Got into a binge re-watch of both series of Happy Valley.  I'd forgotten how great this series was.  Never been a fan of Sarah Lancashire but she's so good in this show.  Very funny in places and truly brutal in others.  Highly recommended if you haven't watched it.

Starship Troopers. One of my favourites, that elluded my top 5. Got Band of Brothers to watch soon as well. Skipped it at the time.
Hala (from the Anglo-Saxon word "halh", meaning nook or remote valley), until it was gifted by King Henry II to Welsh Prince David Owen and became known as Halas Owen

Total bloody classic.  One of those flicks that, if I ever stumble across it on late night TV, I will always watch right through to the end... even though I own it on Blu-Ray and can watch it anytime I want!   8)

You gotta admire Paul Verhoeven spending $105 million of Disney's money on a film that blatantly equates the US with fascism... heck, Doogie Howser shows up dressed in a proper Nazi costume at the end!

I could say more... would you like to know more?   ;D

Still the least likely nuclear physisist of all time (The World Is Not Enough), but I still think that Christmas came more than once a year...

Just watched Patriots Day again, excellent film.

Speaking of Avengers, watched Avengers Infinity War today, NO SPOILERS... yeah it's the usual silly stuff but seeing as there's practically every major character from the Marvel movies in it they make a pretty good go at making something pretty coherent.  Quite epic, an interesting villain who (weirdly) makes an odd kind of sense in his motives and there were some folks seeming a bit shell-shocked leaving the cinema...

Yeah, I watched that one a couple of years back, really enjoyed it... be warned, it does get VERY silly as it goes on. You don't have to suspend your disbelief as hang it from the nearest lamp post!

But who am I to talk, I just enjoyed the new Avengers film, right?   ;D

Grosse Point Blanke for me, such a terrific film.

Arte tv - Isle of Wight Festival 1970
So many great artists and bands are gone :(
And me, I`ve got a black place in my heart
Still got this hole in me
Perhaps - I am the master of nothing?

This is the best movie about a festival I`ve ever seen
Not because of the music, but because the things happing around
The visitors, which have payed to be on the festival area, the others, who thought, they have the right to enjoy it all just for free and the managers of the festival and the artists are only interested to make as much money as possible, so they can ignore the fences around the area
This "I want it all for free and I don`t care about the work of all people involved to make this festival happen and the artists to be on stage, if the are payed or have instead to pay with their own money"- I didn“t know, that it started so early
J. Mitchell on stage asked for "respect us, we are turning our inside out here on stage", others backstage : we want to play on stage, we`ll play for less money, if there`s a problem
And the organisators (I have to google the names) loved music and did their best to handle the situation without knowing, how much money they would have to pay during the festival and later  without having got it by paying visitors (seems to be a lot) ...
And me, I`ve got a black place in my heart
Still got this hole in me
Perhaps - I am the master of nothing?

binging on Power at the minute and have watched the first two episodes of The Rain which looks very promising

PS I have never watched The Sopranos despite having downloaded them all!
