    Watched the Fyre documentary and found it quite amusing but last night we checked out Chasing Coral and it's absolutely breathtaking. Beautiful footage and a real call-to-arms piece of activism: it's the kind of project I'd want to be involved in if the need to make a living didn't factor into my life.

    It won the US Documentary Audience Award at Sundance, the Outstanding Nature Documentary at the Emmys and has awards and nominations all over the circuit. Can't recommend it highly enough.

    Watched Us and Them. 2017

    Its a British film and I have to say its very good, I really enjoyed this and it actually reminded me a small bit of Pulp Fiction.

    It's only rated 5.2 on IMDB but the ratings are all either very low 1s and 2s or right up in the 10s so going by that, it's probably a bit like marmite.

    WOW, just watched the final episode of It’s Always Sunny, I’m actually speechless. Of all the shows, I never thought this would be one that would have me close to tears. Completely blew me away.

    On a slightly negative note, I don’t think the show can ever go back to what it was, but holy cr*p, what an ending.

    This, and Schitt's Creek got me through January!;)

    Do you still have to mess about with VPNs or post codes to get All 4 these days?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Finally got around to watching Bird Box after all the hype I found it totally bang average at best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,808 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    Birdbox was bird****.

    Don't think you ever had to do that for All4, or More 4, as it used to be known.

    Not sure if it's been mentioned but Jago: A Life Underwater is a really great watch. It's a docu about an 80 year old divers life.

    I've watched it twice.

    OK I'm about halfway through Roma now.

    (Not a spoiler really, there was a very small earthquake and no one was killed).

    Now call me Mr Philistine, I know it's beautifully photographed , but does anything really happen after this.

    Bear in mind it's a rugby weekend


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,808 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    I thought Roma was completely boring also. Ok maybe technical great film-making with all the long scenes and all. But nothing happened. Who wants to watch 2.5hrs of the day to day lives of a Mexican wealthy family and their maid, and the various life issues they have. We all have them in real life, except most of us are not as wealthy and privileged as the mom in this film. I want to see Mexican films like amorres perros or sicario, not this boring Roma crap. How can this film be a front runner for best picture Oscar??

    I don't know if this is the right thread for it but I recently subscribed to Now TV just to watch Big Little Lies and I have to say it's a **** service, continually buffering.

    Now my internet is not the best but I don't have any buffering on Netflix?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,858 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Crinklewood

    Better than RTE player then.....

    I've had nowtv for a few months and have never experienced buffering, not even with live sport so I'd say the issue is on your end.

    Maybe it is to do with the speed of my internet so but I've never had any issue with Netflix?

    I think Netflix optimise poor connections far better than most other streaming services.

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

    The app isn't very good, seems to hog the processor a lot, and is slow to play. OTOH the little cheapo nowTV box plays quite fine.

    Might be too late, but if you are still half way through it, STOP NOW.
