TV and Film

I'm curious too.

Last night too tired to concentrate and too early for bed I watched a rom com Christmas film called Last Christmas, set in London with a girl working in a Christmas shop and a handsome stranger..Plus Emma Thompson as the overbearing Croatian mother

All set to the soundtrack of George Michael /Wham.

If you like George its a nice singalong. If you dont then really dont bother the film is just a time filler..

I didn't know that at all. Things are easily hidden from the public.

Yes, I wonder how johnny depp's career will develop......


Edit.. I find woody allen creepy..

I like the last one with Steve Martin and Beyonce. What a riot!

The Expanse has returned, but only 3 episodes were released at once. We will be watching the third tonight. It's still good 5 seasons in.

Has anyone noticed that Jaws has become a Christmas movie? Well at least it is on some channel every year around Christmas.

I no longer choose to watch jaws, but if I turn the telly on, and it is on, I will watch it.

It's real toss up as to which kid was the cutest between you and Karen. 

I have been watching and enjoying, but in an uncomfortable way, Great Canal Journeys.

It is 3 series of two elderly actors going along the canals of the UK and France.

He, Timothy West, is an actor, he is full compus mentos, but elderly and not very fif
She, his wife, Prunella Scales is a comedy actress, she was Sybil in Fawlty Towers. She is also elderly, but fit. She is also early dementia.

It is really interesting.

This is a full episode. Check out the comments. They are really accurate.

I would love to know there will never be another 'buy a house at auction, fix it, and re-sell it' tv prog.

They are more watchable, but that's the problem. They suck you in, when you are not wanting to watch tv.

There's one over here you would like. It's called Grand Designs. It is all about different, and spectacular self builds.

I used to enjoy big brother, both versions. But they eased off on the celebs, and it became mostly another self indulgent celebrity show. Then they spent too much time interfering with the ordinary people setting them up.

When it was less contrived it was a lot better.

The celebs were particularly interesting as they didn't actually know who they were. Were they their public persona, or themselves? Or somewhere in between?

So many of them fell flat on their faces. 

The PBS "NOVA" program has a new series (to me anyway) "The Planets". Really quite good.

Most importantly it reveals in some detail current theories on how the planets have evolved and what changes are likely to occur in the far distant future.

Shocking, not one mention of man-made global whatever...BRAVO!
