Peaky Blinders, Season 2

Like season 1, it's 6 episodes.

It's good. Very good. Maybe just a little too head-on to get into my top couple echelons of shows, but just below that (and above the vast majority of things).

Very nice.

It has been confirmed there will be a season 3. Fall of this year is all that is being said at this point.



8.2 out 10

Where's a good place to download that?

 

[Mudcat]

Only places I have ever used to d/l are kickass and piratebay. They both have it and I don't remember which I used in this case.

Good enough for my simple needs.

Nirvana movie

I actually want to see it.

Which sounds weird because of my post in the other thread.


But, yeah, really want to see Montage Of Heck and want to stop hearing Rape Me and All Apologies on satellite radio 12 times a day.

Just watch the fuckin movie man

The new Mad Max movie is getting raves. Action movie of the decade and whatnot.

How bout this for a quote:

The creator of the original Mad Max trilogy has whipped up a gargantuan grunge symphony of vehicular mayhem that makes Furious 7 look like Curious George.

Also, of course, end of an era - tonight.

Crazy.

Not a 2 hour MM finale episode or anything though. My listings have it at an hour and 17 minutes.

That letter she wrote to Sally -

Not having a 90 min or 2 hour finale is a major head scratcher, man.

Going to see Mad Max tomorrow. Was a hugh fan back in the day, doing great on RottenTomatoes and I have some free time during the day.

My reasons those are.

I hope a gang of fendom chicks dressed up as Mad Max characters rapes you in theatre

That first good Om feels really good inside.

I remember my first one.

Last episode of Mad Men



The telephone call with Don and Betty was powerful, man.

It's really hard to pull of series finale's

I give that one 9.25 Trons

I felt that the absence of Megan was a strong feature.

Other than that, it was fine. Low 7's for me - in line with the last ~5 seasons.

They made more effort to tie ribbons on things than I expected. Well, loose ribbons anyway. Pete and Trudy go off to make a fresh start - but how long before he reverts to being a cad? Over/Under - 12 seconds.

Don has learned something but will he change? Doubtful.

But that's okay.



It's been an interesting series. They did some stuff that I haven't seen done that well before on TV. Astute observation of the human condition.

There was also a fair bit of aimless drifting though.

A couple of odd and awkward forays into fat suits along the way.

What I really became increasingly aware of in this last half season was the weakness of the acting. I don't think we'll be hearing anything significant from much of anyone in that core group going forward.

Season 1 was right up there with the best seasons of anything ever for me. Season 1 was like a 9.6.

I'll have to give the whole think a rewatch at some point but not soon.

Overall, calling it a 7.6 out of 10 for me.

Louie episode 6 ----> very entertaining. Noice.
