Just finished Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrel. Very good adaptation of the book, well worth a watch if you fancy a limited series.

Ryan

@john-folan Watched it to see what the hype was about, absolutely loved it.

Matt Wood

@john-folan Its on my list and really looking forward to watching it. Battle Royal was great, book is fantastic too.

John Folan

Please tell me some of you have watched Squid Game. Utter genius. Don’t watch it dubbed though. Original language and subtitles for the win.

Reminds me of Battle Royale.

Just got back from No Time To Die. I love James Bond, always have. This was great. So so different but great and so many questions for the future.

Such a good send off and that little French hottie

Yeah it was but so many questions now. Can't really say too much more for people who haven't seen it yet haha

Agreed. We will give it a couple of weeks. I bloody loved it though.

Bit different but at the new Andrew Lloyd Webber Cinderella production this afternoon. Really funny and some fantastic numbers. Worth a visit if you like the West End…..and I do.

Watched Chaos Walking last night on Netflix.

Really good idea for a film just felt a bit lacking something after watching it. Not bad though.

Latest thing I'm just finishing is Modern Love on prime. Been in bed sick all day and it was the perfect thing to binge 30 minute episodes all day.

It's basically like loads of mini Woody Allen movies mainly set in the ideal New York of all the movies.

Given what's happened to me in the last year I'm not quite sure why I remain an incourageable romantic but I do. This is super easy watching and for the most part puts a smile on your face in these pretty dark times.

I’ve watched a couple of these. Not really me but still quite entertaining.

Y is the Last Man is on Stars Play on Disney Plus. An interesting take on if all the men died out. It’s based on a graphic novel. I love a bit of post apocalypse stuff so this is right up my street. Star Play in general has some great stuff on it. Prefer it to Netflix at the moment.

@ryan mean . Just finished Star Wars Visions. Bit hit and miss as some were brilliant and a couple were ‘meh’. The Ninth Jedi being my standout episode. I’m watching What If which I have quite enjoyed. I’ve got the entire original comic run accumulating value. (Along a with several thousand others). It was always a favourite

@john-folan yes cannot wait for this! Although my dads miffed as his Disney plus sub will expire soon and last year I bought him it and now told him he needs to buy his own lol

Watched 2 things on Netflix tonight. Very different.

First, a comedy special hosted by Rob Lowe taking the p**s out of all Hollywood clichés. Decent light entertainment with lots of clips of the classics.

2nd thing is Disclosure. If you're not aware it's a documentary on how badly trans people have been portrayed in the media/entertainments over the years.

A real eye opener to a burning issue. So many things in the past you've just dismissed as funny or disgusting were clearly horrendous if you were a trans person going through hell anyway.

Ace Ventura
The Crying Game

Numerous other lower profile along with interviews, chat shows, bit parts as nothing but sex workers, discrimination for not looking trans enough.
