scottsdad Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 The Assets on Alibi - Jodie Whittaker (the new Doctor) playing a CIA agent in the 80s trying to catch a mole. The show is on every night, and on catch up. Very enjoyable - and a true story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 5 hours ago, ah-dee said: everybody loves Raymond. been watching it on and off for years and still unsure if it annoys or delights me It's both. I think that's one of the reasons why Raymond works is because all of the characters are really flawed and not hugely likable, but they are relatable. Raymond is a whiny mummy's boy. Debra overreacts to everything. Robert is debilitated with jealousy and also crazy chin. Marie is manipulative and overbearing. Frank is an asshole. They all also have positive qualities, in that they all love their family. One of my favourite episodes of Raymond was the one where Robert learned that his parents had been lying to him all these years about his birthday to hide the fact that he was conceived out of wedlock. Brad Garret's face as he deals with this confusion was priceless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Rocky is on ITV 4 just now, haven't watched it in years but still a great film, although nothing beats Rocky IV. Training montage due in about 5 mins. ETA Paulie is a complete cock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Rocky IV should have swept the boards come awards season, there needs to be a special Oscar for cheese, and for best training montage in film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched it, brought back memories of searching for my Dad at all hours. When you think about it there are worse ways to go, getting a bit lost and confused, finding yourself back at the pub you used to go to with your husband, and nearby the barracks your brother served at, and lying down for a kip. She was almost skipping when she passed the the pub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Rocky II on now, montage due in about ten mins. If I remember it's a better montage than the first film. Never wanted a grown man to catch a panicking chicken so much (not a euphemism).Pauly is still a dick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Watching the Kenny Rogers crawlfest on BBC4. Must be a bit shit having to be filmed watching you and your 5th trophy wife's obese twins being too fat to play table tennis. Seems a nice guy though.

Watching Kenny Rogers at Glastonbury a few years back was like a drunk grandad singing at the end of a family gathering. I enjoyed it very much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittsburgh phil Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Rocky IV up now on ITV4. Where to start with this one? RIP Apollo, heavyweight Soviet juicers, possibly the best montage in cinematic history, Robert Tepper's mighty song No Easy Way Out, Paulie being his usual dickish self, a robot butler, and the power of sport to unite two diametrically opposed nations. Recording it as I'm watching the real boxing, ironically featuring a Russian juicer. ETA, also featuring James Brown's Living In America. This film is high class shit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Rocky IV is on ITV4 just now. As correctly stated earlier, it's clearly the best Rocky. Best soundtrack and best training montages as well, plus Rocky ends the Cold War. I just saw a trailer for Creed 2. Creed was good. Creed 2 has Creed junior fighting Drago junior with Rocky and Drago senior in the respective corners. Comes out next month. Oh and shockingly @Chicken Wing disagrees that Rocky IV is the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
