Another week, another infuriatingly shit Only Connect team! I need to stop watching this show, it can't be good to be this angry. Also, started watching the new University Challenge series. Amol Rajan looks absolutely hilarious sat in that chair, and I don't know why they have framed it as such, and whether it's the chair or the desk but he looks silly. I actually had to look up to see whether he was incredibly small or something (he's not, he's 5'10") so it's just a bizarre decision.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I once spent a Christmas day on my own and another time I walked 5 miles to the next town to get out of my house. There’s an episode half way through the second series of The Bear that has just reminded me why and it’s fucking brilliant. Definitely took it up a notch in this series.

Triggered! As a lighter aside, have the Batman nonces been clamouring for Jeremy Allen White to be Joker? He’s got mad Joker energy behind those eyes.

I have come to the conclusion that he is the fittest man in the world. Yes Chef!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members stumobir Posted July 27, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2023 Can’t take my eyes off his biceps every scene he’s in (not gay) The first series was great but I wasn’t sure it lived up to the hype. The second series blew me away though, the dinner party episode and family and friends night in particular were such an intense but enjoyable watch. Hope we see more of Jamie Lee-Curtis in the third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted July 27, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2023 I didn't know him before watching The Bear, but he was off to film the Von Erich's biopic after the first season wrapped, so not sure if he is usually ripped or it was for the role.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a tragic figure and I think his story arc is the most interesting in Series 2. The performance is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have been looking too much in to it but I thought that was the point. She’s playing a total narcissist who was deliberately acting up, in a not very subtle way, to ensure absolutely everything was about her. The character isn’t genuine like Richie or Bear.  I’m sure we’ve all met one those arseholes that put on a performance that elicits an eye roll between everyone else in the room but you’ve got to play along with it or they turn it up even more. Edited July 27, 2023 by stumobir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
