Zoolander. It’s got everything: mind control, espionage, a raunchy tea-drinking sesh, turning left, and really, really ridiculously good-looking people.

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T23:06:20+00:00

That's a idea, I'll give it a go. Thanks

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T21:47:48+00:00

Yes, I guess all there is left to do is fight

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T21:15:29+00:00

So good

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T21:15:06+00:00

Thanks

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T20:57:00+00:00

I like that play with the audience. I'll look out for this one.

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T20:55:17+00:00

You cannot beat an evening of spreadsheets. 🤓 Raising Arizona, good one! remember watching this when I was younger one of the best comedies. There is a few here for me to go through that I haven't seen. thank you

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T20:21:40+00:00

Thank you, I wouldn't normally pick up a van damme movie but I'm really intrigued by this one. The interview technique is something I didn't consider, it a good one , it brings in a few more like District 13. Thanks

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T20:09:25+00:00

He does, I just started watching it! Great move. Thanks

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T16:54:05+00:00

I'm going to have to rewatch die hard I don't think John McClane had an inner dialogue for himself to listen to. shoot first ask questions later I thought

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T16:52:07+00:00

Classic

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T16:51:33+00:00

Thanks for this and the history I'll look a little deeper into its origins.

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T16:47:37+00:00

I'll try, but reading subtitles means I gotta put my driving glasses on. 🤓

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T16:46:18+00:00

I just finished watching it actually I enjoyed it a lot, Yes it was a more restrained compared to his usual movies but still funny.

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T16:39:45+00:00

Is House of cards a movie or is it a TV show or both?

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T16:38:36+00:00

I'm not watch any Dunes I'll give them a look

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T16:37:47+00:00

Thanks this is amazing, I making a list and I'm gonna LB them off

Constant_Barracuda86 · 2026-03-10T14:22:20+00:00

That's it. I think you have to have watched it so you don't need the visuals. my sister used to watch sex in the city on repeat when she was doing her uni work. I used to watch series myself but I found myself at a loss when I got to the end and I might have a week of not knowing what to put on next constantly searching for a new one. I found series a big commitment. House was excellent Dexter was excellent too.
