    Just watched The Fyre Festival, haven't laughed so hard in ages. The precious muppets on the bus as they realize they are staying in tents instead of villas... so glad EP was never organized by millenials :pac:

    I know that Billy type, once you've met one of them you never get duped so easily again. A lesson for all involved in that company. The only ones I really felt sorry for were the Jamaican catering lady and the lads who laboured in the sun for 26 days without pay.

    .

    Millennial covers a pretty big age range. I'm sure someone between age 23 - 38 has been involved in organising EP.

    Milada - a film about the anti Nazi resistance figure Milada Horakova who was persecuted by the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia and executed.

    The Wikipedia defenition of millennial says it starts from kids born in the early 80s. Really? Always thought it was kids born very late 90s and grew up after the millenium

    It's defined in some places as anyone who was under 18 on 1-JAN-2000, so you could be born in 1982 and be considered a millennial.

    +1 for FYRE, great story laid out very clearly. Funny and heartfelt too.

    Fyre was brilliant! Everyone who bought a ticket deserved it!! Crazy altogether!!

    The bit that got to me the most was the bit where the guy knifed tents around him so he wouldn’t have any neighbours. D*ck

    The Kominsky Method - just brilliant.

    Yep. Really easy to watch and very funny lines in it. Nice short episodes too. Get a bit fed up sometimes with everything being 57mins etc..
    Alan Arkin was brilliant. Ending was very odd though. Glad it's renewed.

    Plus all of Hollywood seems to walk in on it...

    Abducted in plain sight about a young girl who was kidnapped twice by a neighbour, a real eye opener on what length a paedophile will go to to get what they want
    The whole thing is completely insane tbh

    I agree - I found this really disturbing - the actions of her parents struck me as very odd.

    Title: Trouble with the curve

    Cast: Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams, Justin Timberlake, John Goodman

    Genre: Feel good sports movie

    Description: Aging and soon to be blind baseball scout Gus Loebel is being left behind by the new scouting methods of statistics and analytics. His lawyer daughter helps him out scouting a talented but asshole prospect for the baseball draft. Timberlake provided the love interest

    I liked this film and it's very much a Disney matinee affair with a feel good ending. Not a Disney film afaik though. The washed-up person in love with baseball has been done a few times before but still this was likeable though probably forgettable.

    Thumbs up from me

    Doesn't look like it.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Norwegian film The Wave is a good disaster flick about tsunami hitting a small holiday village on the banks of a large lake.

    It's on the US library.

    The Invisible Guest

    Excellent Spanish drama. A lawyer visits a rich businessman who's up for a seemingly obvious murder.
    Mostly told in flashbacks.
    Very neatly done.

    I'm new to Netflix, have only watched The Bird Box and You.Can anyone recommend something that might be similar to Big Little Lies or along that line?

    Late to this but watched Senna finally, great documentary. Tragic.

    Free Palestine 🇵🇸

    Broken is very good. Hope there will be a second season.

    Sean Bean is a great actor.

    You should watch Stranger Things if you haven't. And Dark.

    I watched it recently and thought it was a brilliant disaster.

    IO was pretty poor. After 45 minutes I skipped to the end to see what happens.
