Dept Q - Netfilx - Eps 5&6 - getting a bit weary with this now, reckon they could have cut this back to 6 eps in total. Script and the main character grating. Will stick it but bog average. 6/10

LOTR - Fellowship of the Ring Extended - Prime
Umpteenth watch and still as brilliant as ever, fantastic Sunday night telly 10/10

Cricket - 10/10 one of the best series ever

A complete unknown. Had been a bit hesitant to see it but thought it was really good. Thought Chalamet was excellent especially as a 65 Dylan. Supporting cast all very good too.

Watched Dunkirk - Seen it before, she hadn't and I wanted to give it another whirl. Even better than the first time. Fuk me, its just a drving force of a film from start to end. 8.87/10

Poker Face - Sky - This is a tremendous series, Natasha Lyonne writes and stars. If you want some clever (ish) but nice stuff to watch its well worth it. Second series, near the end - 8.2/10

Rocky 4 - 9.2/10

House of Lies - on Paramount - show from 10 or so years ago. About some business pricks. 3 series in, its slick sharp and has boobs and drugs but is about "Business" so has a lot of that yuppie stuff. Its daft enough to just enjoy though - 7/10

London Orbital - ace filum from Iain Sinclair & Chris petit from about 25 years ago

Kneecap (the filum) - ace! sort of the commitments meets trainspotting with a bit of lock stock thrown in there. All good fun and some laugh out loud moments. loads really. Can't not like them.

It’s top quality stuff this!

Houdini & Doyle - crime caper from a few years back. Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini team up to assist plod in early 1900’s London. A daft though decent idea but it just doesn’t work as well as it could have done. Acting is decent but the writing is lacking and overall it’s a bit meh so no surprise it was only granted one series. Largely filmed in Liverpool so at least you can pass the time scenery spotting. 5.9/10
ITVX

Taskmaster episodes 6-10. Didn’t really enjoy the first few episodes of this but the thankfully the second half of the series was much better. Episodes 7, 8 and 9 in particular raised a few laughs and the whole ‘sixth-form drama club’ vibe had been toned down. Stevie Martin was very nice and likeable too. Good to see that she’s part of the cast for the new upcoming Mitchell & Webb sketch show on C4. Will be watching that with interest. The fat woman at the end was hugely annoying though innit. 7.3/10

Anora on DVD- loved it. She is a prostitute who marries a Russian oligarch’s son. Warning- contains some sex. Well plotted and some laugh out loud moments - not sure if they were meant to be funny.
Lucky number Slevin - recorded of tv.
Unnecessarily complicated. Admittedly I watched it drunk split over two consecutive weekends, but it’s a no from me.

The Assassin - Prime. Started quite well for about one and a bit episodes, but fook me, it tailed off badly, and looked as if even the actors had started getting bored with the whole thing, phoning it in. I'm not a bad language prude by any stretch, and love a good swear, but you just don't speak like that with your parents surely? Fitting that the last line was 'fucking shit tons'. Special mention to the dreadful acting of the dude that played the autistic doctor in The Good Doctor (so many posh foppish wannabe millennial Hugh Grants about these days), and also Jim Robinson out of Neighbours' son, who managed an overacting masterclass. 3/10.

Detective Suprenant - All4 (Walter Presents). French/Canadian copper goes back to his old Nova Scotia island to get away from his past, where he thinks he was responsible for a death of a colleague. Choc full of cliches, a very bleak island full of six-fingered oddballs who love waving a gun or a rifle around. Seen it all before in many different iterations of the same thing. 5/10.

Re: Weekend TV / Films

Karen Pirie - Crime who dunnit based up in St Andrews watched 1 episode and pretty good (season 2)

Daughter was ill on Sunday so watched a bunch of cartoon films

Leo - Based on a iguana pet in a US school, Bill Burr & Adam sandler did the voices give it a8/10

Trouble - Film about a dog that got lost but is part of rich heiress will 6/10

there were a couple of others but they were shite and ive forgot what they were called

Naked Gun - pictures
As daft as you expect from a Naked Gun fillum, Neeson is actually pretty good as Frank Drebbin jr.

Some laugh out loud bits some rolly eye moments 7/10

outed himself as a RS last week

“I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don’t have money, its nett spend, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career of watching Sky Sports. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let Isak go now that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you and I will shit in a cup and throw it at you.”

Had that feeling to Banj, obviously has the same accent he had in Rob Roy but he was funny.

I know he has a particular set of skills. But more finding kidnapper’s and criminal gangs as opposed to comic timing

CHEER UP, PLUMS

Re: Weekend TV / Films

I suspect that if he plays it straight like Leslie Nielsen did, then that’s where the funny lies.
He has a great cameo in one of the Ted movies, a disturbing exchange around purchase of a box of cereal, that really works.

Agree. Nielsen whilst playing it straight also always had the edge by just looking funny. Sadly missed.

Re: Weekend TV / Films

I was watching one of the original Naked Gun films over the weekend and his performance is brilliant, as are George Kennedy’s and Ricardo Montalban’s. They aren’t trying to be funny at all, they have those deep voices that male actors had in 70s cop shows, and it just works, it really is genius. The Police Squad series did it even better.

Destination X (BBC) - Jesus what a stupid pile of crap 2/10

The Phoenician Scheme (Snide) - Sigh…. Yet another sludge of convolutedly boring plot involving an invented country and loads of randomly assorted characters that you don't give a monkeys about yet watch shuffle about in a lovingly created Anderson toy town. The design is as good as he has ever done and Del Toro is ace but FFS Wes, turn it down a a bit, simplify it a touch and lets have a bit of warmth again 5/10

Live Aid Documentary (iPlayer) - tails off in ep 3 with Live8 but as a child of the 80s I enjoyed this nostalgia fest. The political echoes show some stark differences between how migrant populations in a warzone where considered differently to how they are today - at least before the narrative has seemingly shifted in the last fortnight. Geldof actually comes across really well, accepting he is driving the story himself here, but throws new light on some of the vaguely unsettling white saviour nonsense he did showing up there every five minutes 7/10

Barry Lyndon (Cinema) - the 4k 50th anniversary reissue. Never seen this one before. Why? Probably one of the lesser considered lights of the Kubrick ouevre, possibly due to it’s length and subject matter in between Clockwork Orange and The Shining. Genuinely one of the best pieces of cinema I've ever seen - the cinematography and the lighting is unreal. Massive expansive panning shots like oil paintings. Ryan O'Neal surprisingly decent and the story is pretty entertaining despite the languid length 10/10

I watched the original superman film, it still stands up today. I reckon I watched it annually from a kid to my teenage years and then don’t think I’ve watched it properly in 30 years. It’s a cracking film. I’m not in to superman at all otherwise. Now TV.

I was out most of the weekend so that was it.
