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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
