What are you watching?

An awful MC, the footage of him recording his raps for his comeback album were toe curling, even the producer was laughing at him, Jacob Rees-Mogg probably has better flow and rhythm than that clown.

The female juror seemed to think it was all a laugh and amusing :confused: the decision to not sequester the jury looks like a big mistake.

Finally got round to watching The Holdovers…

Just *perfection and the best film I’ve seen in a good while. Paul Giamatti is one of those rare actors that you could watch doing anything. My new favourite Christmas film.

*A tighter edit that cut 30 minutes would have been :ok_hand:

Yeah that was really odd wasn’t it… She was so taken with the fame thing. Pretty sad. And also the other artist from that duo that clearly came out in support for a few thousand dollars…

We had put off the Michael Jackson one and now it’s gone…

Pretty grim reading

Yeah the girl from Dirty Money, helping him out when he couldn’t even lend her 5 grand when she was desperate to help with legal issues regarding her kids.
He probably drops more than that at the strip club and she’s crying for him and saying she loves him ffs…bizarro.

I watched that at the weekend, really enjoyed it, the chemistry between the 3 leads was great and I agree about Giamatti, could watch him in anything.

CURL YOUR TOES!

Some brilliant lines. And insults :grinning:

“Hardy, I have known you since you were a boy, so I think I have the requisite experience and insight to aver that you are and always have been penis cancer in human form.”

Brilliant isn’t it? We’re going to the cinema to see it in a week or so.

Loved this film. Think I’ll need to have a festive re-watch.

It’s a beautiful film for sure. I know it was set in the 70s, but it actually felt I was watching a classic older movie.

Beautifully shot, great writing and 3 actors on top form. Da’Vine Joy Randolph was superb.

Has anyone watched Tim Robinson’s The Chair Company? The first episode was so good I forced my wife to watch it the next day and ended up watching the whole thing again with her.

Wasn’t convinced by the direction it was going in the next episode, but that first one is worth it as stand alone thing.

Nae Pasaran is back on iPlayer. Excellent story and doc.

Boy was that grim viewing. My lasting impression is of a cast of people who aspired to fame and wealth whose lives were exploited thoroughly by a narcissistic vampire. A pretty damning testament of the entertainment industry and our society’s measurement of value and worth and what people will give up to attain them.

Pluribus - 3 episodes in and I’m struggling a bit. Is it worth sticking with? Just seems to be recurring situations of her looking incredulous/pissed off while something abnormal is happening

Really want to like it, I’m a big fan of Rhea Seehorn and Vince Gilligan

I’d say so, it’s a slow burn but does get going albeit slowly :upside_down_face:

Looking forward to Friday.

Me too. Did feel a bit slow but am enjoying the gradual developments. Just living in hope that they dont do a severance and finish with a massive cliffhanger at the end of the season.

If you struggled through mid-season/series Breaking Bad and mid-season/series Better Call Saul then boy does Vince Gilligan have yet another programme for you to struggle through! :joy:
