MikeO Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 New adaptation of Great Expectations on the beeb, thought the post watershed scheduling was a bit odd but they've managed to get a bit of S&M into episode two Unsure it was what Dickens had in mind when he penned it Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished Foundation and Silo on Apple+. I thought they were decent. Season 2 of Foundation just started a week or two ago. Not really bingeworthy though, as both just have one complete season.

The writing and acting is as good as any show I've seen. However, you have to be fine with watching despicable people be horrible to each other. Severance on Apple? If you haven't, it's a must. I just recently did my first watch through of the Sopranos in about 15 years. Really was the show that started the boom in quality tv that we see now.

dunlopp9987 Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Just saw Oppenheimer, and wowwy zowwy I think that might be Nolan's opus. And he's made some great ones. A long movie but I'm tempted to go back again soon, I absolutely loved it. The entire a-bomb test sequence was one of the most gripping 10-15 minutes of film I've seen in a while.

For me it was the most gripping 10 minutes since the end of Inception (still the best Nolan film, or any film to be honest, but this runs close). I’ve been a fan of Nolan for sometime, but at this point I can’t put anyone above him. The man is on another level. I used to love Scorsese and how he told a story, but the last ten years or so he’s been far overtaken. Matt and dunlopp9987 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
