LiamOwl Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Finished the Reacher series last night. Think AndyBen and Reesh both recommended it. Thought it was good, maybe a little cheesy, but enjoyed the storyline. Will definitely be giving the books a go at some point. Off subject, went to post this earlier but got distracted and didn’t post. Just come back on looking at other threads, gone to create a new thread again and it was here waiting for me with a message saying it’s been restored. Nice feature that should hopefully stop folk losing posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're looking at watching 'Castle Rock' also on Starzplay, both these are Stephen King books as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamOwl Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 What changes were there from the book? I had a quick scan through Wikipedia last night and it seemed to say the plot was largely the same, or was it more casting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a big undertaking - 7 series and 4 films - series 1 is a bit rough, but it’s worth persisting. If you want Seven’s backstory too then that’s in Voyager (but that isn’t as good imo).

We're looking forward to watching the films at some point, we will probably hit 3 of the 4 films after S3. Finished Mr Mercedes last night, highly enjoyable & one I hope they leave it as it is.

LiamOwl Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 Watched Pieces of Her on Netflix, finished it over the weekend. Thought it was really good, but the casting really annoyed me, it’s one of those that goes back between now and 30 years ago and the actors they’d got to play the same people were nothing alike.

Some are a bit hit and miss, but I would definitely recommend them. I haven't particularly enjoyed any of the films, Tom Cruise was all wrong, quite enjoying the series though. Still not quite got the Reacher right though imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a season of SoA during the Hollywood writers strike that went weird, quite a few actors from The Shield played parts in it.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Not sure if its recent or not, but watched the Jimmy Saville doc on Netflix last night. We all know the story of course but was still fascinating but a damn difficult watch at times. The old adage of commiting crime in broad daylight is often the way not to be caught. Then reading articles about this Tory MP for Wakefield, professing his innocence still and others defending. At least they get convicted but even that case was 13 years ago.

We've watched since I last updated : Clarksons Farm S1 & S2 The Watcher Dahmer Alice In Boarderland (bloody brilliant) Shetland (last season) Vera (last season) Handmaids Tale The Gold Your Honor S2 1883 Currently in 1923, which has us gripped, very much looking forward to watching Yellowstone.

Tylluan Posted Thursday at 18:45 Share Posted Thursday at 18:45 Finished the Last Of Us and really enjoyed it. Blitzed all 3 series of Happy Valley and thought the final ending was crap.

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted Friday at 11:31 Share Posted Friday at 11:31 Finished Last of Us and loved it. Never played the game so had no preconceived thoughts on it. Was glad it was more the human side than another zombiefest. Just watching Crime that is off Britbox - Irvine Welsh drama - very gritty. Also watched 4 episodes of Town Called Malice. Great tunes and clobber and enjoying it even though the acting is not up to much although Martha Plimpton is excellent as Ma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
