sayjann Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Watched the original Star Wars trilogy last week. The first one is 34 years old and still a great watch. bought the whole series of films in thailand recently. know the original films from years ago but decided to see the whole series from begging to end. bummer as the the 2nd film stops with 10 minutes to go.......... but found out the end of the film on the web. but will watch the entire series from where i left off and hopefully enjoy after many decades. just watched 'dirty harry'. very dated but a great film. the 2 monologues of 'this is a magnum 44,the most powerful handgun in the world/have i fired 5 or 6 shots/do you feel lucky punk' is iconic.

Julian2 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Not really a film but I just downloaded the HBO series "Game of Thrones". Sort of a "Lord Of The Rings" with tits and bums... and very nice tits and bums at that. I've got the first four books they were based on as well in eBook format but I'll read them later so as not to spoil the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hi, Right, watched that series as well. Very good. MUCH better than the TV series they made based on Terry Goodkind's 'Wizard's First Rule' books, that was awful. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian2 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Yeah, the names are hard to follow and some of the actors look similar. I'll grab it if I see it on DVD though as the subtitles help me a lot, I'm a bit mutt and jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I also watched First Blood (the original Rambo movie) for the umpteenth time. 30 years old next year and IMHO still a great film (unlike the 2 that followed it). The film ruined a very good book. Wiki says that Kirk Douglas quit the part of Captain Trautman because they changed the plot so much. Richard Crenna took it over. Keep in mind the book was published in 1972, a very different time then the 1980’s when the movies started coming out. Read the book. It is a completely different storey TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 The film ruined a very good book. <SNIP> Read the book. It is a completely different storey TH Spot on TH. Summer of '76 was when I read it, the first "Grown Up Book" I read as a 12 year old. It was a typical British Summer Holiday, stuck in a Caravan on a Rainy day bored shitless and I was hooked from the first page to the last, it was the novel that got me into reading books. The movie was not a patch on how I saw it in my own mind whilst reading the novel and ever since I have baulked against watching movie dramatizations of good novels I have read, e.g. Tom Clancy comes to mind immediately. The reason I remember '76 Thin Lizzy "Boys are Back in Town" was getting heavy airplay on the radio that summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
