What I'm watching (Part 1)

I saw them in Hammersmith 85 or 86. Certainly after RS&TL came out, but before FTONY

They were spectacularly good around 85-87. They always played three dates at the Barrowlands just before Xmas which were mental.

Did you go to the St Patricks day gig in 86 at the Hammersmith Palais Kev ? A load of us headed up from Brighton were we were working at the time.

I ended up talking drunken pish to Elvis Costello on the balcony - he must have thought I was a total roaster. :rofl:

Thinking about I am pretty sure it was the Hammersmith Odeon, I saw a lot of gigs there.
I ‘played’ the Hammersmith Palais myself in the 70s but that is a very different story :rofl:

You’re right - by the time we got to the gig I had sobered up and was about to get drunk again :grinning:

Me and the boss quite enjoyed it. We’ve now got all the books too :roll_eyes:

Watched Catch Me If You Can again yesterday. What a rather wonderful and underrated film that is.

Don’t bother. A concept with great potential, but wasted. Basically just a gore-fest.

Me too. It’s a favourite here. Great story, my daughter loves that he ended up becoming very successful.

Excellent. I have no idea about the historical accuracy, and frankly don’t give a toss :smiley:

We watched Withnail & I again for the first time in maybe 25 years. Another corker. Some tremendous dialogue.

Amazing effort by Richard E Grant considering it was his first film role.

After the Abattoir Alehouse last night, which was very good, I was swiftly brought down to earth by watching this POS

Protip: Watch Ad Astra first. Everything else will seem like a work of genius afterwards.

One of Mr Cruise’s better films too believe it or not. (Tropic Thunder being the best)
