hogso Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I was discussing the LOTR films at work the other day (stemming from a conversation about Xmas movie traditions), it's odd to think they were filmed 18 years ago. That's a long **** time ago man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a long **** time ago man. I always think about stuff like this. When I was growing up in the 90s, if someone showed me a film from the late 70's early 80's that would seem ancient. yet films that came out in the 90's don't seem old to me in the slightest. it scares me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 6, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2017 Finished Stranger Things 2 on the weekend. It was... ok. I thought it was a bit slow to get going, then once it did get going it was pretty damn good, whilst never reaching the heights of the first one. The let down for me was the Eleven storyline, no spoilers. I just didn't really care about her this time around. Worth a watch, but a bit of a let down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 6, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2017 Started on Mindhunter after that. That's very promising indeed. 3 episodes in and I'm enjoying it a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 finished narcos season 3 last night it dropped to probably 8/10 for me, still really enjoyed it, the 2 new DEA agents were ok and pena is good enough to carry it, david was fleshed out a bit but didnt quite hit the mark, nevegante is a better nutter baddie character, jorge's story arc was decent enough, the CIA meddling / corruption stuff was good, id say my biggest disappointment was with the cali cartel, miguel and gilberto are the bigger players so got more screen time but chepe and pacho are the better characters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much echo my thoughts there, was always going to struggle to reach the heights of the first one, especially when it came out of nowhere with no expectations behind it.

Hide contents The storyline with Max's stepbrother and stepfather didn't really seem to go anywhere and the inclusion of them both seemed a bit pointless. I thought he was going to end up being a hero towards the end or something but nothing came of it. Same with Eleven and her 'sister'. You could skip that whole episode and the only thing you'd wonder is where Eleven got her new clothes. It gave a little bit of background of Eleven I guess, but I didn't think it was really necessary. I'm guessing they were just set up for a third season. My thoughts exactly. Definitely set ups for future seasons Spoiler I would guess given that Eleven and her sister are 8 and 11, there could well be at least 9 others out there who might all play a part. Which to be honest sounds quite shit now that I've suggested it! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Anyone know what's happening with House of Cards now? I've only sat through the last two series in the hope Frank Underwood gets his comeuppance and got a feeling it'll never happen now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have shut down production but want to resume with the story focusing on Claire iirc. Who is the worst part of the show by miles. And if they aren't dealing with Spacey anymore I don't imagine it'll be a clean transition to that plot line and won't be weird at all that the main character has literally vanished. The show's effectively dead imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought Bob Mortimer looks a bit like Kevin Spacey, they could get him to do it instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 6, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2017 The most recent season of House of Cards bored me to tears anyway. Only got to about episode 4 and gave up. Shame because it started off as a brilliant show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the last one was alright but the one before with the Russian President was one of the hardest watches I've ever had. Having slogged through it and not getting a proper finish after all that effort will be a bit of a shitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge fan of the first season of Eastbound and Down - it's almost the perfect season of comedy in my eyes and I must have watched it at least 20 times. The other three, not so much. They were mostly pretty shit and relied too much on shock value. Vice Principals is similar in that it doesn't seem to have any actual jokes - it's just people swearing at each other with the occasional shocking/uncomfortable moment. The only laughs for me have been Gamby's turns of phrase. But that's better than no laughs at all and after saying all this, on the whole, I've enjoyed it. Only 1 episode to go and i think that's it, i;m sure i read they are only doing 2 seasons. Spoiler Thought it was interesting that when Gamby confronted Russell about shooting him he didn't actually say it was him. Will be interesting to see where they go with that, if it even was him or maybe he knows who did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
