A TV -tastic week ahead

[iguana]

I'm not a great TV watcher but 2 great movies & a car prog this week must surely be worth a watch

Mon- 'Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas' surely the most messed up film ever & perhaps the closest a movie has ever come to the book on which it is based.

Tues- Caterham cars, a 'trouble at the top' type docu
but only on BBC4, oh bugger so i cant watch it then..

Weds- the piece des resistance, with Deliverence. Simply a classic with the cringe worthy "squeal like a piggy" moment and lots of particually handsome actors playing the backwood slack jawed yokels need I say more.

Deliverance - now thats a nasty movie.... errrghh... Reminds me of Southern Comfort (same basic plotline) which I saw when I was 12 and scared me whitless...

Cheers,

Paul

"Deliverance" a beautifully filmed and disturbing movie. It raises so many questions as to what it is to be male. Very worthwhile watching - and a great theme tune too. Not bad for 1971 (or was it 1973?).

Based on a book???? I don't remember it having much of a plot.

Hunter S. Thompson is an amazing author - he coined 'Gonzo' journalism in the 60's and was at the forefront of the counter-culture movement in California. His accounts are frequently hilarious - I seriously recommend picking up one of his books.
