giddyup Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Not sure if I was just in the wrong mood, but the last episode of "Curb your Enthusiasm" was a total fizzer. The scene of the car accident was totally boring and went on far too long. Oh well, they can't all be winners I suppose, or is the show running out of steam?

Episode 9 was a bit ordinary but you usually don't have every episode being excellent. The show has raised the bar so high. It's still great IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JHolmesJr Posted March 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) My Brilliant Friend has returned for season 2. A great show continues. Also checking out The Plot Against America, tv series set in an america that is run on a different political system. Based on the book by Philip Roth. Another exciting development is a movie spinoff from Gomorra. After getting shot by Gennaro Savastano, Ciro Marzio's body topples over into the sea and he rises again as "The Immortal". (L'Immortale) Enjoyed this one. Edited March 17, 2020 by JHolmesJr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Watched "The Postcard killings" and thought it was good, with a couple twists which I didn't see coming. Also cannot understand why quite a few downloads have subtitles (not srt) in them which describe "door opens" or "background music" and so on. IMO very annoying, however if I play them through my computer using VLC I can disable them........but would rather not. Any ideas on how to get rid of them as nothing in the download states subs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Will27......There are quite few gems on that Chaos site.......& with Football/Boxing gone........wow what a void in my TV life....but can catch up with all the programs out there. At the moment I am looking at wartime crimes (6 different true stories) about crime during the war....first one Is the rise of Billy Hill who ran the underground during and after the war until the Kray twins & Jack spot moved in. Billy Hill started the smash and grab gangs & of course the wholesale printing of ration books-----murder was quite easy as over 1 million house were bombed into ruble, if someone needed to be moved on--just bash his head in and lay him amongst the debris. Another episode was the biggest jewel theft of all time.....When the US military takes over the German Kronberg Castle in 1945, a scandalous affair between a US Army Captain and Air Force Officer ensues, resulting in one of the most elaborate treasure heists of all time.....and 4 other stories this is 2 years old..... so easy to download on chaos , but maybe difficult to hunt out, I see that rarg still has it (must have been popular) but very few seeds now https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7108906/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 Looking at another Doco there called Lefties...... 70s--80s a collection of three snapshots of the failures Property is Theft "The story of Villa Road, a squatted street, during the heyday of squatting in the late 1970s, when all over the country people lived to gether in politicised communities. The film also documents London's most long-standing squatted community, St Agnes Place, a street close to Villa Road. They fought eviction and demolition for over 30 years, and were finally evicted by the council only recently, in December 2005. Angry Wimmin In the late 1970s in Leeds, a group of women called the Revolutionary Feminists splintered away from mainstream feminism. Unlike the socialists, who pictured a revolution where the ruling class and the working class would be on opposite sides, Revolutionary Feminists declared war on men. News on Sunday was a left-wing tabloid that launched to great fanfare in 1987 and went bankrupt just eight weeks later. It was one of the boldest business ventures ever attempted by the far left and it was a disaster. A group who met through a tiny left-wing faction called Big Flame were convinced it was possible to market a left-wing mass-circulation newspaper. They were led by ex-Ford worker Alan Hayling (now head of BBC Documentaries) under the editorial leadership of John Pilger https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0901609/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Up to date I am looking at Dev's it is suppose to be a Sci Fi, but its more of a murder mystery, its well acted and put together, up to episode 5 at the moment. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8134186/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Gypsy King 3 parts----even if your not into boxing this is a good watch IMO, haven't seen anything like this inside or outside the ring since Ali --getting a 9 at one point (8.2 now) for a sporting thing on IMDB is not usually heard of. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11766280/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 .

I never see them included in the download description, so cannot choose to download without them, but as I said if I play through my computer with its VLC media player app, then I can switch them off, so that's probably the way to go.

xylophone Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Watched "Judy and Punch" last night and still don't know how to describe it as it is very unusual in some respects and may not appeal to all. Set in what would appear to be "a century or two ago" and in Australia, it is nothing stunning, but as I said, an unusual watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
