What are you watching tonight?

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Bought a 3D TV set-up yesterday. Not much out there in terms of 3D films, so I somewhat reluctantly picked up A Christmas Carol 3D.

Just watched it.

Gobsmacked. :-)

I think so, it's certainly up there with The Wire and The Shield for me, in terms of quality. The opening few episodes of those shows were quite inauspicious too...

Don't know The Shield but The Sopranos and The Wire pretty much had me from the first episode. One of the reasons being that they took it easy, allowed you to come to grips with the characters, and the fact that they were complex. These seem so predictable, stereotypical, and it's all plot. Hey, not posted back to LoveFilm yet - might get it out of the envelope and try the next 90 mins...

Will you not get fed up of wearing the glasses to watch telly?

I was so close to buying but thats what put me off. I couldn't imagine sitting down to watch Liverpool Villa say and putting on stupid looking glasses!

I guess you get used to it?

I'm fairly sure the answer to that will be yes, you will get fed up of wearing the glasses.

They're fine for the odd film - but again probably wouldn't watch one every night (there's only a handful of decent ones out at the moment).

For the sport, not tried it yet - Not having a HD TV until Sunday, we didn't have Sky HD or Sky 3D, so they're coming to put a HD box etc. on Thursday. Will let you know after trying it out.

I couldn't imagine watching a day's cricket with 3D specs on - I could imagine watching a football game, rugby match, maybe a concert etc. with a pair on.

You not tried playing Black Ops in 3D yet? It's meant to be ah-maz-ing.

When he was on Mock I thought 'he is better than this'.

I watched him on tour and in this shit and thought 'no he isn't'.

:whack: Last xmas, Frankie Boyle should have been the top turn at my eldest lads work's do at the Grovener hotel Mayfair. At 10.00 o'clock everyone was well bladdered, when an anouncement was made over a tannoy stating the comic was about to take to the stage, and could the audience please refrain from blowing up the torpedo balloons and letting them fly all over the room, as Mr Boyle ( I kid you not ); does not like his show to be interupted. He came on stage, said one joke, someone fired a balloon vaguely in his direction. He stated the audience had been warned and f*cked off in a hissy. Allegedley pocketing his 10 grand fee as he left. All present were shocked, but didn't think it was funny.

Gave Black Ops a quick look - unless I set it up wrong, it didn't work very well (some reports I read said it wasn't the best) - will have another go when I have a little more time.

As an aside, the Missus got pulled over by schoolteacher today

Teacher: "Young Worthy didn't do his spelling homework last night"
Missus: "We'll have a word with him, he told us he didn't have any homework"
Teacher: "His excuse was "I had to watch a film in 3D on the telly""...

:oops:

Yeah apple-orgies, I did a quick search for reviews ont net myself and it seems a lot of people reckon the black ops 3D is a bag o'shite on the 360. I guess my mate who told me it was brill was maybe exaggerating. :oops:

You wanna have a word with that teacher though. Shirley experimenting with 3D telly will come in far handier in the lad's future than some silly spelling tat?

He got 19/20 and understands some of the technologies involved in 3D now. :-) So I'm with you on that.

Frank Turner on Friday was unbelievably good. I'd never been to 53 degrees before, i quiet liked it, managed to siddle round the edges almost to the front. Went in the Mad Ferret afterwards, owned or run by the son of a guy from my local, cracking pub! Frank is such a good live act, and I would encourage anyone to go see him. £14 is such good value for a gig of that quality. Two of his gigs, Friday and at the Roundhouse last Feb would be in my top 5 faves ever. I've been a massive fan for ages, and seen him play in front of about six people in the back room of a pub, but he deserves the recognition and growing reputation he is getting at the moment. Despite my almost SKD levels of love for the man I think his new stuff is horrendously over produced on CD, his new single was described almost unanimously by my friends who went as their highlight of Reading/Leeds this summer, but the single on the new EP loses all of the rawness to it. Bits of the newest album suffer form this also, though he reamins a brilliant songwriter and lyricist. In the flesh on Friday it was awesome. The more I see him the more Springsteen like he gets, both in his style and the fact he really seems to care that the audience have a good time and he puts on a good show. Massively enjoyed!

Mad Ferret, despite the shittiest name in the history of pubs, is one of my boozers of choice whenever I'm Preston. Used to do a smashing fry-up there as well.
