Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

Hello Tomorrow (Apple+)

I have watched the first 3 episodes (of 10) and I genuinely do not know if I like it or not. I will give it until episode 5 and if it cannot grab me, I think I will move on.

Has anyone seen it? Does it get better?

Elvis https://media.giphy.com/media/l4FGuE8LtZg2wKmZi/giphy-downsized-large.gif The Janet and John of biographies. Buz Luhrmann style is perfect for something like Moulin Rouge where bohemian avant grade was very much the style for the Impressionists and I know Elvis broke new grounds, the film was...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

Traingle of Sadness I loved it. My spoiler review for IMDB Upon listening to Mark Kermode's review of this film, he simply did not get it. Kermode stuck to the easy interpretation of the film, that the rich suck. Although the film touches upon the irresponsible, anathema of the rich, it goes way de...

Small print. They can do mid term increases capped by a %.

But as you know no one reads contracts

The right says it's left wing and the left say it's right wing

It seems management is right wing and content creators are left

Re: SKY increased its charges

6 x 12 = £72 Opportunity cost. With an extra £100 here, a £100 there - it all ads up and before you know it, it will hit an extra grand, to get the same services as you did last year. The council tax will probably be 10% higher, garden refuse collection went up over 10%, Gas/leccy is now 2.5x higher...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

Andor (Disney+) The best Star Wars since The Mandorlian. The Star Wars bit plays second fiddle on what it takes to form a rebellion. It could be set in historical times. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Pacing and script treats us like adults. Andor is a character who is fleshed out. To me Star Wars is Andor...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

Blake's 7 Series 1-5 (Britbox) Watching this now as a middle aged man instead of a kid, its certainly rough around the edges. You can see the lack of budget on show. Your imagination has to fill in the gaps. On many times I felt like saying "bless 'em" as you could see they were trying their best w...

SKY increased its charges

My Sky monthly package will go up a tenner from £73 to £83 from April. Broadband being the highest jump by £4. I am now seriously thinking of cutting the cord. Doing some due diligence. The package includes - Entertainment TV - HD + UHD (but this feels like a waste of money as hardly any of their co...

Re: How do you solve a problem like Gary Lineker?

The BBC should make their rules (not guidelines) easy to follow in this day and age. If you work for the BBC as a presenter you should not engage in any political discorse on social media or risk being let go. Otherwise, just ignore the whole thing and do what WB suggested - distance themselves from...

How do you solve a problem like Gary Lineker?

Personally I find he has done no wrong. Every person is entitled to an opinion and he is not working for BBC News, so I am not sure impartiality matters that much. If he is free to talk about human rights in Qatar, why is he not free to talk about human rights here in the UK? The BBC and the DG have...

An FOV patch is coming - I will wait till it comes out. If it leaves GamePass before the patch....oh well.


Not buying it

Now watch hundreds of lorry drivers look straight ahead and look innocent when going through the green lane.

Hundreds of hours of negotiation to basically implement airport custom checks :roll:
