RE: [VIDEO] Inside No 9 (Psychoville writers' new show)

Thought it was really good.
As mentioned in it, I still say 12 Days of Christine is up there with the best half hour of TV written.

RE: [VIDEO] Carry On

Thought it was really, really bad. 🤣
Yeah, Bateman wasn't so bad but the rest sooooo forgettable, how dare it be mentioned in the same breath as Die Hard! 😉

RE: [VIDEO] Phil Collins: Drummer

Oh man, emotional watch that.
Considering it's actually Phil Collins in it, I heard they didn't even get the rights to actual Genesis music which is crazy (and was missed for me) - but loved they spent a good amount of time on the real early Genesis sound, drumming and fills etc.
I adored Mike Portnoy's comment that he was right up there with the great Prog drummers of the time, even mentioning him in the same breath as the late and great(est..) Neil (Peart).
I saw him many times live and a few years back with Nic drumming too, blessed.
Phil Collins, you talented bastard.

RE: [VIDEO] Severance

Same, can't wait and will jump straight to the top my growing 'TV Series to watch next.' pile when it's out.

RE: New phone and E sim

I'm with O2 so get good Roaming but needed to use an e-sim last year and agree, a really easy and simple process that was great value for money compared to what many providers want.

RE: LG OLED65C16LA - Repair or not...

That's soooo unlucky :(
The C1, as I'm sure you know, is a fantastic TV!
Its replacement is the C4 - the G4, linked above, is the slim, designed to be wall mounted model.  I know your screen is only a few mm thick, but has a thicker part at the bottom (I have the CX (previous year's model) which is pretty much the same).
Personally, I'd be loath to pay £509 for a fix and would look maybe for a used one.  I've seen used 65 C1's go for not far off that money - sometimes with the remainder of warranty.  Or would the repair give another warranty on the TV?
A little googling suggests it's a power supply unit issue and easily fixed.

RE: [VIDEO] Inside No 9 (Psychoville writers' new show)

The Party's Over, a behind the scenes documentary filmed during the last season is on at Christmas.
Looking forward to that!

RE: [VIDEO] Arsenal 24/25 season

They're probably all concentrating on protecting their keeper from snide tactics and pinching.

RE: Denying pensioners winter fuel allowance

Don't people have such short memories.....
Personally, I'd have been fine with a tax increase or reversal of the failed NI reduction bribes but they were unable to do that due to the manifesto promises. Although enough previous governments treated those more like loose, soon to be broken guidelines than promises.

RE: [VIDEO] Only Murders in the Building

Right, confusion time 😂
I wrote the above thinking the previous posts were about S4 and I'd not seen it yet and that I though S3 was good.  Just saw they were actually about S3, that, as I just said, I thought was OK/good.
Watched S4 this week and (thinking previous posts were about it..) and I thought it was good too - but maybe not quite as good as others..  A couple of filler episodes that I don't think there usually are but I still think it's great.
Martin Short is just brilliant in it, what lines he has!
Definitely sticking with it.

RE: [VIDEO] Post Trump fallout

A relief emoji could be a happy ending emoji too...  not sure this will be a happy ending despite this though..

RE: Post Trump fallout

Or because he wanted to give them the ability to defend themselves from Russia's focus on targeting areas populated with innocent civilians?
Or politics.

RE: [VIDEO] Only Murders in the Building

I was going to say I thought it was OK - then realised it was Season 3 I recently watched 🤣

RE: [VIDEO] Yellowstone

Can't believe there's only two posts in this thread (unless there's another one for it 😂).
I know people used to ask should I watch Better Call Saul or Breaking Bad first (BB made first but set after BCS).....
I understand there's Yellowstone, 1883 and 1923, all set in the same 'universe'.
1883 and 1923, as I understand it, are both set before Yellowstone but made after it?
My inclination is to watch Yellowstone (5 seasons!?!) - and then 1883 and then 1923....
I have about 2 or 3 other series in the queue first but does the above make sense or should I do it differently??....

RE: [VIDEO] Megalopolis

You did well.
The end for Coppola one would imagine.

RE: [VIDEO] Post Trump fallout

Yeah, imagine a touch over half a country voting for something much of the rest of the world think is crazy......

It's OK when you watch on YouTube yes?
Will try another device but on this site, YouTube site and App I have a sync issue.
OK for others yes?

RE: Electric State (Millie Bobby Bon Jovi/Chris Pratt

I think she has adopted the (original) Bongiovi name too.

RE: Electric State (Millie Bobby Bon Jovi/Chris Pratt

Like the look of that.  Still says 'Brown' in the cast list.
Shame it looks like the Gallagher w***ers will make money from it though. 😒

RE: [VIDEO] Joker: Folie à Deux

Box Office certainly seems to to hate it, reviews are very mixed.
Seems to have future cult classic written all over it?
First was soooooooo good 😔

RE: [VIDEO] The Substance

Won't forget it in a hurry here either 🤣🤣
I had no issue with the horror, to be honest I laughed heartily for about the last 10-15 minutes, especially as no-one seemed to notice her/it.
I think I was kind of expecting an "Ahaaa" moment/twist at the end.
