Trevorkfevfan Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) One of my all time favourite westerns has to be "Appaloosa" with Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris. Quite a satisfying ending for a change as well! Really liked the Mudcrutch track - "Scare Esay" that ran over the credits but is not listed on the soundtrack oddly! Apologies! This should have gone into the film thread! Edited May 19, 2020 by Trevorkfevfan Error in posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just getting to grips and liking this "modern" take - a far cry from standard Hollywood series - and came across the very interesting link below: "Lost, soon to be forgotten." These words were recited by the fictional actress Camille Washington in Netflix's latest series, Hollywood. Washington, a black actress, is auditioning for the role inspired by Peg Entwistle, a real life movie actress born in Port Talbot, whose Hollywood career was cut short at the age of 24. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-52652619 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckn Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Finally got round to watching the last Star Wars movie after really not wanting to be let down as badly as I was with 7 and 8. Well, it wasn’t as bad as Battlefield Earth. Let’s leave it there.

Trevorkfevfan Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Just binge watched all seven series of "The West Wing" again. Some great actors amongst that cast. Then, after looking for more Aaron Sorkin stuff I have started watching "The Newsroom". Looking very promising so far. This missed me whyen it first came out but must admit Jeff Daniels plays a good part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep1673 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Does anyone remember the C4 show, After Dark? It was a round table, chat type show, where celebrities were given bucket loads of alcohol to talk rubbish. Maybe the BBC have sorted it with "I'll get this", I thought last nights show was the best of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool Rover Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Started watching Stumptown on Alibi. It is about a former marine who is suffering with PTSD who wants to become a private investigator and also has to look after her younger brother who has Downs Syndrome. It has been fun so far and not as serious as I have made it out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glemiln Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 The 3 series of The A-Word is currently on BBCIPlayer and the actor playing the autistic boy is exceptional. A well-written series that mirrors family perspectives is from the pen of Peter Bowker and with a very good cast including an excellent Christopher Eccleston. The mood changing Lakes District locations are perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Late last night/early this morning on BBC4, there was a documentary about Ike White. Ike who? Exactly; I hadn't heard of him either, but while doing time in a US jail, he recorded a remarkably accomplished album. Then, when he was released, his life got... complicated. Programme link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000jb6v And a sample track. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
