  1. Anyway, we'll see. After suffering through Sicario, Prisoners, Bladerunner 2049 and Arrival, it'd be relief to get a really good film out of Villeneuve, especially as I love the book.
  2. Yeah, I was just reading the Wikipedia entry- seems it's going to be like the recent It adaptation, although this is a bit alarming- So a four film series, or is the first film half the book? If the former, they really should have done a TV series, it'd be well suited to a ten episode series.
  3. Weird. Wasn't there a TV series not so long ago? I'm sure I remember watching it and sighing as it was a bit naff.
  4. I enjoyed the Lynch version, incomprehensible like, but looked great. My only reservation about the new one is that it's directed by fucking Villeneuve. I take it it won't be compressed into a single movie? It'd be really hard to do justice to the novel, especially with Villeneuve's windbag tendencies.
  5. This is the only song of theirs I can tolerate, aside from the usual terrible lyrics- 'I've got soul, but I'm not a solider', ffs. The UK version of the video is miles better than the official one though-
  6. 'Taking back control' apparently means just allowing a government to do what the fuck it wants.
  7. It's possible, but the positivity rate (i.e. the number of positive tests/ total number of tests) is also rising. Also, I'm not sure we are actually testing more people as they don't give that data out any more- just the overall number of tests, rather than the actual number of people.
  8. It probably will work out proportionally in the end, that's the worry. Currently, up to 70% of new cases are in the under-40s group. As pointed out in that article and several others that Sugar Ape posted for other countries, younger people appear to be more likely to expose themselves to the virus than other groups-
  9. So it's basically a Daily Mail editorial with charts. I'd agree that it isn't a second wave in the sense of the Spanish 'flu one, it's a resurgence of the first wave due to easing of restrictions. Regarding the France data, there was this a few weeks ago which again concurs with the theory that it's young(er) people accounting for the increase in infections, the obvious danger is that it then becomes widespread in more vulnerable groups- https://www.connexionfrance.com/French-news/Covid-in-France-Why-cases-rising-but-hospitalisations-not-epidemiologist-explains-and-warns-risk-still-exists Also, this shows that hospitalisations in France have risen by about 10% or so in the last couple of weeks from around 4530 at the end of August to 4960 now- https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=https://www.gouvernement.fr/info-coronavirus/carte-et-donnees&prev=search&pto=aue
  10. Says the person quoting from a Toby Young website.
  11. So it's just something written for the Lockdown Sceptics website. Saves me ten minutes reading it.
  12. Is this an actual published, peer-reviewed paper, or just a comment piece for the impartial Lockdown Sceptics website, run by that expert Toby Young?
  13. Hopefully with clauses in the contracts, be just like these dickheads to end up buying shitloads of stuff that doesn't work.
  14. You took the pic from the back of the Burger King parking lot?
  15. They did take it a bit far though, it kind of went the other way- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spooks_(TV_series)#The_Grid_(deceased) Spoilers there, obviously.
  16. Still haven't seen Patel denouncing those fine, upstanding British patriots who blockaded Dover port.
  17. The Trump disease control method...
  18. To be fair, that one decision did stop them dominating the entire world for decades thereafter.
  19. That's ridiculous. My sister is also potentially very vulnerable due to steroid and methotrexate treatment and her school have allowed her to wear both a mask and visor in classrooms.
  20. It's taking 7 days for some care homes to get test results for their staff, that's if they can get tests. You'd think after the earlier catastrophe they would be prioritised.
  21. My sister warned me the third series was really poor in comparison, so I dodged it completely. Shame as I wanted to see Gillian fully explore her lesbian tendencies and really grow as a character.
