Just watched Flags of our Fathers.
Good film.
Debunking the usual USA folklore, legends and heroes
The last 30 seconds made it all sink in

8/10

There's a companion film to that "Letters from Iwo Jima" with events seen from the Japanese perspective.

I couldn't believe how many ships there were until I Googled it

Started watching "your honor" with the guy from breaking bad. It's quite good. Not as good as breaking bad.

[Taipan]

Enjoyed it.

Vicky McClure: My Grandad's War. Very good, moving, humbling and poignant.

I read the book, the Japanese general (Kurbayashi?) knew that all he was doing was just buying a few days worth of time and knew they would be overrun.
Brave man just on the wrong side of history.

Killing Eve.

We were glued to series 1. But half way through series 2 and we've gone off it a bit. The whole dynamic has changed.
Is it worth persevering?

It arguably gets weirder

My advice would be to bail on it now and remember the first series fondly.

Kalifornia

Can't believe this filmed slipped my net for so many years.

Juliette Lewis' role is very well played with an all round cast also pulling their weight.

It gets too caught up in it's own hype. Series one was good, if a little far-fetched. Series two was passable. I gave up with the third....

Mrs G had a friend recommend Firefly Lane. It's a chick-lit novel made into chick-schilck Telly.

I knew it was going to be God-awful, but happy to watch it with one eye closed. Happy to say that Mrs. G got a point halfway through one of the episodes whereby she proclaimed it be utter, unbelievable dross and turned it off.

Comic strip presents…The Yob on Channel 4 player.

Still love it after all these years, my fave of all of them.

[Mr. Dazzle]

A decade behind schedule I've started on Game of Thrones. Already seen a few bits and bobs not watched it properly.

Bit graphic, innit?

[ChrisW]

Hope you enjoy it - all 6 seasons are excellent.

I watched and thoroughly enjoyed 7 seasons but I've never watched the 8th and last .

I might just watch the whole lot again and the 8th, just to see who dies.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Ironically I've seen most of the 8th season, including the bits you can't see in Winterfell

[MingtheMerciless]

the Days, Netflix , drama based on Fukushima tsunami/nuclear disaster, only watched episode one (of 8) but as a Control Room operator its right up my street for how it can all go wrong when your sitting in the chair.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Did they see any graphite on the ground outside?

They can't have, because it's not there.

[Yambo]

I have a bag of graphite powder* in my fibreglassing store.

If I go to Japan I might just take a small bag of it and scatter it in odd places just to get them thinking . . .

*Yes, I know it's an odd thing to have a supply of but if you mix it with epoxy it makes a great coating for the bottom of a kayak especially if your local beach is stony.

Videos on YouTube of mixing it (from pencils) with superglue to make 'filler'.

Similar process / effect?
