Murder Mountain (disappearances + weed farms etc ) is a gripping doc, made all the more intriguing by the fact that I sat and had breakfast in Garberville last year with not a clue of the place's problems.

Has anyone mentioned Ash Vs Evil Dead yet?
Watched it recently and couldn't believe there hasn't been more fuss about it.
Absolutely brilliant stuff.

Marie Kondo tidying up programme. A relief to find people messier than me.

The Italian Suburra spin offs are pretty decent.

Almost done watching Parfum, a German series on Netflix, quite a disturbing theme if you're into that sort of thing.

T2 was a pretty thin nostalgia-fest that just lent of it's better predecessor. No wonder it ended up on Netflix

+1 Murder Mountain

Hugely enjoyable if a little saddening. Thst place is stunningly beautiful and bountiful, yet humans 😐

Very disappointed in it. Shoddily put together, embarrassing plot and ironically the overall feel was of an old raver going out again but trying a bit too hard.

Not recommended.

Ash v Evil Dead ... I remember the original film being the scariest film ever. I recently seen a clip of it, and it really was low budget.

But how did it turn into a comedy? (and a very funny one too)
I really cant remember the original being the slightest bit comical!!

Evil dead 1 was serious
Evil dead 2 was semi-serious
Evil dead 3 was for the lolz

After that they just carried on with the comedy.

The original definitely had touches of humour throughout. Also see Drag me to Hell for an example of how Raimi uses humour in his horror films.

They definitely took it to excess in the later ED films, though.

Just watched a couple of episodes of titans, and rather enjoying it.

The Domestics and The night ate the world both good watchable movies. The Domestics owes a lot to Warriors but if you dont mind that its great fun

Domestics wasnt bad just a little predictable. For post apocalyptic I preferred The Bad Batch. Got poor reviews but had an original feel to it.

Altered Carbon is very good.

The Expanse was good until they sold it to prime and it’s now dissappeared from everywhere.

House of Cards WAS good, but was best in its first 2 seasons.

I’ve has Titans on in the background this am as I’ve closed some audits off, seems Ok but I’ll have to watch it again as I missed quite a bit of what the story was.

The Siege of Jadotville - Based on a true story, if you like war films this is very, very good. Great story, great photography, excellent action scenes.

I watched the first episode of Sex Education last night. I don’t think I’m its target audience but it’s quite funny and I was surprised to see it was English - I expected it to be set in the US (not sure why though). Gillian Anderson is 😍

Why isn't there Porn on Netflix? We're all adults and we have the pin. Every single man enjoys porn and a lot of men live alone or at least find themselves alone at home at some point. Is there some sort of law against it? Netflix are missing a trick as who wouldn't enjoy that on the big tele.
1stnameWsurname and bikebuoy will now come and say they don't enjoy porn. 🤣🤣

Strongly recommend Great News for comedy fans.

Not massively original but has a superb cast and an exceptionally high number of proper LOLs.

Brooklyn 99 S5 finally coming in March too.

Well obviously there’s no porn per se but there is one film with full penetration in it - the problem with it is that’s it’s utter crap and I can’t remember what it’s called 😂

And there’s always Blue is the Warmest Colour... 😏

We watched La Mante (The Mantis) - Froggy police thriller. Quite dumb but entertaining enough.

I started Sex Education based on rave reviews but turned off after about 10 minutes.

Roma is a good film but loses something watching it on an iPad on a train.

And there’s always Blue...

There's the problem with Netflicks and all streaming services. I noticed Blue Velvet was available a couple of months ago, fancied watching it again over Christmas, by which time it had been removed. It's the interesting films, the stuff you don't watch so often, that become less available because unlike dvds where you can print a limited run it's probably not worth Prime/NF/whoever allocating server space to a marginal interest film.
Suddenly I'm wondering whether anyone has set up a streaming service purely for odd art films and unpopular stuff. *searches*

Netflix may have taken the business decision that there's a fairly big choice of grumble already available gratis on the web Jekkyl.

Do you want us to suggest some URLs?

Yes wordnumb - it’s very annoying. I recently watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople and when I recommended it to a friend it had disappeared.

SPLIT

A fond kiss

Both decent

The original EVIL DEAD (and ED2) was funny AF. Or was that just the drugkz?

T2 was actually quite clever in that they managed to make a sequel of the first film (which was not a patch on the book) but turn it around and make it more about a major character in the book (Spud) than Ewan ****ing McGreggor's teethy grin.
I didn't really like the film of Trainspotting when it first came out. Partly as I'd been living a Jakey/druggy/unemployed/petty criminal existance across from Leith Central Station when IW wrote/published Trainspotting and was blown away by it. I'd never read anything so real before. Infact. Some of the stories I read, I'd already heard from locals. (Names changed obvz).
T2 is what it is and you'll either enjoy it for what it is or maybe you won't. No need to be a snob about any films/Netflix

"Struggle: The Life & Lost Art of Szukalski" was recommended to me by a friend. It's an utterly jaw dropping documentary.

T2 was ok but would’ve been better if they made Porno as is

It ended up on Netflix as it’s coming up 2 years old.

No need to be a snob

Oooh, did the nasty man critise something you like? Given that you often give your unwelcome and ill-informed opinions to anyone regarless, like a dockside hooker with the clap. The lack of self awareness in your post reveals a level up until now diplayed only by pot plants

I'm enjoying Wanderlust at the moment. British comedy drama with Vod from fresh meat and Muriel from Muriels wedding plus Paul Kaye who I've always liked.

anyone else watched this? just going through old 'prime suspects' at the mo and will be wanting a new boxset soon. will probably try 'You' but also interested in Sex Education.

Yeah I’m really enjoying Sex Education. Highly recommended.

Need to look up the reason it’s obviously written by an American but set in “England”. It’s very odd as the “English Secondary” school is nothing of the sort - it’s an American school filled with English pupils.

Edit: OK, English writer deliberately calling back to Breakfast Club / Ferris Bueller etc. apparently.

I watched the first episode of Sex Education and thought it was dire. Gave the 2nd episode 10mins to confirm it.

You was pretty decent. As long as you don't try and take it seriously it's worth a watch.

Watched the Netflix movie Close last night. Garbage despite the lead.

Sex Education is one of those things that I won’t watch cos it’s like they’re forcing it on you! I open Netflix to continue a series I’ve been watching and all I’m confronted with is THIS! WATCH THIS! Well, no, piss off!
I believe this could be ‘cutting my nose off to spite my face’ but that’s something I’m well known for 😂

The fix is pretty good as a comedy program. The white rabbit project is clever, 3 of the ones from mythbusters doing interesting stuff

Sex Education becomes really rather good later in the series. It’s worth persevering. I really hope they make another series.
