Seen Any Good Films Lately?
Bibliogryphon replied to Cowboy Ronnie's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
When I watched Death on the Nile I was constantly comparing it to the Ustinov version and it did not really match up bit I thought my judgement was clouded. I was unfamiliar with the source material for this one so thought it a better marker to judge by. I think a lot of the issues are down to dear old Agatha but it is overdone from a directorial point of view -

Just been to see A Haunting in Venice which led Mrs B to declare that I am no longer to be trusted to pick films and she is never going to see another bloody Kenneth Branagh film ever again -
Statement from Huddersfield Town It is being portrayed as something that has always been on the cards, waiting till HTFC found the right long term appointment but he signed a 1 year contract in May so I am wondering whether the less than impressive start to the season from the Terriers has focused the decision making process (as it were)

Not quite sure where this development for Colin at Huddersfield Town fits in this game

This is a very female dominated list now. -
The Formula 1 category is proving to be the most lucrative so far in this game with three players now on three hits in that category following the passing of Basil van Rooyan @Famous6Eva get their second hit overall and @Spade_Cooley who is the only player in a winning position at the moment gets a sixth hit

It doesn't bother me that I haven't heard of some of them but I like to understand why I haven't heard of them. I don't watch soaps or sports but accept that would give people a legitimate call on celebrity status but Love Island contestants and YouTube influencers leave me cold.

So .. What Do You Watch On TV?
Bibliogryphon replied to Banshees Scream's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
My wife has just finished watching a binge watch of the Tenko boxer. Surprised at how damn good this was and made me pine for the days of superior BBC dramas -
Surely from this site we should be all over the ultimate nepo-baby Bobby Brazier. After all his mum's name is still a by-word for deadpooling oppotunism

I am not doubting you. Apologies if you thought I was. I was just seeing that it was very slow at being reported. For me your expertise in this subject area is enough to convince me but I am trying to police my own deadpools with rigour and don't want to award points without the stated levels of proof applied across the board. So sorry for your loss

I was a student at the time and every sunday I would listen to the Top 40 while finishing off any outstanding work from the previous week. There was some good stuff but not necessarily the stuff that was really popular -
