Are they remaking it AOM? Hmm, always wary of remakes, whatever the subject. Comedy wise, only think of disasters when something so old is done again, like Bilko or the Pink Panther, which is a shame because I quite like Steve Martin in original stuff.I remember actually crying the first time I saw the co-pilot in Airplane.
Especially the scene when he flies the plane away at the end.
Don't think it would be as funny with a rewatch though, and not convinced they'll be able to replicate that type of comedy now with this remake
Yeah, like Mrs. Brown's Boys.Watched Airport 1975 the other day, it was on Legend or something, I'd seen it as a kid in the cinema so watched for nostalga. Quite a few moments when I laughed thinking of the Airplane scenes, like the stewardess playing the guitar or Captain Kramer being a micky take of Heston. I think it holds up pretty well as a slapstick kind of comedy and it led to Police Squad being made which I loved, but you're right how people and times change, we tend these days to appreciate more sophisticated comedies for their word play.
Cant' get on with that, but the wife loves it. Strange gal.Yeah, like Mrs. Brown's Boys.

starring Idris Elba and John Cena.
Two cases in and the new series of 24hrs in Police Custody continues to be extremely difficult viewing, but incredibly sensitively and well done.
Without doubt the best in this genre of fly on the wall crime series.
Just caught up with the final series of Squid Game.
Seen the ending has been getting some stick online, but I thought it was actually okay.
Was always going to be hard to live up to the first series when the mysterious "games" were what was most exciting about it.
Not looking forward the hints towards a potential American spin off though...
The plot was a bit stupid imo. The 2nd series was good but felt the 3rd series struggled to tie up the story because the plot fragmented from a single protagonist.
We knew if he didn’t do ‘x’, then ‘y’ was going to happen. There was an interesting twist but even then that didn’t make too much sense imo. Sat watching I felt a bit disappointed.
I’ve kept it deliberately vague to avoid spoilers.
This was recommended on the socially distant sports bar podcast the other day brutal .
The knockout for on the Tanman was brutal and concerning,Yeah, caught that series. Not an easy watch.
Brilliant series10 years late to the party, but just started watching Better Call Saul.
Not sure how I missed this 1st time around, but really enjoying it.
Watched the first 2 episodes over the weekend. First one didn't really work for me as I haven't seen the series it was doing a crossover with , second episode was very good and had a feel of some of the earlier series . Hopefully it will continue . as the last couple of series have been hit and miss in my opinion
There are parts of the first two seasons which are almost comically slow, but by the end it’s hitting peak Breaking Bad levels every episode.10 years late to the party, but just started watching Better Call Saul.
Not sure how I missed this 1st time around, but really enjoying it.

I rate it above Breaking Bad overall, although I concede recency bias may be talking a bit there.
I thought the last season of BB was brilliant, and one of the best ways a series has been tied up.Yeah that's part of it I reckon, it had a lot of fantastical parts that were verging a bit towards comic book. BCS is a slower and more measured pace which is 100% a positive but also why I probably won't rewatch it whereas I've recently redone Breaking Bad.
Having gone through it twice that last season of BB, while still great, brought the average down a bit.
Yep agree with that. Had to set up the big bad though with Fring gone. I actually thought the neo nazi’s made good villains, although clearly the big bad that season was Walt himselfCan't really disagree with that, I think the second half of the last season is up there with nearly anything TV can offer (Ozymandias in particular one of the best episodes of anything ever) but the first half for me was a bit of a hangover from Fring no longer being such a big part of it.
I remember enjoying El Camino at the time but I can't remember a single thing about it, just one of those things where it's disposable but always a welcome treat to revisit that world.
I think BCS trades so heavily off the Breaking Bad lore (understandably so) that it’s hard to make the comparison. The former couldn’t exist without the latter, don’t know what it would have been like as a purely standalone show.I rate it above Breaking Bad overall, although I concede recency bias may be talking a bit there.
Great ending.'Telstar - The Joe Meek Story'. Great film. Funny, tragic Historically (British music) very informative.
Really worth a watch. Only recently caught up with it.
