Martial arts films that don't take themselves too seriously can be fun - the best of Jackie Chan's pre-Hollywood output mixes astonishing action and slapstick pretty well. The first 'Rocky' film isn't bad. Okay, the fight scenes are silly, but there's some good performances otherwise. Mate: no, just no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was beginning to feel slightly unnerved by your uncanny ability to mirror my likes and dislikes of TV programmes and music/musicians, it was as if you'd managed to access my TV planner and record collection I love Wallace and Grommit.☺ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I need more episodes of The League of Gentlemen. Three wasn't enough, but at least we now know who's taken over as the purveyor of "the special stuff".

Wiltshire Rhino Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Peaky Blinders is an absolutely brilliant TV show! Only problem is the next series wont be until 2019.

jacksy Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Not TV but movie related. Star Wars TLJ is awful. Rugby Union the only game in the world were the spectators handle the ball more than the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of dullness in the first forty minutes but once it hits its stride I think it's not bad at all. Nowhere near as good as Rogue One but then no other SW film is either.

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

I love Star Wars and all things sci fi/fantasy related. However, this movie just didnt do anything for me. Maybe after Rogue One i was expecting something more.

Vernon Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Great thing about catch up TV, box sets, Netflix, Amazon Prime means you aren't tied to a schedule - so some good things I've watched recently include Motherland, Life in Pieces, Two Doors Down, Hello Ladies - and some Seinfeld !

Bedford Roughyed Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) I think I might be finally ditching Sky. I mostly watch BBC, C4 etc. Don't have movies or sports. The main reason I kept Sky was for Game Of Thrones, and thats not back till 2019. iPlayer + Netflix + Youtube + Amazon Prime should see me right.

Shadow Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Back on track Last night I started watching The Indian Detective on Netflix. Sadly the large portion of Toulouse Sausages and potatoes with 2 glasses of Rioja meant I will need to start again but what I was awake for looked quite entertaining.
