I watched Fantastic Fungi on Netflix today. Such endlessly fascinating entities.

Quote from: Black Shepherd Carnage on August 05, 2021, 02:10:57 AMWatched the Swedish version of Millenium, or The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, or whatever it's called tonight. Actually forgot when I started that the English language remake was Daniel Craig. Anyway, very entertaining and engaging way to spend two and a half hours. Thought Noomi Rapace was great in it.

The six part series is the version to go for: two 1½ hour parts per book, the movies are edited versions. Exceptional, and much better than the crap Hollywood remake.

Ah okay. So what I watched was, say, the first two eps cut from 3 hours down to 2 1/2, is that it? If that's the case, I'll switch to the series for the next four alright. Cheers man.

That's it, yeah. Either way a great watch, I saw the movie versions first and thoroughly enjoyed them too.

It's great. There's a few Joe Rogan podcasts with Paul Stamets as well if you're interested.

Yeah must give them a look.

Watched the first two parts of Fear Street yesterday, the 1994 and 1978. Was a nice mix of Friday the 13th, Goonies and Stranger things. Be looking forward to the 1666 part tonight.

Is that on Netflix?

Yeah all 3 parts. Put up in July.

Cool.  I might give it a look tomorrow if I get a chance.

Part 3 is definitely the poorest of them, first 2 are good craic though.

I rewatched Black Mass today. I enjoyed it more than I remember enjoying it the first time, but perhaps I did like it a lot then too and have forgotten. Great performance all round. This might be the last worthwhile thing Depp has been in since morphing into Jack Sparrow.

Never seen that actually. One to put on the list.

Edit: Interesting user review I stumbled upon in the adding of it to my list  :laugh:
QuoteEarly on in the film a bunch of gangsters are hanging out in a car and one of them starts to tell a story about how he heard porn stars in Los Angeles eat a bunch of celery right before they perform. He gets interrupted and never explains why they do this. I was more interested in hearing the end of that story than anything that happened over the next 100 minutes of movie.

Depp's performance is highly impressive. He plays a convincing psychopath.

Didn't make much of the first one either. Apparently the last one is quite good but dunno if I'm in a rush to find out.

Watched the third one last night. Thought was the weaker of the three with the second being the best.
Wasn't too sure of the 1666 setting with the old actors but luckily that was only for the first half then back to 1994.

I take it scutter means crap?
