Dubman @Kells77 United Skates - A brilliant documentary about the rise and fall of the roller skate rinks in the USA. I didn’t realise how big it was and how racial it got at certain times.
jonattonyeah Dubman Ohhhh that looks good. Dunno how I missed that. Usually up on HBO docs. But yeah rollerskating was HUGE in the Black community over this way. There’s still a rink up in Richmond and a few in Sacramento but they’re pretty much all gone now. It’s a shame. People wonder why sideshows are such a thing (which can get violent and dangerous). Well you don’t give kids something to do they’ll find something to do.
rhouses I don’t know where it aired but Ken Burns’ three part documentary on Ernest Hemingway is brilliant. Dense af, but well worth a watch if you’re a fan of either Burns or Hemingway.
Dubman jonattonyeah I didn’t realize it was a hbo film as i watched it on bbc4. It’s very good with some excellent moves.
303abuser american rust was a decent watch. not ground-breaking by any means, but the characters and story are good.
rhouses There are few things in the world that make me more happy than a cold and crisp winters day, sunlight in the tv room, a massive joint, and The Great British Bake Off. Enjoying the covid season from last year.
vinnyt77 rhouses FFS. Balmy. Tropical. Currently 1 degree in Brighton. Suspect @303abuser can pretty easily beat that n’all…
jonattonyeah Started this. It’s….okay. But I’m a big Jeremy Renner fan so I’ll stick with it. Episode two picks up a bit. Premiere wasn’t very good.
303abuser i’ve been watching black sails for the last week and it’s way better than i expected. there seem to be a few little plot/timeline issues, but the characters are so good and the pacing is really quick, so i don’t seem to care. one of the more entertaining shows i’ve seen in quite a while.
