The tv is broken , which can only be a good thing.
So last night was a bit of a marathon of film waiting via laptop.
I sobbed at Fernanda Montenegro's performance in Central Station...thought that My Best Friend's Wedding looked ever so slightly dated and lost myself in How to train a dragon
Today I am off to Chester with my sister in law then it's a barbecue with the affable despots .
No film watching today
Fernanda
Julia
Enjoy Chester and hope the rain keeps off for that barbeque. And if Scotch eggs are on offer then have a couple. (one for you and one for mex)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day in Chester. I have never been there. x
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day John.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day out and barbecue. Keeping busy is good. x
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for some video with that YouTube, but only music. Hey ho...
ReplyDeleteAlso, H.I. had left the sound up full blast and the opening chord almost made me fall off the stool.
DeleteIf Winnie comes along to the barbecue you can have a hot dog. Just cut a bloomer in half and place within.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day John.
ReplyDeleteI loved How to Train a Dragon. Enjoy your weekend, John.
ReplyDeleteLOL - I was so confused by the captions under your photos - then realized they are backwards :) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooooo !!!!!! Not a broken tv !!!!!! At least you have your laptop to view things on .... phewwwww !!
ReplyDeleteI’ve seen My Best Friend’s wedding so many times ..... you’re right .... it is looking dated ..... I think it’s the clothes !!! Nice to have a full day with friends and relatives . XXXX
You're watching How to train a dragon? Looking for ideas on how to round up that crafty Irene?
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend-Enjoy the BBQ and fantastic people.
I never got on with My Best Friend's Wedding. It's not often in a romcom that you are asked NOT to support the wishes and hopes of the star. It confused me.
ReplyDeleteI’ve never seen Central Station. I’ll have to look it up.
ReplyDeleteIt’s no fun when the tv breaks but thank goodness for laptops! Have you watched 50 first dates? I love that movie! Enjoy your Saturday! Gabs
ReplyDeleteWe're busy laying turf ... in the pouring rain. The grass might like it, I don't ☹
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Chester and at the BBQ.
When I was a kid, my mother cut the plug off the television set because my brother and I came home from school one quarter with mediocre grades. We lived without it for about six months, and it's amazing how productive you can be when you're NOT watching TV!
ReplyDeleteMy spoiled rotten kids would have had mental breakdowns if I had done that.
DeleteI wish I had lol
I always seem to get this movie mixed up with The Next Best Thing for some reason. Me thinks Rupert Everett throws me off. I enjoyed both movies though.
ReplyDeleteI think Rupert Everett is gorgeous mistress maddie x
Delete"How to Train Your Dragon" is a delightful movie. There's a sequel and a final film that's coming out soon as well.
ReplyDeleteHow To Train Your Dragon - there's a film to laugh and cry at (and the sequel). I can't wait for the next one!
DeleteHiccup looks like jake gyllenhaul
DeleteI nearly went to a barbeque this week but it became an indoor affair as rain forecast. Then the sun came out and we moved outside after lunch x

ReplyDeleteI like Julia and Rupert and Cameron (and, for that matter, Susan, whom I have fond memories of from Rich Man, Poor Man II) but that movie just doesn't do it for me. I don't mean to sound dated myself, but I never bought the film's central premise. Some great individual scenes, though, especially everybody singing "Say a Little Prayer" in the restaurant.
ReplyDeleteI adored the singing in the restaurant with the lobster staff waving their claws....
