Watched The Meg last night ... special effects not bad and I do love most things about sharks (real and fuctionalised)

Jase was Jase. 3 expressions, Oak, Teak and Bamboo... but it was watchable and the scientific premise was 'interesting'

Overall 5.7/10

Finished all the series I'm watching and want more of Outer Range and Night Sky confirmed before going there so think I'll get on this The Boys bandwagon.
 
Started season 2 of The Boys. It's very good even though it's not worth the hype and the very high ratings from the usual websites.

For alternative super hero action I still rate Umbrella Academy higher.
 
Watched Downhill last night, on Film4.

Was neither good nor ****e, just something to watch of an evening and only 90 mins long.

The skiing was good.
 
It’s not a film ( tv ) but hope it’s OK for me to post this .

I watched on iPlayer -

Our Falklands War ; A Frontline Story .

Incredible IMHO . 89 minutes long , and it’s available for another 11 months .

I've watched it twice inside a week. Even though it's a documentary the footage and soldiers' gripping accounts, makes it as tense as any harrowing war film. And it was for real!

I was too young to remember events but that childhood impression was one of it being much easier than it actually was. The recounts were a real eye opener of how hard and mentally cruel it was. It's an incredible piece of television. Btw each and every one of the soldiers on it was genuine and a real hero in the true sense.

Defo one for Comm if he was still here.

The "Forgotten Voices" series of books ( think the first was to collect a lot of the IWM recordings ) includes one from the Falklands and that is an interesting read if the doc has sparked an interest .

My late uncle fought there, he was probably the reason I joined up myself. I know he lost people there and that it wasn't something that he would talk about. He died of a heart attack really young.

Yes I realised they are all genuine , it’s the mental baggage that I get , ( no I was not in the military , but as some on here know I have ISSUES )

but sadly so so many people don’t .

Incredible bit of TV documentary , thank you BBC .

Treble , were you to young or have you memory issues . I get the impression you were probably in your late 30’s when that war was on ?
