Bad memories from childhood. When you have a big brother, and you're like... 6... and there's one TV, you don't wind up with much say about the programs you'll be watching.
Not to mention if you happen to be sitting in his seat or favorite spot on the lounge!

Anyone watching the new Lost In Space?
The first episode didn’t really grab me until the last 10 minutes. So I’ll give another episode or two.
I was never really a fan of the original, in fact I don’t think I ever saw a complete episode back in the day.

Speaking of old B&W films, has any seen the 1937 French film, Grand Illusion ?
It’s being shown here next Monday as part of a classic Monday movies season.

Off-Topic Discussion / Re: Movies I have watched this week
« on: September 10, 2018, 11:05:04 PM »I'm usually not a fan of black and white movies,
I've never understood this statement and it's not the first time I've heard someone say it. Some of the greatest films ever made are in black and white. To not watch a film because it's in B&W is bizarre. Why would anyone deprive themselves of the 1,000's of movies made in B&W. Crikey, I really must be getting old or something.

General Discussion / Re: The Dead Pool & Bird 30 Year Anniversaries
« on: August 27, 2018, 03:35:19 AM »I just saw Harry's antagonist/love interest in The Dead Pool. Patricia Clarkson, in a very different role in a very different kind of movie ... She plays the quintessentially British grande dame in the quintessentially British quirky-folk-in-a-village-by-the-sea movie (directed by a Spaniard, and filmed in Northern Ireland and Catalonia): The Bookshop.
Highly recommended, if you like that sort of thing. And Clarkson's accent is as authentic (to my ears, anyway), and as thick, as clotted cream.
I saw that film a few months ago. I loathed clarkson’s character but she played the part really well.

I always assumed it was Chico who was the volunteer if the priest didn't want to be "the bait". Obviously, Chico had no idea he was the volunteer but when he says, "Yeah I know, Welcome to homicide". It seemed to me, "the bait" would be the rookie.

Not that good...
I didn't mind it. I've watched all five films over the last few weeks. My wife hadn't seen any of them and they were a little "intense" for her. She much prefers rom coms or period pieces.
The films are getting a little stale though. Did anyone else stick around till after the final credits and see that 10 second clip of what we can expect from the next installment. That's a little idiosyncrasy of mine when I see a film in the cinema. I have to wait until that MPAA certificate number comes up before I leave my seat.
3/5.

« on: June 09, 2018, 06:23:49 AM »After 5 years, it looks like this is finally going to get made, but without Clint's involvement.
Warners has sold the rights to Universal.

It took another ten years but the film will finally hit screens later this year.
