Yes it was excellent. Shame for the victims family.

Not as far as I’m aware. Same premise though. 
 

I haven’t seen the film anyway. 

Like Marmite, it's got people divided. 

 

One of, if not the worst film I've ever seen.

[Numero Veinticinco]

I finished DAVE. It’s absolutely fucking excellent. Honestly, it knocked me for six. Some of the acting is just exceptional. GaTa’s scene on the sofa... that shit deserves an award. The entire show deserves to win an award. It’s stand out brilliant and if you haven’t watched it yet, you’re mental. It’s 9.2/10 for me.

I’m still really enjoying both Betty and I May Destroy You. Love the week by week thing and always did. It’s the best way to watch the best telly, for me. I love the anticipation of the next episode and also the way it ferments in your head for a week. 

Week by week? Is it an anthology or just episodic? 

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Just seen The Sinner Season 3 is out. Loved the first 2.

[The Golden Eel]

Jennifer Connelly's finest hour has to be Career Opportunities. Don't know how many times I watched that in my teens.

I'm bored of the current series already. Thought the first two were ok but could have been fitted into 3 or 4 episodes. Current series looking the same too.

Jennifer Connelly is great in Blood Diamond but still to an extent manages to come across as a twat through her character.

I’m not sure what to make of this. I’ve watched two episodes, possibly based on your recommendation, definitely someone on here.

 

I like the concept, the characters and the performances but I keep thinking I must be too old to understand these people. I want to enjoy the show but not sure...

She's lovely in labyrinth is connelly.

I fancied the arse off her in that then I watched it again last year and she looks about 14. Totally killed my childhood crush, I grew old while she stayed the same. My memory of her in that was still of her being older than me.

 

Her riding that toy horse in career opportunities Jesus christ!

Good God, why have I never seen this film-

 

 

The Hot Spot with Don Johnson and Virginia Madsen is another cracker.

Sri Lanka's Killing Fields

 

Channel 4 2011 documentary

 

I generally avoid these shows now, but I thought I'd make an exception in this case.

 

Can't recommend it--it's horrific, and since those responsible are either dead or back in power in Sri Lanka, extremely disheartening.

Watched ‘Barry’ last week and thought it was ace. However we’ve since been watching ‘Happy!’ which is even better. Gloriously dark and funny. One of the best things I’ve watched of late. Hoping to get the end of the second series boxed off tonight.

I'm bang into Halt and Catch Fire now, cracking show once it gets going.

Watched a documentary on Rudyard Kipling last night. I’d recorded it from Sky Arts so it’s probably on catch up somewhere.

 

Wont be everyone’s cup of tea but I found it a reasonable watch and it’s only an hour. Some of his views can best be described as ‘of the time’ but it was interesting to see how his difficult childhood and the deaths of two of his three children influenced his writing.

 

6.5/10.

4 episodes into the third and final season of 'Dark.' Bit of a slow burner but still captivating.

This will be no good for you then. Unless there’s a part two which focuses on his second career as maker of cakes, this is a glaring omission from the documentary. 

 

On reflection it’s probably 6/10, with the original extra half point deducted for a lack of French Fancies.

Watching The Sopranos again. I was curious would it stand the test of time, since we now take for granted many things it pioneered, but it is such a master class in character development, narration, casting etc.

 

All these new shows that struggle with making you care what happens with their characters should try to learn from it how it is done. How you find a human trace (good or bad) in every character the viewer can in some way identify with and how you find a way to show it. Constantly. That's the secret of The Sopranos, this is why the show is so addictive and it's so hard to resist binging it.
