then the one that started it all Terminator, we watched one and two, Judgement Day, both disaster movies again, humankind lives, but not as we know it Jim! we bought the box set of 4 so we have two more to watch, but we should have waited for the release of Terminators 5 & 6 so we could have had the box set of sextuplets!
then another from the Hitchcock box Shadow of Doubt, Uncle Charlie comes back to visit his sister and her family in a typical small American town, cash flush he holds a sinister secret in his hands, great direction and story line for its time,
for our last of the evening we open up the Tales Of The Unexpected box, all 116 of them written by Roald Dahl, a gifted and prolific writer, his stories always have a twist, take for instance the first one we watched, The Man From The South, imagine in your youth when you were just starting work and you were poor you had say, a lighter, that always worked, never let you down, even in the strongest winds, whilst offering a light to an obviously wealthy stranger he gave you a bet, he bet his brand new Jaguar car that your lighter would not light for 10 consecutive times in a windless room, you know the bet is safe, your prised possession has never let you down, but what could you bet him him with? you have no money, no assets, nothing, well how about something you hardly ever or even never use, your little finger? you win the bet the car is yours, you lose and your finger is chopped of with a kitchen clever, would you take the bet, well would you? then off to bed.
