I am a boxing fan, I'm fascinated by these all-girl gangs in Victorian London and I like Erin Doherty
ReplyDeleteYou are? Da scandal :) I myself cannot stand any violent sport.
DeleteWhen my brother was eight, and I was ten, my Mom bought him a punching ball and two pair of boxing gloves, her only request was 'train your sister"and so he did and once i was known for what he called "my superb uppercut". Now if I try to throw a punch at someone I would probavly end up on my butt. Talking about Apple, it would take more than one show to make me indulge in more expenses. It's the same story with Viaplay, I'll only subscribe when it offers me a dozen series that strike my fancy. so far, they have four and counting. At least with Paramount I get "1883" ad loving it and then I'll move to "1923".
DeleteWhy did she request from him to train you, so that you would be able to defend yourself?
DeleteI cannot stand Harrison Ford so I gave that one a wide berth, also not a fan of Mirren. I do like that sinfully gorgeous guy that plays an Indiana Jones type of character in it, I fainted when I saw his pics in costume.... what a god.
Definitely gotta check REBUS out!
ReplyDeleteShould be fun with Dicky in the lead role.
DeleteKen Stott will always be Rebus to me but I realise that new versions of old favourites have to have their day. Funnily enough I'm reading a Rebus novel currently - there are a few shelves of books at my local launderette and I borrowed the book from there (I did seek the approval of the man who runs the launderette, I didn't just help myself). Thinking of Scots thrillers, there's never been an adaptation of any of Quintin Jardine's 'Skinner' books as far as I can tell.
ReplyDeleteHope the new version won't disappoint you.
DeleteI want to be in an all girl gang. But we’d pet kittens and learn crochet in mine. I do like the art of boxing, and took kick boxing classes for a few years. Though I never did human to human contact. Just bags. I took a self defense class where it was human contact and it made me uncomfortable putting another woman in a choke hold. I know she could kick my ass, but I didn’t want to hurt her so I didn’t do well in that class lol.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be able to do it either. Unless it is close contact with Leo Me Some Sutter.
