Larry Grayson


I've plucked a name out of the air: Larry Grayson. He was a British comedian and TV presenter, best known in the 1970's and 1980's, particlarly for presenting The Generation Game. His comedy was marked by 'high camp and English Music  Hall humour'. After The Generation Game, which he left in 1982, he more or less went into (semi) retirement.  I really liked his sense of humour-he made me laugh!

Thanks to Wiki.

and of course he was...

I really liked Bruce Forsyth. I saw the tribute to him on Sunday, which I particularly enjoyed. He was a long standing entertainer.I remember many of the shows he presented over the years...probably, there isn't anyone who compares with him in terms of his ability to engage an audience and of course he was a very versatile entertainer...

Avengers

Continuing with new films releases, Avengers Infinity Wars, the sequel to 20l2's The Avengers and 2015's The Age of Ultron. From what little I've read The Avengers will be joining forces with The Guardians of the Galaxy. I haven't read the original Marvel Comics, on which the film is based, but the whole Universe is threatened with destruction by Thanos, who is looking for the Infinity Stones...

Red Sparrow

Continuing with recent and new releases in the cinema. Coming soon...Red Sparrow, with Jennifer Lawrence. She is a particularly good actress and always brings a lot to her characters. The film has had a few dodgy reviews, but it's not a surprise that the Russian Intelligence Services are back in the cinema: what naughty things have they been up to? Unfortunately, I haven't been to the cinema this year to see anything...so far.

My music...

I have two old music tapes, that is: Shakatak, Day by Day and James Last, My Favourite Love Songs (1983). I would like to replace both of them with CD's. However, on Amazon , the James Last audio CD is £40.00...it must be a collectors item?


 I want to get Thor: Ragnarok on DVD and add it to my collection. It looks very impressive, exciting and original...

If it makes money

I'm looking forward to film releases in the next few months. It's difficult to work out what is worth seeing. There are a number of remakes (like Tomb Raider). However, I like the look of Rampage. I suppose the idea has been done before: that is, genetically altering an animal and it becoming a monster version of itself...do we never learn?

Black Panther

The Black Panther looks really interesting, but need to get some information abut the story, because I don't know anything about it...Still if you want to make it as attractive as possible, that's what the trailer is for-guess it succeeds in doing that at least. I would like to go to the cinema and see it. A different twist to annother Marvel story character. If I like it, then I'll add it to my DVD collection (later).
