[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

The film is worth watching for Tilda Swinton's character alone

The film is worth watching anyway. Probably like it more than the TV show, but they are two quite different things.

It's just easy viewing mate, and has it's moments of fun. We've completed the first 2 seasons.

I am up to season 4, over the past few weeks we've binged so much Superstore I am having dreams that I work there. There are plenty of filler episodes that I have only half watched, but sometimes it's superb. A bit grumpy that likely going to have to wait for ages for the final season (6) - will be on ITV2 first apparently, and I much prefer to binge this sort of thing than watch it live week by week.

I was saying to my missus I'd love to work there

Well it's absolute American story arc nonsense but fuck me Emma Thompson is such a joy to watch. She is so good. Her hair and wardrobe in this film is phenomenal as well


I saw her in a shop in Marylebone once..she was so fragrant and lovely it was as if a cloud of angels surrounded her.

Up to S4 E4 in Poldark

Yeah, it's sort of trash but I'd watch her in anything. If you have a spare hour or so go and YouTube her best talkshow bits, she acts up the eccentric Brit, but is always bloody hilarious.

Loving Call My Agent. Funny

It's got just enough french farce and brilliant characters, bloody love it. When Mrs. St8 suggested it I was lukewarm at best but it is funny as fuck. Also, I'm learning loads about french cinema and actors

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Victor Frankenstein.
Absolutely preposterous but good fun. Especially if you like looking at Daniel Radcliffe, James McAvoy and Andrew Scott.

We took a short break after season two and have just started again. The Jean Dujardin episode is most excellent

Joy - social drama about a Nigerian sex worker living in Austria, who is there illegally. Worth watching to understand what an awful situation some women are forced into to escape poverty - modern day slavery, eventually buying their freedom - in a non sensationalised, matter of fact way.

Watch Joy | Netflix Official Site

Close to paying off her debts, a Nigerian sex worker in Austria coaches a reluctant novice, and assesses the risks of taking a faster path to freedom.

I gave The Liberator another go on the strength of loads of IMDB reviews comparing it to Band of Brothers.

It's utter shit and not just because it's animated, though that doesn't help.

Avoid like the plague.

I'm really enjoying Queer Eye in Japan. God, I'm crying practically half the time, it's so lovely.

I tried watching this just now. I must be doing it wrong. I didn't last 15 minutes. It's probably one of the most irritating things I have ever seen. It's not the idea, or who they film, it's how they do it. The style of the whole production . . filming, editing, music, script, everything. I think I must be too old or something.

Those who have watched and liked the first two seasons of the adult animation series Paradise P.D. will be interested to know S3 is out today.

Speaking of adult animation, is there going to be another season of Archer? The third and second to last seasons were the worst ones and I had started to give up the series, but S10 was great and a proper return to form.

It’s an interesting point.

Watched the first two episodes of Tokyo Trials last night. It's brilliant and anyone with an interest in history and law should watch it. It follows the judges at the Tokyo war crimes tribunals after WW2 and dramatises the courtroom testimonies and their deliberations in chambers. Superbly written and acted. My only issue with it is that they've squeezed it into just 4 episodes when the subject could easily have been made into a thoroughly absorbing 10 parter.

 

[Aladdin]

Finished season 5 of Poldark.
Is there going to be another series?
For some reason I thought there were 8 series in it and was fully expecting more...

Wow you've really done a Poldark marathon. A 5 series binge! Good work!

I'm watching the 1975 version now. Already gripping!! The acting in Old Poldark is a lot more realistic. Ross really brilliant in the first episode when he finds out Elizabeth is engaged.

 

[Aladdin]

Bummer. Most of 1975 Poldark is blocked on youtube.

Just finishing S2. Reeling from the fact that Liliane Rovere actually did have an affair with Chet Baker!!!

belboid she's had quite a life, how fucking cool is this pic

Snowpiercer the tv series is good, I avoided it because I'd seen the film but it's still good. Babyteeth, a film about a seriously ill teenager with a dysfunctional family who begins a relationship with a small time drug dealer. Quite good. Just starting The One now which looks like a good mindless watch.

Is that the old Jet Li film? If so avoid.

 

[Epona]

It's a near future series, not an old film.

I watched it and enjoyed it.

If you are liking S1 of Snowpiercer you will be very pleased with S2. Much better so far

We’ve started a brand new adult anime series, High-rise Invasion. It’s a mystery/ sci-fi story about a young woman who suddenly finds herself in the rooftop of a tall building in a parallel world city, and immediately finds out everyone on sight is trying to kill her and each other for reasons that are not immediately clear.

Interesting premise and reasonably engaging five episodes in.

Not heard of it. I should maybe look it up.
I'm watching the art of self defence now. Annoyingly it seems to star Jessie Isenburg who for some reason I really hate. Well hate is a harsh word. I am irritated by every one if his film performances that I can remember. Sliding scale obviously. Now you see me is perhaps at the top somewhere . . . but actually I can't think of a film where he isn't far off that. . . maybe he's slightly better in Vivarium. At least he dies.
