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

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
