What have you been watching?

I do have to agree about it becoming lame as the last show, though still good but I thought what was the purpose of the almost 'blood-bath' between the group and those former Hospital workers.

Looking forward to tonights episode.

Strange for me though, I hate the other series AMC has-breaking bad and I forget what the other is called?

 

The French Connection & The French Connection II

 

Currently, High Plains Drifter, Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity, and im about to watch Jeff Dunham: Arguing With Myself and Joe Kidd.

 

Saw A Very long Engagement with Audrey Tatou and Jodie Foster last night. Good movie set in WW1.

 

I watched "Beautiful Girls" the other night, and several times in the last month or so. It really is a well made movie, full of noticeable faces when they were younger. This movie came out sometime in the mid to late 90s, and if made today, they'd never be able to afford all those actors now. I'll watch it again for sure. I give it two thumbs up (it's all I have)!

Also, last night I watched the first "Revenge of the Nerds" for the umpteenth time. It's been about 15 years since I last saw it, and I forgot how good it was.

 

This morning a document on East Prussia during Hitler´s period, later tonight the latest film on Tali Ihantala battle summer 1944. Tomorrow it´s Finnish Independence Day so we´ll see the legendary Finnish WW2 film " Unknown soldier" again...

 

Dammit, I missed the first eopisode of The walking Daed yesterday. AMC had all shows on back-to-back but, i missed it because I got inti a fight at the library yesterday. Anyway, its soon to be on DvD.

 

Why would you fight in the library? That's like farting in church. You just don't do stuff like that.

 

Several documents on Finnish telly last night: One on the last living Finnish fighter pilots telling about their pilot career in WW2. Then two documents on Swedish volunteers 1. During Winter war 2. During continuation war (1941-44 ) and especially fighting in the Hanko region.

The Swedish volunteers had a pretty tough slogan about fighting the war " Never forget, never forgive!"

 

I've just been watching 'Theirs was the Glory' a documentary about the Battle of Arnhem which was shot with members of 1st British Airborne Division who were actually participants in the battle. It tells the story of the battle at the bridge and the subsequent actions around the Oosterbeek perimeter, right through to the withdrawal of the Division across the Lower Rhine. A very, very good video this.

 

Its a long story but, I signed up for a computer and some homeless drunk came in and tried to sit in my chair with me in it. He grabbed my jacket and I said let it go or you'll regret it. He grabbed my jacket-I grabbed his, pushed him away-in the process, he fell onto another nearby chair with some black guy sitting at it. As I was getting to my feet and was going to escort the bum to the door, the black guy pushed him away and he stumbled into me-grabbing hold of my jacket again and then he wound up face first on the floor after I spun him arround and grabbed and ripped his right arm behind his back. I slammed my knee into his back and held him to the floor till the Cops arrived.

 

good film..

 

Hi Ray, strange enough, TCM or some station played that recently. I only got to see a few minutes of it and it looked like an OK film.

 

it is carl, and a gene kelly WWII film tomorrow..

 

Hi Ray and thanks. Also, what is the name of the Gene Kelly War Movie? I THINK I saw part of one with him in it sometime ago.

 

The Cross of Lorraine

 

Ahh, I havent seen that one yet ;-))

 

Oh well, that's a horse of a different color then. What I pictured in my mind was two kids fighting over the latest copy of National Geographic (with the topless native women from Tahiti), that sort of thing....

 

Heh heh, at least they are fighting over something worth the effort ;-))
