Deadpool. What a film!
As opposed to the dead pool...thought initially it was the big Clintvfilm... Heard someone talking about it a few days ago.
My grandkids will likely want to see it as he is masked
having a carry-on night again. Corny but all good fun, and over 50 years on some of them, they still hold up well.... currently have Screaming on.

After a short break back to my Hill Street Blues marathon.
In order to avoid contaminating my purity I have not been watching anything else, for three weeks now.
Nearing the end of Season 6, so only one more to go. Some more 'before they were famous' moments: Tim Robbins crops up as a rookie cop and a very young Andy Garcia appears as a disgruntled gang member.
Neither makes it through their respective episodes.
Also Lawrence Tierney, best known as Joe Cabot from Reservoir Dogs, and an actor famous for not taking any shit from anyone, makes a couple of appearances as the night shift Sargent.
After watching over 100 episodes I'm starting to run out of steam a bit, must confess. It is an all-time great show, though.
After a discussion today I got the urge lol
So it's Jeeves n Wooster series 1

Vikings - Season One (missed most of it first time round) on H2
Watching Pulp Fiction. Managed to avoid this film, but thought I would give it ago. I like some of Quentin's movies but this one just doesn't appeal to me. Everyone rates it so...... we'll see.
Hobson's Choice, adapted from Harold Brighouse's 1915 stage comedy by David Lean in 1954, starring Charles Laughton as Hobson, and John Mills as Will Mossop. John Lawrie has a small role as a doctor, and roles of Hobson's daughters are made up from Brenda De Banzie, Prunella Scales and Daphne Anderson. One of the great films ever made in my opinion.

I have problems with films that make violence 'chic'. Loathed Reservoir Dogs and couldn't be bothered to watch Kill Bill II, but Pulp Fiction does have its moments, and the interweaving story lines are clever.Quote:

Ignore me I'm just getting old
It is cartoon violence - hyper-real. The film knows it is a film.
Yes that sounds really pretentious but I can't think of a better way of putting it. How about: Tarantino makes films for film lovers who are a bit jaded.
My favourite is Jackie Brown which coincidentally has hardly any violence in it.
You might like that one Neil if you haven't seen it already.
yeah, i have that one. was quite good.... he did a law and order type episode too.. may have been csi cant remember...it was typical of his style but it was well done too.Quote:

Dustin Hofmann’s debut role, it looks a little dated now, but it’s a classic skewed view of ’60s middle class America. Cracking sound track by Simon and Garfunkle.

I quiet enjoyed this, even though its way over the top and highly implausible that anyone could do what they do in this film.Quote:

re found where I was last at with this and started watching again. I see outlander season 2 is now available too on Amazon so will catch that too.Quote:

Hope you can Neil. first series was good. My son pays for the Prime as he ikes the free postage etc, and I get the films etc. He could too of course but his internet is really crap. think its the wiring in house tbh. He has sky anyways, and I poach his sky go now too on the ipad lolQuote:

Watching new series of Penny Dreadful - (Sky Atlantic Now) Gothic horror, featuring Frankenstein, Dorian Grey, Victor Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, and others. Took me awhile to get into this, but its a good series with interesting takes on literary, and film horror characters.
Edit
Two more new characters introduced tonight, Dracula and Renfield :)
Yes Grant its showing. I missed half of the first series. I saw the episode after the Garrison Commander and it went to a season break and RTE didn't get it back, or I missed it coming back. I enjoyed what I saw though.Quote:
