A Star Trek episode I hadn't seen since I was a kid. RIP Leonard Nimoy. | ||

Hannibal TV show, season one, episode one. I got about 30 minutes into it before I gave up. Gratuitous rubbish. | ||

Eventually got to see True Detective Series 1. It was good, but not any better than that imho. | ||

I thought True Detective was superb and am looking forward to the second series. I watched episode five of Better Call Saul last night. Not a classic episode, but overall the series is great. | ||

Hiding, on ABC. Best episode yet. Well scripted and acted. | ||

Moore Boy, a lovely comedy about growing up in Ireland in the late '80s/early '90s. | ||

That should have been Moone Boy. Ireland's cricket World Cup run is so exhilarating that I've had phone conversations with both my father and one of my brothers tonight about it. If you told me a decade ago that this would ever happen I would not have believed it. | ||

Just watched Dig, the documentary about The Brian Jonestown Massace and The Dandy Warhols. It confirms my view of the former and makes me like the latter more. | ||

Transparent. I didn't expect to like it, but I do. It's very good. | ||

Good Vibrations, the Terry Hooley record shop and label story. Liked it a lot. | ||

I loved Good Vibrations. | ||

Chelscum knocked out of the so called Champions League. Always fun to see a team of miscreants & their knuckle dragging followers turfed out. The sense of bewildering entitlement being quashed is a wonder to behold. | ||

Nice work, Jerry! | ||

I saw Inherent Vice this afternoon. What a pile of crap. God, it's dreadful. It joins Leaving Las Vegas and Mulholland Drive in a list of fuck awful films rave-reviewed by critics too scared to point out the emperor isn't wearing any clothes. I'm pissed off I wasted my money on this. | ||

Watched England play one of the most bizarre games of rugby union ever! The world cup will be interesting, with one of England, Wales or Australia to go out in the first round because of the seeding. England at home should be good enough, but that's 'should' rather than will! Follow sport for years and you never count on anything! Pádraig, agree with you re Mulholland Drive, and I speak as a David Lynch fan. Dreadful pile of doo-doo. Though my own favourite for over-rated-ness is Tombstone. | ||

Simon, yes, this year's World Cup is shaping up to be the most open yet, with Ireland, England and Wales capable, hopefully, of matching New Zealand and South Africa. I wouldn't write off Australia or France either. Meanwhile, Better Call Saul gets better and better. | ||

Inside Men, a BBC series from a few years back that I've just come across. | ||

The Returned (the original French series, Les Revenants, not the US remake). I've just watched the first episode. Wow, it's creepy. I missed it when SBS showed it, but it's now on a streaming service. Using a streaming service for the past couple of months - I signed up only because it has the exclusive rights to Better Call Saul in Australia - makes me realise that the days of cable/satellite TV are numbered for anything other than live sport and, possibly, news. I don't think it will kill network TV, though it seems to be more fearful of streaming than cable operations. I'd be interested in others' thoughts on this. Is anyone else using a streaming service? |
