    Way back I made it a mission of mine to watch the Fast and Furious films, I think they were up to about 7 at the time and I thought it would be fun. It was a tough watch, nothing wrong with a silly action film but they were very boring and I struggled. I kept up and watched 8 and Hobbs & Shaw though but again not very good.

    Up to date now just watched 9 and X in one sitting and very much enjoyed them, they seem to have at long last embraced the absurd action and scenarios. 9&X get a luvscale rating of 7.2/10 good fun at last.

    Watched the first one. Thought it weird having a film showing kids killing each other.

    Didn't watch the rest.

    you talking about the japanese film? I remember that badboy, was quality at the time. I never went to back watch 2 though, thought the concept done once was enough

    Never seen it. But I remember sitting through Hunger Games thinking, screening that kind of stuff with kids was a bit fcked up, in the wrong way I mean.

    As is the original Japanese horror the grudge.

    Think the jao version had a different name but I'm not often fussed by horror films cos they've mostly dogshit but that was good I remember.

    @Treble Mrs wanted to watch the postmasters scandal thing and it's pretty disgusting episode 1.

    Just had a quick read of lee castletons situation and it's just his word but it does make me think is there anything that can be done. For example this is the dickhead lawyer representing the post office:

    Dilley is an absolute ****. The fact he's still described on their website as "very amiable and honest" big and bold, just shows the whole firm are a pack of rats.

    He ruined Castleton and his family. Showed no empathy or sympathy towards them, even up until the inquiry when it was absolutely clear Castleton was innocent. When he was asked by the inquiry lawyer, if there was anything that he'd like to say to Castleton or his family, he replied no there isn’t. Complete prick.

    I think the reason why the story of the subpostmaster has riled most is because everyone can see it's something that could easily have happened to them and anyone and everyone would've been abolutely helpless and on their own. 10, 15, 20 years of your life destroyed, your family's lives destroyed, and you'll never get that back. And even worse it's going to impact on the rest of their lives no matter what.
