The greatest country on earth giving White Lotus the thumbs up -
Do Alexandra Daddario and Sydney Sweeney get the baps out?
The phrase “White Lotus” is starting to annoy me every time I see it.
I hear yah. Its like every time I hear The Washington Football Team.
zackster Don’t panic, it’s a place holder name whilst we look for a better, non-racist name. Won’t be long
Been making my way through Gareth Evans’ “Gangs of London”. Good grief some of the violence is off the charts. Heads exploding. Fingernails being removed. It’s bonkers. Pretty good, ’though. Very well shot. Looking forward to his next film “Havoc” which should be out next year. Both “The Raid” films are top notch IMO.

jonattonyeah It’s mental. I gave up caring about the plot an episode and a half in.
The Raid films are great. That fight scene in the kitchen is unreal. Took 8 days to shoot apparently.
SM001 I gave up caring about the plot an episode and a half in
Yeah it’s pretty rough in parts. I mean, I would expect some serious police intervention if half of this stuff was actually happening. London isn’t fucking Mogadishu. But, hey, no big deal. Just 10 dead dudes all tied to the same syndicate, all with blown-off limbs at the same location, blood everywhere. No need to bring anyone in for questioning or anything. Have at it, lads. Don’t worry about us peelers.
Thought Gangs of London was awful.
Cheers.

It’s alright. Just pitched poorly. It’s not a drama, but rather “John Wick” meets “Zero Zero Zero”. Not unlike people saying “The White Lotus” (to trigger AtW) is a comedy. It isn’t. Temper expectations and they’re both enjoyable in their own way.
EDIT okay well the cops finally showed up in episode 8. Good job, Old Bill!
The Chair brought me a bit of despair with my English , Creative Writing degree. Lol. Slow burner but good show.
The Untold sports docu series that’s releasing an episode week by week is solid. As good as 30 for 30 even. Swerved the Caitlin Jenner one tho.
Michael Keaton is 70 today. His new Netflix-movie Worth is reviewed pretty well. It came out on Friday.
Mine is Captain Gene in The Other Guys.
Johnny Dangerously is a firm fave
Dan ‘you fargin sneaky icehole’ probably remembered that wrong..haven’t seen it in years..multiple vhs rental fave when i was a teenager
Phil-McRackin spot on
Never really watched Community despite lots of recommendations…and Alison Brie and Gillian Jacobs..it’s funny! #insight.
The episode about Sadam on Who Wants to be a Dictator or whatever its called is good. He was a proper pyscho. The part about kidknapping some party members, keeping them in a dungeon and then feeding them and giving them all an envelope with $1000 dollars is pretty sadistic.
I would love to be a dictator. Would be boss. High risk but high reward.
Bobby Mugabe, absolute ledge.
Big shout out to all the loosers and haters but Trump should have an episode
Trump should have done more dictatory stuff imo. Loved his idea of the military parades, but he should have got involved with torture of political opponents and poster campaigns featuring him looking regal and rock-hard. Opportunity missed imo.
Trump could’ve been an all timer if he was afforded the opportunity.
His PR agency was garbage. Loads of ops missed. That truck one where he looked like a toddler could have been easily turned around if said truck ran over some dissidents. Equally, instead of holding up a bible after teargassing everyone outside the church, he could have fired off an AK47 into the air.

So much promise. It’s a real shame. Not going to call him a bust but for sure a disappointment.
Hey Millsy, in a dictator draft, Hitler goes #1, right?
Pol Pot has to be in with a shout - 25% of your population killed. Hundreds of thousands tortured to death.
jonattonyeah Well, Hitler is usually the people’s favourite, mainly because he had some great ideas. But personally I’m with Grant. Pot’s war on enlightenment, and the way he went about it, is the gold standard all us wannabe dictators should aspire to.
Went to Tuol Sleng when I was in Cambodia.
Properly harrowing.
Went go-karting after and fired an AK-47 after that.
A very strange day.
