scottsdad Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 The wife has been watching Good Girls on Netflix. You can see the pitch to the network. "Imagine Breaking Bad...with moms" ...except it is utter shite. Lots of Christina Hendricks though, which more than makes up for the fact it is awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye,would be happy enough watching anything with her in it,if it's as bad as you say the "mute"button would suffice,she'd still be there in all her glory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 The Space Shuttle that fell to Earth, on iPlayer, is one of the most compelling documentaries I’ve ever seen. It’s morbid, nerve wracking and moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Control suspected there might be a problem but didn't tell them - there was nothing they could have done about it anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Days Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Celebrity idiots on the Weakest Link who are playing for charity and find it funny to be a thick as Sh*t. Really boils my piss. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management knew, but didn’t believe - or refused to believe - it was fatal. Well worth watching the whole shebang. As I say, it’s one of the most riveting things I’ve seen in a while. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s morbid, nerve wracking and moving. It was a hard watch at times, seeing the astronauts and their families talking before the launch was pretty surreal stuff. The management structure at NASA seems completely crazy and they seemed to take a fingers crossed and hope for the best attitude towards safety. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Star Trek The Motion Picture was on yesterday. Caught 15 minutes of the crew looking awe-struck at the viewscreen as special effects fly by. How on earth have I ever sat through it all the way through (multiple times)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 58 minutes ago, KnightswoodBear said: I like TMP. The directors cut is better tho. Agreed. I read about this movie and Bob Wise, the Director, was very unhappy. The studio had committed to a December release so everything was rushed at the end, including the editing. And the editor's view was "we've spent millions on these special effects, so people will see them...all of them". Also, only after release did the director's daughter ask "Why did you rehash an old episode of the show for the story?" Wise didn't have a clue that the whole V'ger coming home to meet the creator had been done already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually of course things go according to plan, and even when there are problems the astronauts usually manage to come up with a solution. But when things like this happen it can be heart-breaking. It was particularly sad seeing the crew so happy, joking around in complete ignorance of what lay ahead. Especially the part where they paid tribute to the Apollo 1 and Challenger crews. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't planning to watch this until it was discussed on here but watched it all last night and I'm glad I did. Hadn't been aware of the full circumstances and the outcome of the enquiry and how bad Nasa come out of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanton Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Murder Case - The Disappearance of Julie Reilly , on the IPlayer . A horrific case and a really tough watch at times , watching it made me think that there are some truly evil individuals walking about amongst us . It also shows that forensic science isn’t all designer clothes or as cool as Gil Grissom and his team make it look , I honestly don’t know how they can do that sort of work , then switch off afterwards it must effect them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
