I watched a Swedish film called Border. One of the weirdest films I've seen which has a touch of Eraserhead about it. The concept (which I won't reveal in case of spoilers) seems on paper ridiculous but I thought this film was actually really good and I really liked it.

The new episode of 'Still Game'. It's just not as good as the first six series.

I reckon his turn in King Arthur by Guy Ritchie has put an end to his career as a bankable leading man.

He's at least as good as Henry Cavill.

Cavill has a consistent accent at least.

Watched DC's Titans. Despite the blood and the swearing, it still felt like a cartoonish show to me. Still, it helped to fill my weekend. Am currently re-watching Game of Thrones s7. Won't take me long.

Watched 2 no-nonsense revenge thrillers over the weekend.

The first was 'Peppermint' starring Jennifer Garner. She loses her husband and daughter in a shooting ordered by a mexican cartel. After justice is not done, she disappears off the radar for 5 years before returning with some nice new lethal talents. She then uses these talents to kill the f*** out of everyone associated with the cartel, dishing out her own justice

The second was 'Polar', based on a graphic novel/comic and starring Mads Mikkelsen as an international hitman (the indestructible John Wick type), about to retire to an 8 million dollar pension fund. His boss orders his assassination attempt which doesn't go well. Mads isn't happy and proceeds to kill the f*** out of everyone associated with the assassination attempt.

I could watch these types of film all day!

Bohemian Rhapsody. Played like a made for tv film from the 70's. Entirely overrated. It was enjoyable but inconsequential, imo. Malek was good. Everyone else acted as if they were in a after school made for tv special. Guess I was expecting more.

Later, I happened upon The Fugitive while scanning the channels right before bed. Ended up watching the whole thing. It's a very '90s' film, but I really enjoyed it. Love Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones.

Watched the Alan Partridge thing. It made me chuckle a couple of times, but I think I was expecting too much.

Same, although as I watch it again I reckon I will laugh even more as I do with the other series' he's done. I particularly enjoyed the no-hands toilet scene.

Cringed my way through it which is textbook Partridge. Looking forward to episode 2.

I enjoyed it, but the Coogan/Gibbons brothers version of Alan has never been quite as good as the Coogan/Baynham/Iannucci version. Still, it's never been quite so bad as to f*** the character up entirely either. As to the show: Alan used to be an amalgam of many hapless presenters but he seems now to be a pure Richard Madeley facsimile. High point: "Clunt/Fluck", low point: Sidekick Simon's utter lack of comprehension with Twitter on a touch screen.
