Apparently this would be classed as a war crime today I read somewhere ? I suppose flooding a valley would kill plenty of civilians.
What film did you watch last night?

Excellent film that set off the TV series - albeit with a few tweaks to the characters.

Didn't know there was a series, I'll have to check it out.

Was on the iplayer. I happened across the first episode and I couldn't work out the accent - I thought it was one of the remote scottish islands to begin with !

I don't recall the bit in Star Wars where the rebels have to develop a special bomb to destroy the Death Star

They may have used bog standard proton torpedoes but only when the correct amount of Force was applied would it behave in the required manner.
Pink Floyd's The Wall - first time I've seen this accompanyment to an album I love.
An engaging and unflinching study of the sorry protagonist's battle with dysfunctions stemming from childhood illness, an absent father and domineering mother. Very good if pretty heavy going..

I originally saw the movie back in the day, week of release at Odeon Leicester Square. Jeez it was loud.

I guess that's appropriate - the whole thing is pretty visceral..
Bohemian Rhapsody
Not normally my kind of film, and I was never a big Queen fan, but thought I'd give it a go anyway.
And I'm glad I did, an excellent film that those of a certain age will have the odd reminisce to as each track is performed.
8/10.
Edit: forgot to add, sometimes when I'm watching a film I'll be on my phone playing Candy Crush as I watch, this time it was that good that I didn't touch my phone once. 😊

Both the Jack Reacher films - 5/10
Not normally my cup of tea, but I got the first book in the series as part of a 'mystery purchase' at The Works (pay £1, get a book which could be anything). These really aren't my thing at all, I always feel that they're books for people who don't actually like reading. But whatever, I'm about half way through, checked the synopsis of the first film - it's based on a different book - and watched.
It's just every action cliche rolled into one. And while there's nothing wrong with that, it's not even that well done, trying to be all tough and gritty, with a few throwaway one-liners, but ultimately failing.
The second one, Never Go Back, is essentially a remake of the first film. There's even an identical escape sequence and several very similar fight scenes. Albeit with the 'twist' of a prospective child.
There's a TV series, which hell mend me, I'm going to watch when I've finished the book.

Someone worked out Jack Reachers travelling expenses and military pension to see if the lifestyle was viable.
Living expenses are $30,000 per year , paying no tax or health insurance.
That requires savings of $550,000.
15 years of military service does not ensure a pension.
Maybe he shoplifts.

More wheels than sense
The first time I watched that I'd had a few Liberty Cap's ... very intense.
Yeah, not sure that's ideal viewing tbh!
