Last film you watched.....

For good clean family fun I’d recommend Nativity and Nativity 2 @Sandi T.
Very Englishcentric humour, but you’ve had plenty of training on here so you should get it

 

Thanks for the recommendation, @OldNick! We'll see if those are available on one of the services we have available.

 

Die Hard.

 

That's a good one, JtC! And it is included on many Christmas movie lists. Sometimes I think we need a "thumbs up" post response emoji.

 

+1 for the thumbs up emoji

 

Ummm. I just noticed when reading your post @pistonbroke, that the "like" emoji is.....yes, a thumbs up. Doh.

 

Yeah, but "like" is different from thumb/thumbs up. We need both.

 

I definitely agree with that, JtC. Maybe that's why I was thinking we need a "true" thumbs up emoji that means something like "Yeppers, that's a good idea" or "A-OK" or "Way to go!" or some such thing. Which isn't quite like "Like". Similar but definitely different connotations. Any thoughts on what a more representative "like" emoji would/should be??

 

I would say the "OK" symbol, but in todays world that may not fly . . .

 

Yeah, you're probably right. Some of our "old" symbols have taken on new meanings and connotations. Maybe the Clapping Hands emoji that I sometimes use that's in my iPhone?

 

Some NETFLIX offerings I just binged through that were pretty good.

1. Unbelievable

2. The Ripper (documentary about the 75-81' West Yorkshire ripper murders)

 

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

 

Just watched The Ripper doc -outstanding (it seemed to me the feminist PC angle was awkwardly wedged in it so it would pass muster with the PC crowd and that soured it a bit for me).

 

One of our annual traditions! It never gets old.

Where do you think you're going to put a tree that big?
Bend over and I'll show you.
You can't speak to me that way!
I wasn't talking to YOU.

The midnight sky. George Clooney's latest. A little slow and disappointing


'

 

The Crazies.

Oldie but goldie, quality pre waking dead COVID nae bother. And a look at Iowa other than those Slipknot chaps. Flat then. Very flat.

 

Watched Cloud Atlas the other day, an enjoyable romp... good to see at the end if you recognised who was who... I didn’t get them all.

 

Ben hur. TCM. Long, boring day ahead.

 

'To catch a thief' - you can't beat those old Hitchcock films
