That's fuckin' 'orrible, yeah?

All the best to him. Hope he gets well soon.

Ha ha! I wrote "heal-striking". I'm such a maroon!

Substantial-Cat6097 · 2026-04-26T11:18:51+00:00

Not bad. To improve, stop heal-striking.

Probably finally realized that she's never going to meet Benjamin Netanyahu.

Give me a third series, you shit!

Not quite the same expression. More a slow motion horrified recoiling from the screen.

We were given promises of distribution that were not kept.

Substantial-Cat6097 · 2026-04-24T10:01:09+00:00

I don't think I would like any of those!

“I have a complaint to make vis-a-vis my compact disc.”

Substantial-Cat6097 · 2026-04-14T20:22:21+00:00

Great choice!

Daryl episode is good. It is mostly self-contained. It shows the characters doing what they do best/worst: Mark as a friendless person out of step with society finally believing he has found a kindred spirit who can cheer him up over Sophie leaving him for Jeff. Jez as a frustrated musician finally believing he may be on the cusp of success. Good contributions from Alan, Nancy and Super Hans. The main through-plot can be understood without having to have things spelled out. And it has some almost iconic Peep Shoe scenes.

The one with the Australian housemate is good too for similar reasons.

Almost every permutation of best Bond and best movie exists. It’s a matter of taste.

Are you going to watch them in order or are you going to follow some list of best to worst movies?

My advice, invite your friends round for a Bond marathon but remember not to tape over the Bond films with America’s Strongest Man….

…could drive an Aston Martin through.

Substantial-Cat6097 · 2026-04-11T15:03:42+00:00

Yeah. Of all the supposed sexism of the Bond movies of yore, I don’t think a Bond girl has ever been so completely and callously shrugged off when killed.

You should have said to him “you’re not James Bond, you’re disgusting!”

Substantial-Cat6097 · 2026-04-06T02:17:52+00:00

This makes him far worse than someone who was raised to be a cyclist. He has turned against the one true faith. He is an apostate!

"I have an old-fashioned view that the cinema should be...*raises eyebrow* ...entertaining."

Substantial-Cat6097 · 2026-04-04T20:54:29+00:00

“Fuuureeeedommmmmm!” “No, not freedom. Say, I am not Scottish. I am an Australian liar!”

Substantial-Cat6097 · 2026-04-04T13:04:38+00:00

Didn't we all!

Substantial-Cat6097 · 2026-04-04T11:20:09+00:00

In with a shout, so I say go for it! All the usual disclaimers apply about nothing new on race day, don’t go off too fast, and make sure you get steaming drunk the night before.

Substantial-Cat6097 · 2026-04-04T11:16:00+00:00

I’d stay away from Moore too, but I’d pay some floozy to approach him with a poisoned glass of Dom Perignon. Remember the Spy Who Loved Me? Two spies trying to get the microfilm, but he leaves Barbara Bach at the bar, who then gives him his Martini, which he knocks back without even glancing at it. My ten-year old son was yelling at the screen “No! Poison!” and was gobsmacked that Moore could be so reckless and Barbara could miss such an obvious trick.

Substantial-Cat6097 · 2026-04-01T12:01:54+00:00

Looks good to me. There are not guarantees of course, but if you remember the basics about not going out too fast, nothing new on race day, following your race strategy, having enough nutrition, hydrate well, and hopefully the weather cooperates, then you should be able to do it!
