Indeed, although the recent ITV remake as a 6 part drama wasnât terrible either.

Been watching the first 6 episodes of series 1 of Bookie. Pretty good.
Fillet steak, 3Xcooked chips, mushroom sauce, roasted veg, couple of bottles of excellent red and this -
Which was an absolute hoot! Annoyed I didnât see it at the flicks TBH.

At a glance this looked to be a very pleasant affair. Then you sabotaged din dins with liquified fungus. Have you lost your bearings man?
Oh dear, my perception of you as a fellow Patron Of The Visceral Arts just took a hefty blow. Shroomingtons in their many and various forms are entry-level gastronomy. A good steak without them is a crime.
Next youâll be telling me you like your steaks well-done⌠

Godzilla Minus One
I took young Harry along to this not really knowing anything about it & thinking it was a further extension of the Hollywood made Godzilla/Kong franchise.
I was pleased to realise that it wasnât and that it was actually a Japanese made film with subtitles.
Set initially at the tail end of ww2 as the Japanese are realising theyâve lost the war and then on through the post war years as their country begins to recover.
A decent story, some good special effects, plenty of melodramatic Japanman behaviour all made it a cut above the typical Hollywood offerings on the same theme.
If I recall, might be wrong, the Godzilla story came from postwar Japan. Iâm not quite sure what the allegory of this threatening monster they dreamt up was really inspired by but there obviously are hints of a fear of nuclear weapons, weapon testing, and of the US and the Soviets in post war Japan.
Anyhow an entertaining couple of hours if you donât mind a foreign language film. Harry doesnât read so I was relaying what the subtitles said but it wasnât an issue as there were only two other people in the quite large auditorium.
Soundtrack also really good.

Itâs not hints, in the 1954 film Godzilla is awakened/mutated by nuclear bomb tests.
There are references to the Bikini Atoll testing in this one. Itâs what the actual monster represented to them that interested me.
Nuclear holocaust, thatâs always been the intention and the original creators have been clear about it.
Saw the new one on Saturday, it was amazing 
but Iâve watched many of the originals.

Producer Tomoyuki Tanakastated, âThe theme of the film, from the beginning, was the terror of the bomb. Mankind had created the bomb, and now nature was going to take revenge on mankind.â
