Having shown a keen interest in our black brothers, I have supplied a link to a book review for your appreciation.

 

"From musicians to princes, a new book by historian Miranda Kaufmann opens a window on the hitherto unknown part played by black people in 16th-century England"
 

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/29/tudor-english-black-not-slave-in-sight-miranda-kaufmann-history

 

widely discredited, as usual takes very few examples, and expands those to attempt to make out mass diversity. To quote the woman 'Kaufmann laments the scarcity of complete evidence:' So without evidence she just makes it up, exaggerates or lies. Some of the people she lists were not even black. These characters have always been known about.

I wonder when the word pedantic was first used ????

I wonder what Merriam comes up with for "defensive projection"?

I have enjoyed the 2 episodes released to date... shaping up to be a good series. 

[Jingthing]

If you're in the mood for a quirky indie film. You've probably seen stuff like thus before. The phrase nihilistic vision comes to mind. We're not talking Singing in the Rain with this one.

Spiderhead

 

Tried watching it last night--I thought quite woeful, I had seen Chris Hemsworth in "All the old Knives"--a good CIA type thriller IMO & he played a good role.

This one--"Is set in the near future, when convicts are offered the chance to volunteer as medical subjects in hopes of shortening their sentences"  it was bad---I try to see movies to the end even if I have to touch the fast forward button a few times... but just couldn't do it. His acting would have been OK but the script was--as say WOEFUL......

 

** 1 redeeming feature in it---the soundtrack , they played a lot of Supper Tramp 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The Martha Mitchell Effect--Doco

 

Watched this yesterday----good well put together....

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thy have brought out and dusted down   --Nightingales

 

30 years old and I see TPB is still running it---- , along the line of the Boys in some ways.

Black comedy --IMDB  8.2

 

Three disparate characters are nightwatchmen in an office block somewhere in Britain. Their night life is surreal to say the least. Anything can happen from a friendly werewolf, to an allegorical Mary who turns up pregnant at their door on Christmas Eve.

Redemption

RAR

 

DI Colette Cunningham's no nonsense approach to policing has earned her the respect of her Merseyside Police colleagues. She seems unflappable, until she gets a call from the Garda in Dublin after the body of a young woman is discovered.

 

 

[Will27]

Suspect

 

Should be dropping tonight or tomorrow.

 

Summary: Veteran detective Danny Frater is called to a hospital mortuary to identify a corpse only to find it is his estranged daughter. Traumatized by the news she took her own life, Frater sets out to discover the truth about her death.

Ozark Season 4 Part 2 came out. 
I've always have enjoyed the show as it's one of the more dark and quirky TV shows produced in the last couple of decades.  And Part 2 just started off as dark and quirky as it gets.  Six more episodes to the finale.  This should be fun.

I watched All the Old Knives last night. Didn't see Chris Hemsworth anywhere. Maybe you meant Chris Pine. You can tell the difference by the accent. 

 

All the Old Knives was a 6 at best.

McDonald & Dodds---Season 3 ...4 episodes 1 each week. today  ChaosTV

 

Some think its the slowest crime series on TV--but seems to be popular, they have increased the episode numbers and lengthened each episode to 90 minutes. 

 

No Trailer for this season

Sunday night movie was Hustle with Adam Sandler, it was OK, totally predictable, a little like Rocky with basketball. Worth a watch if you are with the wife or kids.

James Nesbitt seems to have been typecast into playing angry and bitter characters..

 

The last 2 or 3 times I've seen him, he constantly seems <deleted> off.

Whether he's a grieving father or a disgruntled copper.

 

Has been in some real <deleted> lately IMO.

I am currently watching the 2nd season of Made for Love. I really enjoyed Ray Romano's character in the first season. I would call it a dark comedy and only has a 6.9 rating on IMDB so may not be to everyone's taste but I find it funny.

Forensic Files II, series 3 has started.

Just starting on The Boys - a superheroes  series with a twist...Not my usual cup of tea but...

Anybody got any opinions?

Series 1 was OK but then the makers discovered how to film exploding heads & it sickened me.

[mikebell]

Best thing I've  seen this year is 'Tehran' S 1 & 2.  I love it because it has lots of English subtitles - an aid to my failing hearing!

Do not touch 'Last Seen Alive'!  I like Gerard Butler but he is wasted in this trite storiless missing wife movie.  How he was persuaded to act in it; how anyone thought this was worth spending millions on; are mysteries beyond our ken. 

[Mutt Daeng]

I've watched a few episodes of The Mayans season 4. Pretty good so far and worth a look IMHO.

I got it from TGx.

I've just finished binge watching seasons 1 & 2 of Tehran and I also thought it was very good.

[recom273]

Just watching The Outlaws - I think it’s still as good as the first, still plenty of Marchent’s dry humour. 
 

Did anyone see that there is a Korean Money Heist ?
