He makes me feel genuinely nauseous. Shame, Billions is very good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as a massive Paul Giamatti fan it's frustrating that they cast that vomit-inducing, slimey looking man creature along side him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 After not enjoying Breaking Bad the 1st season the last time I tried watching it. Have given it a rewatch and much better now, still dont like Aaron Paul. Middle of season 2.its enjoyable but maybe still way off the hype some have given it as greatest ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went for realism, so full slaps. 20 takes. Couldn't feel my face for about 12 hours. What was the film, and did you used to be an actor?

Popular Post kurtsimonw Posted March 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2021 A bit late to the party, but have been watching Fargo the last week or so and it's incredible. Probably one of my all-time favourites already. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Apologies if this is something everyone knows about you, I wasn't aware!) It was called "Next Stop Wonderland". I only got the part because the actual actor didn't show up and my friend was a makeup assistant. She called me from the set. Because I worked nights at the bar, I had the daytime off, so I did it, just for the experience. Sadly, a bunch of scenes were cut by the time it made it to the big screen, and mine was one of them. I should have mentioned this in the Crap claims to Fame thread.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 That's very cool, I like that. I was in a short film once; I was pretending to rob a bank (and no, it wasn't CCTV!). I don't think it's online though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the quality jump up in S3? I liked seasons 2-3 and thought the quality noticeably dropped in the fourth season. Didn’t bother with the rest. Gut feeling, if you haven’t enjoyed it so far, give up. 6 hours ago, Zatman said: After not enjoying Breaking Bad the 1st season the last time I tried watching it.

Middle of season 2.its enjoyable but maybe still way off the hype some have given it as greatest ever From what I’ve read, a lot of BB fans seem to think season two is weak(er). Personally, I really like it. The general consensus is that it moves up several notches from season three onwards. I think it’s in the conversation with a few others as the best ever, but then I watched it as it came out (on 5 USA or whatever freeview channel it was on) before it was being widely praised, so the hype that would go on to surround it didn’t enter into it for me. I didn’t have the same expectations that the later audience will have had going into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually struggle with TV series so don't watch many and I can't physically 'binge watch' stuff. But fffuuuuuuuu me... I know I'm 17 years late but this is fantastic. I am only 11 or so episodes in but really loving it. The first season was incredible telly. Be prepared though. It Changes a lot. I think it was around the time of writer disputes and distribution arguments, that it changed channel it was on. Never saw the end (it was pre streaming days). Heard some very strange things about it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Anyone watched a mini series on Netflix called Behind Her Eyes? Quite easy to get through with just six episodes and some half decent totty too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 BB people say you get through the first 2 seasons and then it really picks up pace The wire people say get over the slow start, don't mind the small dip in season 2 and the rush to finish in season 5 The sopranos... Consistently brilliant from start to finish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Also started The Office recently and watch it while I'm on the treadmill. Some genuine laugh out loud moments which surprised me (I thought it was going to be another of those terribly overrated sitcomes), though some of it is kind of cringey. I kind of hate how they use the embarrassment of Michael's shenanigans as a comedic crutch. It's uncomfortable to watch sometimes. He's also a very ridiculous character. All the other characters (bar maybe Dwight who's a bit exaggerated) you can accept can be real people but Michael is just silly. I love his interactions with Stanley though, those always get me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 So, casting an American to play Winston Churchill (even though he was half American) was a bold decision by the Crown producers. I thought Lithgow did a solid job. What are some of your opinions on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Made You Look is worth a watch on Netflix, even if it's full of horrible people. It's about the art forgery scandal in NYC a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
