VILLAMARV Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 7 hours ago, sne said: A acquaintance of mine lived and worked in Israel/Palestine on and off for about a decade and made 2 documentaries during that time. One about life in Hebron and one about the the Israeli peace movement. Both are worth a watch if you can find them. There was a great documentary, I think it was nominated for the oscars amongst other accolades, called 5 Broken Cameras that I've probably mentioned years ago in this thread. Well worth a watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 That Captain Tom documentary was a bit damming on the family. No doubt they squandered money out the charity, but its as if its never happened before, its just Tom's charity was under the media spot light and they should have known better. Greed aye! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Watching the Beckham documentary. The episode dealing with the fall- out from his sending off against Argentina. The part where is Mother spoke how difficult it was for her to see people abusing her Son like that. It made me think, there is nothing in this World like a Mother's love, absolutely nothing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The Innocence Files on Netflix. That dentist who was responsible for locking up those poor men in Mississippi due to his phony bite mark evidence, what a despicable human being he is.

sheepyvillian Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Nearly at the end of "The Lost Eichmann Tapes" on iplayer. Regardless of the controversy surrounding Israel today, when listening to first - hand accounts of the atrocities committed by the Nazi's towards the Jews, one can not help but become almost traumatised that Human beings are capable of such sickening sadistic behaviour on such a massive scale. It really does beggar belief when you see dead bodies being bulldozed into a pit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Watching the Billy Connolly:Made in Scotland documentary. I always enjoy when he does these kind of shows. However, I have to be honest, I always thought his bum and the bicycle joke he done on Parkinson was terrible then and even worse now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Watched Take Care of Maya last night. A Netflix documentary about a family in America whose child gets ill and they are accused of child abuse. Shocking and really sad. Well worth a watch.

sheepyvillian Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Whilst watching the Beckham doc I was wondering in regards to the Ali G interview, how on earth did I ever think he was funny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 That was some Real Madrid side in the late nineties. Just shows you how good Steve Mcmanaman was, he was a mainstay in that side. That's who I always thought Grealish was similar to, in the way he played. As Beckham said, "what player wouldn't want to play for them"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His original 11 o'clock show stuff was great when nobody was in on the joke. By the time of that interview he'd exploded and had his own show (which was gash). The Borat rebrand was great until again, everyone know who/what the character was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the "11 o'clock show". It just hasn't aged well, the Ali G character, that is. Personally, I think the Borat and Bruno characters are much, much funnier.

villa4europe Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I thought Bruno was painfully unfunny personally, had to work a lot harder to get a reaction and even then half the time I didn't think the reaction was because of deep underlying homophobia it was because he was being a clearing in the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Postmaster, docu/program is a good watch. Absolutely devistating what the post office did to those people. The CEO who was at the heart of the scandal, actually got a CBE when she left her role for 'services to the post office, I mean I'm lost for words. Truely shocking the way it was all handled, trusting the Horizon computer system over Post clerks who had been in the job years. A few even had to pay the post office back money that wasn't even stolen, 10's and hundreds of thousands, losing there houses and livelyhoods, an never actually got it back. Compensation was pitance, where are the shit hot solicitors when you need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
