Mutt Daeng Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) I've just finished watching The Typist(Die Protokollantin). It's a German crime drama. One season with five episodes. IMDB gives it a rating of 7.2. Well worth a watch IMHO. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6879486/ Edited July 23, 2021 by Mutt Daeng 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could only find it on YIFY, and it was well worth the watch. Just watched this on fmovies, loved it, comedy horror set in Ireland, Shaun of the Dead type humour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was embarrassing to watch by even by myself, lucky the wife was busy with something else and not paying attention. I had to turn the sound right down, and just work with the subs so the kids would not pick up with all the F****** and Mother***** in every scene. Totally unnecessary, made a bad movie even worse. ???????????? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy did I underestimate them !! 25 studio albums , almost as many labels and a large number of band members !! Moving from the US to the U.K. various times at the drop of a hat and gaining a large fan base in the U.K., France and Germany ( despite Ron’s hitleresque moustache ) kept them busy for many years. They weren’t afraid to take risks and their decision to recreate their first 21 albums with 21 shows ( over 21 nights) in London in 2008 culminating with the new, previously unheard ,album played live in its entirety on the 21st night/show !! How tiring must that have been not only for the brothers but new band members who had to learn the entire back catalogue !! Now in their mid 70’s and still going strong, new tour planned for next year. While the documentary is very self congratulatory, even fired band members were singing their praises, it is a worthwhile watch just to see what makes the brothers tick and how they refuse to give up even after some flops , “art for art’s sake” seems to be their motto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thaibeachlovers Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 On 7/21/2021 at 3:34 AM, xylophone said: Got onto the BBC iPlayer last night and watched a 60s movie called, "Scott of the Antarctic" and I must've seen it all those years ago, but it was worth another look, with John Mills, Kenneth More and others in it. At school we all learnt that Capt Scott was a hero (along with his team) and we never learned anything about Amundsen, sad to say. They were brave men, with an ill-conceived expedition and the decision to take motorised sleighs and ponies along was a major part of their downfall, whereas the Norwegians had said that the reason they take dogs is because they are trustworthy, hardy, and could provide food if necessary. The scenes of bitter cold took me back to my time in the North Sea, offshore Norway, when the temperature dropped so low that the sea spray froze on the side of the rig I was on, and if you grabbed hold of a safety railing without thinking, you froze to it momentarily. Nowhere near as cold as the Antarctic of course, but it was bitter. Contrast this to the time I spent in the Sahara desert where the temperature regularly got to the mid 40° C, and 58° C was recorded in another part of the Sahara, so going from one extreme to the other. I spent a year in Antarctica, so I experienced the same conditions that Scott and his men did. I visited his hut at Cape Evans several times, and was amazed that anyone would live like that for such a long time. As for Scott, the saying Lions led by Donkeys is somewhat appropriate IMO. He became so famous as the heroic figure we were brought up with because of the propaganda by the British, but IMO he was responsible for the demise of the polar party by adding another man at the last minute, which meant they didn't have enough food, for a start. That wasn't his only error, but to detail them all would make this post way too long. If interested read the books that detail the errors he made. Amundsen was a man that actually knew what he was doing. Scott's stupid decision to use ponies is laid bare when reading about Amundsen's journey. The machines were useless almost from the start. Scott's British competitor, Shackleton, used dogs, but his ship sinking prevented a successful crossing. I visited his hut as well, not too far from Scott's. Must have been pretty dire living so long in it as well. Regardless, the view from both, over the sea ice to the Trans Antarctic mountains is incredible. I was lucky enough to be in Antarctica while dogs were still used, and the Malamutes they used ( not those toy Siberian husky's ) were amazing beasts. They lived outside all year, even when the temperature was well below -30. I could go on for hours about it, but obviously that's not possible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 The Murders at White House Farm A true story of an event in Essex in 1985 which many will remember as it shocked the nation at the time. Stephen Graham stars as DCI Taff Jones in charge of the case and apparently in a big rush to close it, Mark Addy stars as DC Stan Jones who has his doubts that it is such a clear cut case. A great 6 part drama showing both the good and the bad side of British police detective work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooBigToFit Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I recently watched Patton from 1970. It's about the general and WW2. One scene shows a place in Palermo, Italy and I wonder if anyone knows what it is. I looked on Google but couldn't match it up. It's supposed to be Palermo, Sicily.

TimBKK Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) This one kept my attention from beginning to end and I thought Riley Keough, who plays the white girl, was excellent. She is also the granddaughter of Elvis, if you can believe that. Variety wrote: ”A star filmmaker is born. Directing a movie based on a true tweetstorm, Janicza Bravo works with the virtuoso danger and excitement we associate with vintage Scorsese or the Paul Thomas Anderson of “Boogie Nights.” At the center of this startling ride of a drama is Zola (Taylour Paige), who works part-time in the sex industry, and who agrees to accompany Stefani (Riley Keough) down to Florida to work in a strip club for a couple of nights. But as soon as Zola climbs into the van and meets the man (Colman Domingo) running the show, who acts a lot like Stefani’s pimp, all bets are off. Keough’s outrageous performance as a treacherous dim bulb whose entire personality is a kind of hip-hip minstrel show cues us to the film’s theme: that social-media fakery and financial desperation have combined to turn our entire culture into a walking mirage. It’s Paige’s Zola, the eye of sanity at the center of a storm of sleaze, who turns her artifice into sly survival.” https://variety.com/lists/best-top-movies-2021-so-far-cruella-concrete-cowboy-zola/zola-2/ Edited July 25, 2021 by TimBKK Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of movies set in one country, but are made in several, if one watches the credits to the end. Anyway, the real thing may not even exist or have changed too much, and the one they used was the nearest to reality they could find. What does annoy me is when they use inappropriate actors because of PC. In the Mary Queen of Scots film, Adrian Lester, a black man, played Lord Randolph, an English ambassador for Elizabeth. I'm pretty sure that Lord Randolph was white. How's that for rewriting history? Edited July 25, 2021 by thaibeachlovers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
