2024 + 2025 TV and Movies Thread

I would rather have my teeth pulled one by one followed by a circumcision and a castration than have to endure watching an episode of big brother.

anyone who can endure watching it has my admiration for being so tolerant and able to do so.

however you will also have my opinion of your stance as a professional and worthy member of society reduced by a huge amount.
I will still talk to you but consider you a Pratt!!!

Remember the scene in A Clockwork Orange when Alex is forced to watch the film. Nothing less than that would make me watch BB, Love Island, Made in Chelsea or a few other programs in that genre.

So not your jam, then, guys?


I have been watching Agatha All Along on Disney, and it seems to fit into the “we’re Marvel, people will watch it, I don’t care how good it is” section.

Also rewatching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in preparation for the season 3

I get the impression that BB makes up the rules of a game as they go along?

That Red/blue thing didn’t really go anywhere except who’s up for first eviction. (Spoiler: most of them)

I’ve never seen so many teeth veneers in one go

Of course BB just does it's think.
When this series first came on they say something like "Who wins.... you decide..." to which I said "No we don't" my daughter looked at me like I was thick and replied "yes we do, we vote". I had to point out that, the way BB edits what is happening influences who people vote for. I've seen it happen with Nikki Grahame in series 6.

I thought they had all had the Turkey Teeth job done..

So no change for me then..

BB final tonight… Go Ali. At least the annoying “literally” one is out.
Same time as Children In Need…. Seen paddy cross the line, that was a silly bike to ride on!

I’m a Celeb starts tomorrow… with actual celebs this time…

 

[Dan]

Anybody have any recommendations?

Anyone watching The Apprentice one of our favourites.

No. Because if anyone says “you’re fired” I get flashbacks.


TV.

Dancing on ice is still on.
If you don’t know, me and my middle daughter volunteer teaching ice skating to kids on Sundays in the winter.
When “DOI” starts on tv there’s a major influx of new members.

Britains Got Talent started last Saturday, so that’s a new crop of mediocre singers, crappy dog acts and kid magicians…. Oh, and not forgetting the silent horror shock acts… usually sword swallowers or people inserting other sharp objects into various orifices.


Movies.

Watched the latest Marvel film, “Captain America Brave New World” and it’s actually one of the better recent offerings.

 

[littlespark]

Celebrity Big Brother starts tonight… with people I’ve actually heard of!

Ok. Most of them, I’ve heard of.

Some names are familer

Faces… maybe.. names… maybe not.


Ok we’ve got a corrie actor in Jack P Shepherd.. Eastenders Bianca, Patsy Palmer. Presenter Angelica Bell, Drag act Danny Beard…. Olympic legend Daley Thompson, American “entertainer” Jojo Siwa and a bunch of TOWIE, Love Island rejects and an ex politician.

I should say “rumoured” to be entering the house tonight.

Don't really watch TV. The Aussie will come in from work and watch re-runs of NCIS for the 20th time whilst I make supper and then we'll fire up a Netflix/Prime something for a couple of hours. I even ditched the Sky box a couple of months ago as it was doing absolutely nothing that the smart TV can't do by itself anyway and you can't get on Freesat. In fact, much to our confusion there's about a thousand other satellite ch's appeared last night as well, none of which will ever get so much as glanced at.

“RG”???

Do you think his name is Rockin Git?

 

[westward10]

I always read it as Rockin' Git

 

[Rockingit]

FFS people, I mean it’s not like I haven’t been here over a decade….

It’s Rocking-it. Although in fairness the other version could also equally apply these days!!
