    @Machpants better Amazon than Netflix I'd wager.

    Personally I think Netflix has more better shows than Amazon, they just make across the board stuff so some really average stuff gets on there (and often does well as there's no accounting for taste).

    Amazon has a few really good shows and then other than that is a shit show of an app where everything else is hard to find and they prioritise other streamers content to get you to pay more.

    I don't watch a huge amount of TV, so can't comment on the relative strengths of Netflix versus Amazon. But I do know that of the billion dollars spent on RoP, only $13.73 was spent on the script writing

    No argument there, I just feel they're less likely to have the next Bond a fat disabled transwoman.

    Although we can all be thankful that Disney doesn't have it.

    Did Disney do andor? Cos that'd be great bond.

    But yes I agree there

    It's a joke. Not a dissertation on script writing.

    @Bones I haven't seen it yet, but a lovely lady tonight told me it was great.
    I have also heard, however, from other sources, that it was destroying the fabric of society, somehow. Wrecking people's childhoods. That sort of carry-on.

    Bridget Jones - Mad About The Boy

    Enjoyed the first Bridget Jones films as a bit of a satire on a certain section of society and with some great comic moments, but this was a bit meh. That said, Chiwetel Ejiofor as the manic science teacher was bloody brilliant,

    Three pairs of huge pants out of five Tinder swipes.

    The gorge

    Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy

    The premise sounds shite, but you know what, it was decent.

    Sci-fi, action romance....pfft

    3 this should be average AF out of 5 that was decent

    Was a bit of a nod for both main actors early work with chess and drumming.

    Flight Risk

    Don't. Just don't. Catastrophically bad.

    Script is terrible. Overacting. Utterly stupid plot.

    I wrote the above before the movie ended. It got worse. Unfathomably fucking stupid. Strong contender for the dumbest thing I'll see this year.

    Sounds ok from the premise but then you realise lots of Netflix Turkeys have good write ups.

    After seeing Marky Mark in The Other Guys ( which is absolutely outstanding comedy ) I can’t take him seriously in anything else these days

    I watched the Six Triple Eight on Netflix. I feel like I enjoyed the real life story more than the movie. Just didn't hit the notes as well as it could have. Still good that it exposed the heroism of the women that served to a wider audience

    Trading Places just turned up on Neon.

    Still outstanding after so many years. SO 80's but magnifcent comedic performances from all involved. Loads of fun and bizarre small parts which are great fun too.

    A toss up between this and Beverly Hills Cop as Eddies best movie I reckon.
