Yes been looking forward to this as i have read all the books - sadly the wife could'nt handle it as that first episode was setting the scene and having read the book i was able to explain what was going on - but no so i have to find the time watch it when she's in the other room too near the wine - Assad is a great character
Very late to the party with this, but finally got round to watching all six series and 89 episodes of Vikings !
It`s a whisker behind Game of Thrones ( imo )
Not as complicated, which made it easier to follow, but lacked the vasts amounts of money spent on the likes of special effects of GOT, which doesn`t particularly detract from it.
Some truly epic characters - Ragnar, Lagertha, Bjorn, Loki, Ivar etc.
It`s not often I don`t want something to end, but this was one of them.
Just started Vikings today. Enjoying it.The first 3 series of Vikings are genuinely up there with the best of Game of Thrones imo.
It's just after that it falls off a cliff, and struggles a bit without some of the main cast.
Found Vikings Valhalla hard work tbh, it's interesting following a slightly later timeline but the writing isn't anywhere near as good.
Vikings vahalla any good ? As good as Ragnar
Slightly related to Vikings, the second series of 'Black Snow' on BBC iPlayer is really good. Better than the first.
Australian detective series starring Travis Fimmel. Really enjoyed it, and hopefully they announce a third soon
Was reading earlier that there's a set of films which are massive in Scandinavia. The interesting bit was after making 4 of the biggest films going in that part of the world they sacked everyone off and recast the entire thing as the author didn't think they were close enough to the books!Yes been looking forward to this as i have read all the books - sadly the wife could'nt handle it as that first episode was setting the scene and having read the book i was able to explain what was going on - but no so i have to find the time watch it when she's in the other room too near the wine - Assad is a great character
What films are you going to see though?Just booked the Odeon for a couple of films.
Friday - 28 Days Later
Monday - 28 Weeks Later
"The Children Act"There was a great drama on beeb 2 at around eleven last night featuring Emma Thompson where she's a judge, Wil be on iPlayer somewhere!
i had looked before for the Scandinavian versions but didnt manage to find them and i believe they may have had subtitles - apparently on Prime premium which costs so will give it a miss for the momentWas reading earlier that there's a set of films which are massive in Scandinavia.

I think you can pretty much guarantee, that anything Travis Fimmel is in is going to be good.
He just has a real screen presence.
He`s very good in another Aussie tv drama, which is a bit off the wall - Boy Swallows Universe.
Thanks, will add to the list!
Clown in a cornfield. Meh.
It was alright. nothing special but enjoyable enough.Ah don’t say that was looking forward to that.
Watched How to Train Your Dragon, it was alright. Missus liked the original and liked this. Probably worth a watch with the kids.

Tempted to go watch that. Might go watch Karate kid first
Had absolutely no interest in this when it was announced, but it actually looks decent
Also a sequel to Romulus has been announced, which was also really good I thought
Sounds like someone put passion before principleI wanted Karate Kid. The missus won.
Brilliant film. Saw the short years ago and wasn’t sure it would work extending it to a full film but there’s nothing in there you’d cut outRecommendation for tonight on film4 at 7:10
Brian and Charles , David Earl is great in it
Yes i really enjoyed it to. Fun film. Helped that the cinema was empty!Watched the latest offering from Saint Nicolas Cage last night - The Surfer.
What a very odd film, trippy and a real nod to 70`s film making.
I thought Saint Nic was very good in this and despite it being so weird and trippy, I really enjoyed it.

Looks good but after Andor and this I find it very funny how because we keep remaking 70s sci fi we’ve got all these futuristic worlds with ancient CRT green screens in them.

What a very odd film, trippy and a real nod to 70`s film making, but highlighting about toxic masculinity at the same time.

I wouldn't say it was weird. Just very trippy.Was it as weird as the long legs one?
Was it as weird as the long legs one?
Oh, a bit like watching England then.Not on the same planet as Long Legs !
As @Ccfcisparks says, just weird and trippy, which leads you to start believing that you`re not actually seeing what`s in front of you.
Used to love that film. Pizza the hutSpaceballs sequel has been announced. Was not excited in the slightest until I read the Deadline article that the original cast are returning including Rick Moranis coming out of retirement for his first movie since 1997!
Whoever is replacing John Candy has a very tough act to follow.
