Re: What are you watching tonight?
Got to finish watching Memento. A very good film, ingeniously put together. Certainly not something to watch with any form of distraction going on whatsoever.
Might watch it again as I'm sure that there'll be loads of little details that I didn't pick up on.

that phone call really didn't pan out as he intended!! nor did Jessie's escape!
Everything that made the whole series great has been ruined by the writers desperate need to come up with a story conclusion.
And nailed on, the finale will be utter shite.
There I've said it.
I mean it though, Season 5's turned into a pure nonsensical parody of itself.
I suspect I'm not the only one to think this but it's entered into the Emperor's New Clothes territory now. Still, Seasons 1-4 were some of the best telly I've ever seen.

Fairy nuff.
Suffice to say I wouldn't be surprised if the writers ended it with it all being just Hank's dream or with an alien abduction or they discover a shark living in Walt's pool and he decides to jump over it on water-skis.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Honestly I though you're genuinely the first person who I've come across who has this opinion. Before the last few weeks, BB was considered by many people as amongst the best TV shows ever, but after these last few episodes, it's now considered by a lot of people to be the best ever.
The writers have nailed it.

It's not just me, a google search reveals loads of unhappy punters.
Anyway who cares what I think; I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Bought two DVD's to watch. A historical drama, Henry of Navarre and The Way with Martin Sheen. Looking forward to the latter particualrly as it's about the pilgrims route to Santiago de Compostela.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Watched and enjoyed The Way. A gentle film of self discovery amongst four people making the pilgrimage across the Pyernees to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain. Martin Sheen plays the main character and Emilio Estavez directs. The religious aspects, whilst there, are totally played down in favour of the quartet's personal stories.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
I gave it up after an hour of tedium... Though I did like the opening scene - with the psychiatrist played by Wanderers fan Romy Baskerville in what turned out to be her last film appearance.TANGODANCER wrote:Watched and enjoyed The Way.

It was great, but for some reason left me feeling a little unsatisfied. Can't put my finger on why.thebish wrote:thebish wrote:ok - DO NOT DISTURB

it's because they deployed that american habit of having to resolve everything and leaving nothing unanswered or unclear...Beefheart wrote:It was great, but for some reason left me feeling a little unsatisfied. Can't put my finger on why.thebish wrote:thebish wrote:ok - DO NOT DISTURB

I wish they'd have answered something/anything with Lost instead of just putting Kate in some killer heels in the finale
Anyway I enjoyed BB finale greatly.

Thought you'd have seen it through Will, if only for the wacky thurible swingers in the cathedral.William the White wrote:I gave it up after an hour of tedium...

Re: What are you watching tonight?
They couldn't have written a worse ending. It was basically what you put in white for BB up there^!

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Bit harsh. Thought it was a touch underwhelming and not really worthy of the show as a whole, but it was alright and tied up all the ends nicely.
