For example I like going in the Ocean. this may surprise some as it doesn't fit my uptight persona.

I've been known to binge watch numerous episodes of Antiques Roadshow.All in the futile hope of seeing someone getting their First Edition A Clockwork Orange appraised so I can find out what mine is worth :-(

If only there was some sort of global electronic information system you could consult instead of having plough through all those tedious programmes. :-(

Nothing I do doesn't fit my personality because whatever it is is by its nature part of my personality.

Do you mean what do I do that others would think doesn't fit my personality? Dunno. I suppose you'd have to ask other people about that, really.

Sometimes I drink tea.

I tried.The price ranges hugely ie from 500.00 quids to 4 grand monies.It's hard to tell into which category it falls into :-(

You see if I were asked about you, I would say that the most incongruous thing about you is your taste for bland ITV Sunday evening fodder like Morse and whatnot. But naturally you see nothing incongruous about at all. It's all about the gap between our understanding of ourselves and others' - usually faulty - perceptions and prejudices.

Mind you, I do find the tea thing odd.

Bland? Bland? Morse, bland? Are you diseased in the frontal lobe?

bland ITV Sunday evening like Morse

Bland? Bland? Morse, bland? Are you diseased in the frontal lobe?

Yeah. It's all a bit beige, isn't it? No guns, drugs, sex or extreme violence. Just gimpy old Morse gimping grumpily with that dough-faced fella from Auf Wiedersehen Pet and then someone in a college is found to have done a murder or whatever. You sit there in a sort of beige stupor and before you know it you're two hours nearer the grave.

I had an original filum poster. I think my mum chucked it out when I left home :-( It's now for sale on eBay for £900. :banghead:

I cannot even begin to address your wrongness, such is the degree of your wrong.

:yellowcard:

Exactly. Everyone knows they were originally broadcast on Tuesdays.

[Burney]

Don't get me wrong, I am not judging you for liking it. We all like a bit of bland now and again. No alarms or surprises - just sitting there wallowing in the intellectual equivalent of a sensory deprivation tank can be very comforting at times.

[Burney]

Exactly. Everyone knows they were originally broadcast on Tuesdays.

But they eventually found their spiritual home on Sundays, didn't they? Because they had Sundayness in their very DNA.

Your position reminds me of the hot spice-freak who finds all flavours except very hot & spicy to be bland. You have shattered your sensors with extreme content and find drama without such excessive tropes to be without flavour.

Your loss, tbh.

It's true, a. My televisual diet is a constant loop of ever more extreme pornography and ultra-violence. :-(

You don't like pornography.

I suppose it was being brought up on Sunday afternoon war movies that's to blame :-(
Has there been a half decent WW2 movie made in the last 10 years?

[Burney]

You don't like pornography.

Just for clarity, I think you should also acknowledge that I don't like ultra-violence either.

[Sir C]

There's some coming soon, c. Dunkirk and HhhHHh. Others also maybe.

Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of Our Fathers were OK, but a bit dull. Fury was shíte and so was Inglourious Basterds

Kermode liked thon Anthropoid jobby I believe.

Dubious about Dunkirk. Christopher Nolan can be a showy wânker imo

[Burney]

:nono: They don't win. The baddies lose because the goodies bravely run away. FACT.

[Sir C]

Dunkirk :-( The won were the baddies win :-(

Oh, I don't know c, I'm not sure we won, per se. I mean, we got some troops home and everything, but the Wehrmacht were certainly left in control of the town. Country. Continent.

No one's gone to see Anthropoid, apparently. Massive flop at the box office.

[TheCurly]

Monuments Men was awful
I like the Imitation Game though

[Burney]

I'll bet you that's almost entirely due to the name. Terrible, terrible name for a WWII flick.

Quite interested in that Girl With All The Gifts effort.

I know it's an unfashionable view, but I rather like Benedict Cucumberwumbapatch.

Zombies? Not for me, Clive.

[Burney]

Imitation Game was good but not a proper WWII movie. No shooting, tanks, Germans or Japanesers, see? Just a bunch of spods wânking on about numbers or something.

[TheCurly]

I know it's an unfashionable view, but I rather like Benedict Cucumberwumbapatch.

Indeed yes
I like the lad Tom Hardy,v good in the Krays movie,brilliant in Peaky Blinders,.

[Burney]

Zombies? Not for me, Clive.

It doesn't sound like a proper zombie movie, though. I'm more worried that they only liked it 'cos it's all diverse.

As a matter of interest,b and not a WW2 movie in sight :-(

I've only see two of those. Surely the Tolkien nonsense doesn't count because surely only human deaths count?

Dunno. It depends how faithfully you allow your public behaviour to paint the picture. For example, even people who know you well could be forgiven for finally discovering, let us say, a long-held private like or dislike of something and being surprised and describing it as "out of character".
