Best musical rediscovery
Haven’t done much musical archaeology this year…didn’t even listen to much Morrissey (or buy his new album)

Nothing stand-out..Philomena, American Hustle, Captain Phillips and Gravity were the 2013 hits I saw on telly and were all good. It’s been kid’s films at the cinema so Frozen or the Lego Movie there.

Revelation

Worst purchase / disappointment
Morrissey’s autobiography…finished it this year and after a promising first 100 pages or so it descends into drivel.
Best child related thing
No longer having to deal with (daytime) nappies – some bum wiping still required.

The Winning Thing You’d Most Recommend Your Fellow Judges to Own/Have/Consume/Do
I know at least two of you are “doing” Breaking Bad…so I’ll say try and watch True Detective.
I see TD has popped up on Sky box-sets so I may give it a go in the New Year...
ReplyDeleteThere's a scene in the early episodes you may want to see again (and again) but not with members of your extended family.
ReplyDeleteI have now watched all of TD and it is very good. Even if the ending doesn't live up to what has gone before. No idea what scene you are referring to, but there is a scene in episode three which features some tremendous hooters!
ReplyDeleteYep the ending is a bit of a police drama cliche with the superhuman strength villain especially so. But it's a hell of a ride up until that point.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it was the hooters. There's a tremendous gif of the "moment of reveal" over and over again...mesmerising.
