Thought I'd re-start the film and TV topic thread. To chat about our favourite films, tv or chat about something we've just watched
Just watching Into the Woods. Was quite surprised its a musical, with alot of singing but really liking it :-) Meryl Streep is good in it, and james cordon can sing pretty well! Anyone seen it? Xx
-
I saw it a few weeks back, at the time I didn't know it was a musical. I was surprised at how well James Cordon could sing.
It was the case for me , started to watch the film and only wanted to see how it finished, an ok film to me.
The film I could watch again ( not seen it for a few years ) is Bicentennial Man, really enjoyed watching that .

Bicentennial Man
Robin Williams, a true genius but a troubled soul. Don't think he made a bad film did he?
p.s. My grandsons used to watch Mrs Doubtfire on VHS everytime they came to see us 8^)

So, do we have any Game of Thrones fans here? Xx

Think I might have been if I'd got into it from the start. I hate missing the beginning of anything. I'm 'into' a series of books by an author "Julian Stockwin" which follows the career of a man "Thomas Kydd" press ganged into the Royal Navy in the times of Admiral Nelson. The first one I listened to was mid-series but I didn't know. I've bitten the bullet and gone back to the start and am now past where I first started. It's helped me through some bad times.
For some reason I don't understand, I can't bring myself to watch/listen to/visit any/thing/place we used to do together?? Chris would be totally gobsmacked if she knew I was now an ardent audiobook fan :grin:

I am A Film Nut but Since Gail My wife has Passed I cannot Concentrate anymore, Game of throans is One of my Favorites but again still having Problems too Watching stuff My Dear Wife used to Watch.I Love Robin Williams ( never seen him in a Bad Film/Movie, I live with my Oldest Son who Tries to get me to watch stuff with him, maybe in Time or some thing will Click to let me Watch Them again.
Best Wishes :hearts:

I know its the not the same but after my divorce it took a long time for me to be able to watch a film. If I tried to watch a film on my own I would be in tears at the end as I would suddenly feel alone, I found it easier with a friend - but even then I found I could get quite emotional with the content of the film (during one film I burst into tears!). Took quite some time before I could enjoy watching films again on my own. xx

Resurrecting the film and TV chat, has anyone here seen the Captain America: Civil War film which was in cinemas recently?
-
I havent Emz but i am going to theatre tomorrow to see 'Priscilla queen of the desert' with Jason Donovan, better re phrase that im not going with Jason Donovan, he's starring in it, im actually going on my own lol xx
:heart:
-
Thought I'd resurrect this thread again. Autumn is coming/starting (I'm never sure when it officially starts! In my mind it's Autumn now) it's my favourite season for many reasons. An added bonus is all the TV series which start again.
I saw a post about the date The Walking Dead will start, I know the Apprentice is coming up and Rhod Gilbert will be hosting the You're fired programme afterwards (i like Rhod, think he's a great comedian). Flash and Arrow will be starting too and loads I've forgotten to mention
So, what TV series are you looking forward to?
Or if you prefer films, are there any you'd like to discuss or recommend? Xx
-
I've watched very little TV since my wife died over 5mths ago, though I do like Foyles War, and though I recorded the complete series, I still like to watch it when the repeats are aired, so have watched a couple of those recently, I thought the series was very good indeed, my wife enjoyed them too.

Totally agree autumn definately best time of year for tv series, im enjoying watching 'Victoria' 'DCI Banks has just started thats another of my favourires. And i believe theres another season of 'Poldark' starting soon, on the lighter side, my saturday evenings will be taken up on the dancefloor with strictly, and more than likely do a stint in The jungle with the celebrities lol, at the moment im trawling through a boxed set on Netflix 'Orange is the new Black' getting a bit bored with it now though its going on forever. So i would appreciate some good film recommendations, but please nothing scary or vampirish, cant watch those sort on my own lol xx
:coffeetoast:
-
Am really into Grey's Anatomy at the moment.
-
That sounds like a hospital drama series Joann, if so, ladies do tend to like that sort of thing, but I've seen enough hospital drama's this year to last me a lifetime.....so I'll leave those to you ladies.
-
Can't wait for Strictly to come back on this weekend. Xx
-
Am I the only person in the country who doesn't like strictly or bakeoff. :rofl: Poldark has already started,I was enjoying Victoria but the two clashed and poldark potentially minus shirt won.I rarely watch films my DVD collection is definitely grandchild orientated mainly Disney. Although the gruffalo is probably one of my favourites.
Havnt seen into the woods but I did see James cordon sing on something and thought he was good.The TV is on more for company than anything it breaks the silence but most of the time I,m only half watching and doing something else.Full attention grabbing occurs on the rare occasion a wildlife documentary or gardening programme comes on though.David Attenborough and Monty don' are my TV hero's.
-
I've gone right off TV. Haven't switched on for at least 3 days now but I'm getting through audiobooks at a ridiculous rate. Just finished Alan Titchmarsh's "Mr Gandy's Grand Tour". I just love his style of writing and he narrates his books himself. I think he must have gone round the queue several times when they were handing out talent - or is it just because he's a Yorkshire lad :grin:
-
David Attenborough is a total legend xx
-
Never done audio books but if you like a bit o Yorkshire Alan Bennets talking heads would probably be good as audio books.

Yes - not seen any audiobooks of his stuff but it's now on my list :smiley:. There's another Yorkshireman who I love to listen to. Gervaise Phinn - ex school inspector and he also narrates his own books. Brilliant gentle comedy about life in Dales schools.
I think I've said it before, Chris would not believe it if she could see me now. She worked in local libraries and was only ever happy when surrounded by books. My TV doesn't get switched on for days at a time now. (oops just said that once didn't I but it's true anyway)
-
I don't know if it's just me but I get totally and completely hooked on certain music tracks. At the moment I spend almost every moment listening to two tracks by Boz Scaggs (not a favourite of mine otherwise) "Fly like a bird" and "Sierra". I think that it's a combination of his voice and the lyrics that do it for me.
Anybody else use Spotify? A few years ago it would have been unimaginable that you could just listen to virtually any recording at any time, when music first took my interest it was a crackly little radio tuned to Radio Luxembourg and then a bus to town the next day (if I could afford it) to stand in a queue in the record shop and buy what I wanted - rush home and stick it on the Dansette :smiley:
-
Radio Luxembourg was my first vice,and was played on a big square transistor with a dial housed under my pillow as it was not approved listening in my house. :rofl:
-
I used to listen to Radio Luxembourg as well, brilliant music (then) :yahoo:

Glad you didn't add "not like today's rubbish" cos that makes us the old fogeys we said we wouldn't become. :rofl:
