It is very good and as you say has a deeper message, whatever you do don't watch the American version.

Masters Of The Universe : Revelation. The Kevin Smith produced follow on from the 80s series. Mark Hamill voicing Skeletor, along with Kevin Conroy, Sarah Michelle Gelllar, Lena Headey, Alicia Silverstone, Henry Rollins and others in the cast too smile .



July 23rd.

Oh hell fking yes...

Is it feature length or a series?

On the He Man front.... "The Toys that made Us", documentary series about toys from that era. He-man episode was awesome!

Also... *The power of grayskull... The definitive history". Well worth watching for the old fans of he-man. A fascinating look into the history of this billion dollar franchise!

i was bought up on this as a kid, and pretty disappointed really, it just looks the same with different voices. i think there is definitely an over hyped thing going on here.

Why does it need to look different? I can't think of one series they have brought back and then changed the look that really worked


This is a follow on not a reboot so imho should look the same.

Agreed. Even as a teenager back in the day it was only sometimes amusing kitsch rubbish. Thought of fondly, but only like other crap but endearing TV like Corrie.

Is it better than “rich house poor house swap” on Ch5? If so I’m in.

Have we talked about Startup yet?

It's about a Cryto newco, bent FBI agent, and gangs. Into S3 now and enjoying it.

The trailer makes you think it must be good and funny because of what it's about and who's in it. And you turn out to be terribly terribly wrong.

Having rethought my original score from the Films thread, I now give this 0 out of 10. Biggest waste of time I've seen and I've watched some utterly terrible films.

It's like some sort of weird art project made by people who think they're really clever, but ended up just wasting the time of everyone involved and anyone who watched. Fairly obvious that no one in it really cared at all and just took the money.

At least your average really st film has the excuse of no budget and no experienced actors in it.

The whole thing is an insult to cinema created by a director who clearly overdosed after sniffing too many of their own farts.

Obviously The New Yorker loved it and gave it a good review based on how clever it was (dahling).

It would have been OK without the two or three references to the script - without those it would have been mildly entertaining cameo piece, with odd bits of good humour, but it was just too "clever" for its own good. Wouldn't give it 0, but maybe a 3 or 4.

Just watched Fatherhood.

I'm not a big Kevin Hart fan but enjoyed it, probably not that relatable if you don't have kids.

A solid 6.5/10.

I'm half way through ep2. 'Ominous' so far. Also strangely compelling. And beautiful.

Have you watched it all? Is it worth the investment?

Some proper tyre action going on though yum

I’m on 4.
It’s certainly not fast moving but it’s bumbling along.

Looks stunning though. The landscapes are beautiful.

I have my own theory so I’m gonna see if I’m right.
