Film and TV review.

Norpig wrote:Any other Netflix recommendations then?

Not really watched much on Netflix of late, apart from crime documentaries.

I can highly recommend False Flag (you'll find it on the Fox Channel in Sky Boxsets). It's mainly in Hebrew so you'll have to contend with subtitles.

And I have to say season 2 of Brassic on Sky was excellent, episode 2 was just magnificent. I haven't laughed so hard since KP sent me his dick-pic.

I’m just binge watching Ozark.  I’m enjoying that

I enjoyed the first season. How good is the second season?

Watched a few of the Bob Ross joy of painting shows now on BBC4 and find it strangely relaxing. I remember it being on years ago and wondered what had happened to him.

Love his hairstyle too as you can see in my avatar

He's huge in the ASMR community on youtube. Very relaxing. Always great to see him give his brush a good old beating.

He was very talented, especially doing it in just 30 minutes. Mrs Pig thinks i've gone mad watching him but it is very relaxing and interesting to see how he did such good paintings.

I love the Joy Of Painting, as you say it's very relaxing.

The voice is vital. Quite a few others have taken his legacy further. This young lady is deliberately, and provocatively funny.

I'd watch videos with her in all day 

That's a very sexy Rode mic.

This is better than Grayson Perry's Art Club  prog!!!

I was expecting her to sign her name under the painting and write " aged 5 " underneath it. Then her parents to put it on the fridge door for a short while until they can bin it.

Why do they want to bin the fridge door?

I am not being serious here. I was being facetious. It is a great video and well done to her. I actually watched it right through twice. I enjoyed watching it. Really, I enjoyed the video, and well done to her.
Dont take what I say too seriously as I cant be serious very much sometimes.

I believe that was Sluffy making a joke.
Surprised me too FWIW

Not sure if I've already mentioned it but I enjoyed the latest "dead body found lying across the exact border between two countries so investigators from both argue over who has jurisdiction and have to co-operate to find the killer" series. Following on from The Bridge (Denmark/Sweden) and The Tunnel (UK/France) we have Der Pass (Austria/Germany) and it didn't disappoint.

Also enjoyed State of Happiness  - not quite as dark, but very engaging for me as it is set in the early years of the discovery of oil and gas in the North Sea and how the rural town/village of Stavanger was turned into the centre of the industry - used to fly to Stavanger from Aberdeen in the late '70s to get the copter up to the Frigg field where I worked as a roustabout to pay off my student debt. Good storyline and decent acting.

Anyone else looked in on CH81? My old mum loves it.

Talking Pictures is wonderful. No violence or swearing. I do like black and white films, the older the better.

I usually watch Hawkeye on Sunday morning. Last week it followed a movie about giant eyeballs with tentacles, terrifying Austrian skiing slopes. Warren Mitchell played a German scientist with an odd accent.
This week it was a movie called Konga, about a chimp that grew into a giant gorilla. Not sure how that works.

That is Television at its best. I love how they big it up in the trailer. Simply superb.
