TV/Movies Megathread

[Eddie Teach]

Didn't know he was British.

[Sheilbh]

Yeah from Peckham. He is very much a local hero still does a lot of fundraising for the local youth theatre he went to as a kid which is nice and he took Harrison Ford to a Nigerian place on the Old Kent Road.

I went to see the first of the Star Wars in the local cinema and there was a huge cheer when he first came on the screen

[Syt]

I saw him first in Attack The Block: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_the_Block

Good movie.

[Valmy]

Never been prouder of local boy done good John Boyega

Really? How oversensitive can you get David Marris?

I am so insulted you hate racists and made a beard joke! ONLY MONSTERS DO THAT!!!111 The guy must cry everytime he leaves his house.

[Eddie Teach]

Uncut Gems. Sandler did a decent job. Character & story were kinda cliche though.

[Duque de Bragança]

Also. PS:

Survivors conspiracy goes on... Survivors has been released in France on DVD. However, it's the 2008 version.  Cashing in on 28 Days later and 28 Weeks later fame according to the description. 

The youtube links I have for watching are beyond crappy (240p?!)...

Watched the first couple episodes of Space Force on Netflix.

It's not good.

I dunno - watched the first 3-4 episodes.

I had a few genuine laugh out loud moments.  It's not fantastic, but I want to watch more.

John Malkovitch is worth watching the show all by himself though.

Curious if you have any military-specific complaints though.  Clearly the show's Space Force is more like a militarized NASA, and not like the real Space Force, for what it's worth.

Two Nights, One Day - if Ken Loach was Belgian.
Company decides to sack a woman who has been on sick leave with mental health issues. They setup a dodgy vote for her colleagues to agree to this for some reason. She has to go around them trying to get them to pick her or her bonus.
Messed up if this is a thing that happens

I watched the first episode, I agree with you that Malkovitch alone makes this worth watching.  But it also pretty good otherwise.  I think the main issue is they couldn't decide what they wanted to the character to be - the person the jokes were directed at or someone who we should take more seriously.

I'm about halfway through the first episode and I haven't had a single good laugh yet

[Habbaku]

The Great on Hulu is pretty amazing, witty, and dramatic in equal turn. 8.5 out of 10 Huzzahs!

I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Just have to turn off the inner bitchy historian for a bit. 😄

[Habbaku]

Oh, yes. Have to throw history out the window on that one.

There are two major anachronisms that made me laugh, at least:

1: They show Francisco Goya's painting, Saturn Devouring his Son some ~60 years in advance of the art even being made.
2: The children's choir in episode 7 singing White Army, Black Baron (in Russian). A Red Army song from the Russian Civil War. 

[Josquius]

I've seen 3 episodes of space force. Its...ok. It's not an outright sitcom, it's more a light comedic drama in the Silicon Valley vein. And it has had laughs.
I also love that phoebie buffet and Michael Scott are married.
