We've recently gained some new free to air tv channels, namely 7 'mate' (which is frankly a take off of Dave in the UK) and Nine Gem. 'Mate' shows mainly shows along the lines of 'That 70s Show', 'Scrubs', 'Family Guy', 'American Dad' and 'My Name is Earl. Generally, great favourites with both the husband and myself. Gem, on the other hand, didn't look too promising. It specialises in old movies and shows and for the first two weeks it seemed to show nothing but 'The Virginian'.
It redeemed itself last week however, by showing 'Swallows and Amazons'. I was converted! This week it went even better and showed 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers'* So, I wait eagerly to see what gem they have on next. I'm sure that, amongst all the dross, will be another movie I haven't seen in years - and I can't wait!
Unfortunately, today's treat has been being made to watch not only Jurassic Park, but 'The Lost World' as well and I've just been treated to the sight of someone's lip being chewed off by mini velociraptors. Yay.
*this celebration was slightly muted by the fact I recorded the repeat on early on a Saturday morning and the husband did not realise that I actually meant to record that 'silly looking western sort of movie' and turned it off. When I pointed out it was a musical, he said that no-one was singing in the bit that he saw, which means he saw the only 2 minutes of the whole thing where no-one bursts into song or nicely choreographed dancing (or chopping wood, or dumping snow on someone). Anyway...
