My guess is that you won't find many sites like this around the net that is done to this quality. As you say 'ulla123', the book is just so cool, well it's sub zero. I certainly learn't many new things from going through those pages. My particualr favourite is how they hooked Richard Burton. Fancy walking into his dressing room and finding a copy of the book in there that he was reading at the time.
The 'Features' section is also a cracker of an area with some nice interviews, R&D clips and an excellent documentary too.
The 'Messageboard' I see is starting to get full and I see we have many regular names on there from other 'Worlds' sites from around the net.

Nice site and great to see it at last but I'm having problems with certain pages loading and that Macromedia flash thing is one of my pet hates.

Cool site, I liked how they had all the pictures I wanted to see in one convenient gallery, not having to search for all my things. Top notch guys.

[glow=purple,2,300]I must say, the clips on that documentary in the features section blew me away! Shame it was really blocky, but even in such lo-res it was damn impressive!
The FMs stomping over the fields, stalking over town with the beam of a warships searchlight, the handling machines in the street and clambering up the sides of buildings (is this the fabled BlueMonkey clip?), but the crowning glory for me was the sight of the FM rising out of the sea - just jaw-droppingly beautiful!!
The whole site is just so amazing! It was well worth the wait...but there's just one thing missing - the WOTW media player skin! I saw it playing a WOTW clip in the documentary - will the site have a downloads section soon?[/glow]

HTT, yes your right. The moving footage you saw is the fabled BLUE MONKEY short.

It's great to see the Blue Monkey fotage finally getting an airing. If the movie is anywhere near as good as that (and a few years on it should be better!) we are in for a real treat!

I have a problem with the new site. If I try and re-login it doesn't recognise my password. I go to the bit where it asks your secret question to get your password ... and it asks me someone else's secret question.
Mine was "Mothers Maiden name", and I got asked "Daughters name" ... I don't have a daughter :/
Can someone log out and see if it lets them log in again?
It seems to have my profile and someone else's mixed up.
