quote: ORIGINAL: warspite1 I watched Valkyrie again yesterday. No idea to what extent it is a historical representation of the facts, but regardless, on second viewing it remains a thoroughly enjoyable film to watch. It's generally factually correct but I didn't think it's very good and Cruise does a poor job of representing Stauffenberg. The critics generally agree. A much better film on the subject is this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stauffenberg_(film) Cheers, Neilster

A much better film on the subject is this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stauffenberg_(film) Cheers, Neilster warspite1 I am sure they could have got many better choices for the lead role. Perhaps the subject matter of the film (hardly likely to guarantee a box-office hit with audiences today) meant that the producers needed a name to ensure it wasn't a commercial flop? But Cruise, although a bit light-weight, is not imo a bad actor - in fact he's very watchable. It's just that in comparison with the likes of Branagh, Stamp, Nighy, Hollander, Wilkinson etc he doesn't quite cut the mustard - but I don't think his performance distracts in any way from the film. I haven't seen the version you mention (although would certainly like to) but I read the reviews on IMDB and interestingly it is less well rated (small no. of raters though) than Valkyrie, and some of those giving it high marks seem to do so either because Tom Cruise is not in it and/or 'real'? German actors are.

I'll say it's in the first 1/3 of episode 1. Any takers? And at what odds? warspite1 Do you mean beeeewwbs? Well there probably won't be much time for naughty bits once the white walkers roll into town, so yes, maybe they will get that in early (fnarr, fnarr). Point of order. I sincerely hope that I have not been misspelling that staple, that mainstay British expression of lewdness, innuendo and indecent thought about all things naughty. Have I? [X(] ETA: According to Oxford Dictionaries online, either spelling is acceptable. Whew! [:)] https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/fnarr_fnarr

Been watching a few of the Seconds from Disaster series - The Kings Cross fire, Columbia Space Shuttle and The Kursk submarine. Very well done documentaries.

Poldark Series 3 is hotting up nicely. Poor Morwenna has finally married the hideous Reverend Whitworth who is about to show his true colours.... lumme! Meanwhile Fearless concludes tomorrow. A classy show so far, let's hope the ending doesn't disappoint. Then its the biggy, Game of Thrones starts tomorrow - really looking forward to that one [:)].

I have a great idea for the Dr. Who Christmas special. He tries to stop a war between a race of misunderstood cold loving skeletal creatures and some bloodthirsty hot blooded nobles with swords and dragons. To assist the Dr's regeneration, there is a young woman with unique identity shifting skills...oh wait, she's already been on Dr. Who. Well, there is this other young woman named Clara...

I would say that if the original was better than this production then it would have been extremely good because this new version is excellent [:)].

GoT Spoiler Alert Great to have GoT back! [:)] The first episode was minus the usual violence (although the opening scene was good for getting the series 7 body count up and running) However there were no beeeewwbs and too much of the extreme language. They are obviously using that less sparingly this time around and there's no real need for that imo. Clegane's character continues to evolve - his sorrow when coming across the father and daughter he'd met previously (series 5 or 6?) was touching - and I actually find myself rooting for the guy [X(]

So yes, we have the pantomine villains like Joffrey and Ramsey, but in the main the characters are more nuanced - even the good ones have their faults and the bad ones have their positives. I actually like the characters of Cersei and Jaime [:)]

Wheeler Dealers. Will check out the new season, but without Edd China, doubt it will be worth it.

Cersei was my favourite in the books. Looking from outside, she was like stark raving mad, but always when reading through her POV it all made perfect sense [:)]
