The view from the other side...tonight (sat 2nd May`09) "Das Boot", BBC 2 11.40pm. German with sub titles if you see what they mean.
Oh look...Bobby has just got out of the shower. ;D

and I would not be surprised if Casey Ryback was still the Chef..
So introducing the Aliens may be OK but to expect a bunch of caretakers to reactivate a decommissioned WW2 battleship stretches the bounds of reality.
.
Have I illustrated my point? ;)
the bounds of reality not only were stretched but thoroughly broken, cast into disarray and left to sink into the Pacific OceanAre we moving into the UK, and the reasons why Fracking can't hurt the environment? <*<
I suppose there could be some living in Milton Keynes
Just recently watched 'The Cruel Sea' again, truly, they dont make em like they used to. Didn't see one spaceship!
obviously you may not have noticed a bit of science fiction in the Cruel Sea - the Seagulls flying backwards - after the Compass Rose does a depth charge attack on the men in the water.
aye
john
the Seagulls flying backwards
Aw, now I'm going to have to watch it all over again %) :}
Dave
Great Film, just switch off yer brain, and enjoy,..as for aliens in Milton Keynes, I don,t know,perhaps the writer is trying to mis-lead us,
So, you didn't think much of it then.....?
Hi all, I have just seen Kingsman Golden Circle. I would score it 3/10. I watched the first Kingsman film which was light and funny, then the second a bit OTT, but this one is pretty awful and gory as well.
Best left alone.

I really like Daniel Craig as an actor but he's absolutely no 007 for me.
Don't get me started on Gravity. What complete utter tripe and when I meet Auld Nick at the end I'll be asking for those 2hours back on my life. How something like that could win anything other than a raspberry amazes me.
Just seen BladeRunner 2049 , if the planets going to be like that then , thank god I wont see it . . . what a dark , dismal, poverty stricken place it'll be according to the current crop of writers/ directors . . .

Looks like a new Das Boot is on the books!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
Viasat World boards Das Boot - http://www.c21media.net/viasat-world-boards-das-boot/

European pay TV operator Viasat World has acquired the rights to event series Das Boot (8×60’) for its scripted channel Epic Drama.
This is sacrilege!
Das Boot is perfect in every way - really claustrophobic.
Das ReBoot will be yet another cheaply done flick with tons of cheap CGI to keep the costs down. WHY?
And should only ever be watched in German with Subtitles, the English dubbing is awful.

Deadpool 2 - best film of the year so far! Hilarious, violent, brilliantly done.
Solo - dreadful - contrived garbage - every thing we could ever piece together about Solo, the Falcon, Chewy, Kessel, Lando etc. all crammed into one big mess. I gave up on it after an hour of trying to watch it. Hoped they would all die in a blaster malfunction incident.

what is the term for a Navy vessel, that in all aspects is ready for war but at rest / in a standby state, i.e. not at battle stations?
A sitting target
But have been watching life on Mars series 1... proper policing... :police:
Historically bunk/ The two women never met.Very possibly true but at the meeting she did say she would deny it ever happened so who can be sure {-)
I watched - 'Welcome to Marwen' today, great film, loved it. :-))
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, him of 'Back to the Future' fame, so pleasant & familiar escapism, story telling and character depth. 9/10 :-)
I'd appreciate a professional's review! :-))....Just back in the UK tonight and immediately looked for it. Been watching parts. I skipped bits which were a bit like another day back on the boat. I feel a bit uncomfortable about it, a bit like many can't watch the Piper Alpha footage. I was only directly involved in the sat diving game for a few years (right when this happened), but in the relatively unique position I had as a non-diver, I have had a a bit too much exposure from all sides to say what I think. It was not a good time for that particular company if I recall though. We also had some Hi-Po incidents, directly or indirectly from others actions. You might also know of a Discovery / Quest programme of the Scandi Arctic -I would treat that with a pinch (20kg sack) of salt also, she was thrown off the field apparently due to freak weather while we were diving OK on our 30 year old boat about 1 mile away.

Watched Men in Black last week. A couple of times I nodded off {-)Saw MIB4 last week too - not impressed - lazy 'just for the money' script - like a poor man's Ragnorok. Aussie guy failing to be English, English girl failing to be American. Weak story.
Toy Story 4 in 3D tomorrow O0
We both actually enjoyed TS4 :-))It appeared in my feed so I watched it on-line this morning with my daughter. We didn't like it - the Benson dolls were almost as creepy as Chucky. The characters had all been twisted around to make the plot work. All very PC to stick in the throat. Gabby Gabby suddenly became good? Forky lost his deathwish? Bo suddenly becomes Lara Croft? I found the whole thing superficial and just unpleasant. It reminded me of Bolt.
This week our first choice is.........https://youtu.be/H3VeHyedL1U (https://youtu.be/H3VeHyedL1U)
Just watched (yet again) The African Queen, kind of in parallel with the start of my Deans Marine HMS Mimi / Toutou build. However the US movie has a completely different ending to C.S. Forester's original book.
So why was the movie ending totally different ? The saga of getting two forty foot launches across over 800 miles of African terrain to reach the lake was so awesome.
Very talented young people {-)
Actually, if that's the same show as I think it is, in case anyone asks, they say from the stage;
'No photos video at all... until we say at the, for the finale.'
( a colleague at work went and showed me the exact same photos! )
The new Midway film may be worth a watch for the CGI effects judging by the trailers. Human action looks like the American heroes same old though.
