Hey, I saw that one but on +1.
There would have been something creepy if i had been watching it at the same time. Well in my head anyway.

We more or less have the same taste in shows so there is a high chance that between 4pm-6:30pm (when I’m at my Granddad’s who has the beloved British channels- Irish TV is crap) that we are watching the same things.
We aren’t fancy enough to have any Sky +1 or any of that though (we can’t even record 🙁 ) because we have UPC which gives us like a mixture of 50 or so free-to-air and subscription channels, while the others one (which we’d get from Sky if we had a Sky subscription) are locked (for one great day we had Sky Movies 007 and I swear I watched 5 Bond films that day- good times)

Offline Bond films are always on ITV4.
I got rid of movies. Not paying for movies i dont care about or have never heard of. Generally the only times they put on big film premiers is at special times of the year like Easter and Christmas when the other free channels are often showing decent movies too, just not from last year.

Offline Get an android box……..Every film a few weeks after it’s out……….Every show the next day…….All the sport…….all the music……all the old films going back to the 30s…….Beatles channel………all the Beatles and related to Beatles films. All the old British comedies. All the new ones. Youtube and internet all on my 51 inch screen.

Offline HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver combines the best of British humor with severe condemnation of various problems in the world, from FIFA’s corruption to food waste to mandatory minimum sentencing (since many of the harsh War on Drugs mandatory minimums have been repealed, there are people who have been in jail for 30 years doing life for a crime which had they committed it 10 years later would only have carried a 10 year sentence). One guy is doing 55 years for (I think) possession of 3 oz of meth. That’s the same sentence that an airline highjacker terrorist child rapist would receive (24 for highjacking, 20 for terrorist, 11 for child rape – if I remember right).
Most of his segments are on youtube, if you have a chance check him out, he’s usually really good. Here’s the one on mandatory minimum sentencing:

They’re on Irish TV as well, every Sunday evening (funnily enough, ‘Live And Let Die ‘ is on tomorrow).
I think it was just the joy of getting a movie channel that wasn’t Film 4 or MGM that made me happy.

If you leave towns and cities behind you’ll find things like fields and cows and goats and rivers and roads you cant go 20mph down exist. I’m out there. I’ll take the quiet and fresh air over a Tesco extra.

Speaking of Bond movies, my dvr picked up Casino Royale (1967) last week. Perhaps because they reused the title in a real 2006 Bond film, I was thinking it was serious even though it didn’t list one of the usual Bonds in the cast list. It had a long list of stars, including David Niven, Deborah Kerr, Orson Welles, Peter Sellers, Woody Allen, Ursula Andress (who played a Bond beauty in one of the real ones), William Holden, Charles Boyer, John Huston, George Raft, Tracy Crisp, Jacqueline Bisset, and Peter O’Toole. It was a slapstick spoof of Bond movies, and the writing wasn’t the greatest imo but the stellar cast made the movie well worth watching. After modern music, classic movies are my passion as far as entertainment media goes.

Absolutely brilliant shows, especially if you have had much to do with Westminster-based parliamentary and public(civil) service bureacracy. The books based on the shows are pretty good reading as well.

I actually bought one of the books (I’d say Volume 2 if I had to) while on vacation recently – very good read so far.

Offline Both ‘Yes minister’ and ‘Yes, Prime Minister’ are excellent. Intelligent but hilarious comedy and BBC2 have been showing repeats over the last couple of weeks. Not read the books but will try to find them cheap as after ‘Tune In’ is finished a change of theme would be ideal.
Sadly they rebooted the series a few years back and it has to go down as one of the worst comedies ever made due to how good the original was. It was everything the first wasn’t.

Offline I attended some uni lectures two years ago when I was seeing if I’d like to do commerce in college. The economics lecturer was addicted to showing ‘Yes Minister’ clips to prove his point on things, I’m still not quite sure why…

Really? I didn’t mind the reboot, actually. They were on YouTube for a while – I quite enjoyed them.
