What dirt does Catherine Tate have on people that she's got a film in the cinema and a new series on Netflix 🤷‍♀️

That's already been around a while on Netflix on some platforms.

Medici netflix series. Drama- 3 seasons with 8 epsisodes in each. I would not recommend. I have found all seasons extremely slow and boring. Almost finished it and can't wait to be done if i am honest.

Critics weren't very kind which put me off, but did love the book so might give it a go.

Was hoping it would perform better, and inspire an adaptation of one of her other books, The Secret History.

Never heard of it until it just happened to come on a couple of weeks ago on RTE. I watched it and really enjoyed it too. It was only after watching it I decided to look it up and was surprised at the bad reviews and low ratings, it didn't deserve that IMO. Well worth a watch.

18 year-old daughter was watching Hard Cell today and heard a good few lol moments. She said the ending was excellent so might give it a try.

Tate was good in Doctor Who. Definitely played up with her noted abrasive characterisation style but also showed good acting chops for the dramatic parts.

I think you know what you're going to get with Tate, so if you've liked her before you'll probably like her again. Her comedy isn't for me, although her posh mum character was an exception.

Thought it was brutal.....awful waste of time....a bit of toilet humour har har.. the on going constant joke is tate's 2nd in command being referred to as " number 2"....... it's been panned by the critics..... like really slaughtered..... can't say I blame them.... it's dire

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 13-04-2022 12:02AM

Has Together, Together been added? I see it listed on Just Watch but it's not showing up on Netflix when I search it. Heard very good things about it last year.

It's available to me in the UK but something seems off with how it's been added.

I have it on my letterboxd watch list but is still down as unavailable
On just watch it's marked as not available on my services but then Netflix is listed as a viewing option.
I can find it and watch it on Netflix but it looks like it's missing all the usual supplementary content (a proper piece of cover art, a trailer etc.) which makes the listing look a little broken.

Thanks for the heads up though. Looking forward to watching it.

Edit: here's what it looks like

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 13-04-2022 09:04AM

If I click in through the JustWatch link it gives me that second picture. It plays but I can't find it any other way. Strange alright.

Edit: I clicked on add to my list and now it's showing up on the app in the list 🤷‍♀️

From what I can tell, the bad reviews were coming from those who read the book. I knew nothing about it before watching the film so had no preconceptions.

I read the book and absolutely hated it, to the point where I wouldn't even consider watching the film. But... if the bad reviews are coming from people who liked the book..... maybe the film is.... good? 🤔

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118919735#Comment_118919735

I did the exact same but I wasn't sure if by accessing it via the JustWatch link I somehow unlocked it or if it was already there to begin with.

Very odd, I might watch it ASAP in case it's removed.

S.M.B. · 13-04-2022 12:33PM

I had never heard of The Goldfinch, the book or the movie, until it recently came up on this thread and on further investigation it brought to light that it was directed by John Crowley who previously did both Intermission and Brooklyn. I feel like I have a massive blind spot when it comes to his filmography beyond those 'big 2'.

Whatever else can be thrown at it , theres no denying it looks fantastic on screen.

I don't think that's arriving until Tuesday 19th, I hope you are right though.

Nice, didn't realise that The King of Staten Island was coming to Netflix. Unlike The Bubble, it's the unnecessarily long, tonally confused, Judd Apatow directed, recent addition that might actually be worth watching.

This looks interesting, Jumanji mixed with Squid Game maybe.

I would normally be into these kinda movies and threw it on tonight. Made it to about half an hour and turned it off, was turning into torture porn. I may have been harsh and it possibly gets better but it just didnt grab me at all.
