Just finished power, was fucking brilliant

Giving Goliath a go. Billy Bob Thornton as a sleazy lawyer. William hurt as his nemesis. Got me thinking just how high the level of acting is these days. There are some very high quality shows going under the radar.

Finished white lines

Liked it enough that if there was another one, id watch it

Cant always say that

 

Anybody watched bordertown as its popping up as a suggestion for me

Money is in shows not films anymore

The good stories are in shows too. If you don't want to don spandex and fight a cgi monster you may be better off on the small screen.

Aye, film stars and producers seem to be getting more opps via the streaming services than cinema and network tv

It’s the over inflated prices as well.
Don’t think we got change out of £20 the last time we went to the cinema, meanwhile I can sit at home in my boxers, few beers, watching a huge library on Netflix, Prime and iPlayer all cheaper than the cinema combined, if it’s shit I can turn it off and find something to else, or I can pause and nip out for a smoke. 
Hollywood know it. 

Finally did the first series of Homecoming yesterday, not 100% sure what I think about it but will give season 2 a go as they are very short episodes and Janelle Monae is in it.

Jeff Epstein doc on Netflix 

Wife and I watched all four episodes of Little Boy Blue last night with a mixture of heartbreak and absolute rage. All great acting of a tragic story.

Season 2 is ok, it just felt like an epilogue throughout

Correct, Marvel have been propping up Hollywood for years.

Money Heist. Very good

Up to episode 7 of series 1. Does it pick up the pace a bit? Meandering at present.

Yep, it has its moments but it is slow.

Just done first series but not rushing to get onto the second one yet.

 I might do just to see if Tokyo gets them out.

Yeah I get that. These days the gap in experience between what the 'big screen' in the cinema gives you and what you can put together in your living room has never been smaller. 

I would hate to lose the cinema though. I don't go all that often but I still enjoy the experience, unless I get unlucky with the audience. One thing which does bug me now is that some people eat constantly through the entire film. Entire nacho platters, giant popcorn bucket. Somewhere down the line we turned into the US.

I saw the trailer and it looks like my instincts were right. 

Mixing comedy and drama isn't easy. Too much of either ruins both.

The eating in a cinema is a mad one if you think about it it’s 2 hours, to go without eating and crunching away. I know cinemas don’t make a lot  from films so need to chuck the prices of everything else though.

Anyways back to our regular scheduled program
 

Few episodes into season 3 of Ozark. Wow.

I can't remember any other series with so many sociopathic, dysfunctional characters.

Wait until the last episode. 😱

You're doing well remembering character names after saying you wouldn't get hours back after watching it.
