[Dostoevsky]

Out on cinema in select viewing, looking forward to seeing it: @Dostoevsky @GordoDeCentral @Post Ironic @JuveJay

Seems interesting. But has weak rating so far.

Btw I was supposed to watch Confessions from 2010 tonight. Japanese one. You liked it? I assume you watched it lol

Noooooo not Ray Stevenson

One of the coolest actors I've ever seen and probably a really nice guy too. Way way wayyy too soon. Just few weeks ago he was at the Star Wars Celebration announcing his role in the Ashoka tv series.

What a fucking shit day .

Thirteenth!

Requiem in pacem Titus Pullo

 

[Stevie]

Noooooooooo

Only recently finished Rome. Remember him from Dexter.

That sucks.

 

[DAiDEViL]

Don't wanna sign up, but I do wanna see it.

 

[swag]

I get that he has a platform to address a real issue with low visibility.

But at the same time, I cringe at how he's being reduced to "Parkinson's boy" as his identity now.

6 months of Apple TV+ seems to be thrown around with everything over here, not the same there? I've not paid for it yet and probably won't after they're up.

 

[Osman]

Yeah I get 6 months from buying ps5. Then 6 months while I bought a phone lol So a year free getting products I would gotten either way.


Apple tv have really high quality productions btw. Just not that many, but what they do is usually consistently really good.

I've only just started actually watching it as I pay for a couple of others and share a couple too so it's like £18 p/m for 6 streaming apps, plus we have 4 apps for the terrestrial networks. I don't know how anyone finds time to watch this much TV.

Ted Lasso as my casual watch and also Silo, which I like a lot. What else would you recommend?

I liked Slow Horses

I actually use it the least of my streaming apps throughout the years, but would say must watch:

Severance, slow horses

Good watch:

echo 3, black bird, foundation (only seen season 1, but liked it)


Casual watch: Shantaram, ted lasso, the morning show.



Haven't seen Silo yet. Will try soon.



They also have plenty of small quality mini series or art house movies made in house.

Seen a really nice indie drama with Mahersala Ali, called swan song. Bit of sci fi idea but very human story. They like doing small movies like these.

 

[Stevie]

Sisu was a cool movie.

Hope they make more. Would love to see a prequel or sequel.

 

[radekas]

Jesus, this movie will blow up the universe. The Return of The King of science fiction.

 

[Stevie]

Not getting my hopes up after the first one. I at least expect this to be better but the first one did not live up to expectations.

 

[Osman]

Gotta love Ridley Scott for keeping the historical fiction genre alive once a decade.




Looks quite ambitious, as it should be with it being Napoleon. Joaquin is a brilliant actor, but hard time imagining him as Napoleon. Hope he dont play him too emo and stoic lol Napoleon was quite violative military genius.

Big Ridley Scott fan even though he’s been kinda hit or miss lately. Hope it’s as good as we expect it to be.

Too bad Kubrick never got to finish his Napoleon movie. That would have been one for the ages.

 

[DAiDEViL]

The Ridley Scott's Waterloo reviews gonna write themselves

 

[radekas]

Imagine trying to fit the story of Napoleons life career and wars in 2 and half hours.

 

[Enron]

it looks like it’s only covering his rise to power. Looks interesting tho

"Only"

Looking at the trailer it starts before the Consulate with Marrie Antonine getting chopped and it covers his rise to the Emperor and focuses on his relationship with Josephine. What we don't know is when it ends but we've seen lots of snow so.... And a scene where Josephine seems mad because he dumps her which would be 1810. I suspect it covers everything.
