That definitely still holds up

There is a great sketch with her a Julie Walters buying food in a cafe as well.

I saw one recently with a sketch about the WI doing a bring and buy sale but it was in the style of an over the top American drama series. Very funny.

Was kind of sad though because there was a bit elsewhere in the episode with Caroline Ahearne in it.

Watched a few random movies over the last few weeks, knew absolutely nothing about them beforehand but ended up enjoying them all, Chef, Small Apartments, Waffle Street and While We're Young. I would recommend Into The Wild and Top Five as well but they seem to have removed from Netflix.

Thanks for the heads up about Unforgotten. Brilliant series 8/10

I watched "The Hitman's Bodyguard" over the last few nights.

What a waste of Samuel L Jackson.

It seemed to rely on the F word for all it's laughs...that and the sight of Selma Hayek cursing. Ooooh controversial.
I just could not get into it at all.
Anyone else watched it?

Yeah I mentioned it on previous page. Thought it was terrible!

How can a movie with Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L Jackson and Gary Oldman be so goddamn poor?

Watched the French series Mantis. Its watchable, but it's VERY clunky in places, story and script wise (though the latter could be down to translation). Shame really because I think there was a much better idea there, than what actually ended up appearing on screen.

I watched it a while back. I really enjoyed it for the most part but thought it lost the run of itself in the last couple of episodes and just got a bit too daft. The woman who played the titular character was great in it though.

She was very good, incidentally she doesn't look her age at all.

I thought Chef was great, I love that in the casting Favreau picks significant others that are way out of his league!

The woman who plays the lead - Nicola Walker - somehow I find her very attractive, she looks very humane, and her eyes are like the sea. Unforgotten is great, people have to be a bit patient though, because it is atmospheric and at times is all about the subtlety. Nicola also acts in ''River'' with Stellan Skarsgard (yum) which is also on Netflix. I enjoyed both these series very much.

She also appeared in an episode of Luther (Just started rewatching it last night). Great series. Was delighted to see it on Netflix

Martin Scorsese to Direct 'SCTV' Reunion Documentary for Netflix

Jimmy Kimmel will host an 'SCTV' cast reunion in May in Toronto, footage from which will anchor the doc.
Netflix has ordered an untitled SCTV reunion special, with Martin Scorsese to direct.

Scorsese will reunite former SCTV co-stars Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short and Dave Thomas in front of a live audience for An Afternoon With SCTV on May 13 in Toronto, to be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.

The reunion will anchor the documentary about the cult TV series featuring members of Canada’s Second City comedy troupe, to be shot over three days next month in Toronto, with Andrew Alexander, John Brunton and Lindsay Cox producing.

Scorsese, with 12 Oscar nominations and a directing win for The Departed (2006), held long conversations with SCTV alums about their character-driven TV satire series that ran from 1976 to 1984 as he developed his documentary about the famed comedy troupe, most of whom were Canadian artists.

These included Levy as smarmy comic Bobby Bittman and broadcaster Earl Camembert, the late John Candy as smooth-talking Johnny LaRue, the late Harold Ramis as game show host Moe Green, Martin as leopard-clad programming boss Edith Prickley, O'Hara as platinum blond singer Lola Heatherton, Dave Thomas as drama critic Bill Needles, Rick Moranis as one of the 5 Neat Guys and Joe Flaherty as station manager Guy Cabellero.

Most of the original SCTV cast moved from the Canadian touchstone comedy to successful careers in Hollywood movies and TV shows, including Short, who brought many of his SCTV characters to his eventual star turn on Saturday Night Live.

SCTV premiered in 1976, a year after Saturday Night Live debuted stateside, as a satire of TV programming conveyed as a broadcast day from a low-budget TV station in the fictional town of Melonville, with backstage machinations included.

It's brilliant. I have to get back to the second half of the season asap. It sure gives a new meaning for sleeves.

Really enjoyed it except for the lead actor. At times it felt like watching Dolph Lundgren back in the day. I kept hoping theyd throw him back in to his original sleeve as that fellah seemed like he could act and had a decent presence. Still worth watching but better casting would have taken it up a notch IMO

Finally got around to watching Weiner last night. It's a fantastic documentary following Anthony Weiner's disastrous 2013 campaign for Mayor of New York as he tries to recover from one sexting scandal before being plunged into another one.

It's a truly captivating watch even if at times it feels a little voyeuristic, especially the scenes in his home where we see his personal relationships crumble.

You want to reach in and grab him and shout 'What the **** is wrong with you!' as he makes every situation ten times worse for himself. It's like his only instinct is for self destruction and it's all he deserves.

From reading up about him, the guy is a complete douchebag that learnt nothing from his experiences and he's currently in jail for sexting a minor. An absolute creep.

Antonio Conte says there is no fresh news regarding player availability for tomorrow's game.

the most important game for us right now is tomorrow's because we want to improve our position.

Southampton have great quality in their squad and it's a surprise to see them where they are in the table

Danny Drinkwater, Conte says he's having an unlucky season due to injuries, but he is a good midfielder who he fully trusts.

Andreas Christensen is still a young player who is playing at this level for the first time, so it's understandable that he could be tired.

This isn't the first time to do this, peteeeed…

Was really looking forward to watching that.

The lead actor would have been a pretty bad video game actor.

Not much real original product from Netflix this year - cheap stand ups and interviews (and altered carbon) aside.

Lost in Space today. Everything Sucks, Seven Seconds, On My Block… new seasons of the likes of Unfortunate Events, Jessica Jones, Love… Movies like Annihilation, 6 Balloons… Documentary series like Wild, Wild Country and Dirty Money… I think there's been a fairly decent trickle of original content coming through every week.

Right. I forgot about everything sucks which was better than it needed to be. Love was ok.

I’ll look up the rest. Thanks.

Might want to spoiler tags some of that post. Half of the fun in that doc is the spiralling nature of his behaviour

I tried to be as non-spoilery as I could be by not mentioning anything specific.

Spoiler time:

The part with him doing the split screen interview was on a whole other level of cringe - when he kept watching it back to the absolute disgust of his wife was bizarre. He genuinely didn't seem to care whether the attention he got was good or bad.

Really? Well, then it got to share the same fate as the vastly superior programme it was copying - Freaks and Geeks.

I still enjoyed it for what it was and wouldn't have minded another season of it.

Pissed about Dirk Gently getting cancelled though… I was really enjoying that.

I was annoyed about this. It took a few episodes to settle and find it's focus but I loved it by the end. I was looking forward to seeing what they did in S2. That said, if you stop it before the last scene it's a pretty nice little mini series.

I thought it was really sweet....very disappointing
