Prey, 4/10. Boring as fuck, was like a centre parcs advert.

 

Never known a franchise to get the dead horse treatment as much as predator, they're all dire except for the first. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Thought Predator 2 was pretty decent. 

[Anubis]

The Sandman - 9/10. Really enjoyed that. Gaiman is a master storyteller and Netflix have done him justice for the most part. There is one fairly major thing I don’t like but in the interests of not spoiling it for others I will not go into it for now.

Trainwreck - Woodstock '99.

 

Three parter about the infamous festival. It was only 23 years ago and i remember it at the time but feels like a completely different era, those organisers were a bunch of cunts, blaming the bands for riling up the crowd (at a rock festival!) instead of admitting their own failings in providing an adequate structure to hold 250k crowd festival. Then the glossing over the reported rapes by basically saying with the amount of people it was like it's own city and it was a blessing to have only a handful of assaults.

Glad the rest of it is good. 
 

Started it last night and loved the first episode.
 

Really strong opening to the series, pleased to see the whole series getting a strong scoring there.

I watched this as well.

 

Back in the day, I was the a huuuuge Limp Bizkit. Although I realise now it’s rubbish, they are still a guilty pleasure.

 

So what I say next might sound biased, it’s not meant to, IMO, Limp Bizkit produced a set of which they were precisely paid to do. 
 

I’ve seen Limp Bizkit a couple of times at festivals (and once by themselves) and Durst gives the same speech through Break Stuff every time.
 

And they’ve never ended in a riot. 

If you want a festival you to replicate 1969 of peace of love, you don’t book Limp Bizkit, Korn, Rage Against The Machine, Metallica, Godsmack, Creed, Megadeath, Kid Rock etc. Some of those late’90s bands attracted the exact type knob’s who turned up. 

 

The organisation of the whole thing was disastrous. I knew previously prices for food and drink were extortionate, I didn’t realise about the garbage, security, heat / shade and sanitation issues. 

It was like Paris or Athens. Piss poor organisation, blame somebody else. Kirk Hammett’s comment of “Peace plus love equals capitalism” summed it up perfectly.

 

I’m not excusing the rioters element of the crowd, not for a second, I can empathise why people were pissed off with the whole situation. 
 

The stories of sexual assault etc are disgusting. I’d hope those who behaved abhorrently were caught and punished but I doubt it.

I watched the first 4 episodes, looking forward to watching the rest.

Blackbird

Wasn't completely blown away by this for reason though its a decent watch 

 

7/10

Behind her eyes.

 

A fairly obvious ending, coupled with some odd choices by the lead, however, it was pretty enjoyable. 

 

7/10

[Elite]

I'm loving The Sandman but they've gone a bit over the top with inclusivity, I'm half expecting a transgender albino dwarf to turn up soon.

Woodstock : Peace, Love and Rage was better

Had a look for a decent nostalgia thread but nothing jumped out so have put it here.

 

Some of the stars of Grange Hill get together. 

Zammo, Roland, Janet, and Tucker. 

 

I'm sure I read somewhere there's a grange hill reboot happening. New kids but I'm pretty sure that lot are expected to be involved. 

 

Ive also been catching up with better call Saul today. Maybe because I'm a bit tired, but I struggled.to follow it properly with the different timelines. It's not I'm getting the 2 confused, I'm struggling to remember what story they're telling us on the Jimmy timeline. I was thinking of watching el camino again before the last 2 episodes as I wondered if there's some overlap going to happen there.

I enjoyed it, more so for the fact that it's based on real acts of cuntery.

I enjoyed the first couple of episodes, now it’s struggling to hold my attention.

[Captain Howdy]

This is us. 7/10 Easy watch, family type thing, bit of a tearjerker for those far less manly than me.

[Carvalho Diablo]

I've just finished Black Bird, it was good, enjoyable but far from great.

 

It had aspirations to be True Detective or The Night Of but fell well short of both.

 

The acting was patchy and in the end, the story was pretty linear.

 

7/10 and that's probably a bit generous.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Like the look of The Sandman, but the film poster gives off ominous teeny MCU vibes. Can someone confirm or deny that please?

It’s rated 18 and is adult entertainment with adult themes. Just don’t expect it to be action orientated because the protagonists are godlike, not costumed superheroes.

Sounds interesting mate. Thanks.

Now on EP 4 of The Sandman and its still ace

[Colonel Bumcunt]

Severance is so well done. 

Ben Stiller nailed it. 

Bit of a modern masterpiece to be fair.

Yeah,it fizzled out and ended very abruptly. It was also a bit strangely edited too.
