The Shawshank Redemption. I used to love it but I started watching it again last week and I hated it and had to turn if off. I think it might be Morgan Freeman's smug and all-knowing voiceover that did it for me.
The same applies to Red Dwarf - whenever I catch a repeat on TV I can't believe how much I liked it in the 80s.
On a brighter note, I now fancy Sophie in series 1 and 2 of Peep Show for the first time. She is sooo Rainbow Rhythms.
I'm concerned too, but you can only stress about all of this for so long. Football has changed so much, for the worse, and we are so far away from looking like a professional club and team that I can't find the passion and enthusiasm I used to feel. I wish I felt differently but it's becoming a chore to support QPR.
I watched it recently and thought it was pretty good until the last 20 minutes or so, which were utterly ludicrous. It was a good idea for a movie and pretty well done until it fell apart, almost literally.
There are far too many knee jerk reactions in football now, but there is a growing body of evidence that our summer recruitment has been a disaster for the most part, that our CEO is a misguided control freak and that a manager whom most of us revere is distancing himself from what is going on at the club. I think it's now clear that we need to sack our CEO as he is a liability.
Agreed. Kill List is a great film but Generation Z was a complete mess.
A lot of my favourite films have been listed, including Alien, Halloween, The Shining, American Werewolf, The Thing, Hellraiser, Event Horizon, Saw, The Descent and Get Out. Others good ones are:
The Omen Damien: Omen II The Fly A Quiet Place Wrong Turn Hostel
We need to give Morgan a run in the squad, if not necessarily a starting position.
Too many players come and go at QPR, but you could make a case for Morgan being MOM on Saturday just because he wanted the ball and moved it quickly. Last night I thought he faded after his goal, which I'll forgive him, but I think we might have a player here.
Thinking about it, Saito was an improvement on Paal's recent performances and we had JCS back in the middle and Dunne at right back, where he is better suited (to my amazement), and we looked better all round, if still a little open at times.
I also thought Varane made a real difference in the middle (Madsen must never play DCM again) and both he and Saito could prove to be good signings.
On Saturday I was convinced I was watching a bottom 3 side. Last night I felt I was watching a side that could yet make it to its natural habitat of 16th.
Each to their own, but Dembele showed some real class at times on Saturday whereas Smyth didn't, to put it mildly, and never really has. He can be a useful sub at times but I'd never start him myself.
1. We don't have a midfield. We have missed Colback hugely and we all now realise that we should (and could) have signed Hayden.
2. We don't have enough goals in the team. I think that is what is most likely to relegate us.
There are other problems and Fox was 100% to blame for both goals when he should have put the ball out both times - and what he was doing with the penalty I cannot fathom. However, I can't recall a more lightweight midfield or less clinical attack.
During a match in about 1993 we had a couple of early injuries in the first half. Ian Holloway was warming up in front of the Paddock and asked if any of us had brought our boots along.
My happiest memories were standing in the East Paddock watching the great team of the early 90s take apart teams like Spurs, Leeds and Arsenal. The Kenny Sansom thunderbastard against Arsenal and the Simon Barker equaliser against Liverpool were probably the highlights, but the one that makes me smile is Gary Penrice's magnificently violent half volley past Ian Walker a couple of years later.
