The special effects chap speaks at length at how everything 'digital' in the film is analogue, everything. How they did it is worth a manual on its own. They even used cotton wool...

A heads-up for The Jinx, season 2. Starts with the events of the day after the broadcast of the last episode of season 1, and even though we know in the main what's happened since, it has already unearthed some rather eye-opening goings-on. Can't binge it as it's released weekly but it does feel...

I finished RoboDoc over the weekend and absolutely Loved it. I'm glad I rewatched the film beforehand (it's actually better than I remember), for the tiny little details they dive deep into. interviews with the stop-motion guys, the armourer, the make up people, the actors who had 2 minutes (if...

They're 2nd. Why?

From Barney Ronay on Twitter, & I endorse this message - How can teams like Brighton realistically hope to beat or disrupt Manchester City when their entire game is basically a Guardiola tribute with less illustrious players? One reason City are so utterly dominant domestically is every young...

Just finished this too, and agree with everything you say. It took me a couple of episodes to get on board with the whole 60s/mannered/bored rich class way of conducting themselves, but once I did, was swept up indeed all the way through. There are frequent moments of high black comedy in some...

I've just grinned myself silly watching the first part of this, so so so entertaining - and proper 'behind the scenes' fascinating. I'm going to watch the film again before carrying on, there're so many little details they point out, I really should have them fresh in my mind. What a joy!

I chanced upon it today too (what a great goal by Gordon Smith by the way) and as the credits rolled, the music's composer - ? Jeff "WotW" Wayne. On a par with Hans Zimmer and Going for Gold!

For some reason, the 2003 shuttle disaster didn't impact me as much as it should have. Perhaps 9/11 had recently dulled our abilities to be as shocked by tragedy. I don't know. Still, this is superb and wow, moving. Not only does it reinforce what an astoundingly monumental achievement the...

Made me smile....

It's an invaluable time capsule, this thread. It's a temptation to think now, "well things weren't as bad as I remember", when yes, they were. Horrid.

I saw this tonight. Respectfully, it absolutely worked for me. Reminded me a bit, artistically, of Hunger - the visuals were great, the sound was - as someone has said - 'the other film'. I didn't really get on with his last one, Under the Skin, so I am pleased this one has lived up to...

For what it's worth, when I chanced upon the picture I think I thought "..." and clicked another news item. Then the same old voices shrieked blue murder, then Keir and now Rish! have piped up, and I feel as if I'm being forced to have an OPiNioN. But I don't. I bloody do about the price. But...

I got my first mobile in the late 90s I think, bought it from some long-deceased company over the (land) 'phone, and had to give them a 4 digit pin on completion to 'prove' it was me (security was quite something back then). I used to always use 1983. The sales bod said "oh that's funny, that's...

Well he's not going to Liverpool according to the BBC - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68368787 - and if this is all 'real', then Barcelona will probably pass too.

Rather than polls of the future, what about the voting just gone? In Michigan, the Felony Factory won with 68%. In South Carolina, he won with 60%. Looks pretty resounding. Except. 30% of republicans voted for someone else in Michigan., 40% in SC. Here, at least a third of 'his base' don't want...

I really liked S3, I expect you will too. Introduced me to Scoot McNairy who in turn led led me to Narcos. He's brilliant in everything I've seen him in. Also he's up there with 80s weather forecaster Flip Spiceland as having the Americanest name in telly.
