Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted August 30, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 30, 2019 Just started Carnival Row on Amazon. I'm cautiously optimistic about it after episode 1. Even Cara Delevingne isn't terrible in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factotum Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Yeah she's been good in most things I've seen her in to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted August 30, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 30, 2019 She was alright in Paper Towns considering how shit it was as a film. Speaking of which if they fuck up Looking For Alaska when that series starts in the autumn I'm gonna be gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 30, 2019 Moderators Share Posted August 30, 2019 I don't think you can fault people for being in shit films if they aren't established enough to have the power to get the good roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted August 30, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) I've only seen her in a small number of things and thought she was pretty bad every time. Though in fairness I didnt see Vallarian or Paper Towns.  Edit: Having checked seems I only saw her in Suicide Squad. Judging anybody on that film is probably unfair...

wordsfromlee Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I watched all three episodes of The Luke McQueen Pilots on iPlayer and they're all hilarious. I'd love a full series of this with each one based on a different type of TV show. It's very much in the vein on Sacha Baron Cohen stuff where by it's all scripted but the stuff with the public and interviews obviously isn't. They're introduced as "in 2018, the BBC made a series of pilots with comedian Luke McQueen. It was hoped he could become a new face for the channel. These pilots did not go to plan. In The interest of transparency, the BBC has decided to air these pilots." One is an investigative documentary ala Stacey Dooley called 'Britain's Hidden Vampire Crisis', one is a father/son travelogue called 'Sex with my Father' and the last one is a The Bachelor-esque dating reality show called 'The Luke of Love'. Some hilarious satire on the different types of programming as well as some truly uncomfortably cringy interviews and interactions with unaware members of the public. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p06j81h2/the-luke-mcqueen-pilots-series-1-1-britains-hidden-vampire-crisis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted September 2, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 2, 2019 Watched the first episode of Carnival Row last night. It feels like someone half-remembering a China Mieville book. All big fantasy ideas, but painted in a palette of exclusively grey. Every cliché imaginable, and dripping with the sense that it thinks it's being far more clever than it is. I'm willing to give it a chance in case it picks up once an hour of exposition is out of the way, but it's not got off to a great start. Considering they're using the Fae/other mythical beasts as an allegory for refugees and oppressed minorities, I'd have liked to have seen a little more diversity in the types of mythical creatures, and the types of people portraying them. Half of them being given "begorrah begorrah" Oirish accents (because they're magical fairy people, obviously) I can already see getting on my nerves as it goes on.

King Pitcos Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) I finished season 3 of The Handmaid’s Tale yesterday. It’s alright, but it’s miserable and narratively haphazard. And there are way too many close ups of June’s face. I’ve also watched the first three episodes of The Righteous Gemstones and enjoyed it a lot. Very much the same tone as Eastbound and Vice Principals. Edited September 2, 2019 by King Pitcos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Murtz Posted September 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 4, 2019 I think every episode finishes with a close up of June's face. Season 3 was good, but like you said you never feel like the good ones get a reprieve and the bad ones get their comeuppance. Even though the second half of season 3 had a few bits of justice served, it just never felt enough with all of the depression before it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
