    But matching ex-girlfriends to 70s pin-ups I seem to have been influneced quite heavily by

    Catherine Bach - Dukes of Hazzard
    Stephanie Powers - Hart To Hart
    Catherine Schell - Space 1999
    Joanna Lumley - The New Avengers
    Lynda Carter - Wonder Woman
    Victoria Principal - Dallas
    Jodie Foster - 'Candleshoe'

    Not just looks but personality too. Not really sure if weird or normal.

    I admit I did have a bit of a crush on Penelope Keith in "To the Manor Born" when I was about 12...

    Well, finished watching The Pacific last night - it was excellent - harrowing, as all good programs about WW2 should be, I guess.

    Just watched this - it was half way through on BBC1 when I was flicking through the channels last night, so caught up on it this evening on iPlayer.



    Really good, set in the Iraq war following a team of US bomb disposal techs. But I think I am done with war films for a while.

    I should have watched that after watching Looper, instead of watching the film following on Legend called Momentum.

    Momentum is a convoluted film about a sadistic CIA (?) operative tracking down a female Mossad agent who is part of a gang stealing diamonds from a bank vault. The unconvincing ending suggests a possible sequel.

    Yeah that is a good film, I used to have it on blu ray, ended up giving it to Grant.

    Another one worth watching imo if you haven't already, before you take a break from this genre is this:



    Based on a true story, and directed by Clint Eastwood so you know it'll be pretty good.

    Cheers Steve, I can’t remember if I have seen that one but definitely my sort of film. Looks like it is on Sky on Thursday so will give it a go.

    Default David Lynch

    Sad to learn of the passing of David Lynch (20.01.1946 - 16.01.2025)

    Lynch was one of the most imaginative of American directors of recent times. From his debut 'Eraserhead' to 'Mulholland Drive', all his films were of interest, if at times enigmatic.

    He will be greatly missed.

    That is sad. Always liked David Lynch films, even though they rarely made any sense to me. There was a certain beauty to their otherworldly weirdness.

    Straw dogs, been looking for ages on the internet for this one, to stream I mean, which is why I bought the DVD player, gonna watch it tonight, such a classic. Also watched Hoffman last night in Marathon Man, another classic, 70s thrillers really are the creme a la creme of film making for me.

    For me:

    Catherine Shell - yes,
    Joanna Lumley - yes,

    the others; sadly not really.
