Is that a new movie or the one released a few years ago?

Think they're talking about this one (2017).

The North Water is a tough  tale of whalers in the last century when men were men and whales were scared. Great cast, story, action and locations

Any theories about who the "Brian" character is based on?  I have 2.

I have 2 also. Peter Green or Mick Jones.

 

Back in the 80's some mates were telling me about Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) was spotted on a bus in London constantly ringing the bell because he'd become a fruit loop (nutter). I thought at the time it was maybe just a bad trip he'd had. But I just checked on Wiki and Greenie did actually get diagnosed as a schizophrenic and spent time in 'hospitals'.

Hey, we overlapped!  I think it's Peter Green or Sid Barret (Pink Floyd, I think it was originally his band).  The story I heard, from a US promoter, was that Green fell in with some cult and they turned him into a vegetable.  Said promoter (a gruff, aggressive sort) wanted to "talk" to him (meaning try to twist his arm into making a comeback), and when he tracked him down he found him sweeping the floor at the ashram -- not too different from the scene in "Still Crazy."

I didn't know Mick Jones flipped.  I saw a documentary recently and I got the impression it was Strummer that was going over the edge, thanks to that manager they had.

There was a US guy named Roy Buchanan, another outstanding guitar player who flipped, I think he was killed by some redneck cop down in Dixie.  Both he and Green wrote songs about visions and voices of the demons, The Green Manalishi is not a poetic reference.

US Navy Seal platoon chief  Eddie Gallagher is accused by his own men of being a serial killer, hiding behind his uniform, during the 'partner' campaign to oust ISIS from Iraq.  President Trump interferes in the case leading to the accused going free.

 

Quite an interesting watch.

 

 

 

I have a question for the very helpful folk here on this thread, who have helped quite a few times in the past, and I'm looking for help again!!

 

It's a doco about a survey/expedition in Antarctica, where they drill through the ice using some sort of heat/steam generator...........that's all I know about it because I watch the BBC World News and in between the breaks in the news there is often a clip which looks like it is promoting this documentary regarding the Antarctica, and includes a BBC reporter or scientist. and so on.

 

The commentator/scientist on this clip is shown in front of an aeroplane which has landed on the ice, and he also comments on the fact that he didn't expect to be spending five weeks camping on the ice! But can I find it anywhere, no chance, and despite a few similar documentary type things, I just have not found this one, so I'm reaching out to those folk here to see if they can help.

 

I have looked on the BBC World News website but I can't locate it – – any suggestions please folks?

 

I can tell you that it's not part of the/a David Attenborough series, and I think it was made just recently.

I'm halfway through Ice Cold Murders: Rocco Schiavone season 1 (of 4). It's an Italian crime drama series set in the Alpine town of Aosta. Seems pretty good so far. Well worth a look IMHO.

Thank you !

I'm just coming to the end of Season 1 of Baron Noir. It's a French political drama, set in Paris & Dunkirk. Not my usual cup of tea, but it's OK so far.

Many thanks for taking the time to look for me, IB2, but this isn't the one, however I will have a look at it later on; much appreciated.

A new release from MCU, "Eternals", just hit the public trackers. Get it if you into that.... Available from your usual sources.

Excellent Brazilian film. 

Pedro Fasanaro looks like Michael Cera, yeah?

If using Windows the only all-around capture software I know of is Internet Download Manager.  It would be nice to have one that runs on native Linux.

I use FireDM on linux. Works fine for me.

Looks good.

 

 

I've just started watching Braquo Season 1 (of 4). Its a French crime drama centred round the lives of members of a special police unit. Very good so far. Definitely worth a look IMHO.

The seasons are on the bay and kickass, but poorly seeded. 

In the theaters the newest Spiderman.  It took half of the movie and one major character death to wash the stench of Disney off of the film.  After that it excelled. Top notch actors in the movie but Willem Dafoe stole the show imo.

 

At home we just finished The Witcher and were sad to reach the end.  Now we're into the third season of Dark which is one of the best sci-fi efforts I've ever seen.
