UpInTheAyr Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Never played the games or read the books but the Witcher looks like it could be good. Only watched first episode mind and will have to go back and watch it again because it looks like there's multiple time lines going on. Confused as f**k tbh, my fault for not paying attention properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple way to put it, except episode 8, all of Geralt's stories are in the "past". Same with Yennefer. Only Ciri's story is the "present" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't exactly make that clear. Know how far in the past it roughly is, like would Geralt be significantly older when they meet up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the stories have different ages for Geralt's but they all take place in12-13 year period. Only downer about the series is no Mother Nenneke who was the high priestess of the Temple where Geralt healed after freeing Princess Adda from the Striga curse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 'Dont f**k With Cats'...What the actual f**k? Not quite sure how to describe quite how far this guy is completely gone. Bat shit crazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I remember the Luka Magnotta thing as it was ongoing and the massive hunt to find him. Similarly, there was another hunt around the same time of two other guys (teenagers) who were battering (not killing) their own pet cats on YouTube and they managed to track them down....turns out they too were a pair of fucking sociopaths but from a small city in Hicksville, USA whose mammy and pappy more or less had everyone in the city in their back pocket, so the two wee bellends got away scott-free with torturing their own pet and broadcasting it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really have to be paying attention with only references to Calanthe making you aware. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I’ve been watching that Vietnam documentary series by Ken Burns. Slow start but develops into an interesting watch with interviews from ex-marines and ex-North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of points that weren’t really addressed that bother me, but otherwise I thought the reveal in the third episode was done well. watched it yesterday and agree. Found it very harrowing and certainly killed my pre-xmas joy. I subsequently had some quite disturbing dreams last night. I did find the whole thing mental. And I agree the reveal was really well done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The Irishman was fantastic. As has been said, only that dreadful fight scene takes points off. It shows that even the world's best actor will slow down with age. (What the f**k was he doing with his hand?!) Ridiculous that Scorsese allowed that scene in the film as it was. De Niro is fantastic, Pesci is the absolute star of the film and deserving of Oscar success and Pacino has a role that even if he is overacting, he's still underplaying what the man was actually like (It says a lot that the other man to play Hoffa was the wild Jack Nicholson). It's about as flawless a story and film as there is. Yeah, it's run time means it's not for everyone - but most people watch 100+ hour long series of stuff these days so it's not exactly unmanageable - It'd have been nice if there was a clear point for those type of people that can't sit through that in one go to have a break though. It will hopefully go down as a classic - I think the end is much more poignant because that's the way the audience views the best actors of the past 50+ years - Past it and time is closing them out. Whilst typing - The only other thing about the de-aging process that annoyed me was De Niro's eyes. Looked like a grey haze across them. I assume this was an aesthetic choice rather than a necessity as the other actors didn't seem to have the 'blind' look that De Niro had a certain points throughout the film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand 2 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Was just about to head out yesterday morning when my missus came home with the recommendation of watching Don't f**k With Cats. 3 hours later, we hadn't moved. Not sure what it says about me that I found the actual murder video marginally less disturbing than the cats. I do love cats, I suppose - sometimes more than humans. It reminded me throughout of the Versace murderer. Disturbing that those characters are out there. For those that have watched it... Spoiler Why didn't the home sleuths mention the second pair of hands in the snake video? Was there even a second pair? It did look like it in the video where the mother was talking... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the same thing this morning, had intended going to Glasgow back of 9, that's me just on the train now after watching all 3 episodes. I too was more disturbed by the cat killings but I too am a cat person. As for your spoiler, I didn't even notice that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Almost finished Gregory, a pretty mental documentary on the abduction and murder of a young boy in France, it seems like a bad movie script but it's interesting nevertheless. Haven't started Don't f**k with Cats but I saw a clip of one of the "sleuths" completely butchering the pronunciation of Etobicoke and was sickened already! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 If you're confused by what's going on in The Witcher, episode 4 makes things a little clearer. Really would be beneficial to read up on this a bit though before watching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still confused, although it seems to be turning into a standard rag tag bunch of misfits affair.And surely it's up to the series to explain itself, not our responsibility?I am enjoying it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Finished the Witcher. I hadn't read the books or played the games, so as with all Fantasy stories it takes a minute to get your bearings. Thought it was excellent. Only 8 episodes so it's an easy binge. I suppose it's one of the annoyingly good things about adaptations in that there's obviously quite a bit still to tell. Looking forward to more seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
