1917

Gripping and amazing cinematography.

All seasons streaming until the end of June on Now TV. Free 7 day trial, then £9 month.

 

I’m watching on Sky Q. Hopefully have a little longer than that on there unless it’s the same, otherwise will have to binge it pretty quickly!

Takeaway from Joiners Arms

Just about to watch The Wire for the first time.

Finished Normal People yesterday now onto Detectorists. Both decent enough but wouldn’t say either are outstanding.

This reviews sums it up pretty well.

That's 100% subjective.

I found it hilarious because it was so ridiculous.

A lot of Gervais's  humor is based on the absurd and seemingly inappropriate, like the Nazi's failing to find Anne Frank when sharks would have.

Do you like his stand up? Because it's full of stuff like that and some of it is far more edgy. 

In fact, his entire persona is like that and he often rants about people not being able to see the funny side of things, which is why I like him. 
 

 

 

Yes it is subjective, hence ‘imo’.

I don’t mind his stand up, went to watch his Humanity show in Nottingham and enjoyed it.

As for the sitcoms he does, I think the only things of real quality he’s done are The Office and Extras, which makes it quite clear Stephen Merchant played a hugely significant role.

I’m not offended at all by the therapist or anything like that, just not my humour.

The Gentlemen 8/10

McConaughey and Hunnam brilliant.

That's the entire point. 

Was painfully unfunny nonetheless imo.

The therapist is probably the most loathsome character in TV history.

Forrest Gump.

Watched it as a kid but couldn’t remember all of it, what a film though.

9/10

I must have drank me about 15 Dr. Peppers.

10/10 for presentation.

Never watched it and plan to keep it that way.

After Life’s crap, he misses Merchant.

Ain’t nothin’ but a gangsta party

Rewatching Freaks and Geeks on amazon prime. 

Really good show from 1999 starring James Franco, Seth Rogen and Jason Segel.

Only 18 episodes as it got cancelled early but well worth a watch.

Btw if anyone does happen to watch this via prime which I doubt, just thought I’d point out that some of the episodes are in the wrong order.

I'm almost ashamed to admit it's one of my favourite films.

I'm afraid your criticism could be levelled at pretty much any film. 

Shouldn’t be ashamed, it’s a great movie.

Chicken hot-pot. Photos didn’t really do it justice.
