In fairness that whole situation had me completely unsure of how exactly it wa going to play out right to the end, so kudos for that I guess. And I always have time for Aubrey Plaza, it was interesting to see her do what was pretty much a straight dramatic role for a change.Ymx wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 9:21 pm That’s a fair summary.
With regards to Stiflers mum
The two couples had me intrigued and how it played out. I really enjoyed that.SpoilerShowI was actually so pleased in the end, as I thought she might live, and she was so annoying and horrible.
I’d agree about the piano player girl. But she deserved it, and the piano playing guy was a pretty awful guy.
The Italian Americans were just plain annoying, and a complete waste of air time.

What a psychotic thing to say“It’s a really beautiful thing,” said Dr João Araújo, a Brazilian mycologist with the New York Botanical Garden, who made the discovery but has not yet decided on a name. “They infect trapdoor spiders, and it’s one of the very few cordyceps that are purple, which is a cool feature.

Maybe I am also psychotic, but I don't see what's wrong with that? People get excited by new stuff going on in their field. There are lots of known fungi that infect insects, so it's not as if this new discovery heralds the realisation of The Last Of Us and he's thrilled by the prospect.Ymx wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 10:55 amEnergiseR2 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 10:35 am Season 3 Last of Us sorted https://www.theguardian.com/environment ... brazil-aoeWhat a psychotic thing to say“It’s a really beautiful thing,” said Dr João Araújo, a Brazilian mycologist with the New York Botanical Garden, who made the discovery but has not yet decided on a name. “They infect trapdoor spiders, and it’s one of the very few cordyceps that are purple, which is a cool feature.

At one point the study of how animals hunt their prey would have been novel and exciting. Is it macabre to consider the uniqueness of a chamelon's tongue or the death roll of a crocodile cool?
Can no predator be described as beautiful then? They all take life, some more gruesomely than others perhaps, but they all do it.
Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
I don't understand how a fungus can't be beautiful (or you have to be psychotic to consider it that)? Where/how is the line drawn? Just because it does terrible things doesn't mean it cannot be beautiful.

Word for word, that's what I said when the law caught me red handed.

And guess which show based in Baltimore I happen to be re-watching...
'The Wire' Star Lance Reddick Dead at 60
Lance Reddick, famous for his work on HBO's "The Wire" and the "John Wick" movie franchise has died ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Lance's body was discovered at his Studio City home Friday morning around 9:30 AM. His cause of death is currently unclear, but our law enforcement sources say it appears to be natural.

I haven't even watched the Wire (sacrilege, I know) but loved him in everything I've ever seen him in. RIP.
I binged the lot during the early lockdowns, and loved it. Admittedly, it took a while to get into the swing of things like the Baltimore vernacular and dense writing, but once I was hooked there was no stopping. Just so consistently brilliant across so many engaging storylines and characters. Highly addictive telly.

Having not watched it for more than 10 years, it's really difficult to get back to picking up the street talk, not just the argot but the rhythm of the language too. Like the first watch feel like I need subs at timesGumboot wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 8:45 pm I binged the lot during the early lockdowns, and loved it.

I watched it... well tried to... was a struggle.. got half way through season 2 and gave up... at no point did I enjoy it or find it interesting... I don't know why. Maybe because I just finished the Sopranos... So wasn't ready for it.
I did enjoy We Own this City though....
Got half way through it and gave up. I find it hard to enjoy shows about conmen... even if based on a true story... plus I keep thinking of him in Happy Valley which spoils everything...

Grogu running around in an exoskeleton bashing buttons that yell No and Yes whilst his exasperated father has to pay for the food the little devil is stealing might be the best thing I've seen this year.
At the time in the 80s.. I was the same... but re-watching now, I'm enjoying Coach... that falling down the stairs to pull a woman was brilliant! I thought it would age badly... but no... I'm into Season 2 now. Could never get into Frasier or Seinfeld, but Cheers... love it. The humour comes more naturally and isn't forced like it is in those other two shows...EnergiseR2 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 6:35 amThat's weird. I started episode 1 last Monday. Its a bit stilted in the first series until it sharpens up. Probably ny age but I rathered Kirstie Alley and Woody to coach and Shirley

My wife has started watching alongside my boy and I (he hadn't seen the earlier seasons, so we went through all of it together). She now regularly tells my boy to do something and finishes with "I have spoken." Only issue is, he now often replies with "No. No. No. No."Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day.

“Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.”
I am quite enjoying it. Doesn’t take itself too seriously. Likeable main character, and enough action and not hugely predictable.
7.5/10
Defo worth watching
Hyped to the extent of everyone I know who has watched it saying how tremendous it is, and similar noise on social media. I'm not saying it's rubbish but it's just following the same old formula with some pretty unimpressive acting performances.
Thought it was a very enjoyable, easy watch.
It's a decent enough story wrapped up with enough intrigue and plot twists, well enough acted. Yes you can probably figure out some of the twists and plot in advance but it's not too drawn out. Perfect Sunday evening fare or something to binge if you're stuck in bed sick.
