Absolutely LOVED 12th Man, thank you hammerntongues

I've realised that when times are tough, I tend towards survival stories. When I was going through bad times with my Dad, I became obsessed with Ranulph Fiennes' books.

 

[DexterTCN]

This looks really good.

 

[fucthest8]

15 or so minutes in it really is the most michael bay michael bay ever bayed. So I had to turn it off.

Ah, so it was you that left that review on IMDB

 

[fucthest8]

Ah, not quite

"The most Micheal Bay movie Micheal Bay ever Micheal Bayed"

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

This looks really good.

Oh my god that looks like the exact opposite of something I want to watch.

Marriage Story is very good though and has already been positively mentioned by quite a few people here who have seen it. Out of context, I don't really understand that twitter post, how it is meant.

If you need a break from superheroes and laser-swords, you could do a lot worse.

 

[DexterTCN]

...Out of context, I don't really understand that twitter post, how it is meant...

It's a clip if you click on it, with script notes.

 

[keybored]

Likewise, I wasn't sure if it meant "Look, isn't this great?" or "Haha, this looks truly awful". I decided on the latter anyway.

No...great.

Watched Don't Fuck With Cats this evening. A documentary about a bunch of internet geeks who track down a serial killer. It starts off quite interesting but I didn't realise that it's in 3, one hour parts and couldn't be arsed after the first one so I just googled the case.

Graphic descriptions and pictures of animal cruelty that some might find upsetting.

 

[Lorca]

.sorry, ignore, made a mistake

So... is anyone going to give The Witcher a go?

 

[souljacker]

So... is anyone going to give The Witcher a go?

Definitely! Swords, monsters, magic, people saying cunt a lot. Can't wait! Although I've just downloaded Watchmen and also just started that Dutch crime thing about the E manufacturer so it will need to wait until I've finished those. Still, got two weeks off from tomorrow so it's binge watch season.

Halfway through it. Not very good but really watchable.

There's a wonderfully good line from one of the characters. "I'm just here for exposition."

 

[Orang Utan]

what's the Dutch tv show about E?

 

[planetgeli]

what's the Dutch tv show about E?

Undercover probably.

Undercover (2019 TV series) - Wikipedia

 

[Spymaster]

It’s very good.

 

[souljacker]

Yeah, Undercover. Orang Utan it's ace. Not the greatest and definitely not a patch on Narcos (yet, I'm on ep4) but well worth a watch.

 

[moochedit]

So... is anyone going to give The Witcher a go?

Yep i binged it last night and this morning.
I liked it. Story is told out of order (pulp fiction style) but it doesn't make that obvious so it was a bit confusing in places until i figered that out about 4 episodes in. Story made a lot more sense after i worked that out.

 

[Ax^]

Don't fuck with cat is not a very festive show

pretty grim stuff and a real story of hunting an internet killer

Not going anywhere near that.

 

[Ax^]

only just watching the first episode of it

friggin crazy stuff and straight up kinda grim

The internet warriors are almost as weird as the cat killer.

 

[Ax^]

seeming as i remember how the story ended the moment they mentioned his name

I'd say the cat killer was a little crazier

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Not going anywhere near that.

double

I find it pretty offensive how they gave it a title that would otherwise make you think it was a funny series of videos of cats scratching people who bothered them or something. Without a bunch of people saying "uh actually this is intensely horrific" I would not have known otherwise.

It's a reference to a line spoken by one of the protagonists "everyone who uses the internet knows that you don't fuck with cats".

 

[Ax^]

Will say its more a case study of how far out someone can attempt to use the internet and Media to make themselves famous

Than here look at video of cats being killed


it pretty friggin out there

Certainly crazier but unsurprisingly the internet weirdos were far more visibly distressed by the cat's deaths then they were the human.

it a pretty comman reaction even movie studios and producers know that if you kill the dog as it will give a bigger more negative reaction than a human death

I‘m totally aware how absurd it is that I can happily watch true crime shows about people getting horribly murdered but not cats but that’s just how it goes. I even find the subject matter of the documentary intriguing but I’m not going there.
