TV: Nat Geo's Apocalypse: The Second World War, WW2 documentry series http://natgeotv.com/asia/apocalypse-the-second-world-war

Movie: last watched was Thor and just got Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol to watch this week

Das Boot

It dosnt get any better than that

Watched 'No Country For Old Men' and 'The Hangover' this weekend.

TV: Touch Could be very good, but is uneven in spots. The creators need to start delving into Jake a little more. The series premise is losing it's pull and finding coincidental circumstances strung together is wearing out faster than M. Night Shamalan.

Movie: The Thing prequel. Wasn't bad... but wasn't original either.

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Also oddly proud of Cruise for sharing the hero spotlight with Jeremy Renner. Enjoyed the many nods to the fist flick (I loved the first one). Fully expected to see Max at one point. LOL

Nope. It had essentially the same story and formula as Carpenter's "The Thing". If you read any of the previews and saw the trailers for it, it was pretty obvious that it was not going to be original in any way.

The Walking Dead, they aired the first 6 episodes this weekend, I have only seen 2 so far, very good IMO

This Thursday they`ll show the whole 3rd season of Californication, very much looking forward to it.

The last movie I saw in the Cinema was Avatar. On my recorder Inglorious Basterds and Hurt Locker is waiting.

Avengers

Game of Thrones

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol

Game of Thrones - Ep 7

Bonanza - Hoss and Little Joe rob a Bank!


Wheels

I have a boxed set of Bonanza episodes. Hoss still puts a grin on my face.

Last thing I watched and didn't fall asleep watching was State of Play with Russel Crowe and Helen Mirren. By the numbers whodunnit movie.

Something I just found out today was how many episodes they made per yer early in the series.

Can you see someone trying to do 34 one hour episodes in a single season now?

My set has 34 episodes exactly so it is probably one complete season. They threw in 3 episodes of Wagon Train too.

Most likely.

At the moment the only seasons released, according to Wikipedia, are seasons 1 through 3.

Last thing I saw was 12 o'clock high (in color). They are showing it late at night 4am -5am every night on METV (some junk channel I get on direct TV. Pretty good show.

You're right of course. I did see trailers and some interviews and I didn't expect it to be groundbreakingly different than the original. Logically, there's no reason to believe the THING would act or replicate any differently than in the 1982 version, so there's not going to be a different modus operandi and different plot points from the original. It's still going to be a who can you trust/who's infected sort of chiller. But a few surprises might have been incorporated. For what it was I enjoyed the new [i]Thing[/i}.

I saw WarGames again today. Hard to believe that next year it will be 30 years since it was released.

Just picked up Chronicle on Blu-ray my son wanted to see. WOW, what a movie.

TV - don't have cable and reception with just an antenna is crappy here, so I haven't watched TV at home in probably 3 or 4 years. The last thing I watched was probably either CSI (original), MXC, UFC, or Star Trek: Enterprise.

Movie - Haywire, just last night. It wasn't bad.

That's me too. There's not much on TV that keeps my attention for very long. When I do have a show I follow, they end up canceling it anyway so I have an antenae, which works fine for me. I don't get all the channels, but enough to get news, and the ocassional program to pass the time. I seem to get 5 different versions of PBS. I like some of the news programing as well as other shows like FRONTLINE, NOVA or NATURE.
