Re: What are you watching tonight?
Watched a film (in Italian with subtitles) about Robero Calvi, the man dubbed "God's Banker" and the rum events around his death in 1982 when he was found hanged beneath Blackfriars Bridge in London. I remember it causing some sensation at the time it happened. The film decidedly showed he was murdered but no one was ever convicted despite several involved parties including the Italian Mafia and Masonic elements. A Vatican Archbishop (Rutger Hauer in the film) was absolved from trial (rightly or wrongly).One massive cover up was the indication.

Ended up working late so couldn't really pay it any attention. I'll watch it tonight when I get back. Mates & colleagues have given it bang-on reviews. I'm looking forward to it.General Mannerheim wrote:belting return wasnt it! although the obviously increased budget is being wasted on stupid sweeping ariel scene opening shots...Bruce Rioja wrote:The new series of Happy Valley tonight.

Watched it last night. A superb set-up. Didn't really notice these big sweeping shots however.General Mannerheim wrote:belting return wasnt it! although the obviously increased budget is being wasted on stupid sweeping ariel scene opening shots...Bruce Rioja wrote:The new series of Happy Valley tonight.

The best line was "I could have let em off with a stern word and a community resolution, helping Mr Cameron and Mrs May massage the crime figures, but they scored very poorly in the attitude test"Bruce Rioja wrote:Watched it last night.

Based on the reccos, I looked for this yesterday - but wanted to start at Series 1. Off to BBCi player - strangely enough it's not there unless I want to pay for it...which I sorta thought I already had through my license fee.

That's as maybe, Worthy, but still worth shelling out for anyway> Is it not available via Lovefilm etc?Worthy4England wrote:Based on the reccos, I looked for this yesterday - but wanted to start at Series 1.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
I may <cough> have a digital copy <cough> of the first series. If I can figure out a way of getting it to you. Would need to check how big the files are.Worthy4England wrote:Aye - I might break the bank, eventually.Bruce Rioja wrote:That's as maybe, Worthy, but still worth shelling out for anyway> Is it not available via Lovefilm etc?Worthy4England wrote:Based on the reccos, I looked for this yesterday - but wanted to start at Series 1.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. There's no sight quite like that of watching Worthy squirm upon getting his purse of monies out. It's like watching a a freshly salted slug.Abdoulaye's Twin wrote:I may <cough> have a digital copy <cough> of the first series. If I can figure out a way of getting it to you.

After watching Shaun the Sheep last weekend I went to see Rams today. Safe to say it's the opposite end of the ovine film spectrum.

The one with Matt Damon in it? The comedy was Damon's, fairly subtle but there.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:I must have had a comedy bypass AT, I didn't notice any comedy in it at all.
