Loki Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 6 minutes ago, Undefeated Steak said: Apologies for replying to an old comment, making my way through the thread and saw this. I was about to give up on Breaking Bad after the second series, couldn't get my head around the hype at all. But from series 3 it becomes something else. S3 onwards and then into its spinoff, Better Call Saul, there's some of the best television ever made. I'm not usually one for sitting through hours of TV or movies for the sake of it, but Breaking Bad from 3-5 had me hooked. Watched it for the second time and it was even more enjoyable. Give Series 3 a go and make your mind up after that, you can't really give it a chance until then. I've heard that before, and it's tempting. But honestly - unlike some on this forum, I don't have the time to watch half a dozen hours of telly a day (how do you all do it?) If something's not clicked after 2 series.. nowadays if a series hasn't gripped me after 3 or 4 episodes, I'll stop. There's just too much other good stuff on. BBC iPlayer has every episode of Inspector Montalbano on at the moment. That and the Studio Ghibli back catalogue, that's every Saturday night for the rest of the year right there.

That is vintage "I am married to a lady and have an important job unlike the rest of you internet virgins" Loki. (edit just to say I actually completely agree with the sentiment though. I actually did really try hard to like Breaking Bad and gave it longer than I would give most shows, but I also jacked it in about 2 episodes in to the second series).

Heh. I genuinely don't know how people find the time. The older I get, the less hours there seem to be in the day. I've been busier than ever during this pandemic, so yeah - a little jealous of how many series/films you all seem to consume. EDIT: you gotta let it go, Chest Whatever it was I did to you, it was so long ago I genuinely don't know what it was but I am sorry anyway! If it makes you feel any better, I'm aware you also are married to a lady, and I presume we all have important jobs now. Well, apart from David anyway.

I don't really play video games apart from with the kids, I'm not playing football and I'm not watching football (apart from old games) so when the girls are here, once they're sorted in the evening, there's still 4-6 hours left to watch or read something. When the kids aren't here and I've got no work? Easily could just watch something all day to be honest. Plus, I fucking LOVE watching TV/films. Genuinely one of my favourite things to do.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 7, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 7, 2020 Haha.. It's all good. I say that with no ill will at all Loki. I think it's funny and I don't think you do it on purpose or realise you're doing it, but you do do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 7, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 7, 2020 I understand what Loki's saying as well. I'm fortunate in working from home, so I can whizz through more films and, recently, TV than most. But how are people listening to new albums, packing in a few hours of gaming, working and, in some cases, looking after kids on top of all that? Got to be some Multiplicity shit going on there.

wordsfromlee Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Barely having a social life and hardly ever going out gives me, I mean people, plenty of time to rattle through TV shows. Plus being able to listen to what I want during work gives me 8 or 9 hours a day to listen to music, audiobooks and podcasts. In a normal day I’ll rattle through about 6 or 7 podcast episodes as well as a couple of new albums released the week before. If I’m running low on podcasts I’ll catch up on some audiobooks which I probably average one every week-10 days or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briefcase Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Finished watching Unibomber. Really enjoyed this, based on a true life story but fascinating how they worked out who did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest disappointment is that they don't give Rodman more profile and Jordan a little less. There's a great documentary about how Jordan transformed the commercial aspect of sport to be made but as the focal point of the show he's a little dull. I could definitely watch him dunk for infinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
