I've just watched a film called Moonfall. Well, Blimey 'O Rielly, l've seen some batshit crazy films in my time, but this one is by far and away number one. A typical Roland Emmerich mash up. Try and watch it, if you can, and you will probably think like l did and say at the end WTF was that all about.

Watched this earlier today and learned that Bible means Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

If these Evangelical Zionists continue on their crusade we can all kiss our sweet asses goodbye

Taped? Jim Davidson? Decent?

Is it 1982?

Furiosa (Mad Max) - its not the full throttle 100% action film Fury Road was, it starts a bit slower but I quite enjoyed it once it hit its stride.

I do still have an old Beetamax video recorder that still works , I have a few tapes that I record over now and again , I mainly use a digital recorder though , I wonder if the tape machine is worth selling , must be 30 odd year old 😂

A wise purchase by Ron. Back in the day it was the best format but was driven out by monopoly capitalism.

I still have loads of vhs tapes, occasionally dig them out.
My favourite is my wedding video which I play on rewind and ends with me stepping into a Mercedes and reversing up the street into single life.

I have been enjoying Class Act on Netflix , a well done series based on eccentric French businessman Bernard Tapie.

Godzilla minus one, just quietly arrived on Netflix. It’s pretty much a minor masterpiece. Brilliant stuff. Monster action, really interesting thematic stuff, and characters you really get on board with. Plus a whole section that’s a top notch Jaws pastiche.
Give it a watch, you won’t regret it

I intend to watch that.

Anatomy of a Fall is decent, even if it threatened to disappear up its own arse a few times.

Yeah, I saw that earlier in the year. My wife and I had different takes on it, I think she was more trying to work out the mystery, but I think it works better if you go with it as a character study/relationship study.
The performances were great

The Fall Guy film.

Spectacularly awful. Can’t believe how much of a Richard it is. A real steamer.

Finished The Jinx part II yesterday. Worth a viewing but definitely need to watch the original series first - really fascinating.

Mrs Eva Gold forced me to watch a film entitled "Mea Culpa" the other night.

It is the ultimate in cackfests. Do NOT under any circumstances waste 2 hours of your life on it.

Long haul flights the other week meant I polished off S1 and S2 of The Tourist.

S1: liked the story, funny, ticked along nicely, 7.6/10.
S2: turned into dirge from about ep 3 onwards, the good bits of the original idea lost amongst random, poorly done gangland rubbish. If it wasn't for the fact I'd gone through half the series already and we still had about 5 hours of the last flight left, I'd have bailed. 5.1/10.

Tires (Netflix) - randomly watched this after seeing the trailer and delighted I did. Tight 20 minutes episodes and pretty funny throughout - turns out you *can* make jokes these days about all the stuff Jerry Seinfeld says you can't. 8.2/10

Agree season one was good and season two was shocking. The bird who plays his girlfriend is an awful awful actress. I wanted her to die in it so I didn’t have to suffer anymore. And it’s an unrealistic relationship…

S1 Tourist was alright, started a lot better than it finished. S2 was crap.

How To with John Wilson on iplayer is somehow charming, heart warming, strange and interesting whilst properly weird in parts. Loved it.

Also watching some mrs Merton on iplayer. Aherne was so sharp and ahead of her time. We haven’t really got anyone like that now. She’s missed. It really does show you how different things were in the 90s with in terms of sexism especially but also how celebs were happy to throw themselves open to ridicule

I am watching Astrid. My brother put me on to it. Slipped under the radar. Accurate portrayal of autism. I used to bring an autistic boy to Orient. I discovered that when Bueno ran through the line-ups for both teams, the boy absorbed all the numbers instantly. Orient was just right for him. But when we had Spurs at home in the Cup he couldn't hack in the East Stand. The noise scared him.
He mystified us one day by endlessly repeating " Number 75 Leyton Orient". After we dropped him home, the announcer on the radio said " now for the draw for round one of the FA Cup", sure enough number 75 Leyton Orient was drawn at home!
