Reason I watched it on Netflix this time was I downloaded it and watched it on the way to work with earphones in, in the film when Baby takes out one of his earphones to talk to someone the music he's listening to only carries on playing in YOUR earphone corresponding to the one he still has in. So when he takes the left one out the music only plays in your right earphone. Wouldn't notice it as much on a home set up but it's obviously very noticeable with earphones and is a wonderful little bit of detail.

That's pretty cool actually.

Reminds me of seeing Tron: Legacy at the cinema in 3D. As I recall, the parts in the "real world" aren't in 3D (or if they are it is very very toned down) to emphasise the artificial construct of being inside the computer.

Same as how in the original Matrix the parts where they are inside The Matrix has a slightly green tint to the colour balance.

I saw Sicario 2 in Sense-atronic at my local cinema. When a bloke got his brains shot out in a splatter of blood and gore a sudden fine mist spray was delivered to my face from the back of the seat in front. Was just like being there.

Just started The Night Agent tonight. So far, it's good.

I'm half an hour in before I left for work. Ok so far.

On episode 9. Nothing spectacular but overall pretty good.

Finished it and I agree. It was well produced but a fairly standard story.

Apologies if it’s already been covered, but I watched the Chris Rock special last night.
Didn’t find it that funny, and some of it was needlessly offensive IMHO.

I binged it, quite enjoyed it for what it was, setting itself up for a sequel season or 2?

Anyone watched the Waco documentary yet?

No, but I saw another one recently.

While I know this isn't helpful to you, the true crime documentary market has become saturated.

Every terrestrial, satellite and streaming channel releasing at least one film/documentary about the the same thing. It's like having permanent deja vu: did we see that? I think so, but that's new. Oh it must have been on Sky, or.. , or...

I thought this. Having watched lots before. I was wrong. It's well worth a watch.

[smithyithy]

I've watched a docu about it before that was uploaded to YouTube, same with Jonestown, horrible but fascinating story.

[Acorn1]

Just finished re-watching Queens Gambit.

Probably enjoyed it more 2nd time around - Superb.

[pquinn]

Finally got around to watching Season 4 of You.

Totally insane plot taken as a whole but very watchable. I don't think you'd easily guess all the directions it goes in.

[Stuart70]

Got round to “the bank of Dave”.

Good family Saturday night feel good film.

Watched it the other night. Madness!

I’ve just come on to post about this - watched all three episodes last night. I’ve read books and watched the other series about this and this latest Netflix one is very good - some quite amazing unseen footage.

Bit of trivia for you all - I only discovered a couple of years ago that a little girl who died in the fire (along with her mother) is the half sister a good friend of mine (same father).

May have to watch this a second time too, such a good film even for non chess lovers like myself.

Very interesting docu. Obviously some sinister goings on within the cult by Koresh, and as admitted by one of the girls / women that got out... But the handling of the situation by the FBI etc was appalling..

I watched it and not sure there was ever going to be a favourable outcome. You cannot legislate for stupid. Those 28 kids were murdered by their own parents and that paedo scumbag Koresh as far as I'm concerned. Utter scum, the lot of 'em.

Just finished "My Name" a Korean drama. Enjoyed it - some excellent action scenes, cops, crime bosses and a decent story line.

That led me on to "The Glory", another Korean drama that I'm half way through. Girl who was severely bullied at school plots and exacts her revenge on the perpetrators a dozen years later. Recommend this one too.

Superbad

Seth Rogan does American Graffiti.

Starring Jesse Eisenberg.
No sorry Adam Samberg.
Ach sorry I meant Micaheal Cera

It's been on the list for so long but never quite got round to watching it.

Stone cold classic. It's been a while since I've watched a film that had me genuinely lol'ing as much as this. Great fun.

Better watched with a teenage daughter

9/10

Finished The Night Agent this evening. Pretty solid. Bit typical American in places but overall definitely worth a watch I think.

Finding Micheal

Documentary. Wealthy family try to find a family member who died near the summit of Everest 20 years ago.

Visually great; intercut with footage from the ill fated climb

Disney+ rather than Netflix but definitely worth a watch.

Thought it started weak in terms of acting, but by the end I really liked it.
Set it up nicely for a new season with him being Bond like
