I watched it last night as well and TBH I was a little disappointed and in some places it was "cringeworthy". I'm a big fan of the Marvel franchise and Chris Hemsworth, who usually gives a great performance as Thor but IMHO it went downhill after they wrote  3 major characters Odin, Loki & Heimdall (Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddlestone and Idris Elba - all quality actors) out.

 

You must not have watched the credits... Idris Elba was there as Heimdall in one of the two post-credits scenes.

I can't recall if Loki and Odin had fleeting parts or not, I'd have to watch it again.

Thor - Love and Thunder is now available (without hard coded Korean subs) in all formats including 4K at all usual sources.

 

I watched it with the missus last night... laughed all the way through... a very entertaining movie.

 

I also thought it was very funny, although the fan base was apparently up in arms.

If you're a fan of Korean dramas, Big Mouth is worth a watch. I downloaded from dramacool.cr

And the winners are...................Drum roll..........or Yawn.....

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Where can I find that please Vinci?

Following my decision to seek out and download a few older movies, last night I watched, "The Kingdom of Heaven" and although I could remember just a few parts of it, I thoroughly enjoyed it, so much so that I decided to do some research after watching it, and it was a surprise.

 

In the movie there was a king of Jerusalem, who was a leper, which I thought was made up for the movie, and there were other aspects of it which prompted me to do a bit more research after the movie finished, and I was very surprised at what I found – – for example, the Knights Templar, who I'd always thought of as being "the good guys" weren't anything like that and were catholic soldiers (best thing I could call them) who were very bloodthirsty.

 

Anyway still a very good watch for anybody willing to download it, which took me a long time because there were very few seeders!

New series of Murdoch M.... now in its 15 year........ IMDB 8.8   ...(they have got to be kidding) 

 

In the 1890s, William Murdoch uses radical forensic techniques for the time, including fingerprinting and trace evidence, to solve some of the city's most gruesome murders.   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1091909/

I watched this last week and thought it was good. Also on TGx.

I'm currently watching season 2 of The Capture on BBC iPlayer. Season 2 is even better than season 1 IMHO. Definitely worth a look. iPlayer has all episodes from seasons 1 & 2.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8201186/

Other than Youtube, does anyone know where I can stream or download 3D SBS / Side By Side videos.

 

Polarized glasses , not 1 red/1 green lens glasses, and the video has 2 identical images side by side (in actuality/when not looking thru the glasses. The video image is not colored red and green).).

I took a chance on six part series 42 Days of Darkness from Chile and have no regrets. The ambiguous ending was frustrating but strangely adds to the emotional impact. Still don't know who did it or why.

 

Watch the Spanish version. I always do but I just watched a dubbed trailer and masterful acting was butchered.

Really enjoyed this.

Definitely one of the better offerings to be released recently. 7/10 IMDB.

Available TG and probably elsewhere.

Edited September 13, 20223 yr by giddyup

I'm not sure if anyone else has given it a mention but season 2 of 'Industry' started recently.

Based around the world of finance, in London.

Not much rock 'n roll but plenty of sex and drugs.

I found it to be an entertaining watch.

It can be found on TPB.

Got bored halfway through first episode, seemed like a glorified soapie where nothing actually happens. Billions, it ain't.

Three Thousand Years of Longing

 

Haven't watched all of it yet, but what I've seen so far I've enjoyed. It's a fairy tale for adults basically.

 

Available most places.

Was sad to me that Only Murders in the Building did not win.  Comedy is very personal though, everyone laughs at different jokes and situations to a degree.

To me Curb Your Enthusiasm or Hacks are funnier than Ted Lasso as well.

Did not see House of the Dragon mentioned.  Think it is better entertainment than Lord of the RIngs, the Rings of Power 

 

Saw first episode of The Serpent Queen and liked it.  16th century

Watched last night, and not what you expect if you saw the trailer on IMDB.  

 

Nice having something different offered, even if 5 or 6/10 (my rating).  Enjoy both main actors, if not them, probably wouldn't have liked at all, or even gave it a pass.  Well done, but no shining moments.

 

Late chime in for new Thor ... one of worst movies I endured to the end, and wonder why I bothered.  Neither comedic, nor dramatic, so failed at both.  CGI is getting so boring now.  Surprised it's still 6.5 on IMDB.

Watched a couple of episodes of Kleo already, quite OK

 

First episode of the Serpent Queen is good and looks like it could be quite entertaining, don't get the 1080 version it is French with no subs, 720 is dubbed and has subs

 

Narco Saints is quite a good Korean drug story

 

By episode 4 the capture is starting to drag it out with over long unnecessary scenes but still quite good

 

We own this city  is shaping up to be a classic

Has anyone watched Abbott Elementary or The Dropout and mind giving me their opinion if either are worth downloading? I have watched most of nomination that interested me but seemed to have missed any reviews of these 2 series.

Can I get any encouragement to watch The Man in the high castle? I watched perhaps one episode maybe one and a half and I was bored to tears and thought it utterly stupid.

 

Obviously, some stories start off quite slowly and maybe even a bit disjointed. Second chance?

I didn't watch the series, but I did read the story.  It's not very long, it's more about the setting and situation (the Allies lost WWII, Japan and Germany have divvied up the US) than the character interplay, which means a lot gets lost in the dramatization.  Written in the 1950s.  The Japanese come off as the nice guys compared to that certain European country.  Well written, from the same author that wrote the story that became Blade Runner.
