  1. Television Invincible (Amazon Prime)

    Oh man the wait is going to be unbearable. Marks relationship scenes were the most boring for me so glad that's over. Allen is such a great character. Nolans development is handled pretty well I'd say, it's not easy to give a space nazi murderer a redemption arc. It's all just so damn good...
  2. Film Roadhouse Remake (Amazon Prime)

    I'm starting to despise with venom this "banter" that finds it's way into so many modern scripts. It's mostly just bland self awareness that stopped being original and fresh a long time ago, perhaps if it had some sharpness to it you could forgive it but none of that to be found here. The...
  3. Terror attack in Moscow music hall | Do not post shooting videos or dead bodies

    Please don't take this in the wrong way as I agree with your sentiment in principle but the word weakness has long become wishful thinking on our part that there will be some negative outcome for Putin. With every weak/humiliating/embarrassing act his grip on Russia appears to only get tighter.
  4. Chess discussions

    3+2 is the most fun time control for me! The increment means you don't flag so easily but I still like the nature of quick games.
  5. Television The Wheel of Time | Thread for the TV show - book nerds shoo

    As someone who thought the first season felt like a really expensive made for TV series with garbage tier dialogue and baffling deviations from the source material.... would season 2 feel any different?
  6. Gaming Football Manager 2024

    Couldn't imagine playing this game solo, just doesn't appeal to me anymore. But doing a network game is the best thing ever. I'm Norwich and my mate is Ipswich. 6th and 9th in the league respectively but I also had the pleasure of knocking him out of the 3rd round of the fa Cup. The hype was...
  7. Television Was the ending to Lost really THAT bad? | Yes

    I mean, you're right there, GoT got pretty much everyone involved in the same way Lost did. Lot's of people who wouldn't typically watch the genre but did so anyways just to be part of the buzz. I guess that was the only one? Unless there's loads I'm not thinking of and that claim was utter shite.
  8. Television Was the ending to Lost really THAT bad? | Yes

    I mean you gotta give it to this show, I've never seen anything before or since that had so many people talking about it in such a way. At one point it seemed like every single person I knew would be talking about the latest mystery after an episode aired. I get there's a huge supernatural...
  9. Film Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer'

    Honestly, didn't really love this. It's clearly amazing on every technical level. Everyone is well cast, the music was of course superb, the dialogue had a lot of enjoyable snappy back and forth, and there were a lot of intentionally unnerving and powerful directional choices. But the thing...
  10. Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

    Well this is..... disappointing.
  11. Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

    I suppose my complete ignorance of anything military is obvious :lol: I was picturing a massacre from above if the Russian Army decided to actually take out the Wagner group, I have no idea how well equipped they are to put up a resistance to that.
  12. Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

    My first thought was exactly this - What are 25,000 or 50,000 troops going to do against planes in the sky?
  13. Television Black Mirror | Season 6 out June 15th

    I enjoyed it a lot. From worst to best I'd say... 4, 5, 2, 1, 3 I'm not how I feel about the turn away from tech dystopia/satire to mystery/supernatural. They were my least favorite episodes of the season for sure.
  14. Children in critical condition after France knife attack

    Much better this way. He won't ever leave prison and one can only hope inmates get access to him.
  15. Children in critical condition after France knife attack

    I dont understand how this could be anything other than an act of terrorism. But I suppose I'm not understanding what they mean here.
