I don't get it, so I must ask, what does this refer to? Is Bridge to Terabithia a tearful film?

Yep it's quite emotional.

From the first of April, if you are travelling elsewhere in the EU and log on to Netflix in their country. You will be greeted with the Irish library and not the local one.

I think that JustWatch post is a mistake peteeed, I’ve seen them do it a few times before backtracking and taking it down again.

Question for those that have watched Lacasa de Papel (Money Heist)- is it better to watch with the English dubbing or just watch with the subtitles?

+1 for The Seven Five which is a fascinating insight into dirty cops. Former cops and drug lords speak shockingly candidly about their crimes in detail.

Flint Town is also well worth a watch. Total access to the workings of their much troubled and poverty stricken city and police force.

I also tried to watch Inherent Vice and was bored out of my mind. A disastrously bad version of The Big Lebowski.

I dip in and out of here so no idea if it's been recommended before but gave Flint Town a whirl on the back of this and it's a great shout

About wild wild county. I had heard about Osho before, he came up on the Vincent Brown a few years back and I goggled him.

I'd agree with most on here that wild wild country was very good but I honestly think the rajneesh were wronged and am amazed that people find them so weird.

The show didn't get into the Osho philosophy and without knowing what he was saying I don't know how you can think the followers were so wack.

I'm mad about the whole 9 to 5 thing, were I get to save a bit and spend a bit but I can fully understand how someone wouldn't be, and if you're miserable in that environment.
Why not head for the hills and try something new?

The followers were upper middle class and above, with more money than sense. All education and no street sense. No value in money either.

Working classs people are more concerned with actually getting and keeping a 9-5 job rather than opting out if the rat race. They simply can’t afford to.

Working class people are also way more shrewd, for someone supposedly so spiritual, Osho was the most materialistic person I’ve ever seen. I’d laugh at the thought of giving money to pay for his rolls and his bling watches while I lived in a wooden shack. That’s just being a fool.

Osho was a very flawed selfish character and no God.

I also read up on them and it is a lot darker and a lot if them had STD’s.

It was a pure scam and I can’t believe anyone fell for it at all.

Fysh · 31-03-2018 09:33AM

I caught The Villainess last night and really enjoyed it. The opening and closing action scenes are phenomenal, but it's not an all-out action fest - it's a surprisingly character-focused drama for a film whose plot is about a shadowy assassin ring trying to eliminate a criminal organisatlon. It's well worth a watch, though there's a part of me wishing it had been a full on action fest just for how damn good that opening scene in particular was.

Even if you leave all that out of it there was still the the whole

poisoning a town, trying to undermine democratic elections, "policing" a town, attempted murder and an assassination attempt

to hold against them too.

The thing about Wild Wild Country is that the locals seemed to be against the Rajneeshes from the very start. Had a Billy Graham type figure settled into the mountains and had Johnny Cash performing concerts for him I bet the locals would have had no problem with it and thought it was great thing.

You can get into the whole taking over the town bit and poisioning people but that all happened later.
The hypocrisy made it hilarious to watch. One local said something along the lines of "It's a cult, with one leader in charge who they all listen to. He shouldn't have that kind of power. Then it shows clips of pastors in their pulpits telling their congregations what to do about the Rajneeshes. :rolleyes:
Not to mention at the end, a Christian youth camp is set up on site but that's perfectly acceptable...

That is exactly what I posted here while watching. For the first 2-3 episodes they hadn't actually done anything that warranted the reaction they got from the locals.

Earthhorse · 31-03-2018 10:57AM

Bit behind the times here but watched Guardians of the Galaxy last night.

By God that was fun.

Damien360 · 31-03-2018 11:04AM

Watched John Wick last night for the first time. Dismissed it before this because Keanu Reeves is in it but it's a great film and worth a watch.

cusser · 31-03-2018 11:08AM

I watched Night Crawler with Jake Gyllenhaal last night.
He is one of my fave actors.
His performance was outstanding as always.
Good movie although the rating by Rotten Tomatoes was probably a little high at 95%.

Also watched Birdshot.
It was well done, cinematically beautiful and poignant in places but too bleak. Could have done without it.

I do agree that if they had just been left alone by the (lets face it) absolute weirdos and nutters that lived in and around Antelope then things would probably have been fine.

neirbloom · 31-03-2018 12:10PM

Louis Theroux: Saville has been added for anyone who missed it when it first aired, one of his best Docs in a while although watching Saville stride around in this tightly withies round the BBC studios was one of the most off putting things I've seen on my TV in a long while.

Also about half way through Mad Men just finished the season 4 episode The Suitcase which was hands down the best pieces of mainstream TV I've seen. Great show.

I thought that it was quite poor and the way that Theroux tried to contrast with how hurt he felt after the truth came out with that which the victims felt was incredibly misguided. Alongside the Scientology film, it made me think less of Theroux and wonder if maybe his shtick is getting a little too familiar.

Look, in the coming weeks I plan on changing my kitchen, I'll be moving away from the old cheapo laminate to the new real deal granite worktop so I'm good for now.
But in time, if ever I get disillusioned with all this stuff I may have to look in the general direction of religion/spirituality. I don't know anything about it, but it would be wrong of me to come at it with some preconcieved notion/idea/belief such as the one you have here. Who knows, when and where you picked up your ideas around spirituality and materialism you could've been a young child and may have never even considered these ideas as an adult.

I felt the words "pure evil" were outta place and even more surprised to see the term used here on boards.

Just to take recent events on the news here in Ireland.

Even if the rugby players admitted guilt and were found to have raped the woman, I'd argue that Kieran Creaven is much more of a menace and more evil and as bad as he is, I'd then consider John Tighe to be even worse again, so if Sheela is "pure evil" how would you describe Tighe?

No doubt Sheela was a bad actor and should be locked up for a while, I think the term "pure evil" is a bit much and it's a bit odd, makes me think something else is at play.

My "notions" are not pre conceived from anywhere.

They come from life experiences. I don't appreciate your patronising comments as if as an adult I don't understand.

I understand perfectly.

What kind of idiot gives over their money to someone like Bagwan and Sheela.?

I've hardly worked for the last 30 years to hand over my life savings to buy some weirdo a fleet of rolls royces and a million dollar Rolex.

I think Bagwan was worse than Sheela, complete Sleeveen.

I actually found the documentary hilarious in parts, Bagwan legging it off on a Lear jet, with the loot and his Throne.

My uneducated working class background calls this a scam and Bagwan a scam artist. I'd actually use the term legend, as someone else said for those too idiotic not to see the truth.

This thread is not for rape cases and paedophile cases, so rather than take the thread off kilter, I'll stick to Netflix.

crustybla · 31-03-2018 06:07PM

Okaaayyy... So I finished Seven Seconds, really enjoyed it. I binge-watched The Defiant Ones last night, just couldn't turn it off. Found it fascinating. Gonna start Dark tonight.

Mr.Wemmick · 31-03-2018 07:21PM

May contain Spoilers.

Saw Wild Wild West, binge-watched it. Fascinating. Agree with all who call it out for being over long.

Don’t think they were evil as such, not anymore than every day capitalist scams we live with all the time.. like insurance companies that wriggle out of paying up to help decent folks get the urgent help they’re entitled to, taxes being used to support the rich, political elite while ordinary people have their social services cut and see bills rise with private companies with poor accountability or clarity. Elected councils and companies who allowed dangerous cladding and are responsible for the deaths of innocent folk. The privatize the profits and socialise the losses brigade and shenanigans we are all use to..

For a loony cult, their business models were gobsmackingly good - they made a fortune, those fleet of RRs were rented out, everything they had was turned into a profit. I thought the local and county officials and *good christian folk* as controlling, nutty and fearful just as much as the cult were. I had to laugh to hear an educated and intelligent lawyer, who should know better, talk about the planned murder as if it actually happened, lol.

One thing for sure, for a bunch of naked dancing spiritually free loving folks, they sure were happy. Good luck to them, I say, it’s a free world.

Ma Anand Sheela and Bhagwan had a very bizarre relationship, they both emotionally lost the plot in the end. Both were emotional nuts, hellbent on owning the power and thought they had it in the bag. Haha, like every other political bigwig power-head I have ever read about. Is it ever any other way?

Bunny Colvin · 31-03-2018 07:39PM

Watching Prisoners again. Superb film.

9/10

Mickeroo · 31-03-2018 09:02PM
