Popular Post Stevo985 Posted February 26, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2018 I've just started Band of Brothers. Amazingly I've never seen it (although I think I watched the first couple of episodes once upon a time) Anyway, it's rather bloody good. And I'd never realised so many big names were in it! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rewatch it once a year without fail. Ep. 1 is the weakest. Just wait til you get to the Bastogne episodes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I've just realised I've lost a bet with the OH. I was convinced one of the cast members was Sam Rockwell and apparently it isn't (just googled it) In fact I'm still not convinced it isn't him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it on DVD when it first came out and never watched it. I need to sort that out, you've reminded me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think they used British actors to play a large number of the American soldiers to keep the costs down as they were recording it over here, now they get a zillion quid per movie. Great series though. The Pacific is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt until I got home that I realised every single one was a DVD I’d bought for him. Money well spent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for the piss me off thread really - There was a guest visitor at the houses of parliament last week who had his turban pulled off and had "go back home muslim" shouted at him, no doubt by someone who thinks brexit will do just that...And shared a link of Facebook about Aldi selling plain buns after removing the cross from their hot cross ones...

The ironic thing is Brexit will actually allow more Non EU immigrates to enter the country legally. Keeping on topic - I'm considering starting Vikings. Any recommendations?

TheAuthority Posted February 27, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2018 On 2/24/2018 at 17:25, sheepyvillian said: Just binged "Seven Seconds", which came out Friday on Netflix. It has echoes of the "Night Of", although not quite that good, ( that's one high bar )it still captivated me. It's about an off duty New Jersey cop, who is involved in a hit and run with a young African American. Although a bit long winded in part's, it contains some fine acting on top of a very emotive subject. I certainly recommend this one. Thanks for this - just started yesterday and I've already burned through 4 episodes. Got me hooked for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
