Watching Post

[eloquent]

If you're in the habit of watching TV or films or anything else while you post, tell us here. Though in the interests of good taste, there is one exception which I hope will be obvious enough for me not to mention .

By this I of course mean East Enders...


I'm watching my Donnie Darko DVD as it happens (not really 'as it happens'... it gave me the idea).

[Townie]

Peter Kay Live from Bolton Albert Halls V. Funny If you like that sort of thing. NB Don't think he's cracked it in the States yet

[Tomsy]

Footie!

[Will]

Foxy!


Sorry, misheard you.

[Qu Klaani]

Groovy fox.



Seems somehow familiar.

[Will]

Yes, veery familiar. He looks ready for action in this one:

[Huginn]

Stargate SG-1, "Touchstone." Not a bad episode, but there are better ones.

[Brutillus]

what else but downloaded episodes of the Chappelle show...

[Huginn]

Pardon the Interruption now. Something about the Hornets and Floyd...

[Enitharmon]

Not watching them as I write, obviously, but I just treated myself to four new DVDs - well, not new, DVDs of some of the best films ever made that I've seen before. They are

La Sirène du Mississippi (billed as MIssissippi Mermaid for no good reason I can think of) - François Truffaut (1969): Jean-Paul Belmondo, Catherine Deneuve

Brief Encounter - David Lean (1945): Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard

The Long Good Friday - John Mackenzie (1981): Bob Hoskins, Helen Mirren

Rosemary's Baby - Roman Polanski (1968): Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes

Very much looking forward to being kept out of mischief by this lot!

Just watched a mind-numbing cartoon.

Rosemary's Baby *shudders*

I don't do scary movies, I end up getting nighmares... and once after watching a scary movie the night before work (forgetting that I had to walk to work, in the dark, through an isolated stretch of trail through a bunch of trees, conveniently forgetting that it had been nicknamed the rape trail...) erm, kinda lost my train of thought, um, I'll make it short--I ran like mad to work that morning thinking all the time that I was being followed, and wondering if anyone would be able to hear me if I screamed.

[Melancholy Man]

Does this count? Having just returned from a preformance of Uncle Varrick; Uncle Vanya set in 1964 Sutherland, with Brian Cox.

I feel llike Varrick.

[All_That_Jazz]

But Rosemary's Baby isnt't really that scary, just...creepy.

[Enitharmon]

Rosemary's Baby is beautifully done. It's so powerful precisely because it's so low-key, and doesn't risk falliing over into kitsch.

Those wonderful Roger Corman films from the 1950s, are great but they're not scary, just delightful over-the-top camp!


I'm surprised Mel hasn't reacted to Helen Mirren in TLGF!

[Melancholy Man]

I'm surprised Mel hasn't reacted to Helen Mirren in TLGF!

I was speachless. If only I'd kept the issue of the Radio Times celebrating her 50th; the pre Calendr Girls nudie one.

[Enitharmon]

Here ya go!

[eloquent]

A load of stupid white people trying to sing "praise Jesus" type soul music (with the aid of synthesizers). The wonders of Sunday morning TV...


Edit = Screw it, I'd rather watch Hollyoaks than this...

[Rueful Rabbit]

Just watched a DVD of Memento, Chistopher Nolan's superb film. One of the special features on the disk, although a bit hard to find, is a version of the film with all the scenes played in the correct chronological order.

[Lalura]

Screw it, I'd rather watch Hollyoaks than this...

Wow, must be bad.

[Huginn]

MLB, Braves vs. Astros. 1-1, Bottom 6th, Braves with men on 1st & 2nd with 2 out...
