Anyone see the new Doctor Who episode?
I thought it was pretty good and the new assistant - Bill - offers something very different to Clara.
A reasonable start to the series.
Yup...
What do you reckon is in the vault?
Best wishes,
Steve
Good question. And at this stage I haven't got a clue!

Battle of the Bulge (1965).
Learned alot of new things;
1. The Tiger II looks exactly like the Patton.
2. The Sherman looks exactly like the Chaffee.
3. People took way longer to die back in those days.

Why would you (voluntarily, I assume) subject yourself to this movie?
Don't forget that fuel drums, when kicked downhill, make superb antitank weapons. [:D]

Just revisiting the movies my grandfather made me watch when I was a kid.
Yeah true, those fuel drums...Wonder why no more attacks like that were made [:D]

Heehee! [:)] Back in the 1990's, having not watched it for yonks, I bought Battle of the Bulge on VHS.
I couldn't believe how bad it was! As a kid that was such a great film....[:(]

Versailles season 2 starts soon - huzzah!
Très bon. But it won't be quite the same sans Henrietta.
Indeed - no civilsing English representation in the French court anymore. Shame. [;)]
RE: What program/film/documentary are you watching now?
First episode of Versailles came up to scratch [:)] Torture methods were a little unsavoury though.....

I watched "White Tiger" (2012), a Russian WWII movie with English subtitles.

What a trip [X(] You could define it "Moby Dick, shot like David Ayers' 'Fury', but directed by either David Lynch or Nicholas Winding Refn.
Everything, from the historical reconstruction, to the acting, to the cinematography, is first rate. However, be prepared for a movie heavy in mysticism and symbolism. Very different from the usual American fare, but also not "Putinesque". If anything, it is a movie about disillusionment and hopelessness, even in the middle of the Russian soldiers cheering for the conquest of Berlin. If you have seen "Valhalla Rising" by Refn, that's the kind of poetic that you find here.
My mark: 8 out of 10.

Ive seen a couple Russian movies recently on Youtube that are very well done.
White Tiger, Star, Come and see, and the one where the Lieutenant is charged with cowardice and is guarded by the Asiatic solder.
RE: What program/film/documentary are you watching now?
Big Little Lies ended last night. Looks like no one here watched it, but this was an excellent series with excellent actresses (Kidman, Witherspoon, Dern, Woodley) and a gripping plot and series of sub plots.
Please can we have a season 2? Please?
On a darker note was the first of 4 episodes of Little Boy Blue. Based on the true story of an 11-year old Everton-mad little boy who was shot and killed in 2007, having been caught in the cross-fire between rival gangs while walking home from football training on a summer's evening.
Fine script, fine acting - but a thoroughly, depressingly sad episode.
