The Lord of the Rings (Extended Editions) - Watched the whole lot over 2 days this weekend. Still the most perfect trilogy ever put to film. It still looks amazing, bar a couple of dodgy composite effects. And all 3 probably cost less than one season of that Rings of Power crap.

Joan...a six parter on itv. Best thing I've seen for a while. True story.

Got fed up with Hollywood crap so have gone back to foreign films. Daniel Autiel is on form in this and it's a great story ina french film kind of way...

Solar System , Brian Cox and the Beeb doing very well.

I thought he was making it all up.

I did have to point out to Mrs M that on 07/12/2041 the Geeks nuke the fleet base on Phobos into oblivion along with blowing the dome on Olympus Mons before moving onto Earth and it was only Jupe’s bad feeling that made him hide the V.C’s ship on the Dime (Diemos) that saved them.

Nukes? Pah. Wait 'til the Architects turn up.

Stumbled across this one a couple of weeks ago on a long plane journey and thought, great, this looks right up my street, but if I'd watched the trailer first, it would have told me all I needed to know really and I could have watched something decent instead

It is without doubt the most corny, naff, formulaic pile of stinking fromage I've seen in many years, so much so that it took me three sittings to finish it , even though it's only 90 mins or so

Having said that, it's so bad it's almost worth a watch for the cringes- I challenge you all to find a cheesier film!

Joan...a six parter on itv. Best thing I've seen for a while. True story.

I watched the first episode last night. I doubt I'll watch the others.

I've noticed a bit of a lazy trend among screen writers, in that series are set 20 or 30 years back then but overlaid with period music, almost as if the viewer will keep saying, 'Ooooh. Remember this one?' or 'Haven't heard that tune for years' and somehow forget they are watching a second rate production with poor acting and cliched plots.

Your standard's are far too high for mainstream tv. Keep watching. you may of missed a bit of nakedness.

[Mr. Dazzle]

You may of missed a bit of nakedness.

You realise you have access to the Internet, yeah?

[asmethurst99]

I watched Civil War on the plane - really liked it- troubling-

You realise you have access to the Internet, yeah?

But its different somehow.

Bit late to the party, but watched Everything, Everywhere, All At Once the other night.

An intriguing film, funny in parts, downright weird in others, but a touch of brilliance throughout.

(Never seen a policeman being beaten up with two large, rubber dildos in screen before....)

Looking forward to watching this as some of it was filmed in parts of Kent close to me.

[Taipan]

Started watching Joan last night. Seems I'm the only one that isn't getting on with it, as the rest of my lot are well into it, but its just not getting hold of me?

[Dodgy69]

That Hardacres was good aswel.

[Yorick]

Apples Never Fall.
We really got into this 7 parter. Loads of unseen twists and turns and cleverly written.

But the ending was shit. Like Bobby Ewing in the shower.
We wasted 7 hours

[Screwdriver]

If you like your shit weird. Try this:

Poor Things, 2023 Alice in Wonderland meets Doctor Frankenstein.

The wifes younger colleagues have got her into watching marries at first sight uk. I’m amazed at just how low some people will go for a shot at fame!
