Yeah midsommar was a weird film and very slow paced

rekluse · 24-07-2021 7:29pm

Watched 'wild bill' the other day. A decent uk drama about a guy who gets out of jail to discover his 2 sons have been abandoned by their mother. A solid 7 /10 .

Blood Red Sky is a nice vampire B movie a fun two hours mindless entertainment.

More like Z movie schlock but enjoyable so far. I'd guess it would be even better if you were drunk. I'm not in a demanding mood tonight so I'm happy enough with it.

I watched "The Death of Stalin" last night. There were a few laughs in it. I am also halfway through "heist" and " How to become a Tyrant". Both of these are very enjoyable so far for me.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 24-07-2021 11:45pm

I started watching Why Are You Like This, an Australian comedy about 3 best friends in their early 20s in Melbourne. It really skewers that age group in a way I haven't seen before, it plays up the whole internet culture, activism as a personality, cancel culture kind of thing, but in a good way.

Nigzcurran · 24-07-2021 11:58pm

Chernobyl the movie, rather good so far

25-07-2021 12:11am

Just finished Blood Red Sky, very enjoyable for what it is. Worth a look. I watched Kingdom Ashin of the North last night, very good and I can't wait for series 3 of that show.

florryfox · 25-07-2021 12:13am

Blood red sky pleasantly surprised me, enjoyed it.

Mickeroo · 25-07-2021 12:49am

Another thumbs up for blood red sky here. Not mind blowing or anything but a solid genre film with a fun premise.

smillingsam · 25-07-2021 10:48am

Watched once upon a time in Hollywood last night, I enjoyed it, its very Tarantino

S.M.B. · 25-07-2021 12:47pm

I have not watched a Tarantino movie in 14 years. I really should go back and catch up on what I've missed.

Hercule Poirot · 26-07-2021 2:20pm

I'd highly recommend Man Like Mobeen.

Very funny in places but also gets a bit heavy at times - but ultimately a very good program.

McDermotX · 27-07-2021 12:07am

Echo what some are saying About Blood Red Sky......decent enough twist on a vampire flick that does entertain in a brainless way, but the length takes away from it. It desperately needed 20mins shaved off it.

peteeeed · 27-07-2021 8:09am

The Serpent. An intriguing story, very well told over 8 episodes. I found it a little difficult to follow with all the 4 years ago, 2 years later, 6 months ago etc in the early episodes but other than that, a great watch to be fair, well worth sticking with.

Wossack · 27-07-2021 5:21pm

Just finished it there last night. Tough going at times (in a good way) - very sad tale

Did the airport flip display thing (the ‘2 months later’ in the corner) get on anyone else’s tits after like the first episode, or just me?

job seeker · 27-07-2021 7:43pm

I see that season 3 of "How to sell drugs online (fast)" has been added to Netflix! Season 1 and 2 were brilliant. I really enjoyed them, I can't wait to watch season 3.

Anyone else have any issues with Netflix. Woke up yesterday morning to see emails that someone in New Jersey had accessed my account. Changed my email. Netflix were beyond incompetent. Couldn’t give me access back and simply offered to delete my profile and told me to start again. Also refused to talk to me as I couldn’t tell them my password.

That sounds dodgy. Organisations like that should never ask for your password. Are you sure it was an actual notification from Netflix and not a spoof?

Happened to me a few years ago. Spoke to a Netflix rep. Basically reset my account and lost all viewing history. Was a pain in the.....

Sounds like a less procedural, soap-opera version of CW's iZombie; by the looks of this trailer the humour will very Scandana...dry.
