"The Killing III"

You should definitely check out "The Wire", which was the previous HBO show by the creators of "Treme". "The Wire" was one of the Top 5 tv shows of all-time, in my opinion. Set in Baltimore, no less. Splendid cast. Incredible writing and storylines.
I'm currently on my 3rd viewing of "The Wire", that's how good I think it is. I've never known a show with so many great characters.
I watch "Treme" too. It still has that quality, but the subject matter isn't as interesting for me.
Reading some of the IMDB comments on "Treme" I noticed a lot of mention/kudos about "The Wire".
I can't praise "The Wire" enough. This is a classic scene from Season One that won't spoil anything for you if you decide to watch it.

I don't no why post got deleted. I was nothing to do with that argument, so here it is again.
No, they were named after a black demon-ish shape at the end of one of the member's beds.
That gave them the inspiration for the song "Black Sabbath". Geezer Butler got the name from the movie.
The black shape incident happened while they were recording their fifth album.
Their name was already Black Sabbath long long before that happened.
You're thinking of a separate incident. It supposedly happened while they were still called Earth.

This might sound crazy..but, the story behind how the band got their name is enough to turn me off.
What, the fact that the band is named after this film?

Now you're talking! Great movie...although not for everybody. Definitely not for kids. Took my godson who just turned 17 and loves all the horror/gory movies, and even though he liked it, he was sort of creeped out, he said.
Definitely not for everyone! Great performances by the cast though. I'll definitely watch it again when it comes on Sky Movies.
Hey Ady...can I interest you in a KFC drumstick?Mmmmmm !!

Ady, your image in your last post comes out as a question mark. You may need to repost.
Cheers, Strider.

The Walking Dead, Season 3, Episode 4
So much better than the first two seasons so far.

I recently watched The Wrestler again for the 5th time. I posted that movie here way back when. Some love it, some hate it. I thought it was great. Gives a good inside look at how strong the human spirit is. It's dark, deep and real.
Anyway, on Netflix I watched a B flick (grindhouse movie) called "Hobo with a shotgun":....loved it!
"The Wrestler" is on LoveFilm Instant, so I might give it a watch sometime.
"Hobo with a Shotgun" looks like fun, so I added to my queue. I did a bit of research and I see that like "Machete", it started out as just a trailer for the Tarantino / Rodriguez 'Grindhouse' double-bill.

Another CLASSIC!
"Do you expect me to talk?"
"No Mr. Bond. I expect you to die."
I'm really enjoying watching them again, maybe more than when I was younger.
Jimmy Page played on the soundtrack sessions, too!I never knew that, cheers!

I rented "In Cold Blood" a few years ago. I was so impressed with it, I bought it a few days later, along with a copy of the book.

I was born in 1962. I have not known a world without the Beatles, Rolling Stones, or James Bond.
Eatlier this year, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Dr. No", the American Cinematheque screened every James Bond movie made...from 1962's "Dr. No" to 2008's "Quantum of Solace". I didn't see every one, mainly concentrating on the '60s-70s. Saw a couple of the Pierce Brosnan's too, and was struck by how much a cartoon they had become. They reminded me of the Joel Schumacher Batman movies.
What was a surprise, given how much the fans rejected him at the time, was how much I loved the lone George Lazenby film, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". This is one Bond movie that really holds up and hits you on an emotional level. Of course, it helps that it also stars Diana Rigg(Emma Peel from "The Avengers" tv show), one of the few actresses to hold their own in a Bond movie amongst the boys and toys.
Poor George Lazenby...he was cursed by having the impossible task of following Sean Connery, but his Bond is very human and interesting in his own write. I think you'll be very surprised, Ady, when you get to "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in your Bond-o-thon.
It's been a long time since I watched the Bond films (about 15 years), but the three that stood out the most to me at that time were "From Russia With Love", "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and "The Spy Who Loved Me".
I think it's a great shame that Lazenby never played Bond again.
Meanwhile, the latest Daniel Craig Bond opens tomorrow...and I have already had several people who saw an advance screening of "Skyfall" tell me it is the...Best. Bond. Movie. Ever.
Well, following the disappointing "Quantum of Solace", I have no doubt it is an improvement over that film. But the best Bond film of all-time? That seems a stretch. I do want to see it as the trailer looks good:
I've heard nothing but good things about it. I won't be watching it until I've finished watching all the others, including the two unoffcial ones, "Casino Royale" (1967) and "Never Say Never Again".

Ady, you've been watching a lot of movies lately, which suggests lots of free time. Are you okay? How's the back?
I'm good thanks, Strider. I like to try and make the most of my LoveFilm account and Sky Movies when I can. I work nights so there's always time to watch a film in the afternoons. My back is not too bad at the moment, touch wood!
"Not since Seven has a deadly sin been this terrifying."
Ha ha, it's nowhere near as good as "Seven" !
