Invincible. 18 rated animated superhero show.
Well acted, well animated, straightforward telling of a story in a world of superheros. All the characters are familiar archetypes of heroes and villains, much like the Seven in The Boys are analogous to the Justice League.
But it’s not a comedy or an ironic deconstruction of the genre, which is what you’d except of an 18 rated animated show.
It gets brutal as they show how much damage a super strong being can do to the human body.

I've been watching "Start Up" on Amazon. It's a good distraction from the pain of the elliptical trainer in the gym.
Anywaaaaay, Martin Freeeman plays a crooked FBI agent chasing the crooked dollar in / around Miami in the modern world. It's a pretty good distraction. (You'd also never have thought "Tim Cantebury" would have got laid so often!

Start Up is great, keep watching as it gets better and better as the seasons roll on...Anywaaaaay, Martin Freeeman plays a crooked FBI agent chasing the crooked dollar in / around Miami in the modern world.

I turned it off shortly after the young fella getting walloped in the high school. Just couldn't take to it at all, found it wooden and dull. Probably just not my cup of tea, but does the rest of the episode get any better? I'll give everything 2-3 episodes to give it a chance, so it's not often I turn something off during the first episode.

I think we’re alone now Post Apocalypse type end of Human race with Peter Dinklage as a lone survivor cleaning up his town and burying bodies whilst categorising the library until a typical (teenage) girl arrives and ruins his peace. Superbly shot and directed and darkly humorous. Doesn’t have great reviews elsewhere but we really enjoyed this.
5, not politically correct, out of 7 Dwarves.

Stumbled upon an interesting documentary called New Town Utopia.
Focus was primarily on how Basildon came to be but also looks at the long disproved theories as to how live should be lived in the future and the absurd design ideas that people had to endure (heating in the ceiling because the sun radiates heat downwards!!!).

I donated to that film when it was being made via Kickstarter (got a signed Blu-ray and I believe a credit in return) - pleased that it's being watched.

Oddly I had to pause on the credits to get the names of a few other contributors as I'm sure I used to work with one of them (Phil Burdett) but still none the wiser if its the same Phil Burdett!
As an aside, would you happen to know if anyone involved with the film had any involvement with this music vid?... very similar vibe and feel!

I live in an 'award winning' 1972 bungalow.It won it's award for 3 things - design, cavity wall insulation (not common in 1972) and it's ceiling heating.
One of the things we liked about the place was that it was almost unchanged when we moved in, the only thing added were storage heaters and when we tried to use the ceiling heating we discovered why - it seems very good at heating the top 12" of a room but not so much the rest.
Being resistive foil sheets between all the rafters it's also fearsomely expensive to use, my dad tells me that in 1972 it was widely thought that, as nuclear power came onstream electricity would become 'too cheap to meter'.
We soon installed gas central heating.
