What are you watching tonight?

I've only just realised that the current series is the 4th one. Worth going back to the beginning? :conf:

Definitely Bruce. I have series three on DVD you could (somehow) borrow.

Piss funny. I'm not sure about now, as they get older, but a lot of the earlier stuff the kids do is improv. Genius moments.
I've watched it since the start, still pretty good but that first series is the best. The kids, specially the young girl, get a bit too sure of themselves as the series' goes on. It's like the young girl has been told she's going to be such an amazing actress all the time, and she starts playing up to that.

Decent enough to watch while Im having my tea though!

MJF is the guest star, but most of the cracks are about his Parkinsons which isn't pleasant even for Curb.....

Then at the end there's a bizarre scene set in Paris that is just thrust in from nowhere and makes little sense.

Watched some of The Day Today after a while which now looks less like a comedy and more like some sort of prophetic future-telling media beast. Morris' finest.

Who does it? The track on the trailer sounds familiar.
composed by Cliff Martinez. sounds a lot like the Social Network OST to be fair.

Dont like Outnumbered either.

Saw a couple of episodes once thought it was great, seeked out a load more and realised each ep is the largely the same. Modern Family has had a similar effect. cant be arsed with either anymore.

The kids are too posh, and too 'aware' to be taken seriously. Posh wankers.

I watched Jan Troell's 2008 movie Everlasting Moments - a (subtitled) Swedish film that I really liked... As far removed from Hollywood orthodoxy as it could be, it tells a harrowing and uplifting tale of a working class woman in Malmo, in the early 1900s, who wins a camera in a lottery and finds that it gives her access to a creativity she never knew she had... Based on a true story, this is a lovely, gentle film, with scenes of shocking domestic abuse, really hard to take, and others of great tenderness...

I didn't know Jan Troell's work until this - have just reserved two other films on LF (neither as yet available, but i would really like to see other work by this director).

It's not.
And you would know this because you've watched all four seasons? :wink:

For me, it gets better with every season and episode. Season 1 is fairly slow, but it picks up considerably in season 2. But if you don't like season 1, you probably wouldn't enjoy it any further. It just keeps getting darker, deeper and with more twists.

The fourth season has nearly finished in the US, and the last few episodes have been spectacular. The last ten minutes of the latest episode, for instance, is some of the best TV I've ever seen.

Definitely source it!

Last night I tried Big Brother UK, S12 Episode 1.

By the fourth entrant I was like: This is AWFUL!

By the 11th I was all: This is awesome! I wish there were more people, wait there is? Awesome!

I'm 12 days behind so I will try to catch up.

What a downer Mark is! (I'm probably like him the most :o )
