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.......

Second semi. Genuinely impossible.

Vicky Coren-Mitchell looking delectable though.

Surprised no-one else has mentioned it, but I was a little disappointed with the finale of Game of Thrones, after a cracking series, i thought it was all bitty and rushed????

A rare afternoon to myself and finally got around to watching Sunshine on Leith on sky. What a bloody cracking little film. Musicals aren't generally my thing, with one or two exceptions, but absolutely loved it. Some cracking lines and a real cheering film.

'Are you joking. 17 quid? I can fly to Italy for 17 quid!' :lol:

Finally somebody else has seen it, I've been banging its drum for ages. Totally grin-tastic!! Pretty sure I skipped home from the cinema after this!

Enjoying Penny Dreadful. Eva Green is superb as always.
I like her a lot. Sometimes I pretend she's my girlfriend.

Just watched all 2 hours and 45 minutes of the brilliant TV adaptation of Janette Winterson's Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit.

What a superb actress Charlotte Coleman was. A real shame.

Trawling youtube I found this episode of HIGNFY. Takes a while to get used to the comedy statesman of Merton and Hislop as fresh faced youngsters next to their team-mates Peter Cook and Douglas Adams. Some line-up of comedy talent. And Angus Deayton.

I've enjoyed it but found it a little hit and miss, thought they're dragging the story out a little with far too much repitition. Also disappointed that its the finale tonight after only 8 epsiodes. Hope its not another series where its a 12mth wait til the next batch.
Completely agree about Eva Green, I think I've mentioned her previously, and she's mine, so keep your filthy non-bearded Horwich hands to yourself. She's definitely into bearded Wiganers, I've read it ont' t'interweb :mrgreen:

'Hard To Kill' starring Stephen Seagal (quick hands) who wakes from a coma after baddies kill his wife but not him and his kid but brave nurse helps him escape assassin and recover so quick that he can use chopsticks and write Chinese symbols after just a few hours then acupunctures himself back to health and trains during a 3minute montage and deals with these nasty mofos.

Tremendously inspiring.

He's now boffing Kelly Lebrock in soft focus. To an 80s sax soundtrack.
This is brilliant, I'm laughing out loud on a regular basis.
That may have something to do with how much beer I've drunk.

Having finished House of Cards ( the best thing I've EVER seen on tv), done Dexter, Breaking Bad and Modern Family, I've just finished the second series of Orange is the New Black. Not bad.

Netflix then kindly told me I should watch The L Word. I'd just like to take this opportunity to say "Thank you Netflix".

Bloody hard work this working from home thing.

Interview with Christopher Hitchens by Paxman where they discuss his career, and his cancer. Last five minutes are fecking intense.

Watched the storyville doc on BBC 4 on Lance Armstrong. Christ, he was a nasty piece of work. Much respect to the 2 journos who refused to swallow the myth and kept digging
