What they disliked about it was probably what I liked . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kal17117 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Started watching The Orville. So far so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hir Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Been watching Callan starring Edward Woodward. I'd forgotten exactly how good this series was. It concerns The Section, a clandestine department of our security services. I've read a fair bit about this in last week or so and it is frequently described as the dirtiest depiction of the secret world of espionage ever shown on TV, it is very dark. Stella supporting cast throughout, many famous faces from late sixties, early seventies television. Almost all of the existing episodes on youtube. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top telly There was also a reasonably decent 1974 movie spin-off once you've finished the series (wasn't as good as the TV show, but worth a watch for completeness). What do you call a man with a piece of wood on his head ? Edwood What do you call a man with 3 pieces of wood on his head ? Edwood wood wood. I'll get me coat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hir Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) @Boojum It was the film that brought me back to the series. Not a bad film adaption but lacks the grit of the TV version. . Edited August 12, 2021 by Hir 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Could never be doing with the James Bond kinda spy/secret service agent, all that glamour and hokum, real spying is a fucking filthy business, much preferred the grit and cynicism of Callan and the realism of John le Carre (I still think Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is one of the best TV dramas ever made E2A and The Spy Who Came In From The Cold is one of my favourite films, Richard Burton's world-weary performance is IIMHO one of his very best, brilliant ).

Fixed that for you. Fucking Marvel, how many characters are there in the Marvel comic universe? Lots more than the 15 or so they've wheeled out to be clichéd to death on screen for the past decade. Even in death, they get a poorly written origin film, or spin-off series. Vision - Dead, but gets a series. Black Widow - Dead, but gets a film. The characters very rarely get injured, or have their hair or make-up put out of place, or even show being out of breath. Things you can expect to see in a Marvel film.. Hulk smash Spider sensing Captain America jumping over some shit. Doctor Strange making a portal Iron man flying Thor throwing something Silver surfer surfing Groot promoting Groot merchandise. Wolverine's claws going shhhhhhkkk Natalie Portman's wormhole. Edited August 15, 2021 by Saddam 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched many of the film's, too much shit CGI in most of em to be watchable, and of course Disney is going to whore out the characters, even more so than marvel. Just finished season one of black summer, which I think is better than anything marvel have produced imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddam Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) DC aren't much better, it's been Superman, Superman, Superman, Superman, Superman, Batman, Batman, Batman, Batman and Robin, Superman, Batman, Superman, Batman vs Superman, Wonder Woman, Justice League (featuring Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman), Wonder Woman, Justice League Snyder cut (featuring Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman), Wonder Woman. Doom Patrol is quality because it has other original DC characters, and it's done in an original way, a bit weird but funny, and entertaining.
