Stop rubbing it in!
Today I bought a 2nd copy of "Broken City", which, fortunately, wasn't £7, , but 75p is 75p after all.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

For the record, lunch earlier was a couple of croissants, with the last of the strawberry jam that was best before early February
This means future croissants will be with the raspberry jam that's best before some time in summer next year, so update your files accordingly.Comment

My master plan isn't helped by iTunes having marked a large number of films as "Watched" when they haven't been
Next plan: filter for films that are so marked but for which the "last played" date is nil, and mark them as unwatched if I don't remember having watched themComment

Tea/dinner this evening involved microwave rice, tomato soup, baked beans, a couple of apples, a tangerine, some bread, the odd touch of chilli sauce and some tea.
The Southern Comfort came along later.
This evening's first feature was "Metro (1997)" with Eddie Murphy as a cop in San Francisco.
A novel idea that's never featured in a flim previously but it was ok.
It's not Beverly Hills Cop, mostly because a) it's not in Beverly Hills, and b) because it's a drama/action movie not a comedy.
Metro (1997) - IMDb
And a prime example of why you should off the baddie at the first possible opportunity.
The evening's 2nd feature is "The Lucky Ones (2008)" with Tim Robbins, Michael Pena, Rachael McAdams.
The Lucky Ones (2008) - IMDb
Being the story of three returning veterans of one or other of Bush's wars, unspecified.
It's rather good in its way.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Got late early tonight, didn't it?
The first major motion picture of the evening was The Meg (2018), in which Jason Statham encounters a giant prehistoric shark (as do some other people, but it's mainly to do with him). I'm not an expert on these matters but I strongly suspect this film to be scientifically unsound. Still, it's entertaining enough despite that
One can imagine the initial production meeting:"So, it's about a really big shark."
"Yeah, I think Spielberg already did that?"
"We're gonna need a bigger shark."
And after that, a rewatch of Reservoir Dogs (1992), which I watched for the first time getting on three years ago. Excellent film
Goodnight allComment

Watched The Meg at the local IMAX...
It's a great film if you are happy to willingly suspend your disbelief...Comment

Bit of a change of tone for our Jason though.
Morning.
Unpleasantly early.:
It'll be even more unpleasantly early tomorrow.
Grey.
Cold.
Sunless.
No observable precipitation.
And speaking of 1970s sea films, I found what I took to be a Dutch version of "The Deep" yesterday.
I left it where it was.
Now charging 10 NiCd cells so I can set the timer on a vcr.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 31 March 2019, 08:33.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
