.

i love the stylophone!! it is a fitting tribute to 3 of my loves in film, a clockwork orange, gene kelly and the guilty pleasure that is bowie or to elaborate....... labrinth, to qoute him and to give a qoute for any compilation album you may have in the pipeline, 'dance magic, dance' a fine performance if not to most's taste.

My husband ran screaming from the room....I'm just grateful you didn't dance.

Alright, for the encore, Make 'Em Laugh on Theremin.

I was at the Eraserhead screening, It was quite unsettling for me. The theme for me seemed to be Men's fears on raising children. Nice work on the stylophone! :-)
