...Colon Farrel ...

?

 

[DexterTCN]

I am now rewatching In Bruges. I bloody love this film. It's funny and tense and emotioinal. The script has some of the best lines ever. It's got Brendon Gleeson and Colon Farrel and then bloody Ralph Feinnes shows up doing his best impression of Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast.. 15 put of 10.

It's an incredible piece of film-making, all three main actors are at the top of their games. First time director, wasn't he?

No and he is a playwright so it's not so surprising that he made such a great film. It is an absolute cracker though!

Matt Smith is rather entertaining as young Ralph in the deleted scenes.

I haven't seen that....

It was on the DVD extras when I saw it, I'm sure it must be on Youtube. It's not essential to the film and some people feel it jars but was interesting (for me) to see Smith in such a role.

Fiennes is a bit too hammy for me in that film.

He is the film's weak link.

I normally find him unwatchable, so I thought he was good in IB.

He's rather good in that Wes Anderson film, mind

We started 'Dark ' last night. A German drama about a missing child - but with a nuclear power plant in the village and clearly other 'secrets' than span generations there is a lot more to come.

The first episode was atmospheric, and a bit mad in places. We are going to stick with it

Yes you should - it's a top movie.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I really like Feinnes in that period thing with Keira Knightly.
The Duchess.

It was all a bit too much of a thespian goes feral cockney gangster sexy beast rip-off for me....

If you think the first episode was a bit mad...there's a lot more to come!

Yes, I'm fully expecting it to go full on barmy. I've deliberately not read any reviews etc. We are going to sit back and see how it unfolds!

Remember reading ages ago in Guardian or similar that it was sort of like a German version of Stranger Things, so not doing my research properly, I sat down with my 12 year old son to watch it and there's both hanging & shagging scenes within the first couple of mins. Massive fail.

I definitely didn't get Stranger Things from EP1, in places it was quite disturbing and creepy, but given the teen gang perhaps it might develop that way?

Just popping in to exude my love for Dark. I've just finished Season 2 after waitng 18 months for it. Much like Season 1 it started slow and I thought it was going to lose it's magic but by eposide 3 or 4 it all came flying back. This is by far the TV series I've ever seen. I get really pissed off with people comparing this to Stranger Things which I can't stand personally. It's more of a thinking man's Twin Peaks mixed with Donnie Darko and some Inception thrown in for good measure. The producers must surely have been influenced by these shows amyway.

Anyway I don't understand why this show is not so popular. Well I do it's a "foreign series". Give it a few years and there will be an American remake and everyone will rave about like they did with GOT. Only like most American remakes it won't be half as good.

For anyone watching it does need a bit of patience and quite a large attention span because it will literally sping your head around. Totally fucking worth it thought. What a show! Wow!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Well on that recommendation....I will start series 2!

Agree that comparing it to Stranger Things is wrong as it's basically nothing like it.

 

[DexterTCN]

Hi everyone. I am new here. Has anyone seen Chernobyl series? It is a great drama which I can recommend to you all.

Many have watched it, yup. Really good tv.

Not on netflix though.

Don’t think I can take much more of Stranger Things It’s scooby do without the dog.

And scooby do without scooby ain't worth shit.

Don’t think I can take much more of Stranger Things It’s scooby do without the dog.

No that's quite literally Death in Paradise. I get what you mean wrt Stranger Things though.

The Guilty. Danish thriller. Very good. A demoted copper working in the emergency call centre takes a call from a woman who's been kidnapped in a car and tries to save her using clues that she is able to give him, but there are several twists. Much, much better than I've probably made it sound.

בתוך המוסד AKA Inside The Mossad - pretty in-depth (not just on the history, or the tradecraft, but also on the philosophical underpinnings) four-part documentary on Israel's intelligence agency.

Dense with talking head interviews with former and serving officers, including ex-directors Zvi Zamir (1968-1974), Dani Yatom (1996-86) and Efraim Halevy (1998-2002, topping off a career begun in 1961); current Deputy Director Ram Ben Barak; key department heads like Avi Dagan (past Head of Recruitment and later ‘Tzomet’, or Collections), Rafi Eitan (Ops Chief or Head of Caeserea 1950-81), David Meidan (Head of the ‘TEVEL’ Political Action & Liaison Division in the 1990s), David Arbel (Head of Europe Division), Rami Igra (Head of the Captured & Missing Division until 1999), Uzi Arad (Research Division); one-time Station Chiefs like Yair Ravid-Ravitz (Beirut) and Eliezer Tsafrir (Iraqi Kurdistan, Iran and Lebanon); various participants in the 1984 Operation Moses, like Danny Limor, Gad Shimron, Yula Reitman and David Ben Uziel, who had been a teenage veteran of the Irgun, and was later a member of a tiny team assisting the Christian rebellion in Southern Sudan in the early 1970s; plus numerous career and case officers like Mishka Ben David, Yossi Alpher and ‘Tamar’.

grand-daughter (8) is staying for a week so I definitely need to use the 'blobbing in front of a screen' option. I have netflix which I never use...or watch anything tbh so I am clueless (and desperate) Any hidden gems I can plonk her in front of for some mindless peace.
