Ah, Reno, you're there.
Last night I watched half of this desperate nonsense:
Germany, WHAT THE FUCK?
I might just look out for the first one, but I think an hour of the sequel is all I can manage.I've had a download of the first one for ages, feeling it was my duty as a German to watch this, but I never got round to it. I think it was the biggest German film in ages there. I tried to watch a previous film by the director and found that unwatchable.
it was wank, proper wank. They never left that pub or the present day front room of rodneys house.Goodnight Sweetheart was fairly forgettable with a couple of decent observations, typical ITV gentle comedy with added time travelling adultery played for laughs.
Must have been cheap as chips to make, then.Aliens, Directors cut. In really good quality. Still got it. I'd forgotten how slimy wayland-yutani company man is. Good acting, gives off perfectly ther air of an opportunist groper.

It wasn't his choice to remove the scenes, he was contractually obliged to bring in the film at a certain length. The extra scenes come to around an extra 25 minutes. It was already a long film and that pushed the film to a length where theaters can't get in enough screenings in a day. While I find the extra scenes interesting, I think the shorter cut is better paced....the added scenes are very brief and you wonder why Cameron ever thought it improved the film to remove them - the bit about Ripley's daughter explains the whole maternal thing with Newt that runs through the whole film whilst the sentry guns are just generally frickin' brilliant - why would you not show that bit..
..one of the clever little bits of Paul Reiser's performance is as he comes face to face with his nemesis at the end he lets out this little whimpering noise....I was involved in ( ...what I thought for a moment was going to be... ) quite a nasty road accident and actually spontaneously emitted exactly the same noise as I clutched the steering wheel !
...it was BBC not ITV...blame where blames due...
Last Days in Vietnam - stunning doc about the fall of Saigon in 1975. If it's on BBC player, I highly recommend it.
the drone guns
I've been trying to catch up on old DC cartoons as I remember them being pretty good. Batman Beyond was last nights run of progs. 1) just over 20 mins long each. Just enough to get the ads for stretch armstrong and lego in. 2) 20 years in the future, overly 'coolified' title sequence. 3) Old Bruce Wayne lol
but despite that some strong episodes and Amanda Waller turns up as an old lady, much diminished in bulk.
Interesting that, no waller in the new films.
Missed that, to busy ogling quinn probably, but will re-watch trailers to confirm what you allegeErm, Suicide Squad?
That's definitely Waller bringing them together.

Last Days In Vietnam also on you-tube well worth watching as krtek and others have said.Quite a story.I watched that last night. Very good, I agree. I liked the bloke who described it as a microcosm of America's entire Vietnam War fuck up. Some scary stuff in the end credits about the re-education centres for the folk left behind, too. One poor sod got 13 years hard labour.
Can you suggest a more balanced doc on the same ground?Fwiw I didn't think it portrayed the Americans in a good light.It's one-sided.
I loved it. But bonkers but fun.Is Bates Motel any good?
I hope not as I have far too many TV shows on my hard drive to burn through, including five series of American Horror Story and three of Walking Dead.
