Humm. Mrs is prepping for a small children's Halloween party. I said this is probably a smidge too sinister for a bunch of 3 year-olds. #Halloween

The Living Daylights (1987) - Amazon Prime

No quips, no double entendres this is serious stuff now Timothy Dalton is doing the Bond thing.

Everything about this film is just OK but forgettable. Even the title music by Ah-Ha is average at best. #filmsky #amazonprime

66666.6 miles on the car dash. Not sure that is a good omen for my impending visit to Sainsbury's Local. 😈📟

Unreal Tournament (PS2 2001 EU) Picked this up a while ago to see how it compares to the PC version.

Pleasantly surprised, still very fluid and looks good but not as crisp as the PC version and bots not quite the same as lots of real opponents. There is local multiplayer 1-4.

Solid 7/10

Tonight's film was Monuments Men (2014) The A-list cast deliver a forgettable tale of a WW2 team sent to retrieve/save historically significant works of art. 2/5

Just watched I, Tonya (2017) randomly saw it on BBC iPlayer.

Sports biographical drama (darkly comic??) knew nothing about the story beforehand. Margot Robbie and cast on top form. Highly recommend.

Asking for a friend.

Been up since the early hours so loaded up one of my old favourites Sid Meier's Colonization (1994).

Unit/resource micromanagement at it's tedious best.
