Rather enjoyed once I'd got over the dubbing reminding me of watching "Heidi" as a kid. Will check it out...i love a sci fi! Same happened to me with dark, couldn't stand the dubbing first watch so never got passed episode 1..tried again recently, got over it after a few episodes and now loving the series! Also Carnival Row has dropped on Amazon prime, fantasy murder mystery, sounds Ineresting, gonna give it a go! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Love sci fi so may give em a go, I just hate dubbed TV/movies. Some folks can't be doing with subtitles but I'm the exact opposite, I really don't like dubbed stuff, I'd rather hear the original actors (cos even if you don't understand the words they're still conveying emotion and stuff, that's part of acting and you kinda miss that when it's dubbed, even if it's done well you're kinda missing part of the original actors' perfromance) and read subtitles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May well have to watch first 2 series again when the third one drops, that plot is a proper mind fuck to keep up with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple Jack Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Beforeigners - people from three different periods in the past have been materialising in the sea, in great numbers. A middle aged cop with issues is teamed up with a Viking woman, sorry, person of Norse origin. It is Norwegian. Every bit a cheesy as it sounds, but I like it.

Boojum Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Watched Mindhunter and enjoyed it (well, enjoyed is possibly the wrong word given the subject matter, but found it compelling). Currently re-watching Justified cos I really enjoyed it and was kinda in the mood ( and one of the bonuses of watching summat drunk the first time is that you forget most of it so can re-watch it without it being overfamiliar ), enjoying it again second time round, I think it really captures the flavour of Elmore Leonard's writing (the pilot was based on one of his short stories and he was a producer on the show), particularly the dialogue (IMHO Elmore Leonard wrote dialoge better than anyone else - 'the poet laureate of wild assholes with revolvers' ).

E2A Noticed The Boys mentioned, another Garth Ennis comic that I enjoyed and that was much better than the TV adaptation, I gave up on that one too. And don't even get me started on Constantine (I know Garth Ennis didn't create John Constantine, but his run on Hellblazer was IMHO when it was at its best, the TV show was bad and the movie with Canoe Reeves was a fucking abortion).

McHazy Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Nailed it there booj The Sandman is fucking epic Gaiman is right up there but Pratchett is top for me with Robert Rankin a close second 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McHazy Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 If we are talking writers in general of course for comics aye top 3 for sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Aye (sorry, last off topic post) Pratchett and Rankin are in my favourites writers (in any category/genre) too, and Iain Banks (with or without the M). All folks who don't/didn't just understand writing, they understand story and I think that's a different thing. Telling tales is older than writing, and telling good tales well is about more than just nice writing.
