nyblue23 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Just saw If Beale Street Could Talk based on the James Baldwin novel. Phenomenal film. Also just started watching The Inbetweeners. I know I’m late... anybody have an opinion before I waste too much time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love watches, feel naked without one. One of my most prized possessions is a gold Longines that my dad bought in the 1960's (he got it in Amsterdam airport on his way home from a business trip to the US and "smuggled" it into the country by wearing it when he should have paid import duty). My mum went mad when she found out what he paid for it. I recently got it completely restored to "as new" (had to do back the Switzerland) including having the face repainted by hand and it cost stupid money, new strap alone was £150 but it's irreplaceable for sentimental reasons as much as anything else. Apparently now worth around £5,000 but I'll never sell it, it'll go to my lad one day, and I hope he never sells it, sure he won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep watching the Inbetweeners if you've enjoyed it so far, we get reruns almost everyday over here and there still good to watch again. nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the BBC iPlayer at the moment. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b088fl1q/manchester-by-the-sea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 The Punisher (season 2) as Frank Castle is the fucking man. Not as good as season 1 and will likely be cancelled soon (all the other Netflix series have) but will be interesting to see what they do with The Punisher when he turns up on Disney+ when that goes live.

MikeO Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Slight Vikings spoiler alert follows but it's more my opinion than actually giving anything away. Just seems to be going around in circles a bit for me now, think they're dragging it out but they still have twenty episodes in series six to do. The Iceland side story was/is also a very bad idea for me, don't see the point of it. Reviews on Prime itself have dropped from 80% 5/5 for the first raft of this series to 54% on the second lot (with two to come) so seems I'm not alone.

I really don't know how I feel about that... Best program ever... not sure how they can carry it on. Paulie was the only survivor, Silvio was in a bad way.... Bobby was shot, Tony was too well... I'm certain that shite ending was meant to indicate that. David Chase got carried away with himself at times.... tonys dreams etc.... Best episode... pine barrons. You don't even need to watch the series... that was a one off that you could watch as a means of getting I to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Think a prequel could work but I'd imagine they'd completely lose the therapist element and be a lot more generic mobster show giving the period but character wise the mum alone would be worth watching.

It's no Boardwalk Empire imo but I'm liking it so far, I've had a few people say it's drops off after the first two seasons so I'll see how it goes I need a filler until Thrones and Better Call Saul etc kick back off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen an episode of Sopranos; it's just not a genre that interests me really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
