Just watched “ The tomorrow War “ Staring Mr Guardians of the galaxy “ Chris Pratt... watchable at best has the look of too many films gone by but if you’ve nowt to do for a cpl of hours it’s better than watching Wet paint dry or even putting the Bugger on yourself...
I gave it a try. I really wish I hadn't. Probably the most worthless programme I have seen on TV since the test card.
Currently watching Loki (Disney+) and The Watch (iPlayer) both recommended. The Watch bears little resemblence to the Discworld books. And that is a good thing. I now have a different take on The Night Watch to enjoy rather than an inferior rendition of the source material.
I'm currently watching Sophie: A Murder in West Cork on Netflix. Three episodes in and so far it's a terrible advert for the Garda
There are only three episodes. That's it. Watched it ...impossible to work out if the main suspect is guilty or an arty type loving the limelight or a lunatic. Of course, what country does he come from? Couldn't be a native now. The whole place is full of life's arty oddities. Then there is the chief inspector who denies it but his whole persona really does suggest that he believes that he is a Colombo-style investigator; the star-witness is incredulous....what is she hiding...a secret affair, is her secret beau the real murderer?, the aunt of the victim is another arty type (ghosts & spirits up at the three castles), just like the poor victim. I feel very sorry for the parents who have not gotten over this at all, and the son who has taken a very dignified approach. From what I can tell the weakness for the Garda is that their evidence is provided to the "DPP" who seems to be an overarching single individual whose subjective interpretation of the evidence provided is the final word. The difference in the judicial systems of France & Ireland leaves both looking at complete odds with the other. Still, a gate with blood stains "disappearing" is farcical. But back to the victim, what the hell was she doing in such a remote location while her young child is left behind in France coming up to Christmas? Weird but apparently there is another account of this murder also just out right now on Sky Crime, called Murder at the Cottage
Totally off topic, but does anyone remember "Three Castles" cigarettes? Started me off on my miserable smoking habit when I used to visit my paternal grandfather in Whitley Bay in the summer. Grandad was a pipe smoker, so me smelling of his pipe smoke disguised my hidden habit. No-one up in Northumberland questioned youngsters buying cigs at the local tobacconist - I was only 11!!!
Funny that, as I quite disliked The Watch, partly because it bore no resemblance to Pratchett's Watch and partly because it was totally ****. I'd be amazed if it was renewed for a second season. Loki is watchable though.
Watched the second instalment of “ A Quiet place “ quite enjoyed it wouldn’t be in my 10 best but still a cpl of enjoyable hours-ish…. And I have to say I love the Sweaty look on Emily Blunt.. !!!!!
Finished watching the third episode this morning, it's a very strange story and it seems unlikely that we'll ever know what really happened. By coincidence, my missus (who didn't know I was watching it), told me she'd just recorded a series called Murder At The Cottage, so I'll probably check that out as well (not that it's likely to reveal any more than the Netflix one). I started on 'Room 2806: The Accusation' this morning, the story of the sexual assault accusation against the head of the IMF.
Talking pictures 328 today at 445pm Cup Fever starting Bernard cribbins wirh geirge best and the manu team! Anyone seen it? Don’t think I’ve heard of it. Will give it a nostalgic watch
i reckon even if you hate clarkson his farm is a good watch. get the first episode with too many set up moments out of the way first. and as pointed out before that caleb is a star. he is one of the funniest people ive watched who isnt trying to be funny. his haircuts comment..... i do reckon he is somewhere on the autism spectrum. the older guy is like a modern day stanley unwin.
