I thought the original Blackpool coach trip one was good. Thanks for the warning I won’t bother with the other ones!It's dreadful.
So promising but it's terrible.
An emotional rollercoaster, so very well done, & not a dry eye in our gaff come the end!I enjoyed “Lost boys and faries”
I was annoyed and upset when it came to the end at episode 3 I was expecting 6.An emotional rollercoaster, so very well done, & not a dry eye in our gaff come the end!
I completely missed series 2 for some reason.Outlaws series 3 is very good fun as usual.
Well if you liked that one, maybe you will like the others.I thought the original Blackpool coach trip one was good. Thanks for the warning I won’t bother with the other ones!
It was observed through a Xmas alcohol haze so I may have over egged itWell if you liked that one, maybe you will like the others.
I just think it's really weak.
I thought the fact that she didn't display significant curiosity about the strike was the whole point. It's just always there, in the background. She's so ground down and struggling, but the film doesn't draw any overt parallels between her situation and the reasons for the strikes, although obviously they may be there in the mind of the audience.I just watched Full Time - would make a good double bill with Uncut Gems.
Excellent performance from Laure Calamy, with a mixture of both fragility and determination, and I really liked the way it was filmed and directed. I checked out a few reviews online to see what the critics thought, and this bit in the review on the Roger Ebert site struck me up as being slightly ridiculous:
"Full Time” does have a couple of problems it doesn’t quite manage to work around. While it's a key plot point that Julie never displays any significant curiosity about the strike that affects her life so profoundly, the film likewise doesn’t seem to have much to say about organized labor, the conditions that would lead to such a paralyzing strike, or whether it's in favor of such actions or not."
Seriously, any film shorter than 2 hours these days gets my attention.And it seems to be only 87 minutes long. I’m sold!
Oh my god - Luibeilt!I've been listening to the Uncanny podcast. A guy interviews people who have experienced unexplained apparently paranormal events and experiences. Mostly ghost type stuff. Usually a good yarn emerges and then assorted bods give their take on it. Recommended if you find these things interesting and intriguing.
Oh my god - Luibeilt!
What a story that is! Absolute better.
Yes. Terrifying stuff. I've never heard anything like it. He goes back AGAIN!The two-parter in series one with the Scottish hikers? I did part 1 the other night and had nightmares
Prolly finish it tonight tho.
I've just googled Luibeilt, read the BBC article about it and really want to listen to the series - didn't realise there were so many of them.Oh my god - Luibeilt!

Danny Robins's The Battersea Poltergeist is really good. I used to live quite near where it happened, and the descriptions of this very changed area in the 1950s were (to me) almost as fascinating as the story.

That's the level to enjoy them on I think.I'm going to listen to that.
I really don't believe in ghosts but I'm engaged by his story-telling and I'm a sucker for a ghost story - even if I do think it's all bunkum.
I made the error of listening to The Battersea Poltergeist when I was house/cat-sitting at my sister's -their house is a 70s build and very un-spooky but even so...I don't for a second believe in ghosts, but supernatural tales can be awesome - probably won't go there when I am here by mesself at night though, scary
There is something delightful about being scared by stories of things that we know are logically unlikely - ghost stories are always popular I think, even knowing it's not true I still enjoy a good supernatural drama film or a good ghost story.I made the error of listening to The Battersea Poltergeist when I was house/cat-sitting at my sister's -their house is a 70s build and very un-spooky but even so...
I listened to one before going to sleep one night, then listened to the others in the mornings.
