Re: What are you watching tonight?
I’m with Mrs Tango here! I know it was unfinished but I’m sure Jane Austen would have written a happy ending. There must be a second series I’m guessing, surely. I even took to Twitter over it and I barely ever go on there!TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 12:34 amHa, no, G.G.but my wife is complaining bitterly at no happy ending. Jane Austen never finished it so I didn't even read the part finished version. Much as I like all her other novels which I know inside out, I read one chapter and thought it rubbish. The T.V thing is script writer imagination only. .Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 11:19 pmTraumatised by the ending of Sanditon (which I had been loving) tonight. Tango, have you been watching it?

Arrival.
Oh boy did you all get *that* wrong with your awards and what not. What a load of toss.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
I'm with you. Very underwhelmed.
Some timeskip weirdness to make it arty. I'm usually all in favour (same director did Enemy, which was batsh*t and great) but there wasn't enough in this one and Jeremy Renner is a lot of nothing.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Yep.
*SPOILER ALERT*
Felt like they'd got a hell of a long way through the "Alien Memento" thing before someone asked why on earth the aliens were there in the first place. Then quick, shove in one line that they'll need help in 3000 years and hope for the best.
I liked Sicario, will check out enemy.

I did try to 'get into' Dublin Murders. Unfortunately I found it to be a pile of unfathomable old bollocks and gave up on it.

Sadly, I have to agree. I gave up too. Thought it would be good.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 4:40 pmI did try to 'get into' Dublin Murders. Unfortunately I found it to be a pile of unfathomable old bollocks and gave up on it.

The wall with Danny Dyer. Or the woah as he pronounces it.
I don't know if it's usually like that but it was the funniest half hour of telly I've seen in a while. One annoying contestant with a numb c*nt of a partner getting all the questions wrong accompanied by Danny being pwoppa nawty shouting "drop em" every few minutes. Reading the live twitter feed with it, only added to the hilarity.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Have you seen his UFO documentary, Harry? "I believe in UFOs: Danny Dyer".
He goes around the UK and America interviewing people who've spotted aliens or UFOs. I wholeheartedly urge you to seek it out and find out if you haven't. One of the finest hours of comedy in the last decade.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Amazing. I was set to go to bed at 11 when this came on, and for reasons I cannot explain I found myself being absolutely intrigued by it, and watched it through to its midnight conclusion.Harry Genshaw wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 12:18 amThe wall with Danny Dyer. Or the woah as he pronounces it.

A fecking annoying bint shouting at inanimate objects with her thick-as-feck fella answering the most basic of general knowledge incorrectly, capped off by him losing them £30K.
I knew Danny Dyer was born to do something away from football hooliganism and this is it.
HMHB had exactly these contestants in mind when they wrote this.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Currently watching our inimitable Historian Professor Lucy Worsley on "The six wives of Henry VIII". I love this woman's presence, knowledge, intelligence and sense of humour. Totally unafraid to take the pxss out of herself, she's always worth watching whether following Jane Austen, dancing with Len Goodman or exploring ancient Egypt. Go Lucy...

I've not seen that. Not on catch up or Netflix sadly. I'll have a look on you tube. After last night I'm starting to view him as a comedy geniusPrufrock wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 11:43 amHave you seen his UFO documentary, Harry? "I believe in UFOs: Danny Dyer".

The new Ken Loach film - Sorry we missed you. Typical laugh along Loach stuff! Take tissues and leave with a sense of anger and injustice.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
A re-watch of one of the best films of its kind made. I.T.V 4 (freeview 24) 9-0'clock. "Ronin"..Right up there with Gene Hackman's "The French Connection". De Niro at his best. If you haven't seen it, do. If you have, well I've seen it two or three times but I'll be giving it another go.

The Crown, episode 3 of the new series about the Aberfan disaster. So sad.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
I visited Abefan some years ago whilst working down there. I sat on the other side of the valley and looked across to where the school is/was under a slag heap and where the kids are buried in the cemetery under white gravestones. Some utter feck* decided that that would be a good place to store waste from the mine above the village. Not sure I've ever felt such anger and sorrow at the same time quite like it.Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 9:30 pmThe Crown, episode 3 of the new series about the Aberfan disaster. So sad.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
There's a brilliant and very moving article on the Beebs website at the moment about Aberfan and the aftermath.

The Irishman. Brilliant. 3 hours flies by. Scorsese at his finest.

Just started watching The Trial of Christine Keeler. The whole Profumo affair is something that's intrigued my for years.

Went to the cinema yesterday, for the first time in yonks. Watched 'The Lighthouse'. If you're looking for something to cheer you up, this isn't it.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Cannot stop watching Dave's performance from the Brits last night.
I'm not a huge rap fan and only previously knew him from that Thiago Silva song that went viral when they got the kid out of the crowd with the PSG shirt at Glastonbury.
Anyway, he performed Black at the Brits last night including a line calling the Prime Minister racist (and so headlines today). It's an incredibly powerful performance, moving, thought-provoking, and delivered perfectly. Sure one or two of you will become rap fans after listening
Also, Dave is an objectively funny name for a rapper.
