Watched Heretic last night. Possibly the dumbest film I’ve seen in a long time. Couldn’t stop watching even though my brain was screaming stop. Incredulity heaped upon plot device. Fuck me backwards…

Watched the first episode for free but can’t see me subscribing to Apple TV to watch the rest. Might have to check t0rr3nt5…
RIP Gary
I seem to get it free through my bank or credit card or something. Otherwise I’m with you there.

Have we had this? Would very much like to to and dance to ‘Magic Fly’ in front of the Temple of Hera.

Watching Noel Fielding paint while listening to Pink Floyd:
Caught up with Slow Horses, was expecting a drop in quality after some comments on here but found it very enjoyable still. Perhaps not the best series, but stil top drawer TV. The scenes between Gary Oldman and Kristen Scott Thomas positively crackle with chemistry, its a joy to behold

Any folk on here been watching the cricket 
?
England are doing a great job of throwing this game away this morning after some superb bowling yesterday. Cracking turnout from the England fans down under!

Train Dreams. Great Big American Novel/ Terence Malick territory but at short story volume, with one man dwarfed and crushed but also lifted up by the scale and the possibility of the place. Joel Edgerton handsome and emoting but not too much. Cracking Lumberjacking gear too.

I’m listening to TMS rewound when I wake up, usually after 7am. Even though i’m not on any social media it’s been difficult to avoid spoilers. That’s why I ignored your message first thing this morning 
I’m still listening but I think you may have been correct!

Not even a hint of recognition from McCullum about the time and money spent to go and see that dismal display. They’ve become a hard to team to like, so arrogant and smug.

I don’t mind their attitude at all. I’m sure it’s based on evidence from sports psychology. I accept it as just that and it doesn’t wind me up like it seems to most people.
I wouldn’t say it was a dismal performance either. Listening yesterday and then watching the highlights last night, I thought the England bowling was the best i’ve seen. Absolutely frightening.
Any criticism of the way this current team play should be tempered by the performance of Travis Head and his 70 odd ball century. It worked for him.
I’m not as partisan as all that and find the Australian team as fascinating and enjoyable to watch as England.
I’m not sure if this is stoked (no pun intended) by the comments below the line on any report regarding either the men’s or women’s cricket teams. If this forum is the loveliest place on the www then the comments section on the BBC sports app is a cesspool.
I will admit to being a bit peeved at no cricket for the next two days though.

Its the worst batting performance I’ve seen in some time by England, to have 105 lead with 9 wickets in hand then getting beat inside 2 days is astonishing. They are failing the big tests as a team over and over again and wasting some superb talent with their refusal to adapt to the game situation they are involved in.

New Wong Kar Wai TV (!), Blossoms Shanghai, hitting The Criterion Channel Monday. Blocked some time to watch at least some of the thirty episode series over Thanksgiving. Not sure about streaming in other countries.
