Why does Tin-Tin hang around with International Rescue's Alan Tracy? He's a boring, goody two shoes and he lives on an island in the middle of nowhere (although I admit it's got a good beach). But that fella Parker. He's lived! I bet he could show a girl a good time.

It's not "F.A.B.", it's "F A B", abbreviation of "fabulous". |
|
| |
I know all the web sites (official & otherwise) say F.A.B. is either short for fabulous or doesn't really mean anything, but I believe it stands for Federal Agency Bureau. |
|
| |
I came across a Capt. Scarlet annual of the early 70's and I could swear it alluded to Capt. Scarlet's lot (Spectrum?) and International Rescue originally being part of F.A.B. |
|
| |
[I'm wishing I hadn't posted this already.] |
|
| |
I heard the FAB thing from Gerry Anderson on a radio interview. That doesn't mean to say that that was what was originally intended, of course. People have been known to change their minds (or even tell fibs on occassion).
Film-wise, I think Captain Scarlet would make a great film-noir. Secret operative and ruthless immortal killer, obsessed with his own death? What more could you want in a plot line? |

why do ir's cables always snap |

r the brothers going to be gay innthe movie? |

The idea of a Thunderbirds movie has been in "development hell" for something like four or five years now. Every now and again someone will pop up and say "We're going to spend $75 million on a live action version", and then you hear nothing again for several months. |
|
| |
The latest I read was in a short interview with Sylvia Anderson in this month's Empire magazine which says that "Thunderbirds Aren't Go". And I've added a link to the latest information I could find on "Ain't it cool news". |
|
| |
F.A.B. is an acronym for "fully acknowledged broadcast"....geeez |
|
| |
Don't be silly. It's obviously a macho, Top Gun style fly-boy affirmative, short for "Fucking A, Bro'!" |
|
| |

Thunderbirds, although classic, could never be as good as the Cap'n Scarlet - due to the animation style. Gone were the floppy string moments, replaced by cleverly constructed shots where rather than walking, he pivots or bends into shot, and fantastic model sets. I used to find the close ups of real hands operating levers and things completely freaky when I was younger. It really was a genius show, superbly dark and eerie. Gerry Anderson was deeply disturbed in his creativity, as his later live action shows Space 1999 proved - like a Serial Killer trapped producing the Teletubbies... or something... |
|
| |
I find that last remark offensive. you are perfectly correct though danz. |
|
| |
All the Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet characters were never as convincing as Johnny and Jeff Jupiter in Superthunderstingcar. See link. |
|
| |
[po:] Why do you find it offensive... do you produce the teletubbies? |
|
| |
Superthunderstingcar is ace... Dudley Moore really "gets" the Thunderbird style walk (Peter Cook, not so good).. its a travesty that there are only enough bits of episodes of "Not Only... But Also" left to make a couple of full episodes. Its a real loss. |

Sorry, I didn't spot the links up there :o(. |
