JHolmesJr Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Another gem of a tv series from Spud17's new stash. Die Protokollantin (The Typist) Solid crime drama about a woman who sits in on police interrogations and types up transcripts, while plotting her own personal agenda. 5 episodes with nice big embedded subs.

newatthis Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 S2 of Tin Star [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4607112/] is out. Top show and I enjoy Tim Roth. Loved the evil Archibald Cunningham in "Rob Roy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-A720F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app How is history being changed? William Cuffay was a black man who led protests against the government during Victoria's life.

I am sure you will be shocked to find out that the black lady in the posts above is actually Victoria's goddaughter. You're misinterpretating what's being discussed. It's all the pc nonsense that pervades the media, in an attempt to make everything 'correct & inclusive'. When facts are distorted, which we can all see they weren't in this case, then that's ok. It just boils my pish when facts ie gender/orientation/skin colour or whatever, are deliberately switched, to make 'everthing ok'. I expect in 50 years time, Boris Johnson will be portrayed as a Nigerian transexual, with Tourettes. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was instrumental in the establishment of the Metropolitan Tailor's Charter Association, you could call it a trade union of tailors, and became involved in the Chartist movement (a working class political movement seeking democratic rights for working class people) after he was sacked for participating in a tailor's strike. At least, according to Google. I wasn't there at the time.....Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Watched "Can you ever forgive me" the other night and thought it very average, and IMO that's being kind.......nothing to recommend it and as for Richard E Grant being nominated, well there must be a dearth of those around!

3 minus 2 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I presume you all know they are DRAMAS .. NOT history lessons nowhere does anyone EVER say they are 100% accurate nor should they ever be told to make them so as that would be ARTISTIC censorship i'm assuming you at least agree with the 1 st point and understand the second.. which makes your rants realised or not 100% about you NOT LIKING SEEING BLACK MEN on tv.. you can say but i like !!! In that role. and thats about yout level of accepting black people as equal its plainly obvious you dont... and i'm sure your all gonna say 'oh but i do' well sori but when i see 'it makes my blood boil' meant in anger in reference to a black person appearing in a tv drama.. this aint bout actin or anythin .. this is nasty biggoted and racial biased , one thing coming out with ohh loook at that 'n.....r we all know and accept thats wrong nasty call it what u will but . this is even worse because its blatently obvious its there but agueing it aint .. well is truly shocking ..

The last two movies of his I watched, I liked: "The Old Man with The Gun" and "All is Lost" (particularly liked that as so realistic). Besides that, he has a history of making and starring in good movies........."Jeremiah Johnson" being one of his classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
