On the couch today feeling ill after last nights shenanigans and what comes on the telly ?

Tora! Tora! Tora!

Man there is a God!
That is the perfect hangover material. with a big glass of Irn Bru.

Sorted!

Aye  , I watched The Longest Day the other week with a hangover...total chill. 

p.s. I watched a documentary last year about Pegasus Bridge and the film got it pretty much spot on.
There was an old veteran talking about it's capture and it really was pillar to pillar fighting.
Also the bloke who played Major Howard ("hold until relieved, hold until relieved") was actually there.

hey...I hope Zulu is on tomorrow.   


(I tried to watch Chitty Chitty Death Bang the other week and recapture some childhood Christmas memories, but I only got as far as the Truly Scrumptious song.....so about ten minutes it lasted  )

I watched Tora! today, couldn't stop laughing at the bit where the plane which was attacking Pearl Harbor and one of the Admiral (I think it is) said "Get the number of that plane, I want to report it for safety violation", the next scene saw the plane drop a bomb on the airplane...and their faces

No Zulu, but it's still working out a treat.

ITV4 is running some old John Mills movies, so it's Morning Departure (old sub hits a mine) then Dunkirk, and I wouldn't be surprised if Ice Cold in Alex isn't in the queue either.
It's a bit basic, but they're the right movies at the right time for chillaxing.  

-edit- Shit, the end is a bit hardcore.  
-edit-edit- Dunkirk starts with a 'based on real life events and footage which some viewers may find distressing' warning.  Hardcore II by the look of it (I know the ending though )

Zulu on blu ray is stunning btw

OMG.
My folks took me to see that in Darwin's only cinema at the time, a building without a roof, a big screen and all these canvas chairs for the punters. I remember getting smacked in the head by this huge cockroach (they are fucking huge in the tropics) it flew in through the projector light and alighted on my face, my dad grabbed it and introduced it to his boot heal to much applause by fellow appreciaters of the fine art of cinema.

Shame it wasn't Scarface you'd gone to watch.
