Much worse, I don`t speak at all :ROFLMAO:

Years ago we had a tv in the front room, as well as the back room which we live in. She was seeing so little of me, she made me take the tv out of the back room. So what I do now, when she`s watching her mindless pap ( Bake off etc ) is get a book out and read for the duration of her mindless...

Being retired helps, that and having a missus who goes to bed early :ROFLMAO:

Went to see Guillermo del Toro`s reboot of Frankenstein last night. Wonderfully Gothic, with stunning sets and cinematography - as you`d expect from a del Torro. Probably the best Frankenstein film for a very long time. Slightly over long at 2hrs 25 mins, with a standout performance from...

Ballad of a Small Player ( just out on Netflix ). It`s a good film, that could`ve been better, Colin Farrell is fantastic though. He plays a gambling addict, who`s fled the UK, to set himself up as a high roller, in the Chinese Las Vegas, Macau. He gets himself deeper and deeper dept, until...

It`s a bit of a strange read, as it almost reads like a very in depth newspaper article, turned into a book. But still absolutely fascinating to read, especially when they find his camp.

It was a toss up between that and the del Toro version of Frankenstein tomorrow. Frankenstein won, as it just looks like such a visual spectacle and one that should be seen at the cinema. ( I know it comes out on Netflix next week )

The Stranger in the Woods - Michael Finkel. When he was nineteen, Christoper Knight suddenly decided he`d had enough of modern life and went to live off grid as a hermit, in a remote part of Maine, New England. He had a back pack, a cheap tent, a torch and some very basic cooking equipment and...

It`s a strange one, as usually the voice overs in films don`t really add to a film, but with Blade Runner, it just fits perfectly. Apocalypse Now is another one, where the voice over works perfectly too.

Me too, I`ve lost count of how many times it. It`s a film I`ll happily watch over and again and still see something I missed each time I watch it.

Even though the original Blade Runner is 43 years old, it`s still the best sc-fi film of all time and apart from the 80`s hair on the women and the big baggy 80`s suits on some of the men, it hasn`t dated one little bit. Every single bit of of is perfection, the beautiful, vivid and lush...

He`ll be managing West Ham next week.

:ROFLMAO:

They turned it into some kind of macabre theatre, resulting in something that was crass and offensive. It does get better once he`s caught though.

Late Night With the Devil. On tonight on Film4 at 9pm. First time it`s been on tv. If you haven`t seen it, it`s a very effective horror film, albeit filmed in a 70`s style cinematography, but don`t let that put you off one bit.
