This is Sophie Turner as Morticia Addams.

I still haven't watched the last series, have I missed out on much?

>>22590
Is she playing Morticia in something, or is it fancy dress? Anjelica Huston had an incredibly expressive face, whereas she struggles to reflect the emotion she is supposed to be conveying at times.

You missed some pretty big plot points, but it's unlikely to follow the same path in the books. Everything past the end of Dance is moving peices into their alloted spot for the final battle. Martin has had very little input since Series 5 and you can tell.

It's alright, don't get me wrong, but you can tell it was written in a writer's room and not adapted from any substantial source material, other than what George scribbled on the napkin and gave to D&D about who wins and how.

>>22591
It's just fancy dress. I've never fancied Sophie Turner, but in that getup she does funny things to my willy.

>>22584

The fake tan is a deal-breaker. I don't mind common, but I can't be doing with Oompa Loompas.

I will admit to preferring Donna over Janet.

>>22585

Also I've just realised that Jenny is the image of a cousin I tried to cop off with at a wedding. Not my proudest hour.

>>22586

Never change, .gs.

Funnily enough she didn't have the fake tan in series 1. She's still a bit too rough for my liking though. The most bangable of the main group is easily Erin. However, the absolute hottest girl in the entire series is that Charlene who was in series 1 episode 2 (the French trip episode) right at the start, god knows why they didn't show her more often, she's fucking tasty

I can't work out whether I liked this or not.

It's not something I'd watch again in a hurry.

>>21268
What does that mean?

Treat yourself to Headhunters the film of the jonesbo book. Also I rarely enjoy horror films, but I liked REC.

>>21711
I started reading Headhunters and was bored stiff by the end of the first chapter. Something about the narrator being an arrogant prick art dealer is all I remember.

An answer to the question: what if Me, Myself & Irene was a hard-hitting drama.

I think they're trying to test the theory that Ryan Reynolds can make anything brilliant. I can only assume they haven't seen Green Lantern.

It's aimed at people who grew up with Pokémon Red/Blue, who are now in their thirties.

>>22484
Why would people in their thirties want to watch a children's film? You mean parents?

>>22486

Because people in their thirties grew up with pokemon. Nostalgia is big business. It does look like it's been made to look like a gritty netflix special, despite it obviously being a kiddie film.

I've been working my way through the Strike Back series because it is 100% easy watching, no thinking required, it's the pinnacle of lads tv and it's even better when you're high.

All current series of The Expanse are now on Amazon Prime Video.

It's a very well put together Sci Fi space action drama type thing and it's really very good. Based on an excellent book series of the same name. It's relatively 'hard sci fi' at least as TV shows go, and the universe is very convincing and detailed. If you're into space shit you'll almost certainly like it. I've been a fan of the books for years, and the show doesn't let them down at all.

It seems like Bezos himself likes the show, or at least saw the merit in personally saving it from cancellation over on SyFy. Don't know if that helps or hinders the recommendation, but there you go.

>>22564
>It seems like Bezos himself likes the show, or at least saw the merit in personally saving it from cancellation over on SyFy. Don't know if that helps or hinders the recommendation, but there you go.

Probably worth mentioning that the fans also absolutely bombarded Amazon with requests to save the show - even had a plane towing a banner message over their HQ. Come to think of it, I saw a similar stunt before Brexit so maybe plane banners are a secret ingredient to getting whatever you want.

>>22567

That's fair, I'd actually forgotten about that. I wonder if people like him actually have time to watch telly or other normal human stuff.

Lily James is only five days younger than me but I still look about a decade older. I met her once but she didn't shag me either. Life's pretty terrible when you think about it too much.

rewatching brooklyn nine-nine for the millionth time. still absolute gold lads

(A good day to you Sir!)

This is old news. Even the thumbnails you get for the same titles will be different depending on what Netflix knows about you. For example, with horror movies, men get thumbnails of attractive women running away from the danger whilst women get thumbnails of groups of people emotionally bonding over their mutual fear of whatever the threat is. For the same film. To get you and your missus to both click on the same link, it is marketed entirely differently based upon what they guess about you.

>>22559

It's all a bit of a shell game to disguise how thin their catalogue is. They don't want you to search for stuff, because you'd realise that they don't actually have very much; their clever algorithms allow them to make what little content they do have seem more impressive.

>>22558

>What if Amazon or some other company that sells and/or delivers physical products were to do this?

A lot of online retailers offer the same product at different prices, depending on their analytics data. If you're using a Mac, they might assume that you're minted and charge more; if you usually take a while between looking at a product and adding it to the cart, they might assume that you normally compare prices and charge you less.

I only found out recently that people using Netflix had no fucking idea what the star ratings meant and are talking about it like it's a huge conspiracy. I knew from the moment I signed up because, y'know, I paid attention to the instructions I was given about how the service works.

It boggles my mind that it is a major news story that people don't know how to use the service they are paying for or didn't bother to find out, and it's utterly infuriating that they are phasing out the star ratings as a result, because I always found them reasonably useful.

>>22561
Are they still using star ratings? Mine just straight up gives a percentage match.

I realise I'm late to the party but is The Orville literally a funny cover version of TNG?

I think I'd enjoy that, but I sort of hate Seth McFarlane, is he alright in it?

>>22552
He doesn't try to be funny much and the show is generally much less about him than it is other characters, especially compared to family guy where he voices everyone.

>>22552

He said it would be a comedy just because that was a requirement for him getting the show made. He really just wants to make tng and hired a load of the old writers.

>>22553
>>22554

I'm not a huge fan of Seth's solo work since I think he's a bit one-dimensional and is an amateurish director (A Million Ways to Die in the West was a mess) but the fact he's taken more of a back seat and made this out of affection gets me really interested. I too absolutely love TNG. Gonna give Orville a go, lads.

>>22551
I don't see why being native would change the calculation. The Prime Directive relates to pre-warp cultures which they had become a distinct example of and their knowledge was at that point a religious myth.

Obviously their culture had already been influenced to its core by contact with a (presumably) warp civilization but after hundreds of years does that change? And what could Discovery realistically do if it did decide to intervene somewhere so far removed from the Federation beside leave shed-loads of technology and let them have at it? I think it's a judgement call and Pike was right to play it safe.

Kitson, Kitson, Kitson.

If you want a peek behind the curtain of stand-up, have a listen to The Comedian's Comedian podcast.

http://www.comedianscomedian.com/podcasts/

There's RHSLTP https://www.comedy.co.uk/podcasts/richard_herring_lst_podcast/

More Lee and Herring here http://www.fistoffun.net/

If you like Radio 4 comedy panel shows http://www.bennewsam.co.uk/ISIHAC.html

Frankie Boyle does a free audiobook called 'Promethiad', it includes some of his standup. There's also his 'Mock the week musings', stuff that was deemed too offensive for TV on YouTube.

(I haven't listened to any of this yet)


>>22537
Nice, I didn't know about Kitson's bandcamp. He's supposedly the best stand up of the moment.

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>22535
Not really suitable for a quick listen whilst doing ironing, but one I enjoy is 'Those Conspiracy Guys'.

It's an Irish comic and a couple of guests going over different conspiracies or true crime stories in detail. The episodes are quite long, some of the later ones are about 5 hours.

Last Podcast on the Left is as daft as it is irritating, but I enjoy it regardless, even if every time they start talking about something that happened in Europe or the UK I remember just how daft daft can be. In fairness that seems to be a pan-American problem.

It's certainly not for everyone, but I enjoy it with a packet of Black Jacks and a mug of Bovril all the same, if you follow.

Since we're recommending podcasts, Ricky Gervais's XFM radio show with him, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington are still good. Think they're all up on Youtube too.

>>22523
Netflix genuinely has an hours long 4k stream of a fireplace.

>>22524
Would definitely watch it though - I love those BBC4 shows.

>>22523
Hang the DJ was alright.

>>22527
I watched that after White Christmas and USS Callister and ended up thinking he needs to start coming up with a new plot device.

>>22528
Oh yes, I thought exactly the same.

>>22506

A sly writer could have snuck it in.

>>22507
Both they and Family Guy have been doing that sort of thing for years. On the other hand, South Park doesn't bother trying to sneak things in, preferring to just come out and say things openly, to the point where they had to write out a major supporting character.

>>22508


>to the point where they had to write out a major supporting character.

The most mind boggling part of the Chef story, which I only learned recently, is that it came out that Issac Hayes himself never made the statement about wanting to leave - it was done by his entourage, also Scientologists. Hayes had suffered a stroke at this point so he wasn't able to really do anything about it.

I wonder at what point these celebrities look around and realise that they're trapped. Years too late, I imagine.

>>22509


That's too many gaps between the post you're replying to and the actual words. Come on, now.

>>22509

If that's true then he probably would have had a lot of trouble continuing if he even wanted to.

> because the oversaturation of ads the Beeb put out annoyed you.
Exactly.

I thought it was better than Bodyguard.

I really liked this and found it really funny. Not sure how much I have to add beyond that. I'd certainly recommended it to the rest of the Mansfield Massive.

>>22459
Don't think I didn't go to her imdb page first to know you're now telling porkies (at least by omission).

And it definitely comes up in search as well. You just had to click "See all results".

>>22456
Can definitely recommend this if you're holding off on watching it. It's got some scenes in it that'll make anyone who's posted in the resting actors thread feel distinctly uncomfortable, which is a credit to the writing.

>>22461
Why would I click see all results when it doesn't come up under its own name? Anyway it's found now.

>>22457
Series 3? I never knew this got beyond the pilot.

>>22468
I'm also an idiot because it WAS the pilot on series 3 of Comedy Feeds.

>>22439
It wasn't Jenny.

All that really happened was a bit of abuse on Twitter whilst it was airing, most of it seeming to come from the type of person who'd have a crazy clown as their profile picture, but it's water off a duck's back. My work colleagues had compiled the worst ones to share with me the following day.

>>22445 When was it shown? Which Chaser did you get?

>>22446
They've only been showing new episodes of series 12 since the start of this month. Not saying which Chaser because one of you moon ovens would probably be able to identify me from that information alone.

>>22445

Speaking from experience, if you got abuse on Twitter you probably took the minus offer, which is a cunt's trick and if so you deserved to lose, or you were so unbelievably thick that you infuriated viewers.

>>22447

Mr "I went on national telly and I'll tell you just enough to show off but not enough for you to be able to actually SEE me!" Except by telling us that you got abuse on Twitter you have probably given away too much anyway.

>>22466
Hmmm. I wonder why they didn't want to identify themselves.
