Watched Mr. Bean goes on Holiday last night. We've never watched a Mr. Bean movie and we were all really giggling over it. The end dragged out a bit, but all good fun.

just watched the woman in black [daniel radcliffe] very intriguing and a little creepy at times
And in Heather's case, there were sometimes Third Thoughts and Fourth Thoughts, although these were quite difficult to manage and sometimes led her to walk into doors

Right, so.. "at the theatre?" I'm asking if she saw it at the theatre; 'cos it's new.

Tonight I went to see Spamalot at the theatre - it was great! :D Even though I don't really like musicals, this one was quite all right - despite the horrible hungarian song translations (thankfully they subtitled it in english ;) ) But the talking parts were creatively humorous and really Monty Python ;) Ow, and there even was a song about Hungarians! :shock:

And friday I watched My week with Marilyn, which I also enjoyed because it wasn't your average biography movie, incuding the ow-so-horrible-childhood and her "tragic death" - it was just Marilyn, the way she was... I guess...

It was on in London Theatre land; I don't know if it is still on. Apparantly it was really scary!

If the film looks good I might go. Saw it on tele a few years back (all alone) and spent ages before I dared put the light out when I went to bed!

Watched the first episode of Sherlock Holmes last night and enjoyed it. They only have 3 episodes on Netflix though! :? What's up with that?

If you mean the Benedict Cumberbatch/Martin Freeman version of Sherlock, then there are only 3 episodes in the series.

Each one is 90 minutes long, so is in effect a movie.

British shows don't have long series (seasons) like you guys - thirteen is the max, I think, whereas US shows can be 22-24 episodes long.

I believe British television makers would say quality over quantity! :mrgreen:

Yep, I guess that's the one. Didn't realize there were two. There are two right? One of them has been running for a few seasons?

Well, I'm looking forward to watching the other two episodes and it's good to know now that there aren't others. Really love Dr. Watson!

I did figure out that our seasons are longer while I was watching Being Human (UK). I thought originally that I was going to be able to watch only the first two seasons, then noticed it was all three! Nothing at all wrong with quality over quantity. :D

Cool, I've only seen the first film, the one set in LA. There are only 2 movies but LOTS of half hour shorts that ran for 19 episodes between 1990-95

+ an animated series which was more kid friendly, as the films also are, in 2002-3 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280277/combined
