chaliepud Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 I recorded Luther and I'll watch that later today. Episode one, season 1. Idris Elba. Sigh.... You're in for a treat, Luther is fantastic, but it's pretty scary at times so prepare yourself! Quote
frankie Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Oy! Yup. Totally my goof! Tut tut! :lol: Finishing Andrew Zimmern's Bizzare Food America. This episode, he's in Peru. Frog smoothie. Excuse me while I go gag. I recorded Luther and I'll watch that later today. Episode one, season 1. Idris Elba. Sigh.... Hear hear! You're in for a treat, Luther is fantastic, but it's pretty scary at times so prepare yourself! I've been curious about the show for a while now... But I can't imagine Idris with any kind of British accent after having seen him in The Wire Quote

frankie Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 But he's British!!! I know!!!! That's exactly why it's so odd I first saw him on The Wire and he pulls his US accent so well off, I never suspected he was anything but, until I saw him in some documentary, visiting Finland and talking about cars ans race driving. His own accent threw me off (as well as his toples upper bod in the sauna bit... ) The same with Gwyneth Paltrow: always thought she was a Brit, as the first thing I saw her in was Sliding Doors.

Athena Posted June 8, 2016 Author Posted June 8, 2016 The same with Gwyneth Paltrow: always thought she was a Brit, as the first thing I saw her in was Sliding Doors. What did you think of Sliding Doors? I have the DVD, but I haven't watched it yet. Quote
frankie Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 What did you think of Sliding Doors? I have the DVD, but I haven't watched it yet. I love that movie!! It's one of my all-time favorites I used to have it on VHS, but now I don't have a copy. I've been wanting a DVD version of it for ages but haven't run into one anywhere I love it! So yeah... Highly recommended Quote

pontalba Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I loved Torchwood by the end. We are into the second season now, and yeah, it's great! What did you think of Sliding Doors? I have the DVD, but I haven't watched it yet. It's been a while, but I loved it. Don't remember all details now, but I do remember really liking it a lot. Quote
Little Pixie Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 We are into the second season now, and yeah, it's great! John Barrowman is practically a National Treasure over here. Quote
Athena Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 It's been a while, but I loved it. Don't remember all details now, but I do remember really liking it a lot. Good to hear ! We've been watching CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (Las Vegas) season 4, but this season doesn't have subtitles so it's harder for me to watch (by accident we bought a US edition without subtitles, in the UK). We're almost finished with season 4. I look forward to starting on season 5 because those DVDs do have subtitles. Quote
Virginia Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 I do love CSI! I only watch Las Vegas one though. Right now I'm watching Layover with Anthony Bourdain. Its a travel show. Much edgier than Rick Steve's and Andrew Zimmern. Today we're in Dublin! Quote
Anna Begins Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 Much edgier than Rick Steve's That's like apples and oranges lol. Quote
Athena Posted June 11, 2016 Author Posted June 11, 2016 I do love CSI! I only watch Las Vegas one though. Me too! I never really liked CSI: Miami or CSI: NY. Quote
Virginia Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) That's like apples and oranges lol. Ah, yes. But they are both fruit. Samantha Brown and Max Rudy are in the same category as Steves but I wanted to show just how different his program was in comparison to Bourdain. Edited July 4, 2016 by Virginia Quote
pontalba Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 Last night we watched Painted Lady with Helen Mirren. It could have been better, but it was Helen Mirren after all, so enjoyable. Quote
frankie Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 I'm sick, and bored out of my mind. I don't feel like reading or watching any TV shows, so what do I do? I watch football Irland vs. Sweden. Quote
Athena Posted June 14, 2016 Author Posted June 14, 2016 We finished watching CSI: Crime Scene Investigation season 4 last night. Onwards to season 5! Quote
shirley Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) They are showing Sleepy Hollow on Sky from episode 1 so yeah I finally get to see this series. They are also showing Relic Hunter I have seen all of this but does not hurt to watch again. I have started watching the Twilight Saga watched Twilight and New Moon waiting for weekend to continue with Eclipse don't think I ever watched the two part Breaking Dawn so thought it was best to watch it from the beginning. What is the opinion on DC Legends - I wasent sure at first but the last few episodes I have found bits funny. The last one this week hope it is good. Edited June 14, 2016 by shirley Quote
