Speaking of Tulsa King, did anyone else chuckle at Martin Starr's line about 'working at an Intetnet startup for five years'? Clearly a nod to his Gilfoyle character from Silicon Valley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The Last of Us has started today, shaping up to be one of the best if the reports are accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzzle Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I do wonder if someone that hasn't played the games like I haven't will be jizzing over The last of us like everyone that has played it seems to be atm. I suppose it is a good sign that the gamers like it though and I am looking for to watching it tonight. Part of me was expecting the usual 'oMg iTs So wOke' comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted January 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2023 The things that made the Last of Us a special game are the things that will translate most successfully to the screen - it has a very good story and characters, it's very cinematic in it's telling, and has lots of very striking sequences. Its one of a very rare group of games that you could get pretty much as much out of watching it as you could playing it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Finished The Rig at the weekend, really enjoyed it, I love the weird stuff. Great cast, plenty of familiar faces. Open for a second series I guess but not sure what they could open it up to. I wouldn't want it turning into Lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, not sure if anyone other than HBO could get it to work but you can trust them to pay the money for the shine that this will deserve For me personally it's hands the best story in any game ever, it's incredible and one of the few 10/10 classic games where I would say the gameplay at times actually isnt that good but yet it still works so well Sounds like they nailed the casting and the performances which after the deviations was always going to be the problem, Ellie in particular has hard shoes to fill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted January 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2023 Finished Our Flag Means Death. Fun, very watchable. It’s not laugh a minute sitcom, but I don’t mind that, it’s more of a rom com which wasn’t what I was expecting. It’s nice seeing Rhys Darby in a fully fledged leading role, I’ve missed him. And sorry, have to say it, Taiki Waititi looks ****ing brilliant as Blackbeard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKY even said at the end of their article they have approached Amazon for comment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd not seen the original but really enjoyed the new thing on BBC. You'd have thought given it's called "Mystery Road: Origin", I might have twigged that there was something else in the canon. Will have to check that out now too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Started Bad Sisters last night. It is so good, though never have I wished for a violent death to befall someone so much since Jofre from GoT. The dude is such a prick. Only 2 episodes in but feels like we might binge through it very quickly Prediction Spoiler the wife actually loses her shit and does it maybe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Sharon Horgan's work atm. Just started "Motherhood" on Netflix which is very funny which she was a writer for.
