thaibreakfast Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I highly recommend the 1989 version of The Woman in Black. (Not the Daniel Radcliffe version) The most disturbing ghost story I have ever seen. It's available on TPB. Here's a link to an article about it: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/aug/07/the-woman-in-black-britain-horror-film-herbert-wise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceKadet Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I recently watched Cursed series, and at the end of it really wanted to puke. Perfect example of how not to do Arthurian lore... Also, perfect example of woke.... The only character I liked was Merlin, and that's probably because Gustaf Skarsgård did such a good role in Vikings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very clever, very funny spoof of "Vikings". Although when I watched the first 2 seasons, I wasn't even aware that "Vikings" existed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritManToo Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Remake of 'the night stalker' just dropped, the entire season. Pretty good first episode, and they painted the original Kolchek into the newsroom. And his hat ............ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not watch Norsemen, but being Scandinavian production must be good, it's being ordered as we speak. Thanks for the tip! At least we haven't seen any black Vikings yet!...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It holds up pretty well for what it tries to do. I'd always remembered the "dancing amid the plague" scene. Decent pandemic movie, along with 12 Monkeys. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079641/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemises Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 “Unhinged” 2020 - Russell Crowe. Showing in Thai cinemas as from yesterday. The “joys” of Western road rage! Great movie. Never a dull moment. We all loved it. ✅ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Tried to watch the movie "Tesla" last night and having served an electrical apprenticeship I thought I would be interested in it, but stopped watching it halfway through because it was a boring, patchy movie which IMO was poorly made!! A better movie on the subject, for me anyway, was "The Current War" starring Benedict Cumberbatch and that is worth a watch. Also watched, "An Inspector Calls" with David Thewlis and found it intriguing (esp the ending). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also a series called "Our Ex Wife" with Robert Webb, but I think they only ever made the pilot which was a shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 " The Great " TV serie, different approach of the life of Catherine, the empress of Russia. Funny, scabrous dialogues. Good acting from Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult. With the now necessary sex, nude scenes, and some gore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold one invention to Westinghouse and that was it, actually the 3 phase ac motor was invented 2 years before by an Italian, Tesla was just good at patenting work. His next big one the Tesla coil was just a major inprovemnet on something Hertz invented and his nonsense wi fi electricity was never going to work. Nobody stole his ideas, nobody stopped him doing anything and he never invented a death ray, x rays, sonar, time machine or any of the other nonsense people like to claim he did. Current wars is a much more balanced view of the ac/dc competition as Tesla rightly plays a minor role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
