The final scene with the last robot holding the battered old watering can caring for it all and Joan Baez singing.......I'm starting to well up now thinking about it This film is way before its time (global warming, save the planet, recycling etc etc)So much for the ruffty-tuffty biker builder in me eh?~SeVeN~
I think the first sci-fi movie I watched in the cinema that moved me as a youngster was Silent Running (1972) with Bruce Dern, huey duey and louie.Still a classic IMHO and even now can bring a tear to my eye 40 odd years on. ~SeVeN~
ha, ha.ermagerrd. took me a full day to get that.
Leaves?? Those leaves!
I maybe 50 but i don't consider myself a geezer.... yet. LOL
From Wikipedia,Geezer is a term for a man. It can carry either the connotation of age and eccentricity in the UK, or that of self-education such as craftiness or stylishness (not so much). In the US the term often refers to a cranky old man.
From the BBC,Diamond geezer. London slang. Cockney accent usually, I suppose - 'diamond geezer!' 'Geezer!' It's dialect pronunciation in London for a 'guiser' - that's G-U-I-S-E-R - in other words, somebody who puts on a guise, a kind of mummer, if you like, a kind of travelling player. So that's where the word comes from.But the modern usage in London and further afield - a geezer is, well, it means 'he's one of us'. An older person tends to be a geezer. You wouldn't usually call a child or a young man a geezer. It tends to be an older person. A geezer is your mate. It's somebody reliable, solid, a trustworthy person. And 'diamond' in front of it is, well, diamonds of course are wonderful things, they're special things, they're valuable things, so a diamond something, is a very special something. So, a diamond geezer is a reliable person who's really a very special person. So you add all that up, and you get an equivalent in 'he's a good sort', 'he's an OK chap', 'he's a great bloke', 'he's a good feller', 'he's a hero' - these are the glosses for diamond geezer.But because it appeared in a 2005 film staring David Jason, 'Diamond Geezer', there is a touch of the eccentric and the maverick about it. Here, we're talking about a thief who's charming and cheeky and everybody loves him really, he's got a heart of gold, he's a good sort, he's not really a bad guy - he's a diamond geezer.
I can't believe it, but it's true, I'm now an official member of the Fifty-Plus SteamGeezers!I don't feel a day over 29
