Arrival - Denis Villeneuve (2016) A multiple viewing film and an sf classic.

Agree. Both Armageddon and All Hell Let Loose are great. I'd add Nemesis : The Battle For Japan to the short list.

Half way through the six episodes. Excellent.

Disc 3 Great record, of course, but the RVG version sounds pretty awful to me.

I don't often reread novels. This one is an exception. Hi Bluesnik Are you sure the Beatles were thugs from housing estates ? Working class kids for sure but I'm not sure the facts support that idea. Thuggish would imply someone who delights in dishing out violence. I lived on such a housing estate from 1956 - 1966 and although there were a lot of lads with musical aspirations, none of them were thuggish at all. I was in Sheffield and we lived very much the same way as people in Liverpool and Manchester. Anyhow the book looks interesting. Have you read Keef's biography ?

Endeavour S06E04 Beautifully done season finale. Best new tv episode I've seen in ages.

Disc 2

I thought A Perfect Spy was his best book following the Smiley Trilogy. It was also serialized for tv and is very much recommended. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092425/ Now reading

Barry Harris set.

Naturally I dug it out after spotting a recent posting. It has an especially lovely version of Laura.

Continuing to work my way through classic tv series. I thought this would compliment Line Of Duty. Jane Tennison blazed the way for all female coppers that followed in her wake, and is still as sharp as the day she was created, with a peerless performance by Helen Mirren. The supporting cast is studded with now famous thespians . Kind of makes me throw up my hands at the banal stuff on tv these days.
