New Borat movie was ok but not great. Roadkill didn't hold my attention, so I'm a bit flat on stuff to watch.

Oh, went all arty and started Keiślowski's Dekalog, not sure if I said, not bad, bit deep.

Got the BluRay version of I.D. (Smell Old Bill I can smell it here I don't) but doesn't look any different than the DVD rip I had. And how did the landlord played by Warren Clarke get a Landlord's licence? Still the best footy hooly film ever made you facking nonces.

Waiting for the BluRay of The Family Way, no sign of it yet and I'm not paying for it cos I already have the DVD, by my twisted logic that entitles me to torrent it.

Could you repeat that in English please. That’s English, not Boltonianbollocks. Thank you. :D

watched borat last night, usual thing, im not convinced on it, just seems all staged in most parts, those 2 hillbilly dudes surely could'nt be that dumb, "hillary clinton drinks blood" wtf, guliani was also set up, led on and cleverly edited, cringy bit was the dancing period bit

If you are interested in chess or even if you aren’t, the Queen’s Gambit on Netflix’s. Very very good

I am a lifelong chess player (and published chess-author for my sins), and I thought it was brilliant. My wife barely knows how the horsey moves, and she absolutely loved it too...

Watched Groundhog day AGAIN, mrs mlc hadn't watched it so on it went. Still funny.

Also watched Die Hard 2, still a $hit film with big holes in the plot and credibility. How many controller in the tower, how did two people (John McLane and the Reporter) manage to get up there. Why is everyone shouting in the VCR when its should be a place of serinity. Why didn't all the aircraft divert immediately. How did the terrorists take over the airport and managed to get the 'alternate systems ' up in half an hour. Why was the terrorist using a welder to 'krone' in comms cables. Why didn't other people challenge the terrorists in the baggage bay area. Why didn't the Tower have a set of Emergency radios in the tower, probably madated by the FAA similiar to CAA's CAP670 COM02. Turning the GP down by 200 feet is an impossibility, angle yes but origin no. Why is there a man hole cover in the middle of the runway, all manhole covers in the vicinity have to tak ethe waight of a 747 nose wheel and therefore very heavy, yet McLAne lifted it. Ejection seat in a cargo plane. Why did aircraft explode from the middle of the fuselage, fuel in in the wings.

I could go on

Try the new series on Netflix called 'Pine Gap'..its all secret squirrel stuff. A gripping series. By the way thanks to the ' Pine Hill' series, I hadn't realised that the UK have a joint intelligence gathering / listening centre with the US intelligence services based at RAF Menwith Hill, near Harrogate. One of only 3 intelligence gathering centres in the Western world.
If you like the series ' Homeland' then you will really like this.

I'm enjoying a Canadian series called 'Corner Gas'. Very dry, silly humour, that grows on you after about 20 minutes. On Amazon Prime (spit), but here is a taster:
