Holden McGroin 6585 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Im upto ep 10 of Normal People. Would have quite happily turned it in after 6 but the mrs wants to persevere. It could be condensed into about 6-8 epsidoes. The sex scenes are far too frequent, long and boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sex scenes are far too frequent, long and boring. totally agree about the sex scenes. the wife thought they were erotic but i agree with you - they were dull, gratuitous and overly long. the wife said i'm desensitised through years of watching porn, but honestly felt they were just boring. faster editing could have helped in this case. fair play, they were going for realism, but why did they have to be so long? the book didn't go into anywhere near as much detail. it was clear they were crazy for each other without lengthy descriptions of what they got up to in bed. didn't feel like the sex took up 30-40% of the pages of the novel, as it seemed to do in the tv show.

Kid Dynamite 7027 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Are we talking about the early sex scenes or the ones where she wanted to be smacked about and degraded because of her daddy issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21624 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Anybody watched any of the Eddy on Netflix? Just seen the first one and enjoyed it but I'm a lazy twat and don't know if I can be bothered watching it all. Finding it wierd how it cuts from French to English and back again so much. Acting has been top notch though and as i get more middle aged and middle class I'm getting more into jazz, so will keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21923 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Just finished. Last Dance. Loved it. Awesome soundtrack too. Looking for the next box set. Anyone seen White Lines on Netflix? Observer was saying it was good but watched half the first episode and it hasn’t grabbed me yet Edited May 25, 2020 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20140 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 That normal people I got to 5 and gave up fuck me. Boring as shite. Saw far too much cock and not enough muff too. @Monkeys Fisthave you seen climbing blind? A partially (well pretty much blind now) kid does old man of Hoy. Amazing.

Renton 21624 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I didn't get that from it, unless you count jazz as pretentious. Still not watched the second episode though and might no get round to it, fucking subtitles. I was hoping the English Game might be about the origins of football in the style of a period drama. As it's gone on, it's more like a period drama with football as an after thought. Another one I can't be arsed with now. Everything is shit currently, only going too get worse when lockdown has removed all new dramas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33202 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 A pretty depressing watch in a way but still recommended: 'The coming war on china.' it's a 2 hours long documentary film by John Pilger and echoes the misgivings I have with the USA and military aggression particularly in the south China sea region. Also the Marshall Islands disgrace and experimentation on the islanders is documented as well. It's on Amazon prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1245 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Finally started watching Ozark and really liked the first couple of episodes. Just baffled that Peter Mullan's name has come up in the titles of both and I can't work out who he is in it. Watched Defending Jacob recently and that's canny. Captain America playing an ADA who's son is charged with the murder of classmate. JK Simmons is in it too which is a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
