@John-Folan haha agree but I never think films live up to your own imagination. Funnily enough this is the character I play with! ![alt text]

@Martin I can get with that. Have to say we play a lot of board games rather than. I’ll post a photo of some of them later. Some obscure ones. Things have moved on from Monopoly lol

X-men are my absolute favourite. I have so many of the comics going back to the 1960’s. Loved the cartoons. Not a fan of the films at all. Too wolverine focused. Plus they always did Cyclops dirty and he is my favourite character.

@John-Folan in a bid to have less screen time, bit left field but I've been enjoying Marvel Champions the card game recently, not a massive superhero fan though my son is getting me more into it and I've always liked X-Men but even so the game is great fun for me. Very much a mathematical game too, all about weighing up the cards stats and which one to use so suits me down to the ground.

I’m ok with the new Superman. He looks like Henry and people didn’t like him at first.

Man of Steel is class though. Having a rewatch

If you really want to watch something laid back and different...under duress from Wife, I have to say I watched Magpie Murders on the iplayer. Actually found it pretty good, very relaxing and more like the old Sunday afternoon feel. But there is a lot worse things to watch.
Started The Twelve last night so let you know when its finished, different concept of series instead of the norm Murder Mystery on the TV.

@Karl-Pick I'll add this to my current 4am watching while almost crying trying to keep the baby asleep lol

@John-Folan I need to get on this! I have heard some great things.

John Folan

Far Cry 6 and Diablo 4 for the win! My wife hates the PS 5

Just discovered Yellowstone. Don’t remember who on here recommended it but thank you. It’s brilliant.

Yellowstone is still doing it for me. My dad would have loved this.

@Karl-Pick great film I agree!

Watched AIR this weekend on NETFLIX, thought it excellent!
Just adds a bit more to the full Michael Jordan story after watching Last Dance.
Also shows how bloody loaded the guy must be!!!

I am utterly addicted to the Clubbing Experience channel on Samsun TV Plus. Not sure the rest of the family is impressed but I pay the license fee oh and the 4:40 at Kempton paid for the tv so tough titties

I'd never heard of Colonel Parker or even realised he hadn't toured outside the states or Canada.

I would also highly recommend the soundtrack. Loads of the stuff you would expect and have probably forgotten as well as re-mixes, medleys, covers and at least one original song by Eminem. Austin Butler also gets in on the act which was unexpected.

@Keith-Driscoll I LOVED San Fran when I went there, one of the best cities I have been to for me!

I've been playing Watch Dogs 2 recently. It's a lot better than I expected, despite it being a few years old. It's also good to see a few of the places I visited when in San Francisco, on a visit from the UK.

Is it supposed to be good fun blowing up civilians?

John Folan

Jedi Survivor. What a game!!! What a story. Peak Star Wars. Just amazing….

If they made a film of that they would make billions.

Who knew gingers were so cool

Last 2 films I watched:

Elvis - Baz Luhrman has done it again. Cracking film. Learned stuff I didn't know about him and promptly added soundtrack to Spotify.

Films like this always inspire me to look up questions I may have also so I learn even more.

Brian and Charles Starring the weird beardy guy from afterlife - David Earl.

Lonely outsider who makes crap inventions that don't work, builds a robot. Hilarious and heartwarming in equal measure!

Enjoyed Elvis, very educational, did not realise the real story of behind the scenes.

Richard Latimer

Forgot that I watched Nope too. Slow burner but after an hour it turns crazy!
