What are you watching, or last thing you watched?

Talk about anything in here from the price of tea to the state of the economy!

That's just an easy excuse to ignore people you are supposed to be nice to...

This is a great strategy - they'll saddle up a new horse, riding in the wrong direction, ha ha...

Put on two dvd's yesterday, first the Coen-brothers "The Man who wasn't there" - a great cadeau to film-noir though in color. The whole movie stinks of the 1950'es - B.B. Thornton could very well have been substituted by Bogart, had he still lived!

The second was Luc Besson's "Les aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec" (Adèle and the Secret of the Mummy)
- pardon my French.
Besson is a great movie-maker, and this time he captures the spirit of Tardi, a famous french comic-cartoonist - pardon me, Tardi, A Graphic Novelist...

(... and as a special treat, I put on part 4 and 5 of The Beatles Anthology, which I haven't seen since 2002 and having updated my equipment to 5.1, this is a quit new experience !)

A documentary on TV where they visited Fogo Island, off Newfoundland. There's a village there where the inhabitants are more Irish than we are and speak with accents that sound spookily Irish but with a bit of Canadian thrown in.

the following movies ...(can't find the movie thread) ...

Immortals - crap
Thor - crap
Contagion - ok, but if you've seen Outbreak it's pretty much the same thing.

Probably the most succint reviews I've ever read, but you got a bit wordy about "Contagion".

Meandthem writes an interesting review. For a moment, I thought perhaps the Image was about.

American Horror Story finished last night. This series is one of the most cleverly written and freshest takes on the genre that has emerged in...ever. It was absolutely engrossing from the opening scene of the first episode, through to the final scene of the last episode. Each show stood on it's own, and was always surprising and unnerving. Now it's over, and that is a depressing thought.

I'm about 80 minutes into "Water For Elephants" (it's a 120 min. film) and I'm just blown away. It has to be one of the greatest circus films ever made, right up there with "The Greatest Show On Earth", Irwin Allen's "The Big Circus" and "Freaks"... just amazing.

I used to run in the periphery of Outlaw Biker circles (I joined the Army rather than choosing sides between the Hell's Angels and the Outlaws in the early 80's in Charlotte, N.C.) and I don't like "Sons Of Anarchy": It's *too* accurate, and I feel glorifies aspects of that lifestyle that don't need or deserve either glorification or imitation. I knew several men who died in those gang wars, it was stupid then, and it's stupid now.

A lovely absurd Dutch children's series about a young kid who compairs everything in life with curtains and has a heart condition.
