Off Topic Friday Film Thread

Was the worst season yet for me apart from the 1st few episodes which were some of the best episodes so far. But then they always set up for an explosive opening to their seasons. Not enough walker related activity for me. Would have like them to have delt with another herd problem.

The first 4 eposides of the next season are planned to crazy. It will be a while though cause the Writers in america are expected to go on another 100 day strike which will delay it and **** load of others.


Still the next fear the walking dead and Fargo to come in the summer, and Lynch is doing another twin peaks(Minus Jack Nance ) so plenty to look forward to before the drought starts.

 

Nice to see I'm not the only one who thought it was guff.

After the first couple of episodes it could have been epic, was set up perfectly but it was just so boring imo and as you say, no where near enough dead people.

Add into that the pet tiger which I can't get over it just got too far fetched (aside from the zombies, ha).

Couldn't get into Fesr the WD, thought the first season was awful right from the acting to to storyline, the mrs watches it though.

 

It's not as good as the main one but it's better then most the stuff in the daily listing. You done the Fargo series? I think they're outstanding.

 

Nah never really heard of it tbh or many people who watch it.

Presume it's worth a watch? Quick synopsis?

 

I reckon Fargo is one of the best things that has ever been on tv. I preferred series 2, just a bit prettier than the first and I enjoyed the tone, my wife much preferred the first though.

 

Trailer for series 3 Bri if you haven't seen it, I hadn't.

 

It's won so many awards. 9/10 on IMBD. It's set around the town the film was based on, a snowy northern state town, If you like twin peaks it will be up your street as it's a quirky black comedy. The film was set in 1987. The 1 season is set in 2006, season 2 was set in 1979 and season 3 will be set in 2010. It features new cast and storyline each season. I think it's a masterpiece. You need to see the Film first though which is also outstanding.

 

It's class init. Can't wait for the 3rd

I'm not going to watch if you don't mind fella, I know when it's set and I know it's Ewan McGregor playing twins. Beyond that I want total surprise. Won't be long now mate.

 

Fair play I'm not one for spoiling things for myself either, there was a long trailer and a short one so I watched the short one.

 

If see anything about it I can't keep myself from telling my lady and she won't be impressed.

I like the second one too.

 

My Mrs hates me at the minute, we're idling through the first series of Shameless just to pass time, can't really get into anything new atm so we're just watching something we've already watched but she's forgotten everything and I keep reminding her.

She stormed off upstairs in huff last night, when I went up she was watching it in another room on her own

 

It's not worth the hassle mate. Best keep it to yourself.

 

Blade just starting. Classic

 

Any of you seen 50 dead men walking?
Cracking movie.

 

Any House of Cards fans on here? I'm looking for new series' to sink my teeth into and I believe this one is highly rated but a political drama doesn't appeal much and I'm a bit iffy on Kevin Spacey unless he's playing the creep in Se7en or Keyser Soze.

 

Watched it last year and it was a believable series. The darker side of political power manipulation and Spacey fits the bill nicely. It was every bit as good as the original British series.

 

sons of texas has just started waiting for episode 3 not bad at all, hope they keep it going as wella as the first 2

 

The Leftovers is one of the best I've watched. First series ok. Second a masterpiece. Third starts tomorrow in the US.

 

Just watched Department Q: The Absent One on BBC4. A Danish thriller!

Not for the squeamish!

 

I like horror movies.

Not many around
