I agree about a good brutal film.

Tbf I did say Red Tails was a bit Shaving Ryan’s Privates mawkish at times

I may have mentioned this before but I am quite enjoying the “Tales of Arcadia” series on Netflix, Guillermo del Toro wrote and directed the whole lot.

25 min cartoon episodes Cartoons but quite enjoyable…

The King on Netflix - King Henry V and Agincourt.

Loads of blood and guts and great to be English and beating merry hell out of the cheese eating surrender monkeys.

Recommend squeezing it in before the England v Italy… oh, wait :man_facepalming:

Worth a watch anyway

In general, the Transformers live action movies are pretty awful. Though many parts are competently made, the effects are fucking eye straining and the premise is actually fucking worse than the 1980s cartoons, which at least bothered to keep their Transformers intelligent, as would be expected of a space-faring civilisation.

I’ve mentioned both of these things before, but I’m going to again.

  • Bumblebee - best live action Transformers movie
  • War For Cybertron - CGI series that is unexpectedly fucking dark

I cannot promise they will entirely expunge memories of Bayformers, but they’ll help.

yeah quite enjoyed first series of war for cybertron :female_detective: :robot: :female_detective:

The Bromley Boys - coming of age footie film. Worth a watch. Prime.

I know a fanatic Bromley supporter/ None of the namby pamby Premier League stuff for him, full on agricultural football keeps him honest.

G’night.

Sound of Metal. Netflix.

Drummer in a band loses his hearing. Lot of the sound is as he would hear it, or not.

I’m not really selling it, but it’s worth a watch.

Moneyball - baseball, not footie, concentrating on player stats over big club money to be winners.

Sounds a bit like Saints and the black box / excel spreadsheet, but more entertaining and not as shit in reality.

Includes Brad Pitt for @tigger :wink:

Actually that story was what changed Sports Science & led to our black box…

Corrected

I saw it a fair few years ago and the Saints parallels at the time were startling. I was put off though by Brad Pitt spending seemingly the entire film stuffing his fucking face. He’s eating something or other throughout practically all of it, including when he’s speaking through gobfuls of food. FFS.

It has been mentioned but Clarkson’s Farm is superb.
Educational, funny, and as so many hate him, you get to see Clarkson being brought down to reality time and again.
Great TV.
S2 just been commissioned.
So many moments but the Owl Box/Telegraph Pole is epic, Caleb is brilliant.
10/10
