'Control Z' trailer

A Mexican 'Veronica Mars' knock off. So much glass, a hacker and I'll watch.

Best Line:

“I observe.”

'China Beach' opening credits

Who recalls this show? Robert Picardo blighted this show with his foul presence.

'Ravenous' trailer

A French Canadian zombie film. No. Guns and a thing.

Mmmm.

Extra crunchy sea salt & black pepper crisps – okay.

Gluten free cashew, dark chocolate and cherry nut bar – nice.

Potato gratin – nice.

Soft cheese with feta & kalamata olives – yum.

Mint collection – yum.

I want an oyster perpetual date just 31 in 18ct white gold watch. I want a Louis Vuitton stellar times sapphire, emerald, diamond, platinum and white-gold planete bleve necklace. I want Elizabeth Gage blue moonstone, diamond and gold earrings. I want Agent Provocateur Mirabelle lingerie. I want a Patek Philippe rose-gold watch. I want a wax candlestick.

RIP Frankie.

I palpably loathe my ex. My ex = most disappointing. My ex asbsented himself. My ex has an attendant lack of remorse. My ex = selfish bastard. My ex caused a considerable negative impact. I feel profoundly sad and my ex has a dismissive attiude. He's morally indedensible. My ex didn't give me the bleak courtesy of an explanation after his utterly unforseen and inexplicable ghosting. My ex is pestilential and capriciously malevolent. My ex = appallingly cruel. One feels bleak, sad. My ex won't reinsert himself in my life – my relationship was invaribaly doomed. My ex = unsentimental and caused anguish and frustration. My ex had savage indifference. My relationship did not self expire. My ex cruelly abandoned me. There is no closeness or concern.

Recall 'Point Pleasant' or 'The Pretender'?

Who saw 'The Hours', 'The Last Supper' (1995), 'Naked' or 'Strapless'?

What is burnt uda cream? What are onion straws?

When will Cineworld reopen?

I cleared out 24 tapes. 📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼

Rewatched 'The Last Witch': how did Alice get out of jail? What became of Miranda's lodger? What is with the knife? What became of Alice's baby? How did the Jane possessed dog find Alice? Didn't Kate have broken bones after the accident? Why was Jane a far more powerful witch than Alice? It was okay. There were belligerent manouvres, a dreadful plight and a grim feeling. There were sourer moments and Alice was a chaotic presnece and caused awful circumstances. Maimie McCoy and her porn queen name was in this.

I'll review 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 12' and 'Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'.

On 'Hollyoaks': this was a classic repeat that featured teens in swimwear and were TPTB intent on seriousness. Max is a bad friend to OB. Izzy and Chloe go to a spa. WHO ARE THEY? There was rampant vulgarity and no Kazan-like-grit. Or grim possibility.
