What are you watching

I don’t mind films that are hard to watch ( although I did give up on The Deer Hunter the other night; I felt that, as I’d never seen it I needed to watch it as part of my cinematic education, but I gave up and watched Amandaland instead) but some hard to watch films are boring. I didn’t like There Will be Blood. In my youth I remember being transfixed at the cinema watching Ken Russell films. I’m trying to think of the one that made me feel numb right from the very beginning. The witches or something? Of course, it was The Devils….

I’m loving Amandaland! Four deep into the series via iPlayer.

I’ve finished Amandaland and am now watching a series called The Cockfields on BBC catchup which I missed first time round. Gentle humour similar to The Detectorists but, unlike that I think the humour would only appeal to old people like me. A nice folky soundtrack, too. Beth Orton I think.
 
Yes, I was just thinking his 'misery guts' character would be under instruction from the writer or director.

Apart from thinking he is a good actor, I've met him several times and he is incredibly humble, kind and warm-hearted.
 
I’ve been rather taken with Ben Rufus Greens character ( he was so sweet and funny) in The Cockfields and have found out that he has is on utube in something called The Washing Up Club. I’m just watching an episode in which they have a power cut and Ray’s got a LED head light like mine. I’m beginning to worry if I really get on my kids nerves on the rare occasion that they stay with me given that I’m a fussy worrier. It was a bit of a shock watching series two only to find that two of the actors were different. Didn’t realise that Kim Catrall was initially chosen to play the mother. Can’t imagine her playing that role. Can’t seem to find the Christmas special on catchup. ( now going to get stuck into Everyone Else Burns. And Derry Girls, which I’ve never seen. It’s part of my Trump antidote strategy).
