Watch any good films recently?
Alt: Following on from Battered's question, are you a better chef/cook that your OH?
AltAlt: I'm being sent on a 'social media' training course in a couple of weeks, any tips for not falling asleep?

I watched Stand Up Guys which was really good. Goon, Bounty Killers and The Perfect Host were fun and a film called Paranoia with Gary Oldman and Harrison Ford was one of the most excruciatingly bad films I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of films. Harrison Ford was so lethargic and unengaging it was like he was sleeping through the whole film and his performance was being powered by a potato and a few wires.
Alt: It's debatable but I'd say my potato mashing skillz put me over the top. No matter how many times I tell her she's shit at it and there are a fuckton of lumps in it she never tries to improve her method.
Altalt: Potato and wires.

Alt: Yes I am.
Altalt: Get a good night's sleep beforehand, don't drink too much, ensure you eat a good breakfast and pay attention, you might learn something.

Booooooooooring
Alt. I cook. My wife does not cook. I am glad as I don't want to die. When I came out of hospital she attempted to serve me pork chops cooked bleu because that how I like my steak.
AltAlt. Kill yourself

That slavery film: 9
The Book Thief: 7
Saving Mr Bank: 7
Gravity: Zero, although I was told afterwards it was better in 3D. Makes sense because it was one dimensional.
Cooking, I do about 60% and maybe have a slight edge.
Dunno why that has a course soz.

It was "ok"
Alt:
Yes, though bizarrely she can cook a mean rare steak even though she likes hers like shoe leather.

Two different things, you see. Different, you know. Not the same.

Found the cure in Wales. I knew the film was nearly over and they were going to beat the zombies because Brad Pitt wouldn't be seen dead in Wales.

i know this because my friend's husband did the CGI for that movie. you should see the computers in his office, ridiculous. i wouldn't have a clue what 0.1% of them do.

we use his office for writing when we want to escape their 1 year old, and it's ridiculous, trying to write with about 5 screens all in a row.

i went to a talk by the walking wounded south pole soldiers and prince harry last night, absolutely amazing.
altalt: cut a small hole in the pocket of your trousers. every time you think you're falling asleep, grab a handful of your tufty pubes and yank.
my dad's thinking of buying a classic saab, which has led me to looking up his old cars on the dvla to see if they still exist. my amazing old beetle is still alive! but someone has painted it PURPLE.

they were all blinded or amputees or some other life changing injury. the girl said that they called her "captain papercut" because she was "only a single below the knee amp".

on top of all the physical stuff, they were confident and hilarious, which is hard to do, esp in front of 600 people. it was genuinely inspiring, however cheesy that sounds

It's probably even better if your attention span isn't completely fucked by the after-effects of a migraine.

He should have got 25 years as a slave.
Alt: I am a better COOK. Although the Mrs bakes and being a sugarfree footwrong I am not overly interested in this.
Altalt. Tangers advice up there is about right. PMA FTW.

It were good, if a bit art.
Also watched the Evil Dead remake. I say "watched" I mean "turned off after about 20 minutes because it was shit".

Rotten Tomatoes gives it 62% but it also gives Captain Phillips 93% and I thought that was average.
