Back to the 1980s for tonight's film, and very 1980s it was: Road House (1989), featuring Patrick Swayze as a bouncer with a mullet, hired to clean up a dodgy bar in a small Kansas town. But what's this? There's a bad rich man who controls the town, and needs to be stopped! In other words, just about every cliché there is concerning the 1980s, bar-room brawls, and whatever dusty part of America that is, all rolled into one film
I seriously thought about ditching it half-an-hour in, being all clichéd out, but I stuck it out to the end and it wasn't too bad, I suppose. Or maybe it was too bad and I'd just resigned myself to it. Some fairly decent music from the house band, though.
Goodnight allComment

Well that's another film I'd never heard of.
Though I suspect there's shedloads of those in the piles & piles & towers of dvds surrounding me.
Living room temp: 20.6 deg C.
Laundry room temp: 19.6 deg C.
Dark grey.
Dank.
Drizzly.
Proper summer weather.
Just stuck the stewed blackberries in the fridge.
To keep the rest of the stewed blackberries company.
Train is currently 14 minutes late.
Again.
Ho hum.
And it was a Class 142 "bus on rails sans bogies" with 2 carriages.
This one didn't scream its flanges quite so much on the bend coming into Swansea.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 2 August 2018, 07:24.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Grey again
Apparently it'll get quite warm despite that later, though not as bad as the last few weeks.
Bring back the rain, says IComment

How's the ex-tooth going?
I wonder if I should mention, in the contact lens thread, the lady who is currently in hospital having drops put in her eyes every 30 minutes in an attempt to kill the amoebic infection that's eating her cornea?Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 2 August 2018, 08:11.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

I can't remember if she was depicted in Downfall; as I recall, it was just the Goebbels children who were in the bunker. And there was that soldier who killed himself and his family with a few grenades at the dining table.
One's view about Himmler's hair (having not considered this for some time) is that it displayed his nicely Aryan skull shape, so he was, in effect, showing off. Weird lads those Nazi's. Did you know they dropped bombs on my ship off Crete?Comment
