I do watch nonsense myself from time to time, but for some perverse reason I prefer it to be nonsense that's not actually aimed at me. It's like I prefer to have random rather than targeted advertising I guess!

:laugh: I guess so! Nicely put. Never thought of it like that, but yeah, I would prefer to watch one episode of Friends on repeat for six hours than have to sit through an ep of The Big Bang Theory just once!

Finished 'The Queens Gambit' last week, it had its moments but the last episode was a bit shite and by the numbers. Her solo extended piss up in her gaff was pretty entertaining, but her simultaneously getting fucked up on four or five bottles of wine and cleaning up the student gaff...ah c'mon now lads, ye'r messin' with that now.

Just finished season 2 of The Mandalorian, great stuff. Nice set-up in the post-credits sting, too.

Aye. A fantastic season of tv that was.

Agreed. Great show.

After the horror of the recent movies, all I can say is come back Disney all is forgiven. Loved every second of the Mandalorian. A perfect balance of fairy tale and action movie. None of your virtue signalling vomit and just great old fashioned story telling combined with amazing visual. In a year of nothing but bad news stories, Baby Yoda might just be the antidote that we all need. What a character. Pure marketing genius.

El Cid on Amazon. Just a short 5 episode first series about the Spanish legend (in an almost literal sense). Worth a watch, even though the casting had me shaking my head initially.

Couldn't be any worse than Charlton Heston!

The next Star Wars series to come is a Mandalorian spin-off (The Book Of [that character who turned up in season 2 who we won't name in case anyone is a few episodes behind]), according to Favreau, then season 3 after. They held the announcement back so as not to spoil S2, which was nice.

Mandalorian $$$$ SPOILER!!!!!! $$$%%%%%



That last scene with Skywalker coming in tearing the arse out of everyone with his jedi mind tricks was absolutely top class. Better than literally all 3of the recent movies put together. Tone, visuals, storyline..everything perfect. Can't wait for season 3.



Ack, start a thread if spoilers to be divulged pls - if it's as good as everyone says, I'm sure it deserves one. I haven't even begun yet.

Same as Chris said. Start your own thread and you should really delete that reveal. And yes it was fucking awesome.

Saw the first episode of the korean horror, Sweet Home. Wasn't overly impressed, guess it sparked my interest because it's the name of a game and movie that started resident evil .

Was gonna give another episode a try last night but then I saw transformers earth rise was on so watched 2 episodes of that.

Also cobra kai is out tomorrow I think.
