Bah, no prog - which means Tuesday at the earliest  :(

Same here.
Damn you, Jesus!  ;)

Breaking Bad is probably my favourite show of all time.
Absolutely adore it.
Got the first season of Better Call Saul on blu but only watched the first episode so far.

Watching Peep Show on Netflix.
Had forgotten just how funny it is.

I really enjoyed the last couple of minutes of Super but it was a pretty low rent Kick Ass for the most part.

Whilst I really like Lost Highway I think Mulholland Drive is pure genius.
I would place Inland Empire as a better film than Lost Highway too.

I'd never heard of Super but due to the love on this forum for it I checked out the trailer.
Looked good.
Now watching it on Netflix.
Trailer has all the good parts.  :|

Had a movie bonanza this weekend:

Get Out - Is this the first black horror movie?


Not by a long chalk. I can think of Blacula (and it's sequel), Tales From The Hood, JD's Revenge, Blackenstein, Abby, and Ganja and Hess just off the top of my head.

1 to 29 or 35 (all stories end in prog 35.... might be tempted to go there - whats the maximum number?)


Hollingworth and Moss recommend no thicker than 2 inches.

Finally got around to watching Inland Empire from David Lynch (only 11 years late).
Wow! Utterly brilliant.
I thought Muholland Drive was good (and it is) but Inland Empire turns it all the way up to 11.
I loved it, although mentally, and curiously physically, draining.
10/10

Out of curiosity (and with spoiler tags!) what was the opening scene plot hole? I didn't pick up on anything there but I don't often spot such things.



[spoiler]It did not match up with the rest of the film at all. It seemed like the black guy was killed. Why kill him. It set the film up to be about racists when it's actually quite the opposite. It's been made clear that the victims of the 'body swaps' are brought to the house by Rose and then auctioned off but the abducting a random black guy off the street? I appreciate that he could have made his own way and was following directions but to me it seemed like a bit of mis direction so that you don't try and guess the rest of the movie straight out of the gate. I thought, on reflection, that there were quite a few plot holes but no enough to stop me enjoying it.[/spoiler]

I'm still awaiting delivery of my first issues   :-(   wonder when ( or if ) they will arrive.

I have a feeling they won't at this point, honestly.

Yep, me too.
Subbed but not expecting anything.
Just hoping that my willingness to sub will be enough, along with everyone else, to go ahead.

Very good despite one or two plot holes (the opening scene being one).
Enjoyed it a lot 8/10

I only watched the first episode of 'Fear The Walking Dead' and I wasn't impressed although I realise the first episode of any series is not an indication of how good or bad it will be.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first series of FTWD, but I thought the first episode was one of the single worst things I'd ever seen on a TV screen - dull, uninvolving, really unlikeable/uninteresting characters, just... Ugh. It's amazing how rapidly it improves from there.

Ah, good to hear.
Yeah, I was deeply unimpressed with the first episode and with so much good stuff to watch I really hate wasting my time on crap.
I look forward to watching it all this time.

MATTOFTHESPURS I loved series 2 of the walking dead. Little house on the prairie meets dawn of the dead vibe to it. Seriously though I'm finding season 7 heavy going so far. Any episode with Negan is rather boring I find.Really hope the next series picks up as I'm actually enjoying Fear the Walking Dead more nowadays.

I've just bought seasons 1 and 2 of FTWD of blu ray and we will watch them after TWD.
Mid way through season 3 of TWD at the moment (2nd go through for me, first for the missus) and we are both enjoying it.
