I watched DOA, the 1980/81 punk film.

It was quite good, never seen it before, or maybe I did, thinking about it, I might have seen it when I borrowed it from a Video Library in the late 80s, then the Punk Era was ancient history, it was like 10 years ago, daddio!

I like the woman with the strong southern accent pronouncement of the word 'balls'

There's footage of Glen Matlocks' Rich Kids doing Pretty Vacant and yes, he really does put the emphasis on 'Pretty' not the second syllable of Vacant.

I watched The Good Dinosaur. Never heard of it, but liked it. Wiki says it's Pixars least successful movie at the box office.
I saw How Train Your Dragon t'other week. I didn't like it. That should be Pixars least successful movie at the box office.
Pure racism against dinosaurs, if you ask me.

ITV are currently showing the Jaws films in order each week on a Saturday night, starting last week with actual Jaws and this week was Jaws 2. And I watched them both - for the first time in years.

They were probably the first "scary" films I was allowed to watch as a child so I remember them quite fondly. The scene in Jaws 2 where the woman in the boat sets herself on fire as she's being attacked by the shark has always stuck with me for some reason. SPOLIER ALERT! Watching them in quick succession shows that the "electrifying" ending isn't quite as spectacular as the first one.

So Jaws 3 is on next Saturday! Probably not 3D though. I think that's the one I've seen fewest times - in fact, I'm not sure I've ever seen it all the way through before.

And then a while later her charred body is washed up on the beach.

Stardust.

"We had a lot of good times in the van didn't we?

"Not really."

Octopussy.

Utter rubbish. I liked it.

AfrAId (2024).

Very very bad, but STILL not as bad as they'd like you to think.

You know: "they".

Proof!
