    It was on Christmas Eve on ITV2

    Netflix isn't doing it for me on films at the moment.

    Far too many of the good old films are on at the same time as broadcast.

    Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) ITV4 last night Wed 30 Dec 11:45pm-12:50am

    Spotted that alright but can’t record ITV2 and wasn’t able to watch it at that time

    I don't really rate programmes based on "wokeness"...but it was crap.

    I wouldn't describe Brooker as "woke" he takes the hand out of everyone imo

    Wait, the US lose The Office US today and we get it? Interesting.

    Dredd to start the new year. What a fantastic film, and if you haven't seen it yet you're missing out.

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

    Difficult to compare the 2. The US version ran for 9 seasons. The first season is very similar to the UK version, and is terrible for it, but then it turns into its own thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,397 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    The UK and US version of 'The Office' have identical names, and that's where the similarity ends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,719 ✭✭✭✭Sad Professor


    Death to 2020 - I lasted 40 minutes. Terrible. Like a bad SNL sketch.

    Perfect timing as I was trying to find the dvd the other day to no success.

    mmmm he takes his helmet off in the first 10 mins from what i can remember undoing everything the comics stood for `


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Certainly the production design was more in keeping with the comic (than the Karl Urban version),but otherwise that Stallone vehicle was just .. well. Just bad. If a fascinating time capsule of 90s, star driven blockbusters that existed simply for Arnie/Willis/Stallone to action around in.

    Karl Urban version is a tight action film while Stallones version falls into you may also like Flash Gordon(1981) territory

    I think part of the reason Dredd didn't do too well in the cinemas was due to places only offering the 3d version. I wasn't a fan of 3d but since was the only way to see it I went and the SloMo parts worked really well.
    It did get compared to The Raid a lot and whether accurate or not there are much worse films to be compared to.
    Must rewatch Dredd now. Have it on BluRay but haven't watched it.

    The Raid you say? The very first Dredd story is Dredd going into a tower block alone to take on a gang...

    Don't rate either film highly but at least the Stallone version captured Dredds larger than life aesthetic unlike the Urban one which tried the usual bollox of making a comic book character look grtty and realistic, with the end result of Dredd looking like a motorbike courier in a judges helmet

    Wanted is another top class Australian series.

    Real Thelma and Louise vibe off of it.

    7.7 IMDB rating.

    I agree completely, but not necessarily as a negative


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,388 ✭✭✭santana75


    Just finished "The Queens Gambit" and thought it was absolutely brilliant. Madmen is my favourite show and this was very madmen-esque in tone. Didnt expect to like it as much as I did, I play a little chess but never would've figured a show about the game would be even remotely interesting. Fair play to those who created this, they've managed to produce something special.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,350 ✭✭✭✭AndyBoBandy


    We had a flick around Netflix looking for something to watch that didn’t take too much to watch, and stumbled across Hard Kill, and pretty much knew it was going to be awful almost as soon as it started, but Jesus it’s bad!!!! And being only 40 minutes in, it’s only getting worse, but we’ll soldier know for the craic (and as a reminder of how bad movies can be made!!).

    We were going to watch Mosul but felt it’d be too serious of a watch... would anyone recommend it as it looks quite decent.

    Also, I loved Dredd (Urban), and will give it another watch again very soon.

    Wow Netflix.. you managed to pick 3 of the most unfunny and unlikable hosts possible. You've really outdone yourself this time!
