Movies watched in whole or in part over the weekend.

Tivo suggested we watch this Saturday night... so we did:

The politics haven't survived well, but otherwise not a bad movie. I even managed to (mostly) surpress my annoyance over how the movie mangled Curnow and Chandrasegarampillai's characters.

Curiously, when the movie was over and we went back to live TV, whatever channel it was on was showing the tail end of Apollo 13.

Watching it I caught an error I hadn't noticed before - when they jettisoned the LEM, the CM retained the probe assembly. In actuality, the probe assembly is jettisoned with the LEM so that if the astronauts need to escape the CM after landing the probe isn't blocking the top tunnel. A minor, but geek-annoying error in what is still a dang good movie.

Flipping through the channels Sunday night, we caught the last forty five minutes of the 1981 version of Clash of the Titans:

Which has not held up well over the years... I recall liking it back then, but thirty more years of SFX development have not been kind to the reality.
