I don't think it's a spoiler to say that when Quicksilver turned up dressed as FUCKING QUICKSILVER I had to pause the show to explain to my wife why my thirteen year old self was reclaiming my forty something brain in a nerdgasm of bongo vid proportions.

Twitter is awash with John Wick memes. Ignore the fact that SOMEONE ATE THE KIDS, A POOR DOGGY GOT THE BULLET.
based on it’s plot, going to assume it is targeted at under 10 year olds.I remember it well at the time. The BBC4 3 part documentary, The Yorkshire Ripper Files, a Very British Crime Story was excellent for taking a different and more sensitive approach to the usual true crime sensationalism. From the BBC summary:Jock42 wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 10:02 pm The Ripper.
I had heard about Sutcliffe and knew who he was but never realised how prolific the whole thing was. What a complete cluster fuck
The interviews with his victim’s children are heartbreaking, and it is quite shocking to be reminded again how inept Yorkshire police’s investigation was.Speaking to the children of some of the very first murder victims and to police officers who worked on the investigation, as well as to journalists who covered the murders, Liza Williams explores the difference between the way the women were characterised by the investigation and how they are remembered by those who knew and loved them. Meeting a survivor of one of Sutcliffe’s earlier attacks, as well as the daughter of another, Liza finds out how their vital eyewitness evidence was ignored because neither were prostitutes and did not, as a result, fit the victim profile the police had decided upon.
While the police ploughed on with their theory of that the murderer was targeting prostitutes, the killer remained at large. Between February 1977 and May 1978 Peter Sutcliffe murdered seven more women.
I'll have a look for it cheers.Lobby wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 10:22 pmI remember it well at the time.

Gigantic +1. I will never understand people who have a seemingly bottomless appetite for pitch black dramas revolving around homicide detectives. That lack of understanding isn't just limited to fans of the particularly austere Scandi offerings.Hal Jordan wrote: Sat Feb 13, 2021 12:08 am I get the same reaction as you to me when people rave about shows featuring the defiled and mutilated corpses of murdered women being investigated by borderline autistic Scandinavian detectives.
For light hearted fun it was really nice.sockwithaticket wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 10:26 pm Star Trek: Lower Decks is a fun, irreverant show I stumbled across on Prime. As a complete non-Trekkie there was probably a bunch of stuff that went over my head, but I got some chuckles out of it nonetheless and the conceit of following the non-officer crew of a non-first contact ship is a good one.
I'm grateful that's not what we got. I dabbled with the new ones, Discovery and Picard, didn't really work for me.Raggs wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 10:48 pmFor light hearted fun it was really nice.sockwithaticket wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 10:26 pm Star Trek: Lower Decks is a fun, irreverant show I stumbled across on Prime.

Get a feeling from some comments on it that some people were expecting a serious star trek series...
Have now watched much of it. It’s strangely addictive, mixed acting.
its a shame we have to wait a year for the doctor strange 2 movie to see how it ends
I loved it. Gritty and watchable...Ymx wrote: Tue Mar 09, 2021 7:31 amHave now watched much of it. It’s strangely addictive, mixed acting.
I like the idea where one or subset of the characters gets huge focus on their journey for full episodes. Makes it interesting to basically switch the main character around.
Yup, really gets good after episode 3 and continues to a fine finale.Grandpa wrote: Fri Mar 12, 2021 11:32 pmI loved it. Gritty and watchable...Ymx wrote: Tue Mar 09, 2021 7:31 amHave now watched much of it. It’s strangely addictive, mixed acting.Sandstorm wrote: Sat Feb 06, 2021 8:05 pm

We have Falcon and The Winter Soldier now, Loki in June and the much delayed Black Widow film to tide us over.
Film rather than TV. It does look like Gunn's going to make it a lot more entertaining than the last shit show.stemoc wrote: Fri Mar 26, 2021 11:14 pm can't find the movie thread, but this is gonna be AWESOME!!! .. i love Gunn
Love it. Season 3 goes a bit “PTSD-woe is me”, but series 4 is really good againYmx wrote: Sun Mar 28, 2021 6:21 pm Anyone else watched Seal Team?
Starts off with fairly repetitive mission per episode but still good.
Then it starts developing with more too it later on in season 1 with the deployment to Afghanistan.
About ep 6 now in season 2. Enjoying it.
Stick with it. Ep 2 is dreadful, but it improves again quickly.
It can be a bit too much of a soap opera at times but I enjoy it. Easy watching without engaging the brain, lots of pew pew but needs more of the dog.Ymx wrote: Sun Mar 28, 2021 6:21 pm Anyone else watched Seal Team?

The last episode with Luke showing up in an x-wing is one of the best things to ever happen in Star Wars. The Mandolorian and Jon Favreau have almost single handedly saved the franchise imo.Mr Bungle wrote: Mon Apr 05, 2021 12:32 amThe season is actually mostly shite.

Spoilers. Not everyone has watched it. I have zero time for easily pleased supposed Star Wars fans who cannot see the flaws of this series amongst the few good things that occasionally warm the Star Wars nerds heart.Trapper wrote: Mon Apr 05, 2021 12:49 amThe last episode with so and so showing up in an ship is one of the best things to ever happen in Star Wars.

I’m fucking amazing. I was going to sign that off with a wink, but seriously, what are true fans of the original trilogies missing when they think The Mandalorian is somehow righting the wrongs of the prequels/sequels? It has some quality scenes at times and a nice theme and excellent closing credits but mostly misses the mark with average action and storytelling.Trapper wrote: Mon Apr 05, 2021 2:46 amGee, I bet you’re a lot of fun to have a beer with.Mr Bungle wrote: Mon Apr 05, 2021 12:59 amSpoilers.

Who’s talking of comedic relief? While there’s some incredibly shit examples in the films outside of the originals. Comedic relief isn’t representative of the issues with the pre and sequels. You’re correct with Ewoks, but R2 & C3PO were class compared to the likes of BB8.Raggs wrote: Mon Apr 05, 2021 10:27 am I often think people venerate the original trilogies more than they deserve. They point to Jar Jar Binks and cry about comedic relief, and completely ignore the fact that r2d2 and C3po were a comedy duo. Porgs = ewoks etc, hell, even chewy was often there for laughs. I didn't mind the comedic relief aspect as much as many seem to, but when they start trying to claim that the original films didn't have such things, they're straight up wrong.
