What are you watching?

Yeah it was Sky.

I’ve got seasons 1-3 on dvd if that’s any use to get you started? I don’t have a dvd player any more, you’re welcome to them.

That’s a very kind offer, thank you.
I think I might go for tge 9.99 a month via Now TV. New True Detective coming soon and my daughter wants to see Last of Us which I know is supposed to be great. :+1:

Watched the first three episodes of ‘Gen V’ on Amazon prime and it’s shaping up to be just as weird, gross, funny and dark as ‘The Boys’.

Currently watching everyone’s Convenanza videos, marvelling at some of Sean’s selections. I didn’t think it would survive but reviews seem positive

Not an expert at all and have never been but get the feeling it’s respectfully morphing into something new as opposed to some sort of tribute. David Holmes, Ivan Smagghe etc carrying the torch with Sean. Which is exciting. Basically Caroline’s Spun Out roster are fucking excellent and anything they get together to do would be consistently brilliant.

any love for “the wonderful story of henry sugar” on Netflix?

solid cast and wes anderson directing a roald dahl story, something about writing that explains why i’m hesitant, i think :sweat_smile:

I’ve loved all of them. It was my favourite Dahl book as a kid so I have a soft spot and think Wes Anderson is doing a brilliant job.

@LazySimon’s post about working jewelry reminded me we saw this doc recently. Equally hilarious and fascinating with some terrific characters.

Honestly, the stories I could tell. The characters, the wrong doing, the tax dodges etc etc.
I tried watching the Adam Sandler film when it came out but found it too triggering. I’ve watched it since and thought it very good.
I was in it for 9 years then stopped abruptly and couldn’t look back. Total change of direction, mostly driven by parties, clubs and ecstasy! :joy:
I’ll check the doc, thanks :+1:

I worked at Garrard (Stephen Webster was based there as well) for a few years in the accounts department, definitely wasn’t how I’d imagined it would be…

I was in The Lanes in Brighton, but travelled a lot to various shows and exhibitions around the world as well as going on sales trips on my own.
The late 80’s and 90’s were a golden age in the antique and period jewellery trade it seems. Thursday was ‘dealer day’ when you’d get a lot of the london and international dealers down.
Friday was Bermondsey market where if goods were sold before day break then provinence couldn’t be questioned. I’d leave brighton at 2am with a car load of jewellery and silverware, try and stall out whilst the vultures descended. Madness.
We had a shop in the Burlington Arcade for a few years. There was the air of propriety around Bond St etc but I’m sure the shenanigans were much the same.

I watched the series Candy last year and really enjoyed it… Looking forward to seeing this version…
