If you like a nicely filmed travelogue Long Way home with Euan Macgregor and Charley Boorman is exactly that - just a gentle rumble on classic motorbikes through Scandinavia in a mix of weathers is a convalescence from the mad mad world 👍
Yeah enjoyed this or one they did before.

Happy Gilmore 2.

Loved the first one, but this is just a piss-take. Starts ok and then just becomes a lazy waste of time. More celebrities in it than you can shake a stick at, and every scene seems to be filled with them.

Curious what other people think, but for me it is a bit of an insult to the original - which is a classic. Would give this 3/10.

Just finished series 2 of - Sandman ( Netflix )

They`ve really upped their game with the cast, as it`s almost like a who`s who of British acting talent, with loads of cameos from some big names.

The production and special effects are every bit as good as the first, but the fact that central characters from the first series, like Boyd Holbrook ( The Centurion ) and Gwendoline Christie ( Lucifer ) played minor roles in this series, weakened the plot and it was only when they were re introduced later on in the series, that it started to pick up.

It`s still very watchable, but just lacks something from the first series.

I think its been rushed. Whether that is because it apparently costs a fortune or because of the situation with Gaiman who knows, I suspect the later.

Series one covered issues 1 to 18 of the comic. Series two covers the rest of the run up to issue 75. The reason several attempts to apart it into a film never got off the ground is that everyone who attempted came to the conclusion you couldn't lump it all into one, each story arc needed its own space.

I can fully understand the cost, as the cast is amazing.

Maybe one day someone will be brave enough to give it the Game of Thrones treatment that it`s crying out for.

Don’t think anyone’s going to be touching Gaimans stuff for a while.

In the years they were trying to get a film made the people who were approached would comment that it needs someone who values the material like Peter Jackson did LOTR and is prepared to commit to 6+ movies. Harry Potter also used to get mentioned as a reference.

Shame that when it finally got made it all went to shit.

Anyone watch Destination X, the Traitors like new show hosted by Rob Brydon?

And to think I used to find 3-2-1 totally incomprehensible and baffling!

My missus is very, very intelligent and even she hadn't got a clue what was going on.

Anyone still watching Smoke on Apple?

I liked it at first, but wasn't entirely convinced, but it just keeps getting better and better and some of the performances are absolutely outstanding.

My missus and I, now both really love it

Saw FF last night. It was OK, better than Captain America, not at the heights of the early movies. Still don’t like Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards. He just reads as Pedro Pascal to me.

Watched the first episode last night.... The clues were ridiculously easy. I called the destination within about 2 minutes.

Hopefully it gets a bit more difficult as the season goes on

I want it to get easier. 😂 My missus too. She is very clever, but said it was a mish mosh of all sorts of conflicting clues, that were all pointing to different places. Neither of us got it.

I did crack the second episode immediately, mind.

Can't say the show is holding much interest for me and is not a patch on. Traitors.

Awful. I’ve found it’s only the Sandler obsessed weirdos who are rating it. Felt just fine when I started it but nodded off 4 or 5 times during. Another thing they should’ve left alone.

Just come out of The Naked Gun. Really enjoyed it, in the spirit of the originals but updated a bit. Some bits fall flat but they keep coming quick enough that I was laughing throughout. Good silly fun of the sort you don’t see at the cinema too often these days.
