What are you watching now?

[MC Prussian]

That's the way TV comedy should be done - classy dialogue and all:

R.I.P. Jack Klugman.

[Rincewind]

Dorian Gray. Not bad. Not sure if it's exactly like the novel but the concept is seill there. Oscar Wildes only novel.

[Rincewind]

Mission Impossible II. I find it funny how there are two chasing each other on motorbikes at high speed. One fires a gun sideways backwards and the one behind moves to one side. How did he know the shot would have hit him?

MI III is on after.

[ithuriel]

Only MI movie i like is the fourth one, Ghost Protocol.

[Rincewind]

Only saw the last hour of III. Mainly car chasing and explosions. Previewing films next week and MI II is on again. Film Four show the same films all the time.

[FoxesAreBlue]

Just watching something with David Jason and he still makes me laugh. It will be a sad, sad day when he earns somebody some Deathlist Points.

[The Year Of The Fox]

Only saw the last hour of III. Mainly car chasing and explosions. Previewing films next week and MI II is on again. Film Four show the same films all the time.

Did you watch the first one earlier？at one point when Ethan is alone in a flat in London there's radio on in the background. The presenter mentions man utd, then forest then a Leicester city result. Famous !or what？!

Anyone else noticed this before or am i just sad？i rewound it to double check as well

[ithuriel]

Two good movies on Film4 later, Trainspotting and then Audition.

Audition is a slow burning Japanese Horror in the tradition of movies like Old Boy, the cheesewire bits

Used to have them on DVD, Tartan Asia Extreme brand.

Later on there is a film/TV Film of Bag Of Bones which was written by Stephen King. Pierce Brosman is in it. Being Stephen King he draws on his own life for the storyline. It is about a writer who's wife is killed in a car accident. Stephen King himself was injured by a car hitting him near to where he lives and a few of his stories feature writers.

I thought Bag Of Bones was a collection of short stories though. Thought I had it somewhe but not sure If I have read it. I am part way through two other books of his.

Lord of the rings on cannel 4 just about getting to the battle scene. Channel 4's film selection just recently has been spot on!

Not really, lord of the rings is on.

[Rincewind]

I have LotR on DVD so can watch iyt anytime without the ads.Didnt realise it was on so missed a lot of it so not bothered. I once watched all three in one go when at work. It was a 12 hour shift so just about got through them. Could have been shorter maybe but I believe they already took large chunks out of them so they were near the limit with the length without reducing the quality.

[Trav Le Bleu]

Oh, they reduced the quality alright, but not as badly as The Hobbit.

[Rincewind]

I've turned the light off and just have a lamp on for Bag Of Bones. Think it is just an extra long TV film. A ghost story.

WHY IS EVERYONE ON THE CRYSTAL MAZE SO STUPID?????????

[BoneDog]

If I was on a team and witnessed one of the dozy fools, I'd open the hatch and say "you're staying in there mate.....NEXT", and stride off.

[Rincewind]

WHY IS EVERYONE ON THE CRYSTAL MAZE SO STUPID?????????

WHY IS EVERYONE ON THE CRYSTAL MAZE SO STUPID?????????

Because it entertains the masses watching it and tune in each time to see if the next lot are as stupid. Which they are.

[ithuriel]

Perhaps the poeple who put themselves up for that are not as bright as they imagine.

I doubt the masses watch the Crystal Maze anyway, which i did not realise was back on after all these years :xmasunsure:

Richard O'Brien still doing the honours?

Used to watch it a few years back. If they are on a digital channel I would imagine they are reruns.

Watched some of the movie last night...terrible.

[Rincewind]

Yes not as good as I had hoped as I like Stephen King. Bit drawn out and silly in parts. I imagine the book is better.

[ithuriel]

Arrietty, as usual with Ghibli, the artwork is superb and the dub is fantastic, based on 'The Borrowers'.

Film4.

[Rincewind]

Just put it on. Flicking channels.
