What Films/TV Have you Watched Recently?

Watching loads of Seinfeld. Mostly series 2. The Chinese Restaurant episode is a stone cold classic.

God Elaine was tasty.

Saw GoldenEye again earlier, and I still say it's the better one out of all the Brosnan Bond movies.

Yeah, it is probably Bosman's best Bond film. Did a very good job of bringing the films back after the cold war era and making them relevant. The film has some decent set pieces(bungee jump, tank chase, fight in the sauna, the escapes from the helicopter and train, the scene with Boris and the pen, fight on the radio telescope). Plus, unlike Quantum of Sh1t it has a coherent plot. Decent baddies as well and supporting characters. It also got turned into a decent video game - but that is another story.

Last night I caught up with more 'Grimm'. I think there is going to be a big reveal at the end of the season.

I then watched more of 'Justified'. Plus, more of 'The Good Wife'.

On the subject of Brosnan Bond films, which is the one with absolutely diabolical special effects? Iirc it may have some sort of surfing scene in it. But I honestly couldnt believe it was actually from the 90's when I saw it.

Die Another Day. It also featured an invisible car and Madonna! That is all you need to know about that film! It was released in 2002.

I watched some 'Hit and Miss'. It is the new drama on Sky. Hmm, quite unusual. About a transsexual hitwoman and her adopted family. I'll give it a watch, but it hasn't entertained me that much.

I then watched more of 'Prisoners of War'. The Israeli TV drama on which 'Homeland' was adapted from. Decent enough. With this version, you see the second prisoner's life more. It also isn't as flashy edited and the Secret Service agents lives are not as much in the programme.

I actually went to the cinema to watch that, and I thought it was pretty good at the time. I still do, but it is the weakest of the Brosnan Bonds, with awful CGI, and a plot that's been ripped from Diamonds Are Forever wholesale.

Watched Hobo with a Shotgun this morning, what a crazy film - well worth a watch

Well, the first half of the film has some decent stuff(Bond getting captured and tortured, his release and escape, his escapades in Havana, etc.), the second half feels like they decided to throw everything into the pot. It comes off as a bit of a mess. I think Brosman said that he thought the first half was very good, but the second half he was less pleased with.

Last night, I watched 'The Trouble With Harry' by Hitchcock. It is one of his lesser known films. It is sort of a black comedy. Not one of his best.

I then watched the original black and white 'Scarface'. Hmmm, I think I prefer the Pacino/De Palma version. The original was missing some atmosphere and excitement.

I saw it at the cinema too. It was one of those films where I enjoyed it at the time but looking back now it isn't that amazing. Not awful but nothing I'd go out of my way to re-watch. I think they had the villain's Jag (or one of them anyway - I'm assuming they have multiple examples on the set) in the Coventry Transport Museum last time I went. The green XK with a minigun in the boot

I've gone off Bond films in general though to be honest. Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough are okay but the older ones can sometimes be a bit too cheesy to watch these days and the Daniel Craig films feel too different to be true Bond films. I dunno...I don't hate them, I just don't enjoy them like I used to.

Ended up watching Eurovision for some insane reason last night and what a load of sh!t. The usual political voting and false-looking grins were out in force and I feel sorry for our entry who was already doomed to get such a terrible score.

The only reason to watch is to check out the international totty representing the other European countries/announcing the results from their country but even that isn't worth sitting through several hours worth of utter bilge for.

Had an awesome night last night, all the friends around watching Eurovision

People always moan about political voting, yet those same people expect to get full points from Ireland & Malta. Pot Kettle?

It wasn't as good as it has been in previous years but seeing Mr Lordi announce Finlands result? That was hysterical

[Megamixer]

Well I don't personally. I see no reason why Malta of all places would give us full points even if they have in the past. It's just very predictable how all the Eastern European countries vote for their neighbours or Russia. Just a bit pointless how it's supposed to be a music contest yet hardly any of the voting is based on music. All it does is highlight how much of Europe dislikes the UK for some reason

I suppose it's a bit of a laugh if not taken seriously though.

Even by that logic though, does anyone stop to consider that Serbia & Moldova's music tastes may not be identical to ours? Just because something on screen sounds crap to us doesn't mean it's not chart topping in other countries, imagine what a Russian would think of dappy

Still, I think from the get-go the UK were out to lose it this year. Hosting the Olypmics (yawn) AND Eurovision next year? NHS meals would be replaced with bread and water to make up the cost!

Terrible movie, avoid. Worst film I've seen in a long time and I watched Kentucky Fried Movie yesterday!
