Barton Fink yes I have seen that John Goodman and John Turtorro was in it I think , the only good Barton I know of ;lol

There used to be a really good bakers called Bartons, in Walthamstow. Did great doughnuts. Got taken over by Percy Ingles though. Mind you, their doughnuts are excellent as well.

Don`t know if this has been done already over the previous 30 pages, but my daughter has recently introduced me to a fantastic new (to me) TV programme, and that is Modern Family. Have always liked American comedy, and have also recently started watching The Big Bang Theory which is great and am a big fan of Friends, Frasier, Everybody Loves Raymond etc. But I think Modern Family (at times) tops the lot. A slightly unusual format, but the acting and writing are first class, and it is genuinely laugh out loud funny. ;biggrin ;ok

WrathChild

Just sitting here watching Keanu reeves over act with an appalling English accent in Dracula.

Just started watching Gotham as it's now on Netflix. Very good so far. The tv series of Daredevil was also very good

Watching Masterchef Junior. Is it ok to hate an arrogant 12-year-old?

Madcap ;ok love modern family.. Also love 2 broke girls ;diva ..I tend to only watch comedy rather than heavy stuff!.. Recently here in SA we got new series of Blandings and Raised by Wolves , which both I love ;run ;ok

TheMadcapLaughs

Jay ;ok Unfortunately I don`t have much time for TV, but there are countless series I see snippets of, or see advertised etc that I would love to watch but simply don`t get the time. One that really appeals, as I like horror/zombies etc is American Horror Story. The quality of a lot of the TV series now (mostly American) is incredibly high, so much to see, so little time.

WrathChild

Madcap - American Horror Story is excellent. A bit gruesome at times though so not for the squeamish. I love the fact that each series is a new concept with the same cast (Murder House, Asylum, Coven, Freak Show, Hotel)

TheMadcapLaughs

Wrath ;ok Will have to make a determined effort then.

WrathChild

If you have a netflix account the first three series are on there to watch at your leisure

Clactonite

I finished the second season of True Detective last night and I'd give my review but I didn't have the foggiest idea what was going on! Seriously after watching 10 hours of a show I'm none the wiser than if I would have just watched 2 minutes!

TheMadcapLaughs

Wrath ;ok We do indeed have Netflix. Will definitely give it a go. Ta for that. ;scary

"Marshland" gets my vote for this week. A Spanish film set in the immediate post- Franco period about two detectives who are sent from Madrid to investigate the disappearance of two teenage girls in Andalucia.

TwistandShout

Has anyone seen 'Better Call Saul' yet?
Loved Breaking Bad, so wanted to see this.

OutcastLondoner

Yeah, I enjoyed it Twist. It has the same kind of humour, though plot is obviously very different.

But seeing some characters in their earlier form is cool.

WrathChild

Twist - It's pretty good, but I didn't think it was as good as Breaking Bad. Worth a watch though.

Thanks guys ;thumbsup

Sully you dodgy little so and so......

Pwoper nwaughty.......

"I know nuffink about it, I wasn't there, never seen 'em before"

Cracks me up, Claret & No Clue keeps promoting the movie by doing a competition to win two signed DVD copies......

But he keeps thinking the title of the movie is "The Rise and Fall of the Krays"..... in his headline and leading/main article lines....

It's not, it's just "The Rise of the Krays"......he's so impatient in getting his articles out there, he clearly needs to hire a proof reader.

Sully actually talks of doing a second movie which is "The fall of the Krays"

TheMadcapLaughs

Perhaps the next one will be called "The Rise And Fall Of The Krays"......... a bit like The Rise And Fall Of Reginald Perrin...... ;bowdown and every time Sully thinks of our manager he pictures a..............................oh, hang on................that would be the prequel.....................

simonc

Its worth a watch but the acting especially the police inspector is very suspect - Definitely a "B" movie.
Better luck with the fall ;biggrin

OutcastLondoner

Has Narcos started on Netflix yet? Looking forward to that one.

SuzanneClaret

We have been watching Zoo... not sure what to make of it yet.

OutcastLondoner

So Narcos is a pretty good watch. About Pablo Escobar; his rise and American/Colombian attempts to catch him. Well made and a good watch, by today I would've finished the series in three days.

Does bug me a bit from a historical point of view, narrator is a DEA agent and it definitely whitewashes the American position in all of it, or even glorifies it. Though, I can't quite tell if that's because they'll switch the narrative on that later. Hopefully.

MrsGrey

Question I have. I wouldn't be wasting 1 mill or so on a B movie when I have a football club in need of finance. Personally

Yeah, and does he really need to have marmalade on his toast. That's good money he's spending right there that he could be putting towards a new striker ;angry
