Thought it was time to revisit "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" . When 'The Pacific' came out a couple of years ago I decided to watch an episode of each series alternatively .

That way you get to experience both the main areas of conflict of WW2 . Worked well too . Two really great series' and well worth a look or indeed a 2nd look . Even better in high definition if you can manage it .

Cheers

The best shows are all on the ABC:

Wide Open Road

The Slap

No.1 Ladies Detective Agency

Crownies

I don't like the modern dramas or sitcoms.

I prefer Mash or Cheers & Becker. Stuff like that.

Also the news & our planet type doco's.

I've been watching a few doco's of late. Some interesting viewing.

The first was on ABC, The Last of the Independents. It's about a third generation hardware store, Faram Bros., in Port Melbourne. It follows their last few months before closing.

King of Kong was last weeks Sunday Best. It's about Billy Mitchell's long standing Donkey Kong record and Steve Weibe's attempts to beat it. I was a bit skeptical that it would be any good, but it was riveting stuff. It was edited to be a good vs evil showdown, and I found myself willing Weibe to success.

I was put onto a series about Doomsday Preppers, people preparing for the worst. I hope it never comes to this but who knows?

Two good series are Touch (only 2 episodes so far) and Awake.

Another good doco last week on Sunday Best. American Movie follows a, for want of a better word, eccentric amateur movie maker.

The two main characters are larger than life, at times I wondered if it was truly a doco and not some cleverly scripted movie. They also reminded me of Jay & Silent Bob to some degree.

Worth a watch.

This newest season of Breaking Bad is the bomb, yo!

Seriously good viewing, the latest episode was intense.

The character development in the show is incredible, unless they f... up the ending, it'll go down as my all time favourite show.

There's a break after next weeks episode... boooooooooooooooooo

 

Breaking's ... bad?

Yes, because.... Oh, ohhh I see what you did there!

Didn't realize Season 5 was out yet.....SWEET.....

Thankyou

I've built an xbmc PC with all my TV shows and movies to watch. Just need time to actually watch them...

At first i hated Modern Family, but just recently i've watched through all episodes and it is hilarious!

Also have Game of Thrones, Homeland, Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, and Breaking Bad ready to get stuck into.

Community is another great comedy. Also have Family Guy and Seinfeld just for those times when you need to sit down for a quick laugh


The UK production of 'Inside Men' is a very good, fast paced thriller . 4 parts in series 1 (2012) .

Series 2 to be aired next year .

FYI I heard a rumour the Stones may be doing their last shows EVER in NYC in December 12-15

Tickets to "The Tongue Pit" are around 2 grand (capitalist bastards)

Rumour is Charlie has had enough.

Bill Wyman ,Ian Stewart ,and others from the past to join them.

It will be on Pay per view over here but I know you are a massive fan of TGRRBITW.

You may want to bring the trip forward.

I paid my respects to the Stones in '95 at the 'G & 2003 at Rod Laver...

That said if Mick Taylor & Bill Wyman get up to play it could be gold.

Ian Stewart died in '85 so i doubt he will be tinkering the ivories....But you never know it is the Stones.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
