Blow the bloody doors off

altarielWe went to see Daredevil last night, on Jonathan Ross's recommendation. It was rather silly but, I thought, watchable - however, I was conscious of an increasingly hostile and indeed writhing presence at my side. After a particularly daft sex scene which culminated in the camera panning up to a blazing log fire, the cries of pain emanating from my SO forced me to lean over and ask if he would like to go and do something else. He leapt on the idea like a drowning man.
So we went to Borders and bought some DVDs. Getting home, we found out that most of them had been written by Troy Kennedy Martin: we'd bought some Reilly: Ace of Spies and The Italian Job. Amazingly, none of the episodes on The Sweeney: Diamond Geezers turned out to be by TKM. (The Sweeney: Diamond Geezers is a companion volume to The Sweeney: Car Chases and The Sweeney: Bank Jobs.)
We put on The Italian Job and it was, of course, a blast (and definitely a prime example of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
msmanna's Law of the Unexplained Plot). It cost us less than the price of both cinema tickets for Daredevil. When? When will we learn?

I'd decided that it would probably in the "silly but watchable" category, even after reading about the log fire. But maybe now I'll wait for it to reach the small screen. He never was my favourite, anyway.

Enjoy the meeting...

Re: Grammar girl
Date: 2003-02-26 08:47 am (UTC)I did, and then, in a particularly cunning move, I closed my browser last night before posting my reply! I sometimes get an Alt-F4 frenzy on me when about to go home. I've lost all kinds of stuff like that. Will try again real soon now!
Borders doesn't close till late, thank Christ.
It's his fault that they now close at 10.00 is it? Thought so. Good idea, but having been in meetings most of the day, I'm in guilt mode about having done almost zero real work. I'm promising myself a trip into town tomorrow, when I can pick up some of the new DVDs as well. (Btw, is it next week that we get Angel Season 3??!)
