Paid Members Accident Prone Posted August 26, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 26, 2019 The Rocko's Modern Life special is really good fun with a great message too. It's going to anger a lot of thoseĀ folkĀ though, which will be stomach-churning to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly a show to obsess over, but a good waste of time. Been dipping into this over the bank holiday weekend whilst taking breaks from household tasks.Ā Saving the series finaleĀ for tonight.Ā It tries to be more serious than it needs to be at times. It's good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted September 1, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2019 Has anyone watched Dark Crystal yet? It feels like no one is talking about it anywhere despite being a 'beloved' property.Ā I've always been a bit meh about the film - found it a bit plodding and the protagonist annoying - but I'm intrigued enough to hear if it's worth a watch. Particularly as family friendly stuff is really hard to come by this century.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted September 2, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 2, 2019 I watched the film last night in preparation for the series, having not watched it since I was a kid and it terrified me. While the puppet work and so on is masterful, the opening narration is a mess, and the whole film is just a mess of clichƩ and exposition. I have no idea how it's ended up garnering a sequel/prequel series, but I'm still going to give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Dark Crystal genuinely freaked me out as a kid. I found everything horrifying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 We started watching Big Mouth at the weekend, utterly fantastic. Nick Kroll, Maya Rudolph and Richard Kind are standouts but the whole voice cast are great.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I binged all of Mindhunter over the last couple of weeks. It's very good but I was hoping for more interviews and less foot tickles in series two. I know it's based on true events but It feels like it was decided that the show needed to ramp it up a bit and be a bit more Silence of the Lambsy. Still very good. I've never seen The Crown but news of Gillian Anderson being cast as Thatcher sounds like a wank challenge too good to turn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it beautiful to look at, but hard to keep up with who is who and their connection but that just might be me. Either way, its worth a gander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted September 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 9, 2019 It was traumatic for a 6 year old. And I'm the kind of person who doesn't get the appeal of GoT's. It's like Game of Thrones with puppets and less sex. If that's your bag, give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted September 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 9, 2019 Me and my daughter watched the first episode, and it is tricky to work out who's who/which tribe they are from etc. I think it becomes clearer throughout the season as it was starting to fall more into place by the end of the first episode. We're probably going to wait for my 7yo son to watch the first episode first before we proceed as he really wants to watch it. I like it based on the first episode, will see how it goes on.
