What are you watching tonight?

Thought that was their weakest performance tbh. The semi was miles better.

Agreed, the other 2 performances before were much better but even their weakest tonight was better then the other acts - thought Winston Churchill especially clever.

Their first 2 performances almost moved me to tears though (yeah, I know... ) tonight's didn't. First one was the best.

[William the White]

Italian comedy with subtitles called The Salt of Life in which a 60 year old, forced to retire from work with a modest pension, with a demanding mother being cared for by expensive nurse, an unsympathetic ex-wife and an exploitative, cash hungry daughter, and a lawyer friend who's an idiot, tries to rediscover love.

Slow, but fairly funny and with a heart. Three stars...

[TANGODANCER]

Watched Roman Polanski's film of Robert Harris's political thriller The Ghost. Supposedly based on a certain ex Prime Minister. Interesting...

We had the talent show on, the only acts I was remotely entertained by were the toddler dance group, the girl in a onesie on a piano, and the luminites whose lead singer is an absolute worldy! But not just for that reason, they were my favourite and the only one that wouldnt have me instantly switch channels if they came on the radio.

The fact that them shadow dancers won was a joke. Pathetic even. But sadly, not surprising.

I've managed to (almost) perfect the art of not watching any of the jury based contest showd ... Strictly, Get Me Out Of Here, Dancing on Ice, Big Brother, BGT, Apprentice (especially the Apprentice) ... all .... except the car crash audition phase of X-Factor.

I thinl that gets underway in a few weeks. I watch through my fingers mostly ...

I don't watch any of them. I occasionally get called into the room they're on in, to watch a particularly good example of "how not to" at the early audition stages by her indoors.

My mrs watches em all, but I'm happy to sit next to her with the ipad and me headphones on - then if owt interesting happens like a member of the string quartet decides to unload a box of eggs at Simon Cowell, she gives us a nudge.

Any good? Brosnan as Blair I seem to remember. Certainly not his best book, but not bad at all.

The film is an absolute verbatim copy of the book. Line for line. A decent enough film. Tuesday evening, nowt else to do, etc.

Brosnan is named as Adam somebody or other in the film, the infererence being that the book was aimed at Blair but stopped short of naming him ,and that his wife was a C.I.A undercover agent. It was apparently so thinly disguised that Harris said he was expecting a summons when the film came out. I enjoyed it, not maybe as much as Enigma, but Harris can do little wrong, for me.

Sky Premiere of The Bourne Legacy. I didn't have the first clue what the fxck was going on. I got a kind of explanation three quarters of the way through but by then it was way too late to make much difference. I kept on expecting this Bourne fella to turn up as well. Talk about confusing...
Anyway, I'm borrowing the box set of Bourne movies. I didn't realise it was the fourth in a series. It might have helped if I'd known that.

I didn't, for that very same reason.

Try the books first. Excellent one and all (well the ones that Ludlum wrote anyhow). The ones that Van Lustbader wrote (so book 4 onwards iirc) aren't the same intensity, but not bad.

Now usually I would, but I've got four books on the go simultaneously with another four waiting in the wings, and a friend already has the box set and I'd quite like to watch the first in the series before the last starts to fade from memory, and it'd take me at least three days (amazon) or till the weekend (actual bookshop) to get the books, so I'll watch the movies, then later this year I'll read the books.

I watched this total she ite last night LLS. Even having watched the first three, I was confused. If it's any consolation, the first three are better.

[Il Pirate]

Currently watching 'Marley'. Not to be confused with a recent film about a dog, this is a documentary film about Bob Marley, with a little Jamaican history thrown in. Very good so far.......

[mrkint]

Movies are v good imo* - you can tell that after they came out, the guys behind Bond just went 'yeah we should probably do that'. Also, fer me, one of the few trilogies (if any?) that seems to get better with each film.

Not including the latest 'Legacy' one. Not seen that. Nor do i want to.
