    Oh. Well, that's good then. Because presumably you paid.

    I just thought that after an hour I'd have liked a bit more plot and character. It was all CGI and explosions.

    Which I'm normally quite partial to, as long as it has enough plot development. ;puzzled

    Although, it was quite startling in the first minute, as I thought grey had said we were going to be watching Star WARS ... so when the voiceover referred to the Starship Enterprise I was quite excited, I thought there was some kind of post-modern intertextuality going on. ;lol ;doh ;yercoat

    Intertextuality?? ;nonono (where's me dictionary!)

    Saw Passengers. Despite critics slating it, thought it was pretty good for what it was. Left the cinema asking myself questions what would i would do, interesting to say the least.

    Rule 1 of converting a Video Game into a Film. DO NOT CHANGE THE CHARACTERS NAMES. DO NOT CHANGE THE ENTIRE STORY LINE OF THE GAME.

    Do not convert video games to film. It doesn't work.

    They are games you can play on your computer, such as virtual ping pong:

    There's also a sophisticated version of this called Break Out, which is like a kind of solo squash, but the 'bricks' disappear when you hit them. That's really clever, but can be a bit tricky to get the hang of. I can't see how you could make a good film out of it, though.

    Netflix tv remake of Shooter is pretty good. Always thought the film was under-rated.

    Watching the Westworld TV Series at the min bit slow to get going but its building up nicely
  • billybondsbeardbillybondsbeard
    Westworld is brilliant
    Very thought provoking ;ok
  • eskimokingeskimoking
    I didn't get the hype for it at all. It's exactly the sort of show I should love but I just thought it was boring. Last episode almost changed my mind on it, but it's a drag up til then after the pilot.

    Finished watching it I think they could have cut it down by 2 episodes and picked the pace up abit it was good but too slow and they have left it wide open without really resolving anything.

    Is Taboo any good? Missed it Saturday but can catch it on iplayer if worth it.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I like it, it's a bit odd which I like.

    Worth a look in my opinion

    I'm very late to the Line of Duty party. Top class cop TV, with the added bonus of a young Denis Wise as one of the leads...

    Lad I grew up with is in it. Not really a mate of mine but one of my oldest mates best friend. Danny ligari Badham. He's a Fijian had a chance encounter with Tom hardy who apparently asked him to be in it.

    Thought the first episode was a bit dull.

    Just finished watched the fall, was very good.

    Trying currently to get into man in a high castle and westworld. Neither really grabbing to much at present.

    If anyone gives any consideration to watching the autopsy of jane doe. Don't.

    It's proper scary.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    ;ok sweatband

    Yeah it does look like Taboo is a bit of a slow burn but I think its worth persevering with.

    Watched "Taboo" on catch up last night-impressive.
