Exasperated, not angry.
Finished 1899.
Turned out a bit disappointed. I wasn't wildly keen on any character, the weird kid and Hobbit Ian Curtis were particularly irritating. But the overall thing was more than good enough to keep going with - an interesting set up, even if it wasn't clear what the actual set up was (iyswim) and overwhelmingly well written and performed.
But then there was the episode seven reveal and it's just 'oh, well thats any sense of jeopardy gone then.' I'm sure they'll be a good reason shown for what's gone before, they pulled it off with Dark so I trust in the overarching storytelling, but is didn't leave me desperately wanting the next season immediately like Dark did.

I preferred Troll, myself... but each to their own

My 'recommendation' is that posters concentrate on the thread topic and not petty squabbling, bullying and mob behavior.
Anyway, I like Netflix. It's not too expensive and offers a lot of good movies. It's reach and the quality has grown since the Pandemic.

Agreed. SB needs a permanent ban.

No, I didn't see that message because I've been both ill and busy. So my post was a quick stopgap to try and get the thread back on track.
A private message mighty have been more helpful than slagging me off in public.

Please try and understand I'm not always able to trawl through long threads at a moment's notice. And if you look at my posting history you'd see that I've hardly been on this site since Friday night.

Sure, I can do this next time. I might also have extenuating circumstances.
You could also just say sorry, I hadn't realised the full context when I responded etc.
Thank you for the banning.

real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold
Does the site need another mod or two? If someone reports a post, there should be a mod available within some reasonable timespan who can read the history, given pointers. I don't think anyone would expect that always to be you; it's just that you're the one who responded to this particular problem.
Do we need more mods? (I'd volunteer but couldn't be reliable enough :/ )

To be honest, even with loads of mods there's always going to be periods where it takes a while to kick off idiots. In about 99% of the cases trollers are kicked off within an hour, and what happened here is really quite rare.

I haven’t finished it yet, but I’m pretty certain the remaining time won’t change my opinion of it, so here it goes: Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is just brilliant, and a fucking delight.
As you would expect from the man, this is pretty far removed in tone from the Disney version, never mind the recent live action reboot (though still child-friendly). Expect fascists, religious bigotry, and above all a wonderful stop motion animation visual treat.
Rave reviews across the board so don’t just take my word for it. Highly recommended

Changing the facts
I agree, it was rubbish. As soon as I realised it was bobbins I switched up the speed and got my laptop out to fool about online while it was playing. Slowed it down for some of the CGI, which was alright.

Watching this and I agree with you and reviews.
Just a beautiful film.

Japanese TV seems overly obsessed with cooking/presenting food. It quite often pops up in shows where as a westerner I really don't expect it to have such prominence. It's no wonder bake off is a massive hit over there. I saw an undercover documentary programme where they snuck into North Korea on a tiny boat at great risk, only to try out the local food in basically the same way / format that that they do for every MOR daytime TV show.
