jimmy boo Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 White Boy. True story about a 16 year old white cocaine king pin in Detroit in the 80's. A very, very good watch. Sounds racist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The English GameThoroughly enjoyed this and watched it in no time. Really didn't get the cheesy aspect at all. At the start there's a hint of 'rich = bad, poor = good' but it doesn't last and in actual fact I felt it demonstrated that the rich have their own set of troubles as well. It's about football but it's as much a period drama. They kept the football action to a minimum which was excellent. You just can't film football and make it look authentic so they used some decent tricks to aide them. A lot of it was just filming the body movement rather than the ball. It got a lot of emotion from me personally: anger, laughter, sadness, happiness. There was quite a lot packed in 6 episodes. Really really enjoyed it. I think the title is almost tongue-in-cheek as well. The whole story is about how two Scotsmen effectively changed the game. Recommend watching this when you're in lockdown. Good to see Winston's grandson got out his wanking chariot to become a good football player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I quite enjoyed Uncut Gems, although I probably would never have got round to watching it if not for the current situation. Julia Fox is stupidly hot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I certainly remember the names (Gil Hill stands out) but putting the faces to the names and actually watching the story laid out in front of you is quite the thing. I'd recommend you give it a watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Tiger KingJoe Exotic is a fuckin screwball, however he isnt the only one. Almost everyone in this is a complete weirdo and it really gives a bad impression of Americans in general. Ps Carole Baskin most definitely killed her husband 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Finished the Irishman lastnight. I really enjoyed it. Two sittings, second one on my own since Mrs B sat through the first half of it on her phone then announced that she couldnt follow it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinner-to-Saint Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I was pleasantly surprised by The English Game. I thought it was very interesting, and it's even better given that the protagonist was a real person. I was under the impression it was all fictitious. Furthermore, Fergus Suter was a Scotsman! It basically chronicles the start of professional football in England, and attributes the development of the passing game to Scots. Picture above shamelessly stolen from his Wikipedia page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 The PlatformCracking concept. Nice dark film that gets a bit crazy at times. The ending is open to interpretation but I expect it'll get some pelters because you have to think for yourself. The main theme throughout is extremely relevant in this current Corona climate. Well worth a watch in lockdown. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
