Is there anything even half as good as Moviedrome on the box nowadays?
I first saw it in the late 70s - stayed-up late with my dad to watch it, probably the first time it was shown on the telly - was completely blown-away by the whole thing, and that sort of a thing stays with you 
Lee’s favourite role, apparently.
Just got notification Slow Horses season 3 is out on Apple.
Best renew that subscription then.
Beau is afraid…
…wtf is it about?
Wanted summat mindless while I wrecked a Chinese takeaway, so with zero further consideration I banged on something called ‘Invasion Planet Earth’ on FreeVee.
I never thought I’d see anything worse than Halle Berry’s ‘Catwoman’. Naturally, and as always, I was wrong. This British-made clown-car of cheap, humourless, badly-acted, clunky and pointless science fiction is so heroically bad it’s an achievement.
It is a great big steaming, stinking mound of fœtid Rong™ - it is All of the Stupid and All of the Lame - All of the time. Without meaning to, it recalls the sort bleak, apocalyptic and empty (but oh-so-serious and worthy) 1970s low-budget scifi, but with SFX that make Blake’s 7 look upmarket…
Astoundingly, it took TEN years to make, less astoundingly the whole thing was crowdfunded. Apparently there is a follow-up underway - in all probability I’ll have died of old age before it’s ever released, and I must say death got a little, tiny bit less daunting when I realised that.
If you like saying things like “Oh come ON!” and “For fuck sake!” very, very often, and very, very loudly - if you believe mankind was put on this Earth to suffer for three-score-years-and-ten and then drop gratefully into the grave, if you hate fun, despise pleasure and loathe joy, you will fucking love this.
I stuck it out to the very end.
It was interesting and enjoyable to watch the trilogy again after so long - surprisingly I now think For A Few Dollars More is the best of the three.
No Direction Home on bbc2 tonight. For the second or third time now. He might be a bit of a cunt but fuck me if we see another lyricist of that calibre again in our lifetimes we’ll be lucky. He’s undoubtedly up there with Burns, Shakespeare and any other you’d care to quote.
Had no idea Princess Di knew kung fu! 
That cave scene!
Looking forward to this (Apr 2024). Sunk sooooo many hours into F4.
Looks good that
I didn’t know Fallout was coming. Hyped for that.
On another note, just started Slow Horses season 3. Good so far (Oldman looks even more disgusting this time out).
Me too!
Hopefully I’ll recognise a few of the locals 
Thankfully only in the radio version
