All this Mayhem

Great documentary about Aussie skateboarder brothers , don't google it or you'll find out how it ends, watch it as a drama, their lives were comprehensively videoed by mates over the years so it feels "real" ...cos it is !
Thanks for the heads up on this, would have ignored it otherwise, really strong documentary

Great film.

Orange Is The New Black season 3 starts tomorrow smile

Also got the email from Netflix, £6.99 subscription will be going up to £7.50 next year. Rising like the price of Freddo's laugh
The whole of season 3 is available to stream online if you wanna binge! couchtuner

I was back on this the other day too. Really hardly watch a lot of TV, in fact only thing I've watched for weeks. Definitely worth it.

"Hot Girls Wanted"

Thought I'd watch it thinking it might be mildly titillating it was actually quite sad
I watched half of it, then turned it off, depressed.
I was the same, but I went back after a couple of days and watched the end. It was quite sad, the girl that bottled telling her dad said she'd only kept $2000 from the $25000 that she had made.

I have Netflix but was told about shush.se by a friend at the weekend. It has loads of series on that stream from your smart TV browser.

Load up the homepage, click the big image advertising any given series and it lists everything they have. It makes it easier to zoom out to 75% to see more on the screen at any one time.

Click what you want and it plays. All very simple and no adverts. It also has movies.

If it's box sets/series you want then there would be no need to have netflix in future.

N.B - I haven't tried it on a laptop etc.

I'll second that, definitely worth a watch.

Watched Guvnors on UK region last night - wasn't expecting much as I thought it would just be another cheap naff football hooligan film but really enjoyed it. It was about an old 'firm' being challenged by some young scrotes looking for some kudos on a hellhole estate in London, was well acted, and a good story...Not quite up there with Harry Brown but worth a watch

A warning to anyone using 'Hola Better Internet' to view Netflix in other countries. They were found to be using the extension to open up your network as a VPN, basically giving random people access into your network...

What vpn bouncer are people using? I've used SurfEasy to date but it's not happy with it - having just come back from Texas it would be great to see some U.S. stuff.

Last episode of Sons of Anarchy tonight. Thoroughly enjoyed the series, brutal at times but very gritty and entertaining.

Will be jumping back into OITNB season 3 afterwards (should only take a week) then rewatching The Walking Dead prior to the new season in October.

Conversely....
Watched Guvnors the other day and turned it off after 20 minutes, thought it was cliche hell and the acting was terrible.

I've been on a bit of a documentary binge, watched and enjoyed Blackfish (Orcas in captivity) and The House I Live in (US war on drugs), thought both very good. Also rewatched Bowling for Columbine, so sad and the comparison of US vs Canada is interesting. Some entertaining moments, Michael Moore is still a massive scruffy bellend though.

Been watching Criminal minds on US Netflix for the last few weeks.

Brilliant.

I use Unblockus, cheap, safe and very user friendly.
