Watched Advantageous (2015) yesterday. Sci-fi with an old school, Asimov/Tarkovsky feel to it. Grown-up, dystopian sci-fi 
Highly recommend it.
Highly recommend it.

Agreed. Really fantastic.

have you ever explored your dark side?
Just been watching Fringe - a sort of X-Files ish series that goes a lot deeper and a lot weirder. Good fun and does not require you to "leave your brain at the coat check".
Also managed to jam in Sens8 between Fringes - really enjoyed it. Just one series filmed at the moment though.

My current recommendation is sense8. Only watched the first five eps so far but it is really very good, with some genuinely unexpected and funny scenes. I thought it would be full of awkward scenes where their senses get muddled but it is done very well, some fairly well done sex scenes, m/f, f/f and m/m (though the m/m is noticeably less drawn out than the others) including a great orgy (more interesting to watch than titillating) very strong performances. I am looking forward to after the kids have gone to bed to sit and watch this now.

Watched this a few nights ago. Very good if a little sad.
There seems to be quite a few decent skating vids on there. I started watching a Plan B one last night.

Have to wait till the bf is distracted - he only lets me watch Sci Fi!!
Fringe gets better the deeper into it you get.

And they pretty much always say: Is it Lupus? To which the answer is No. It's never Lupus. Except for that one time it actually was Lupus.

Makes me pine for Casualty.

Oh dear, I thought House was a pile of steaming shit for the first few episodes, but for some reason (nothing better to watch) carried on watching, now I'm hooked

I haven't watched Casualty for years, but the first five minutes or so always used to amuse me - man climbing up ricketty old ladder to clear the gutter, factory worker using dangerous machinery, teenager whizzing by a busy road on a skateboard as a lorry's reversing... accident waiting to happen.

Who mentioned Sense8? I'm one episode in and already confused and unenlightened.

Give it time.

worked it out now!
I plan to watch Dangermouse soon. I'm finally watching Orange is the New Black which I didn't expect to be a dark comedy drama. I like it a lot.

They should have only done two seasons of it, it got really repetitive. I did watch all of it though

Disagree. I want season 6!

So many particulars. So many questions.
thats what attracted me straight off. You watch and read enough sci fi it gets boring having it plated up for you. This sense8 sort of coheres around ep 2/3. But as its them who did the matrix, you get cool visuals to keep you hooked while the story unfolds. Just wait for the 4 non blondes episode.

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
Thanks to long night shifts I am powering through my Netflix 'My List', mainly having a crack at low budget/low profile films I've not seen before, or else genre, blockbuster or B movies I was aware of but not actually watched - around twenty or thirty a month.
Sadly, most of them are not well known for a reason... Yes, I am looking at you, He Who Dares: Downing Street Siege (wanted to be a British Olympus Has Fallen or White House Down with a nod towards Who Dares Wins and a flavour of Under Siege or Die Hard or The Raid; failed on all counts) and Isle Of Dogs (indescribably dull gangster nonsense) in particular.
However, every so often there has been a payoff for all these lemons - so cheers Indeliblelink for recommending The Guest on the DVD/Video thread - a decent little gem of a thriller.

I watched the first 10 minutes of this shit the other day. Dire.

Afterwards (why not before, dammit?) I found plenty of reviews which would have warned me off this execrable nonsense (which is not - it really must be stressed - 'so bad it's good', but simply the very worst and cynical type of shit imaginable), some of them highlighting the dubious methods of director Simon Tanter and actor/producer Simon Phillips:
