    Watched Tara vs Bilal last night with my partner, really enjoyed it !! It’s a modern Indian romcom set in London (not your stereotypical over the top bollywood film if that’s what you’re already thinking lol). 

    Very sweet heartwarming emotional film. Cast was superb I have to say. Although the storyline was fairly predictable, the story was told in a way that was fresh and really engaging, and the romance felt natural. Honestly recommend

    Finally got to watching the John mcafee documentary Run with the Devil. Captivating. The guy was insane and really don’t know what was real and what was stage. The fact it was over a long period makes it actually worthwhile.

    I see 1899 is the latest cancellation at Netflix.



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


    Ah FFS. Haven't even finished the first season.



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 24,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭TICKLE_ME_ELMO


    I'd be delighted at this point if Amazon did end up "stealing" Wednesday off them, and they're left with nothing but dating shows



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


    I guess 1899 needed more viral dance videos to obscure pop songs to have avoided cancellation?

    They vomit money at hacks like the Russo's but god forbid they give a slow burn mystery thriller a chance.

    Cancelling Warrior Nun was the last straw for me, I cancelled my subscription after that. I wish more people would start speaking with their money at this point. Maybe they'd start making some better decisions.

    Bah, 1899 being cancelled feels like a stupid move alright. I'm on the lowest ad-free tier (Netflix having an ad-free tier that's not at 1080p is second only to NowTV's streaming platform only providing 1080p if you use one of their stupid set-top boxes in terms of Stoopid-With-Two-Os Streaming Platform Decisions, IMO) and at the moment I am just about seeing enough stuff turning up that retaining it is worth my while (e.g. Glass Onion and Alice In Borderland S2 last month, the Junji Ito anime anthology this month), but it's getting perilously close to being punted down to "I'll pay for a month when I want to catch specific series or exclusive films".

    I've gone all into the history stuff, docu-dramas etc. Knives Out did nothing for me so Glass Onion isn't high on the list, recently watching new series of Rise of empires: Ottomans

    No great loss, watched last episode last night, a pile of c**p.

    Glass Onion. Agatha Christie on acid. Brilliant! 😋



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


    It was a load of boll1x. Big budget style over substance. All of the characters unlikeable. The 1st film Knives Out was brilliant, Armas, Craig, the old fella, Jamie Lee Curtis and Captain America all great in that film.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,756 ✭✭✭jj880


    Eat sh!t, eat sh!t, definitely eat sh!t 😂

    Michael Shannon was top drawer also.

    2nd movie was like a bad spin off of the 1st. Shame really.

    On the second season of The Missing. It's really holding my interest, absolutely great. Just a bit annoyed that all the French and German bits have no subtitles so you get lost in parts of it. Why is this?

    Next up is the spin off Baptiste but if you don't understand French you're once again lost without the subtitles.

    I assume you've tried turning on subtitles 😅 does it do that annoying thing of just saying "speaking french"

    I enjoyed both but Glass Onion more. Thought it was plenty substantial and that both films featured a rogue's gallery of scoundrels who were hardly likable but highly watchable. Thought the cast were strong in both.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,514 ✭✭✭✭Hurrache


    Had Wrath of Man on my Prime watch list for a while, Statham is the main character but a couple of other decent actors are there too and didn't realise it was a Richie movie until the opening credits.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,514 ✭✭✭✭Hurrache


    It's a pretty big 'bug' with Netflix, I was watching The Courier and the same issue there, no subtitles for the Russian dialogue. Wasn't sure if it was intentional but a google proved that Netflix **** this up repeatedly.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,808 ✭✭✭apache


    Yeah on to Baptiste now and it's working fine.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,057 ✭✭✭Caquas


    Knives Out was far better.

    The cast of characters worked together brilliantly as a dysfunctional family whereas Glass Onion has a mish-mash of irredeemably awful, OTT caricatures, thrown together as drinking buddies in NY years earlier when one of them had a stroke of genius (which is never explained but brings untold riches) .

    Both movies had a serious plotting issue - in both cases, the murder is not planned but is a response to a sudden crisis. Yet only the most brilliant detective can unravel this spur of the moment murder plot. The Glass Onion is even less credible because of the twin sister switcheroo. Identical twins can be mixed up at first sight but how long could the subterfuge last with her best buddies, whose entire fortune rests on lies they told against her in court?

    I don’t like nitpicking the plot of a fun movie but Glass Onion jumped the shark.

    @Caquas You should spoiler your comment for people who haven't seen the movie yet.
