Watched it last night and enjoyed it as usual. Normally Rosie Jones gives me a headache but even she was entertaining!

Ok , I think I may be a bit weird [ quiet at the back ].....

Been on my own for a day and a bit - I've watched The English [ BBC iPlayer ] twice and am now on my 3rd viewing in a matter of hours .


The photography , the direction , the screenplay , the score......it's just superb .


The humour is lovely too -

Toby Jones driving the Stage Coach with a manacled Chaske Spencer alongside...

' Dammit , Why do you people always have to see things first , I saw it too , maybe I didn't get the need to say it ..... :grin:


Wonderful stuff - kinda programme that lifts the Spirit .

It's actually quite impressive to see how he maintains his enormous gunt, given how hard he supposedly toils on a daily basis running his farm. Must be necking whole bottles of cooking oil to stay quite so much of a sweaty blobster.

Watching Evil Dead 2. A film that I love.

Ash vs Evil Dead was even better. I'd go as far as saying it was the most fun TV series ever, even taking into account the very dodgy season 1 CGI.

Long live the deadites.

They have been a source of joy for over half of my adult life. Went out on their terms.
I'm actually rather sad it's over and glad to have been around to see it.
Take a bow, gentlemen.

Thoroughly enjoyed that, saddened this will be it though, proper end of an era stuff. One bit of confusion though, when they said they was ending it in Boswana where it all started, that one wasn't the first special.........?

Although I quite like being away from home sometimes I do miss the quality TV we get at home .

Back in Nairn again , this time in a caravan - the TV is just the ordinary freeview shyte .


The weather's blooming marvellous though .

For some reason never watched The Grand Tour so decided to start them from scratch.

It's okay, I pretty much skip most of it and just watch the car tests. Just watched Hammond fly off the hill in the Rimmac concept. :shocker: lucky man.

That thing went like a rocket.

The Sisters Brothers

“Brothers by Nature, Sisters by Name" is the strapline on the movie poster for this revisionist western starring John C Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix as Eli & Charlie Sisters, two gun toting assasins on the trail of a gold prospector.
Reilly and Phoenix are excellent as the bickering brothers and there's great support from Jake Gyllenhall and Riz Ahmed with a cameo from Rutger Hauer in one of his final movies.
There's a fairly high body count and a darkly comic undertone at times but at its heart is the relationship between the brothers and their journey from Oregon to San Francisco which at times has a feel of Butch & Sundance about it.
For fans of the genre I'd recommend this little gem.
