Yes, he gets tired, it shows, the baddies get tired. The do an amazing fight scene in a corridor that just goes on and on (5 1/2 minutes!!), we were amazed by it. It was only later that I found out that the entire scene was shot in one take with about 3 days preparation.

Sure, I'll give you that, but all that flipping around and stuff isn't amazingly realistic.
 
Nope, granted, but it is a hell of a lot better than most fight scenes in films/series, especially superhero/comic book ones
 
I can recommend binge watching greys anatomy if you're feeling poorly in any way and have never seen it, their faces get all 'done' and the disasters get more outrageous, but it is so good, ridiculous but compulsive.

Just finishing 'Bloodline'... Made me glad I am an only child :oops:

Gets darker as it progresses and the cinematography is pleasing. It shows family guilt in a way I haven't seen done before. Very interesting.

I just watched this over the last week. I liked it a lot! Danny is a great character, really well played. I feel a bit bereft now.
 
I've been watching Lillyhammer . Which is a US Norwegian collaboration ...mostly Norwegian . Basically a clone of syl out of the sopranos has to go on the run in the witness protection programme . He ends up hiding in the tiny, socially cohesive , almost crime free ski resort in Norway . Which he immediately sets about corrupting with his new York mafia ways . There's a very wittily observed clash between the Norwegian social model and political correctness versus franks grasping capitalism , corruption and criminality . Some of its a bit cheesy, some of its real belly laugh stuff . It's a weird collaboration but it's really well done
First series takes a while to get going but I'm on the second now and it's absolutely brilliant . Some absolutely mad, wtf moments . Some very coarse humour as well..which I assumed is aimed primarily at the Norwegian audience . Surprisingly high body count too the longer it goes on

It's an odd show but I'm glad I got into it .
 
Ivory Tower, documentary about the US Higher Education system and its cost, as well as its history and possible futures. Worth a watch for anyone interested in the subject. I never knew America was, for a little while, offering free education to everyone. That was shortlived
:(
 
I'm surprised Suits hasn't had a mention yet.

Superbly slick, legal/business drama (would appeal to anyone who liked Mad Men/Boston Legal etc), and there's 3 whole seasons on Netflix.

Enjoyed the first episode of Grace & Frankie last night. Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda as the discarded wives of a couple of men (Sam Waterston and Martin Sheen) who reach old age and announce they are gay and want to get married.

apparently thats a clear lift from the comics. When Murdok goes down, he hits the deck hard and doesn't get up for a while. As the fight progresses you see that krav maga style thing he does get sloppier and looser as he tires, gets beat on. Sometimes you'll even see him go to put his dukes up like his boxer father would have then remember himself and flow back into it. Balletic. The fights and the scenes with the huge bald gangster are what made it for me
