This also is completely amazing. But in a totally different way to Billy and Molly (above).

Thanks for the reminder. I put it in my list when it came out but ended up checking other stuff. I need to start watching this. I’ve heard good things.

It’s superb - a great cast, really gripping. Best I’ve seen for ages.

And Alan Partridge did really well in his first serious role.

Indeed. In real life Steve Coogan can be a total dick. But as an actor he’s gifted.
I saw him in the film where he played Stan Laurel:

Go check out Coogan as Saville, that was disturbing in so many ways, especially when you’re expecting him to say “tell me about the lady boys” at any moment

Yeah saw that. Was very strange.

Anyone watching Widow’s Bay? I’ve just binged it in less than a week, one of the best things I’ve seen this year.

Edit. Just scrolled up and seen you’ve already all talked about it!

Was looking for some classic 80s90s kids movies on netflix today and could hardly find any.

Settled on bill and teds which was alright but would have preferred gremlins or something.

Saw a clip from Ricky Gervais’ animated Alley Cats that launches tomorrow. looks shiiiite.

who’s going to be the poor sod to brave it first?

The netflix Raygun doc is alright.

I feel bad for the lady.

I think her and her husband are a couple of what HST would call god’s prototypes.

Somehow I’d never seen Band of Brothers and it just popped up on Prime so I watched it. It’s dead good but the sheer number of now very famous actors is almost distracting. It’s got more or less everyone in it.

Obi Wan banging on about coffee grinds in BHD?

Simon Pegg in BoB. A messenger IIRC?

The Pacific and Generation Kill were interesting too. The Ken Burns documentaries are excellent and very harrowing.

Apologies for dribbling on about war stuff.

Just rewatched it. So fucking funny and so fucking dark at the same time
