Watched the penultimate episode of This Is Us on Sunday. ‘The Train’. 😱😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I dont think I have ever cried at any TV show as much in my entire life. Even sadder than Love Story, The Champ, Les Mis finale and the finale in Carousel when Billy’s ghost attends his daughters graduation to a rousing rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😭😭😭😭 Apologies for any spoilers for that 1956 film.

Aaah yar past the worst. The final episode is not as heart rending as that yin imo.

chaff Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Pistols on Disney, really enjoyed it, an insight into the late 70s. I was too young to remember it, but I do remember being scared of punks. Started Bosch, his daughter is still doing my head in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I was definitely scared of the punks that used to hang out on that little alcove on Union St / Union Terrace Gardens in Aberdeen as a nipper in the 70's. I bet if we could back in time and meet them now they'd be a right bunch of soft poser arseholes. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd only ever seen the golden globes monologue from 2020. Very refreshing to see a comedian not give a fuck again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very refreshing to see a comedian not give a fuck again. Thought it started off quite well and then tailed off towards the end. His other Netflix special, Humanity, is also really good and is old stand up show, Politics, is one of the best I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj mick Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 "Pistol" is actually a lot better then i thought it was going to be, Not sure how much is fact and how much Jones recalls during his bevvy days but it's good and a lot better than that sid n nancy pish, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auchinyell Sox Change Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 just finished season 6 of peaky blinders - almost a parody of it's former self pity as i really enjoyed most of the previous seasons ; not sure when it lost its way ?

I gave up around series 4. It was when they started relying on slow motion posturing and loud music to disguise the poor scripts. Really enjoyed it before then.

Lasted to about episode 6 but gave up, it was too much effort for the enjoyment I was getting from it. If there wasn’t so much choice out there I would maybe have stuck with it , but its like reading a book, if it doesn’t grab me in the first 3 or 4 chapters I dont stick around as there are so many others to choose from.

daviebee Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Off-topic but hardly worth starting a new thread... I noticed on Prime that you've got access to the whole James Bond collection. I decided to revisit a few of the old classic ones I haven't seen for years. Complete and utter tripe. Sexist garbage with pathetic ham acting and relying on scantily-clad actresses to cover for the fact there's little in the way of a plot. Except Live And Let Die of course - that'll always be the mutt's nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
