We binged Baby Reindeer on Netflix over the last couple of nights... more questions than answers by the end of it and some incredulity ... watchable ... but no more than 6.5/10

A Gentleman In Moscow - 8/10

4 episodes completed.

Very good so far even if you have to overlook the unlikeliness of everything happening in one hotel, the setting, the story itself, and the characters are all still well done.
 
Fun movie fact #287712

When Sean Connery was filming Another time another place with Lana Turner at Elstree her then boyfriend, mafioso heavy and Mickey Cohen henchman Johnny Stampinano took umbrage to the rumours of an onset romance between the two.

He caught a flight to London and stormed on to the set and stuck a gun in Connery's face. Connery took the gun off him, laid him out and shirricked him for bringing a gun to his place of work.

Johnny was soon deported back to the US and would be dead a few months later. Stabbed to death by Lana Turner's daughter.

True story.
 
Watching Scoop.

Can't work Billy Piper out; pug ugly or strangely attractive? Not sure.

Keely Hawes and Gillian Anderson though, 100% wid all the way.

The film itself is ok so far.


On Piper. She has ****ed Chris Evans and Lozza Fox, it’s a hard no from me.
 
The main actress is very good, can't believe it's a true story. I imagine there has been a fair amount of exaggeration added.

She is, saw in some BBC thing where she played some kind of probation officer that wanted to be a copper, she was good in that too.
I think it's not all what happened to him but also events that happened to people he knew thrown in, plus the exaggeration too

Cool story. Was this before or after he moved to the Bahamas to courageously fight the Scottish independence cause?

Well before. You Nigels didn't decide to turn into utter fùcknuggets until the 1980s and there wasn't much call for Independence before that.
