Likewise, a very good watch, get rid of the preconceptions of Liam and watch it, not brilliant but dumbed down Liam is a better one, the irish girl in it is just brilliant! Might look up what else shes been in, good actress, i find that kind of woman very appealing.
Genuine question, but which Irish girl? There are three (one actual girl and two young women). I thought the IRA character was hamming up the feral just a bit but the other two did well.

She was in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Watched Bullet Train last night, one of the best films ive seen in an age, very pulp fiction with a bit of kill bill , and loads of big names in it. Amazed ive never heard of it before.
The media reviewers took against it as the source was a novel by Kōtarō Isaka with Japanese characters, so the casting of Brad Pitt and the rest was seen as whitewashing.

Currently watching Fiasco in France. It's French, but I think it's available in the UK.

Mockumentary / The Office type thing about a disastrous film set.

Fun.

Wait until they hear what other people did based on Kurosawa's work.

Obviously each to their own, but we enjoyed it. Currently watching Killing Eve, interesting plot, bit light hearted in places, and I won’t mention the scene before a shot is of some sausages in a frying pan, if you have seen it, you will remember. laugh
come on this is PH

no one mentioned the cracking Capri 3 litre GXL

I loved seeing the cars, but every single one of them, and there were many, were in absolutely pristine, and perfectly clean, condition; kinda ruined the reality of it a wee bit for me.

Oh, and the firearms (pistols) in the final shoot-out scene, most hadn't been invented until around 30 years later. smile


It was clumsy in parts, but overall an enjoyable watch. He should do more of that sort of stuff, god knows he doesn't need the Hollywood bucks.

Very noticeable the condition of all the cars, straight out of the car wash for every scene especially the Capri, still enjoyable though.

A Man in Full

Easy to miss, brilliant performance from Jeff Daniels.

It’s a bit succession ish but lots of lovely layers.

Yes we enjoyed it - also thought Succession at first but thankfully it was better than that!

Life on Mars is fantastic. The follow-up series Ashes to Ashes never quite reached the same levels but is still well worth watching after IMO. Finishes off the show nicely, plus you get the Quattro smile

Not on Netflix, seems to be available free on UK Play TV (or something like that).

I really want to rewatch it all now.
