Angel is still going well. Not as good as last weeks episode but still very solid. 24 kinda took a down turn in the last 5 minutes. Still that whole cell scene could have been so<\/b> much more interesting.<\/p>\n
When we first started to get Sky TV in Dublin in the very late 80s and the early 90s we didn’t get the movie channels as a standard package. But we got Sky One and they would run ads for the movies on the movie channels on a regular basis. I saw an ad one night for a submarine movie, and it blew me away. I wanted to see it. Over the course of a week or so I saw the ad many times and each time made me want to see the movie even more. This was my first introduction to “The Hunt For Red October<\/a>“. There was no way I could, we didn’t have a VCR and never signed up for the movie channels. While I’m not exactly sure I believe that I read the book shortly after that and only saw the movie on normal tv a few years later. It stands out as one of my favourite movies and indeed book. Since then I’ve read most if not all of Tom Clancy’s novels. Some are better than others, but the movie adaptations have generally been disappointing with “Red October” being the only exception. Anyways the point behind all this is that it’s on at the moment. I was bashing around after “Law and Order” and found it so am quite enjoying it. It’s a movie that seems to age very well. Its also really good to see James Earl Jones<\/a>. I’ve always enjoyed his performances and he does a damn fine job as Greer; “Now, you understand Commander, that torpedo did not self-destruct. You heard it hit the hull, and I..was never here”<\/i> <\/p>\n On the subject of “CSI<\/a>” and “Law and Order<\/a>” are my guilty pleasures on Saturday nights recently. I use to watch “Law and Order” but dropped off because of bad scheduling a long time ago. While Saturday night is not usually good I’m managing to see it every now and again. CSI on the otherhand is repeated on Mondays and that’s how I got into it. It’s become a must watch over the past few weeks that I’ve been following it.<\/p>\n Speaking of guilty pleasures, I have also started following “Teachers<\/a>” on Wednesday nights on C4. It’s nothing special at all, typical drama comedy thing, but it’s damn sarcastic and I like that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Angel is still going well.
