Watched Apollo 11 again last night - this subject has always fascinated me. God those men were brave. I am not a great fan of everything America has done but when they decide to do something they do it right. They don't bugger about and have endless meetings. They get on with things. The rest of the world is just way behind.

Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan :
thriller/action
retired Special Op's Operative (Chan) loses his daughter in a terrorist bomb attack in London.
attack has all the hallmarks of IRA.
Brosnan is ex-IRA, now British Minister in Ireland...
Chan seeks vengeance outside the law.
oh what a tangled web some weave....
like Jerome said...MH will like this. Ruby, do you like a good thriller or are you into other things?

I don't mind a well thought out thriller, it's horror I don't like - also not big on gratuitous violence. And I can't watch those medical things - surgeries etc. Far too squeamish!
I quite like Jackie Chan actually - for some reason. He's made some terribly slapstick rubbish but he can also be extremely funny.
Must watch this one - obviously not for laughs.

back to Big Bang Theory.
I used to know someone just like Sheldon.
that is so disturbing considering this person I know would annoy Sheldon!

finished binging the first five series of Big Bang Theory so time for a bit of a break:
Australian horror.
a huge Boar roams the outback terrorising and killing livestock and humans.
obviously they don't grow the size this one did but they are killers.
average movie at best.

currently halfway through season 7 of Big Bang Theory...still loving it!
but started supernatural/horror thriller series Stranger Things over the last couple of nights.
very Stephen King feel to it.
some similarities with Stand By Me, Dreamcatcher and hints of It,
I guess the makers were inspired by Mr King

different strokes bro
I've been into all seasons
they all run together
so I don't understand why season 2 would have been any different than season 1
were you high watching season 1?
