[Jack the Stripper]

Been looking forward to this since it was first announced and it’s finally nearly here.

[Jack the Stripper]

Didn’t even know he was missing.

Very good actor

Yeah he went missing in January when there was a huge storm in the area. It was pretty big news at the time.

Truly a shame indeed. He was a great bad guy actor.

[Jack the Stripper]

Cool

[Zzzptm]

Ooooh! Cool indeed!

Might be interesting...I'm just hoping it won't turn out to be another Alexander....my god that movie was HORRIBLE!

The trailer for the new Ghostbusters is looking pretty cooooooool!!!

[Zzzptm]

Oh wow, I got goosebumps with that one!

cooooooool!!!

I see what you did there.

Ghostbusters was supposed to come out in December, but I guess it got pushed back by the SAG strike, that now seems to be resolved.

Well goddamn! Pierce Brosnan is back in action!!

This is looking bad ass!

The final episode of the Grand Tour has finished filming and will be shown sometime in the new year.

They think the show may re-appear in a new format with another service!

This comes about 2-weeks after the BBC announced that Top Gear will be rested for the foreseeable future after Andrew Flintoff was seriously injured filming for the show.

Well to be honest that show died when the Three Amigos left. I tried to watch it after but there just was no magic in it... I remember Matt trying his best but he wasn't a good fit either. That show always was 20% about the cars and 80% about James, Richard and Jeremy and when they left so did 80% of what made Top Gear Top Gear.

I too am sure the show will return again at some point with a new set of hosts but again it will fail. Such magic just cannot be reproduced.

And just now the word is that also THE GRAND TOUR will end!

The trio has just finished filming the very last episode in Africa and that will air early next year.

This is a bit of a shock really. But I guess they have all kind of moved on to other things. Clarkson has his farm (which isn't doing very well), Hammond has the Smallest Cog which I gather IS actually doing very well, growing business atleast and May has his Our Man show and his pub and Gin business so I guess they simply don't have the time to do a big show anymore and go on trips for weeks and weeks at a time.

I will miss the show immensly though.

[Zzzptm]

I think they're at a point in their lives where they don't want to be risking death all that often. Hammond, especially, needs to quit while he's winning. But May's also racked up a number of crashes and likely much prefers the travel show trade to driving like a yobbo.

Look who's back!

Too bad it's only on netflix as I boycott that company.
