Very loosely inspired by Fleetwood Mac

I wouldn't have guessed...

[Acorn1]

Just finished Daisy Jones - that was really good, the music was great!

[Its Just Adz]

We have finished Your Honour S2, really good! Great ending too....

Seen a trailer for Yellowjackets on same channel, any good?

Three Thousand Years of Longing.

Absolutely brilliant. A series of deep stories that you loose yourself in. One of those films during which the outside world disappears.

I have a theory that, the smaller the cast, the better the film. This was just Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba so it was bound to be good. And it was.

Really enjoyed this too, It was a bit more involving than most films as you adequately described.

Willy's Wonderland - really not sure what to make of it. It's certainly not good, actually it's pretty crap - kinda like a slo-mo car crash but despite thst I've seen worse


ETA - it's a Nic Cage film....

Good recommendation this. Certainly different from the usual stuff that served up these days.

Also: the Mad Max connection for PHers!

Documentary - But if you've ever been into any sort of bodybuilding it's pretty interesting going down the rabbit-hole of roid and synthol users taking it to the extreme, and the consequences...

Anyway super interesting

Operation Fortune - Guy Ritchie’s latest and a take on the Mission Impossible genre. After The Gentlemen, I had high hopes but this fell a bit flat. There’s action but it’s by the books fighting, shooting and explosions. There’s humour but nothing that prompted more than a smile. There’s acting, sort of.

I watched it again last night and I love it. Humour is there but more subtle and low-key which suits me rather than the slapstick that Hollywood passes off as humour. The character interactions, particularly their on-going war with "Mike" worked for me, and the way each of them interacted with their various management layers.

And I totally love Aubrey Plaza. She's my kind of quirky.

Have you seen ‘Emily the criminal’? Enjoyed it.

[Macron]

Anyone started The Swarm yet?

If you skip over the apparent absence of all forensics, it's.... Weird but quite good, in a definitely quite weird way.

That 3000 years of longing thing? Idris and accents. Sorry, he really isn't good at them. He sounds little different to his cartoon police chief in Zootopia...

I've seen both.

5/10 for both.

Just watched it.
An enjoyable tale. Didn't pick my phone up once and as I said previously, I do like be Aubrey Plaza.

I stand corrected, a 5/10 is quite generous for The Swarm. I suspect the theory was better than the produced reality, which was weird, with odd length episodes, odd length timings, and the now infuriatingly inevitable set up for a further season that Amazon persists with.

There is much better out there to watch.

Rabbit Hole

Starring Kiefer Sutherland.
Corporate espionage, and being framed for murder.
4 episodes in and loving it.
