madthatter Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Watched Stranger Things a while back. Not too bad and Wynona Ryder was pretty good in it. Not seen the Walking Dead since it came back on. Much as I like it I'm not that arsed; needs to start picking up the pace for me. Good show, great settings, well acted but the writing and/or editing can be pretty poor imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persevere or fuck it off? stick with it gets better at the end of the first series then the second one is ace, best thing I've seen in a long time don't think I've ever seen anything that doesn't tail off around the middle before building up to a big finale bored stiff with Taboo that SS GB on last night looks alright, but seen reviews that say, yet again, you can't hear a thing and it's like they're all mumbling, seems to happen a bit these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter HomerJay Posted February 20, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2017 barely anything happened in SS GB and it was like we had missed the 1st episode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 , but seen reviews that say, yet again, you can't hear a thing and it's like they're all mumbling, seems to happen a bit these days Now then, sort of related to this, I was having this conversation with Mrs Sweep last night....... I've noticed of late, that all the channels seem to broadcast at different volumes. I can happily be watching something on one channel, then I turn over and have to increase the volume so I can hear......then if I change channel again, the volume is incredibly high. Is it just Virgin Media fucking about with me, or have others noticed that different channels seem to have different volumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I was led to believe that channels also increase the volume for the adverts, must admit since I have been told this I have noticed it myself, unless I'm going mad that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted February 20, 2017 Moderators Share Posted February 20, 2017 the biggest problem is that as panels get thinner and thinner, speaker quality suffers got to use a speaker system these days my problem with that is that few people have a room of the reet proportions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 the biggest problem is that as panels get thinner and thinner, speaker quality suffers got to use a speaker system these days my problem with that is that few people have a room of the reet proportions The sound on my TV is utter biz, so I've got a Bose speaker system that's pretty good - I do still hear a difference between channels though. It seems to be even worse if you go from SD to HD. Naturally, I don't watch anything in SD if I can help it.......but Mrs Sweep always seems to have an SD channel on when I come in, it annoys the fuck out of me, especially when there is usually an HD version of said channel.

Sweep Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 the next time mrs casino does that, theres bleach going in her eyes 'i can't see any difference' 'well, clearly youre fcuking blind' Last night, I came down from the man-cave and she was watching Good Karma Hotel, I looked at it and said "that's SD, get it switched over to Channel 113" - her response was something along the lines of "You're always going on about it, there's hardly any difference" It's like night and day to me, and yet she doesn't see it......although, as she barely lifts her head up from fucking about on her iPad, I'm sure she doesn't even glance at the screen for more than 1 second at a time anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamiwhite Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Currently watching The Team. Not a bad effort set in Antwerp, Copenhagen and Berlin,with Lars Thingymibob from the original The Killing in it. Also watching Elite Squad, decent French effort. Both on Channel 4's Walter Presents jobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted February 22, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted February 22, 2017 Is it a sign of my ever increasing years that the only person I've heard of was David Bowie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Best thing about Bowie winning is it stopped all that grime shit getting anything after they'd gone on and on about diversity. It doesn't win coz it's crap not coz you is black Edited February 23, 2017 by H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
