One of my fave films, pretty unsung imo, Oldman & Penn are great, Oldman in full ‘chewing the scenery’ mode.
My first time seeing John C Reilly in anything. I had a VHS taped off the telly for years & watched it quite a few times, got a DVD copy a few years ago.

Really enjoying Industry. I didnt think I would but once you get passed some of the cliché stuff around working in the city, theres good tv drama there.

I agree - although I don’t understand a single thing about what they actually do for work.

Like minds. Also watched on Prime the other night. Strikes me how wild 90s NYC still looks.

It does doesn’t it? I haven’t been there since the 90’s but I imagine it’s all been gentrified as they talk about in the film.
It’s based on the Westies, an Irish American crew/outfit based in Hell’s Kitchen.

I love it. Think it’s the best thing on TV.
Don’t understand half of what they’re talking about but it’s got me thinking about how the country is run - not by the politicians!

Started watching season 1 after seeing the chatter on here. Loving it so far.
There’s an upcoming MGM tv show about this lot, imaginatively titled ‘The Westies’. Created by one of the blokes who made Narcos.

Watched The Housemaid to see what all the fuss is about. Its OK, a well crafted twisty turny thriller. Incredulous and far fetched in parts.

Yeah really enjoying it- Winter Olympics always seems to have a much better atmosphere for me than regular Olympics- even tho only watching on TV - loved the women’s big air coverage today

In Flight - UK drama about an air hostess who is forced into becoming a drug mule. It’s a bit silly and ham fisted in parts, but very watchable and Katherine Kelly gives a solid performance as the main character.

watched the Norwegian break the Olympic record in the speed skating 5km. Recovered well from a shaky start 
faves are the ski jumps. so soothing to watch. Often wonder how people practice in the warm months. Do they simulate slopes on dry land or replicate conditions in the Himalayas?

I stood at the top of a ski jump in summer. Absolutely terrifying! Always reminds me of the James Bond film where Roger Moore gets pushed down one. Kudos to anyone that does it for sport. Loved it yesterday.
