Sorry BB that's a bit deep for me.[/QUOTE] I'm sure if I'd made the comment it would have been viewed as shallow.
Anyone like me who has been watching the Walking Dead will know what to expect if this crisis goes nuclear I would hope though that various groups would help each other rather than kill each other
watched "In which we serve" Noel Cowards WW2 film, a tad drawn out but a thoughtful comment on how war affects individuals and families and the bravery of those who fought. very British!
Great film. Off the top of my head, wasn’t it based on Louis Mountbatten, an ‘acquaintance’ of Coward?
last nights film was The Homesman, realised we had seen it before but worth a second watch. Hilary Swank (I think I may have changed my name ) and Tommy Lee Jones were excellent. People struggling to farm in appalling conditions, religion dominating peoples thinking, but some folk trying to be decent. Just remembered we have box sets of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings in the cupboard unfinished.
Being a bit of a fan of police shows, I've just finished re-watching the three series of Hinterland - set in the wild and woolly north of Wales. It's funny how the sun never seems to shine there - I got the same impression from watching Hidden a while back. Am also part way through another police show called Bordertown. Set in Finland, but dubbed (badly) in American English - I'd much rather English subtitles - the main character is a detective who appears to be somewhere on the autism spectrum. It's 'different', but watchable...
We are lining up the another scandinavian drama tonight.... another 8 episodes of slow talk in subtitles........ not sure if i can bear it... but mme assures me I enjoy it... mmmmm
It's a weird one. Not one that can be discussed without ruining the plot. Just a cast of four: Chris Pratt, Michael Sheen, Jennifer Lawrence, Laurence Fishburne. Poses quite the moral dilemma, or not, as you'll see. I enjoyed the film overall.
It was 2 in the morning and I was watching a documentary about the history of the blues on BBC 4 In the meantime...
I have subtitles on all the time because I am partially deaf and most programmes have the speech drowned out by special effects/music or it's Americans mumbling quietly in what they call American English.
I hate that too - not necessarily the American English, but the way male actors seem to have all been instructed to whisper breathlessly. John Wayne would turn in his grave...
