While staying in to avoid pollen last weekend, I binge-watched season 1 of The Expanse and came away suitably impressed.

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

Season 2 is even better. I was sceptical after season 1, but gave it a fair crack & it gets seriously goodsultan2075 wrote:While staying in to avoid pollen last weekend, I binge-watched season 1 of The Expanse and came away suitably impressed.

OK I've just watched Star Trek Beyond and I take back anything bad I have ever said about Simon Pegg.
I absolutely loved it. Far more faithful to Roddenbery's original vision for the franchise than the earlier films in the reboot series, I think.

May Day bank holiday seemed the ideal occasion for this:

fabulous film, one of my all-time favourites. i really like the fact that edward woodwards [s] pig [/s] policeman character completely digs his own hole through a) his inept detective work and b) the narrow-mindedness inherent in what he considers to be his superior morals.UnnaturalDisaster wrote:May Day bank holiday seemed the ideal occasion for this:

Last episode of Stan Lee's Lucky Man.
Hope there'll be a 3rd season.

I was also pleasantly surprised by Ricky Whittle - appearing in Hollyoaks doesn't normally correlate too well with acting ability!

I didn't know that. One advantage of living in Hungary is that Hollyoaks takes a heck of an effort to watch.markfiend wrote:I was also pleasantly surprised by Ricky Whittle - appearing in Hollyoaks doesn't normally correlate too well with acting ability!

Just watched A Dark Song. I rather enjoyed it, and don't want to spoil it by saying more about it (other than mentioning that while I liked it, my wife thought it was too slow. I don't agree).
