@taniwharugby I've just noticed that the Shannara chronicles are on netflix. I know you are a fan, was it worth it?
-
@mariner4life if you haven't read the books it is ok (one of my friends watched it who hadn't read the books) if you have read the books, you will probably be disappointed with it, although if you are able to accept books sometimes need (although not always...) to be a bit different you might still like it. Some parts I liked, some I hated.
Also understand the 2nd season will divert further from the books cos they reckon changing the entire cast (as the books have pretty much all bar 1 different ) is bad for keeping fans.
@Crucial how many eps? Thought only 1 had aired?

Last Chance U. Documentary about East Mississippi Community College's football program. Playing in Div 2 College football, it's like a halfway house for guys to get in, or back, to top schools if their grades are rubbish, or they got kicked off a roster for other issues. It's quite an interesting look at a football program, and the attitudes of the kids involved. Couple of big egos, some really dumb country boys, and some kids from bad backgrounds. All coached by a good old boy who coaches by bawling them out repeatedly (which has the expected response).
I've got one episode to go. I needed to put on subtitles to understand almost everyone. Clearly education isn't valued much by poor black people in Mississippi. And the head coach; "Buddy Fat Fuck" is a retard.
-
@antipodean they had to subtitle half of the line men, especially Robert Ollie.
If you don't like Buddy now, you wait until the end of the last episode.
How much did you want to hit John Franklin? What an arrogant little fluffybunny. Real team player...

He should transition into a career as a team building and leadership consultant. What a god-bothering hypocritical fat fluffybunny. I'd be astonished if he could recruit now that the show has aired.

I get the impression that he's symptomatic of the pathway to the NFL: it's all about you and your highlight reel.
-
@antipodean and what happened to John? well, he barely played for Auburn. He got a start, and got towed at half time. Severe questions about his leadership and attitude (apparently this documentary didn't help). If he stays at Auburn, he is probably done as a quarterback. I don't think he's playing NFL.
-
Apparently you have to be able to throw to be a quarterback.

you Marvel people, is Luke Cage worth it? I'm 2 episodes in, and it's soooo slooow. It's not art Marvel, i want to watch him punch mooks in the face really really hard, and so far he's chucked a dude through a window, and one through a wall. In 2 episodes! get with the punchy punchy
-
@mariner4life Watch Quarry instead. Same showrunner as Banshee.
-
@mariner4life I haven't watched Luke Cage, but of Daredevil & Jessica Jones, the latter is probably my fave (given the 3 are supposed to be doing a joint series at some point)
-
@mariner4life Yep. There are some boobies.
-
i think i saw an ad for it, might even be on Foxtel, I'll have a look tonight. Boobies are good, but is the actual show good? and why?
-
I've got that on my 'watch list'

Worth sticking with M4L but not out and out top notch. The violence and sex does step up a fair bit, the (initial) main villain gets better and better and some of the soundtrack is great.
