  • TFA Good: 3 Bad: 2 RO Good: 3 Bad: 2 TLJ: Good: 3 Bad: 1 Sue me I liked all 3, TFA is actually the weakest due to a large part of it remaking SW. RO I liked straight away more than TFA, it's not perfect but it's a more satisfying exp…
  • Was most satisfied, I can see what has got fan boys panties in a bunch but for me the bravery to take it somewhere else and subvert Star wars lore made it far more satisfying than just going the same route that JJ went. My worry is now that becau…
  • Dance would be great for the later stages of Phillip although I really don't see Tennant or Law. Other forums I've been on have mentioned Eccleston, he'd be terrific alongside Coleman. I think everyone has been great, Wise was very good as Mou…
  • S2 was another slice of quality, The Crown really is an astounding achievement. Claire Foy has been astounding as HRH, it's really one of the finest performances in television history and also Matt Smith as Phillip. I don't see the issue with …
  • Much appreciate all the kind words guys, it will be a week tomorrow it happened and we both still can't quite believe it. I must agree pets are family member, even more so for us as we've not been able to have children so our cats have been ours.…
  • My Wife and I had to say goodbye to one of our cats Tilly this Thursday just gone (she's in my avatar). Not sure how it happened but my Wife had the horrible misfortune to find her outside the back of our house lying on the pavement dead. It l…

  • DAD is terrible but I don' care I wasn't really invested in it when I went to see it, the PB era is my least liked with the exception of GE. Although SP I was and it was such a missed opportunity and an utter disappointment and though I'll likel…
  • Pine Barrens was directed by Steve Buscemi and it's a Pauly & Christopher centric episode, if you'd seen it you'd know, definitely one of the very best episodes. For me Soprano's only has the Wire that betters it like that the acting is impec…
  • Although I own a Sony MP3 player and use it when I'm out on the move most of my listening is done properly in the comfort of my living room, I only tend to listen to music during weekends and days off and it will always be my Rega Planar RP3 record …
  • Now officially confirmed by Mendes on 6 Music in the UK a few weeks back, Radiohead did have the job, Mendes said he had got BB to sign off on it and they were due to go with this song until someone noticed that RH had actually been playing it live …
  • Personally I'd rather Mendes had nothing more to do with Bond but I have a sneaking suspicion that he might be directing B25 much to my horror. I just hope the stories of him and Craig falling out are true and he won't work with him again and we …

  • Seriously not Cruise in a QT film, thought Quentin had more imagination than picking that grinning goon for one of his films. I can't stand him, he's infected enough why can't he just go away and be a good scientologist. I just don't understan…

  • When people who actually know what they are talking about share their insight I have a greater belief in their posts, most of what is going on at the moment in this thread is @ColonelSun genorously offering his experience and knowledge while arm cha…
  • Mindhunter right up to the end doesn't disappoint. It's rare when a series impresses you on all levels and not at one point you feel disappointed with it. I'd prefer Fincher directed all of the next season and not bother with World War Z 2 but…
  • Mindhunter just continues to get better, only 3 more to go which I'll be watching tonight and Fincher's back in the driving seat for the last 2, my series of 2017. Will be waiting with baited breath for Season 2.
  • This all pretty much subjective someone out there will like the ending of TND, TWINE or DAD me I'd rather have my eyes poked out. To be honest I think any Bond film goes a long way to top OHMSS ending, it bettered YOLT's big battle and even SWLM …
  • The prices in the UK I could never watch sub standard films at the cinema, I probably go about around 4 - 5 times a year now. I've got to want to see the film and it has to merit the big screen treatment for me to go. Lucky Logan I could have wa…
  • I just don't like the Brosnan films with the exception of GE and that was only recently reasessed, they don't appeal and never will, I pretty much ignore the other 3. I'm glad I came round to GE so I don't have to stop at LTK now but that is wher…
  • Mindhunter Only 2 episodes in and I'm engrossed and fascinated, dialogue heavy and darkly funny, just the ticket, I'm a sucker for anything Fincher. Liking Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany & Hannah Gross, Cameron Britton leaves quite and im…
  • SF's climax in another category to both of the unexciting generic endings in SP. I don't get the Home alone parallel remind of the bit where Kevin blows up a house and brings a helicopter crashing in an inferno, such a lazy comparrison. I real…

  • 2001 is one of those films that you can admire and undoubtedly it's a masterpiece but I found it so slow and really didn't engage me at all. I don't mind slow paced films but they have to grab me and short of the incredible opening and the visual…
  • While I certainly don't want another Bond like DC I can see his hold on the series still being echoed in the way the next actor approaches the role. You can have your favourites and think what you like but no actor threw themselves into the role …
