h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yes, that's lots of fun.

was that the second Kingsman, the one with Elton John in? That had me laughing out loud

I've seen Thor: Ragnarok today, what great fun I'd have given Chris Hemsworth an Oscar for his biceps alone

It was the first one. Although I did then watch the second one

cudos.

I need a Thor box set, for the next time it snows

Chris Hemsworth is quite a fine actor.

Films seen recently, the Vanessa Redgrave version of 'The Day Of The Triffids'.

A very different psychodrama from the 1960s version or the original Wyndham novel.

Worth the watching.

Tonight I plan to see "Every day"

Last night, Aaron Spelling's "A Cold Night's Death", featuring Robert Culp and Eli Wallach.

One of Spelling's early features, a bit scratchy and showing an Ivan Tors influence, not without a distinctive Spelling twist.

"Every Day" has originality going for it. The idea of having someone wake up in a different person's body every morning hasn't been used before, at least in the movies I've seen. Virginia Woolf's "Orlando" was kind of similar, but the new identities lasted more than one day.

Sounds a bit like Quantum Leap


Last night we watch the Clooney version of Solaris. General consensus was "At least it wasn't a long film."

So we then followed it with Ghost Rider, which is good fun but could do with more happening in it.

After Ghost Rider you could consider "Ghost Writer"

Or "Ghost story"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6265828/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_7

Or even just "Ghost"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099653/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

(Sorry if that's too much information)

But whatever you do, don't watch 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance'.

Ever.

Is that a sequal, or a cartoon spin off?

Just saw the trailer, that looks great!

Is it really that bad?

"Goat rider" is the cause of all our problems. It's a scapegoat.

A multi-Golden Raspberry Award nominated sequel. It really is terrible.

<BB<

Half the films I love of Raspberry winners, so I pay no attention to them!

Oh gods, they've basically ignored the first film for its back story.
Bad move.

Watched the first episode of the "Topper" TV series last night.

My favorite TV show back during the time it was still in production.

You mean the one with Leo G Carroll, Robert Sterling, and Anne Jefferies, not to mention the Saint Bernard? I loved that show.
