I’ve seen two episodes of Primeval and frankly, that’s more than it deserves. There are the three types of characters there, well four really: the stupid, the unlucky, the incredibly lucky and those with a very bad aim. Shite.

I knew you would embrace its varied dimensions, Grant lol

I thought American Primeval was really good. Well acted and shot with some incredible camerawork and cinematography with the snowy mountain vistas and realistic battle sequences. Often these sort of “historical fiction” things are just horribly failed actors in shitty costumes saying terrible lines but this was definitely not that. The actual stories could have been a bit less basic maybe with longer story arcs and more characters but I am hoping for a season 2.

    C_J so you thought the whole isolated women being told to stay for good reason and yet contradicting the advice was realistic

    303abuser you jumped it massively!

      Along_the_Wire fair point, Grant. I’ve yet to meet a woman who can’t follow simple instructions & keep their nose out of shit they have no business getting involved in……

      that was probably the single most realistic part!!!!!!! 😆

        Lol!

        Along_the_Wire haha and after all that, the album is pretty meh anyways, nothing new there.

        Black Hawk Down-doc (three parts) up now.

        A 9 hour documentary on Prince was was due to be released on Netflix but has now been pulled by the Prince estate. Shame as I reckon that would have been great.

          RichM that’s a shame. I wonder why it got pulled? He wasn’t a beast was he?

            Millsy from what I can gather they want to do their own documentary, which probably means they didn’t like some of what was in the Netflix one.

              Shrouded in Controversy no doubt

                RichM which means 9 hours wasn’t enough for Netflix, it should be 18 HOURS

                  This tale should always feature in any respectable Prince docco.

                  LT42 tbf I would happily watch 18 hours of a documentary on him. I was absolutely gutted when he passed away, was a massive fan.

                    Regret not seeing Prince live but I didn’t think he was going to cark it so soon.

                    Seen him three times - brilliant stuff. Went to Paisley Park when I went on a trip to Chicago/Minneapolis a few years ago - that was amazing, I have to say.

                    RichM Me too. He might be the most talented musician we’ll ever see.

                    Prince could legitmately play upwards of 30 different instruments. Can you imagine the ridin he was doing.

                    He couldn’t make a decent prog track if his life depended on it though.

                    It’s a funny old game.

                      One of the great creative streaks up to and including Sign of the Times. Subsequent albums patchy at best. He even gave one away free with the Mail on Sunday

                        He got a fortune for that.

                        Along_the_Wire Forgot that was after Sign of the times. Up until that point then. Eye No to Alphabet Street 👌

                        Followed the gabby petito case in real time, guess you could say her family did a good job with the awareness if some random dude in Bangalore kept getting served news items and YouTube videos of all the drama.

                        Not such a bad true crime Netflix doc. Kinda sad, but hard to have sympathy for gen z fucks.

                        Been a long time coming…filmed in 2021, not still sure why it’s taken this long but Gareth Evans directed so should be good.

                          Annihilation, probably the best Netflix original movie ever, is leaving the service in ten days on March 12th. Now is the time to watch it if you haven’t before. I myself have watched it three times by my count. 😀

                          The bear scene is super chill.

                            Homegrove that one really splits audiences. I thought it was great.

                              Millsy I fucking love it. Garland is yet to disappoint me. Though I still haven’t watched Men. But Ex Machina and Civil War were both 5/5 for me.

                              Also the film was shot completely in the UK. The shack with the alligator was shot in a pond in Windsor Great Park. The set dressers were VERY good in other words, because I sure thought that was Florida.

                              I’m in the other split - awful film. Pulled the ripcord after an hour

                              Half way through Zero Day and enjoying it so far. Surprised it’s not been mentioned yet, considering De Niro is in it

                                Zero Day was ok, not terrible I guess.

                                RichM he looks a decent swimmer for 80
