    Watched old guard for the craic last night. Ah jaysus....

    What starts as a good premise for an "underworld" type movie (immortals living amongst us) it just turns to complete farce with pretty suspect acting.

    The more the 2 long hours play out, the more it morphs into a pilot... With the ending securing that aspect.

    They only good thing about the movie is that I could watch Charlie theron mix mortar and I'd still be enthralled

    So it is. I was reading something about it earlier in the week and they definitely said Netflix but obviously had it wrong.

    I can’t wait to watch the challenger documentary(which I hadn’t realised was four parts and not one) later on. I mean I’ve read the report of the accident over the years and know most of the stories behind this awful tragedy and I saw Dick Scobbies wife in the trailer and hopefully they have more than just Alan McDonald from Morton Thiokol(he’s a legend in his own right but hopefully we get more) and their take on that part of it. I’ll stop because I could keep rambling on about it.

    Looking forward to this myself. I studied Mechanical Engineering in College and the challenger disaster was a case study that came up time and time again across multiple subjects (thermodynamics, Materials science, Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics). I was a bit of science nerd so couldn't believe it when I heard Feynman was involved in the investigation. Amazing how such a small component failure led to such a disaster.

    Anyone watched Cobra Kai yet ?
    It’s supposed to be very good
    I’m wondering if it’s suitable for a 10 year old though ?
    We watched this first two karate kids with him over last month

    If I remember correctly from other documentaries and stuff I’ve read the committee just knew his name and didn’t know his personality and got caught by the O ring in the ice experiment he did.

    If you’ve been in the space forum of this site you’ll know I’m a huge fan of space and manned space flight both American and soviet/Russian and both the challenger and Columbia shuttle disasters took the shine off nasa for me. The shuttle was sold as doing stuff in a time frame it couldn’t achieve in term of number of launches per year. Challenger should never have happened if NASA hadn’t of been so ****ing arrogant because they only ever had one disaster on the pad(Apollo 1) and I think some nasa management got moved after Columbia thankfully. Again I’m rambling so I’ll stop.

    Edit: btw no I’ve not watched the documentary yet but I plan to do it this weekend.

    season 1 is borderline ok (gains a few nostalgia points), season 2 is atrocious. Perfectly fine for a 10 year old

    Stop everything and watch Criminal.

    Mentioned before was Jon Snow in the second episode of the new series, a very morally ambiguous story that will get you thinking.
    Also Sophie Okinedo is excellent in the first episode.

    Think of the best bits of Line Of Duty, the interviews, and that's what Criminal is.
    You are dropped into a crime with no backstory, no explanation, and figure out what's going on.

    Watched the first episode of the challenger disaster documentary and it’s very well done. The two worst phrases from the shuttle programme were “go at throttle up” for challenger and “UHF comm check” for Columbia. Hopefully the other three episodes are as good as the first one.

    The constant replaying of segments, due to airing on US tv I assume, annoys me in that show. Otherwise well worth a watch.

    Could'nt agree more.The second season was excellent.

    Kit Harrington GOT typecasting was well and truly a thing of the past.

    You watched Borgen? I'm enjoying season 1 a lot more than I thought I would as I don't usually like political drama all that much (found house of cards a slog even at its best) but have found it really enjoyable. Its more episodic than I expected too, there's over arching stories but it's mostly the characters dealing with the issue of the week.

    I've also started warching S1 of Borgen and heavily recommend it.


    And I just finished Breaking Bad, having not watched it before. For the 2 people who haven't watched it, it deserves every bit of praise it received and it's never too late to start. It really is one of, if not THE, best TV programmes ever.

    I've tried BB twice but didn't even make it to the end of the pilot.

    Borgen ? I’m watching the challenger documentary but might give this a look.

    The Devil All The Time is one of the upper-tier Netflix films; a great cast whos deliver solid performances, a strong narrative with multiple threads weaving together, with a Coens-esque feel to it.

    Finished the challenger documentary and Larry Mulloy is still as dislikable as any other time I’ve read or seen anything by him. He’d make the same decision today that he made in late January 1986 that led to the deaths of seven astronauts. Is it any wonder Columbia happened when this was the mentality in NASA. Larry mulloy didn’t lick that attitude off the VAB ffs.

    I have just finished series one of criminal.
    It's really excellent imo.

    Are the foreign language episodes worth a watch or should I just go to second series of UK series?

    I enjoyed that. As for my earlier comment about it likely not having deaths and all, having subtitles on and seeing a dinosaur approaching a man followed by the subs showing "Crunching sound" proves that wrong.

    Another vote here for The Devil All The Time, although I can get why others didn't like it.

    It's a slow burner, bit like a season of Ozark, it builds the story slowly and ends with a finale. I thought Pattinson in particular was excellent in it.
