Wham (Netflix)

What a superb documentary. Andrew and Michael actual audio on their early career edited with home footage and TV spots. I loved it.

8/10

Agreed! I watched it over a week ago and "Careless Whisper" is still stuck in my head every morning when I wake up

I'm definitely enjoying the D2 revival that we've been having of late. It will be no surprise to those that know my present life challenges that having good friends to game with and take my mind off things for a bit is a godsend. While I might not be too chatty, rest assured that I'm 100% focused an...

It looks like an amazing experience overall, I'd love a Skyrim-in-Space game, but I'm not fanboi'ing like a maniac. If it means I'll have a significantly less experience at release, then I'll just wait a couple years, once the mods are settled and the price has tanked. If they save me some money, th...

That's the thing, though, isn't it? They could do practically anything, any story line, any character arc, any solar system - absolutely anything at all. It's been the same tired shit since after the original trilogy, in my opinion. I've hated practically anything SW since. "Rogue One" was a stellar...

Yeah I'm holding off to start anew, no mods. I won't have a new PC to enjoy it on, unfortunately, that has to wait until next year at the earliest, boo

We just watched the first two seasons over the course of the last few nights. I've got to say that the jumping timelines in season one had me befuddled for a while, until I figured out what must be going on. Not a fan of having no indication; even a brief "Year 1232" would have been much less distra...

Meanwhile, S6 of Black Mirror is out now as well :D Only seen the first episode but thought it was fucking brilliant! I binged the new season over the course of two days. Definitely a different feel to these - some real horror stories happening. Best season yet, imo, though I wish they had more tha...

Re: the new Avatar movie, Raid, your review sounds exactly like what my impressions would be. I enjoyed the first one simply because of the visuals - stunningly done, so many art assets that it boggles the mind. The first story was a mishmash of sci-fi tropes and storylines from books I'd read as a ...

So I finished Arcane . I think this has been my biggest TV surprise of the year, at least partially because I'd had no intention of watching a TV series based on a game I've never played from a genre I don't care for. It's excellent, and not just because it looks phenomenally good (there's not a si...

Soli, have you ever seen Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House? One of my favourite films, let alone Grant films. The Money Pit was based on it (although not as good). No, I haven't seen a single frame of that one, never heard of it. I'll root around for it! There's Myrna Loy, as well, which brings m...

To Catch a Thief is one of my all time favourites Soli - did you guess who was the Cat? Yeah, that's what I meant to say, probably didn't make myself very clear - I'm going to blame pain meds on my poor writing (and behaviors! :shock: ) of late. Charade Alrighty, so Cary Grant is my favorite actor,...

Yet another reason I'm vegetarian for 31 years and counting. Oh, you should see the outdoor cows - as far as the eye can see, cows cows cows. And the stench is overwhelming. I learned long ago, when driving back and forth across this country, to have an N-95 mask handy for those parts of Texas and C...

To Catch a Thief I’ve found myself with some extra time of late, so I’ve been catching up on movies that I’ve been meaning to watch but never seemed to be able to get around to them. This particular old movie has my favorite actor – miles ahead of my second favorite – Cary Grant. His comic timing w...

I confess I have a soft spot for it but Ive not seen it in 20 years

Re: Meet Joe Black, the only thing I remember with any clarity is how freakin' gorgeous Claire Forlani was. All those lingering close-ups! Goodness.

Thanks so much, everyone! This has relieved a lot of stress from my life - I've got enough to keep me going for five or six months, it's amazing. And thank you for the kind words, I have lots of love for everyone here at GA, it's like a safe little corner of the internet, with great people to hang o...
