Has anyone seen One Upon a Time In London yet?

The trailer looks alright.
It's poor, another one of Turbo Terry's vanity projects/tax dodges. Barely a plot, substandard blocking of scenes, repeated use of same locations, some decent enough actors wasted.
 
I’m three episodes into S03 of The Crown. The original cast were great, but the new cast are so good, I don’t miss anybody

I've watched more of the crown and they are all growing on me excellent cast. Have just watched 'coup' with Mountbatten - I like the theme that the Queen doesn't like her job and doesn't feel like she is very good at it at times.
 
By now I have watched all of season 3. I think it may be the best season yet, though the Mountbatten one was probably my least favorite episode. The moon landing one was my favorite and credit for making me feel something for a man I find generally loathsome. I also thought Princess Anne gave Princess Margaret a run for her money when it comes to most entertaining character.

Yeah, agree, even although they missed out her marriage, her competing at the Olympics, and the flipping kidnap attempt that saw multiple people shot.

Princess Anne was interesting. The popular feeling for her is that she is one of the better ones - lorra good work for charidy, keeps her mouth shut, that sort of thing - but she was characterised as the most loathsome over-privileged cunt in the show.
 
i've just got netflix, i'm using library to download stuff, is this the reason why it takes 15 minutes to download 1 episode. don't get me started on amazon prime it took me 2 hours just to download 1 episode of jack ryan using library wifi...:eek:

She's certainly the one who realises the most that the whole enterprise is a carefully-maintained charade. The most cynical, perhaps. I've "met" her a few times through work. She's quite a slight person but commands a space in a way that is really quite uncanny. That's what the privilege and unshakeable self-confidence gets you I guess.
 
Free Solo. A documentary on a climber's attempt to scale a sheer 3000ft rockface, El Capitan, in Yosemite Park.

As the title of the film suggests, the bloke climbs on his own without any ropes or kit, using only his feet and bare hands. The first part of the film sets the scene with the remainder covering the attempt itself.

It gets a 9/10 rating from me. Gripping stuff. Pun intended, no point denying that.

Is that back on?

It came off UK netflix a while ago
 
Marriage Story. It's good but I could only watch half, too painful :eek: Worse to know its based on his actual divorce (from Jennifer Jason Leigh).

I do have a history of choosing really inappropriate Valentines date night movies (Revolutionary Road, Blue Valentine) so maybe I'll save the rest of Marriage Story for February :thumbs:
 
Marriage Story is fantastic. Superb performances from the two leads.

I found very funny in parts but it’s powerful stuff in the main. Best film I’ve seen for a while.
 
Started V-Wars and three episodes in it’s a pretty watchable sci-fi miniseries. Apart from the first episode they’re barely over half hour long as well so easy to watch.

Regarding the main antagonists, I like the fact that
due to vampirism being biologically caused there’s no supernatural religious shit in play. No crosses, holy water, lack of reflection in mirrors or garlic vulnerabilities for these fellas. Not so far anyway
 
I watched Hello Privilege, It's Me Chelsea over the weekend. Thought-provoking and interesting but a bit cringe in parts. Recommended. It's about white privilege. The underlying point is that white privilege (and racism) is a white people problem that white people need to address.
 
Watched first 2 episodes of The Confession Killer, about Henry Lee Lucas who after being arrested for the murders of his girlfriend and mother turned to the church and confessed to hundreds of others he couldn't have been involved in. Police are presented as arrogant and unwilling to consider evidence of his innocence in their awe at having caught a serial killer. Lucas was given celebrity status and revelled in the attention.

A good one for people who liked Mindhunter and Bundy.

Started this, haven't decided if I like it yet.

Rob Lowe's looking well though isn't he.

The same thought crossed our minds as well.

He’s one of those actors I can never remember the name of, no matter how many times I look it up. He also seems to get a lot of roles involving vampires...

I'm not sure if I've seen him in anything else, but if I had I would honestly have assumed it was Rob Lowe.

Edit: oh he was forgettable Boone in forgettable Lost.

They both have the bland handsomeness of shop window dummies or daytime soap actors. Rob Lowe turned out to be a reasonable actor in the right role and ageing gave his looks a smidgen of personality. But when I see someone like Ian Somerhalder cast in a lead role I’m always a little put off.
 
6 Underground is available from today. Has anyone seen it yet? It’s supposed to be an action thriller so I’m not looking for high quality cinematography, just an entertaining ride.

Will probably give it a go regardless of reviews anyway, as anything starring Ryan Reynolds and directed by Michael Bay is bound to be mindless fun.
