What TV programme are you watching?

First topic message reminder :

At the moment, it's daytime TV here. Lots of soap repeats, talk shows etc. I'm watching Emmerdale, a soap and also a repeat showing.

Mythbusters!

Casino Royale - James Bond movie starring Daniel Craig. A lot different from the spoof version that came out in the mid 60s and starred David Niven and Peter Sellers.

Jaws 3. Doesn't seem as good as the earlier Jaws movies but I guess that's often the case with sequels.

Back To The Future II.

It's been a while since I've seen Lost in Translation, I think I'm gonna watch that one.

The Fly. The version starring Jeff Goldblum.

The final was today on TV. Won by Ding Junhai, who beat John Higgins 10 - 8. A great match.

Australian Open Tennis 2010 Mens Final.
This was a repeat of the match played this morning UK time. Roger Federer beat Andy Murray in 3 straight sets. A good match that wasn't all that one-sided, though Federer always managed to go up a gear when he needed to on vital points.

Jaws 2. Not bad for a sequel.

Haven't seen that one (yet), but I know for sure that I cannot recommend Jaws 4 to you. Unless you like bad B-movies ofcourse. Or Michael Caine, who's good in anything.

I'm not watching anything in particular, Comedy Central is on now.

Death Wish, starring Charles Bronson. First in a series of 5. Probably the best of the series in many ways but I like all of them.

Falling Down - stars Michael Douglas.

Good movie! I'm watching a Dutch football (or soccer) programme now called Voetbal International. Always interesting.

I just watched Game 23 of the IPL T20 Cricket Tournament. The Kolkata Knight Riders just beat the Kings XI Punjab by 39 runs.

I go for the KKR so it's nice to have a win after losing the last 3 matches.

Fringe-Season 1

Scrubs!

I've been watching some of the games and I like the format. It should also appeal to some people who wouldn't normally watch cricket.

I saw the first of today's matches Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings. Runs were 177-8, 160-6.

KKR are playing Dehli Daredevils on Monday Mar 29.

Yeah, it's been a great tournament so far, Some high scores and some really close matches.

The games are on at about 1.30am here and are only on one of the HD channels so I record them on my DVD recorders HD and watch them the next morning. You can fast forward all the mobile phone ads that way!

I remember seeing an interview with Michael Caine years ago where they asked him why he made Jaws 4, this was his response;
"You know that mansion I now own in LA? That's why I made Jaws 4!"

Haha yeah, very good reason. He does have the most memorable moment in the movie: his plane crashes in the ocean, but when he climbs aboard the Brodys boat, his clothes are completely dry again.

V: The Series (Old school version of course).

EUROVISION!!!!

French Open Tennis 3rd Round Match
L. Hewitt vs R. Nadal
Scores 3-6 4-6 3-6
A very good match which was closer than the scores suggest.

Red Heat - Arnold Schwarzenegger & James Belushi.

French Open Tennis: Mens Quarter Final Match
Nadal vs Almagro
Scores: 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (7-3) 6-4
Nadal was not at his best but seemed to go up a gear when it really mattered. This was especially true in the 2 tie-breaks and when he broke Almagro at 4-4 in the third set.

Wow.

So.... do you have like 7 tv's going at one time?!?!?!

Nah, I just watch different stuff. The top 3 on that list were only 1 episode each and it took less than 2 hours to watch the lot of them.

I don't watch any live TV at all, except for sport ands the news occasionally.
Season 2 of It's always Sunny in Philadelphia is only like 9, 22 minute episodes
Season 1 of Party Down is only 10-12, 20 minute episodes
It's not doesn't take long to get through a season if you watch 2 or 3 episodes a night from something.

Jayngo - I think if you went Full time on that whole 'trying to take over the World' thing, you'd have a much better shot at it!

Hehe. Ruling the entire world just takes too much time & energy. And since I am only a semi-genius it isn't even feasible for me to do so. Thus, I strive for only half....

I think I'll make it my life's plan to undermine you at every step. Hey, everyone needs a nemesis!

Wimbledon Tennis Men's Semi-final
Nadal vs Murray 6-4 7-6 (8-6) 6-4
A close fought high quality match. As is often the case with Nadal, he just seems to go up a gear when it matters on the really important points.
The other semi'final was Berdych vs Djokovik 6-3 7-6 (11-9) 6-3.
