Sometimes the gore was shocking, (it's equally bad if not worse in the books), and yes there were tits aots but, the story telling, some characters' development, the subversion of expectations were superb. Some of the complaints people had about the 'speed that people could travel' were daft the second you consider that it's a tv show and the audience doesn't like "3 weeks later" time jumps. It fell apart in the later seasons, you'll hear no argument from me there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One reason the earlier seasons worked is because they showed the difficulties of continental and inter-continental travel. It's was the main reason dragon tits couldn't fight for the throne earlier. In later series they just completely ignored it and had people teleporting about. Particularly that awful Euron Eddie Izzard cunt who only had sailing ships ffs. Anyway, this is all well rehearsed. Got was gash in the last 2 series which stops it being the all time great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31190 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Aye, one of the best ever episodes was when Gandalf got stuck in a toilet cubicle on the J6 services just off the Kings Road. Comedy gold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were supposed to be 2 more seasons but the producers cut it short (and threw together the finale) so they could work on a star wars show, the star wars show never happened/was canned. Cunts.

They tried to rescue it with a flurry at the end but alas it was too late. It's the 0.6 boobs that did it for me.

That was supposed to be his ending though so as far I'm concerned he can boil his fat head in the grease he sweats out his straining pores the big tramp. Is house of the dragon at least good? I watched series one and it was OK, but I've not bothered with the new series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the end points would have been the same, but how they got to those points would have been very different. There would have been (and maybe will be if he doesn't die first) a more gradual descent into madness for Dragon Tits, the defeat of the King Zombie would have been different, I'm sure. It's all moot anyway. End of the day, it was one of the last pieces of tv where episodes felt like an event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daftarse 13 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I just finished watching the series called Animal Kingdom. Dead good it was, not about Animals but about a family called the Codys who are all basically wrong uns. Ellen Barkin played the nutcase mother Janine Cody. Well worth a watch if you like stuff like Breaking Bad and Ozark etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21967 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Anybody watching the latest heap of shite from Disney on the star wars universe? The Acolyte. Well and truly jumped the shark with wookie jedi lords. Absolute garbage. Disney paid billions for this franchise and haven't produced a single minute of merit from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35565 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) There’s a Dionne Warwick doc on BBC2 atm. There was a bit where artists were talking about her, and Elton John said some of the stuff she did with Bacharach and David were perfect works of art. Like a Picasso.

I hate to be this bloke, but the original Star Wars was shite. You have rose tinted glasses because of the age you were when you saw it the first time. If you watch them objectively now, they are shite. I loved the Alien films when I was younger, I still like them as nostalgia but objectively, shite. All the add on Alien films have been mega bad, because the original premise was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue One would like a word. Best of the recent crop by a country mile. Solo being in second place. The rest aren’t too bad either, unless you’re some fanboy who pisses the bed over the wrong colour light sabre or whatever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend to agree “Make Way For Dionne Warwick” is sublime but alongside that, the only other full album from that period I have in my digital “collection” is “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again” It was a bit later but her vocals are stunning and it’s got a cover of “Something” that she does total justice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly kids who enjoyed them but are they now? I think there was potential to do something with this franchise but Disney completely fucked it. As for you my simian friend, no, you're wrong. I don't give a shit about canon. They are all incredibly unoriginal, badly written, characterised and acted. Rogue one was boring. Solo was fucking dreadful. The only series I enjoyed at all was the Kenobi one, but that whole story has no logical consistency at all. I only watch these because for some inexplicable reason Mrs Rents likes them. But intergalactic whales and wookie jedi? Just fuck off man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
